What's your favourite right-wing fallacy?

[goaded]

https://thinkingispower.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Logical-fallacies-cover-teacher.png

You don't want bad people killed or locked up without trial? You must love them!

You complained that Trump threatened a bad thing, why aren't you praising him for not going through with it?

Why are you upset about Trump making billions off his presidency? Biden made a million!

The "left's hypocrisy" as their one and only feeble argument; as well as their excuse for everything that's rotten about themselves:

• "Some libtards are sometimes hypocritical so this invariably means that they're not trustworthy, which in turn means that they're wrong about everything".
• "Some pinko socialist weirdos are sometimes hypocritical, so this means that they're bad people, which in turn gives me the right to be as much as a racist/sexist/fascist/homophobic/individualistic/anti-vaxx/climate-change-denying piece of shit I want to be without facing any consequences for my choices and actions".

The incredible stupidity behind the idea that revealing "the left" as either liars or bad persons somehow provides them with a licence to be the absolute human trash that they want to be while maintaining a clean conscience.

correct they are obsessed with playing the 'gotcha' game lol

I couldn't pick just one, but among my fav right wing bullshits are:

* The GOP and Conservatives are all about fiscal responsibility
* The right-wing cares about the working class
* We are "Law and Order" advocates
* There's no such thing institutionalized racism
* We're going to drain the swamp

LOL Ummm, are we great yet?

Well I can remember when Biden was sneaking around selling the Presidency in private and the Trumpers went nuts over a few million dollars made by Biden. Trumpers wanted him impeached , executed , tortured , and locked up. Biden did cheat , but at least he tried to hide it. Trump have sold the Presidency for $7 billion so far and he does it in plain sight , doesn't try to hide it. Turned White House lawn into a car lot for Elon. Pardons for sale. Insider Trading , stole countries oil, sold Bibles that he has never read. Gold shoes. Used Tariffs threat to get planes and gifts , and future contracts to build Trump Towers. He is trying to steal Gaza now. Yet Trumpers are ok with Trump robbing America.

The other big difference is that Biden didn't do any of that. Republicans lied about it.

The person who lied about a bribe paid to the Bidens was later jailed for lying to the FBI for it. His name was Alexander Smirnov. FFS! Russia, Russia, Russia.

"In a plea deal in December 2024, Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to a Republican effort to impeach then-President Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including one count of obstruction, and was sentenced to six years in prison." Strangely enough, it appears he was quietly allowed to leave prison and never return shortly after Trump took office.

Hunter was a bit of a con artist, pretending he could get his father to do stuff, but nobody seriously thinks he managed.

You know the Department of "Justice" is trying to get the seditious conspiracy convictions for Jan 6 overturned? Trump's running a crime syndicate, with full support of the whole Republican party.

Pro freedom for American citizens unless you're a woman.

Women shouldn't be allowed to vote! They want to repeal the 19th Amendment. In the meantime, make it harder for women to vote by the SAVE (Republicans' asses) Act.

[OddBeMe]

Don't know im only one bothered Trump is profiting off presidency

[goaded]

Not at all. There was a question about it with a video of cups, but I can't find it any more.

[goaded]

More dangerous is that Trump is pardoning and overturning the convictions of anyone who broke the law for him or does him a favour. "Though".

[Still-alive]

Well there's always the age old classic of the JEWS run the entire world and our lives or hollywood or our worlds banks lol...

[Still-alive]

Right now with maga is basically 'yeah its totally ok if pedo's run our lives or our government as long as its our pedo's!'

basically turning a complete blind eye to trump being in the epstein files.

Yeah, the anti-Semetic one's a good example, but so old I'd forgotten it. All Jews, of course, even the ones with flower shops are in control of everything!

That said, right now, Zionists are committing genocide. (Which is absolutely not the same as, say, my Jewish cousins.)

Trump can do no wrong, in their eyes, but Biden was corrupt. Insanity!

[Still-alive]

yeah thats the fucked up thing about what the zionists are doing. they're bringing anti-smitism back. i mean i hope people are smart enough to realize that jews and zionists are not the same thing even though israel is playing off peoples confusiion about that.

im afraid even after this is all over we are gonna deal with a whole lot more real anti semites thanks to israels actions.

[goaded]

I'm really pissed at the Democrats not voting to condemn AIPAC. And the Republicans for avoiding a vote on the war. Which is worse.

[Still-alive]

yeah unfortunately we got too many corporate backed dems who would rather cuck themselves to israel than actually do real progressive things we all want.

We all need to realize this and vote them out in primaries! More mamdanis, less chuck schumers!

[goaded]

Absolutely!

"I came across a #Mamdani #pothole patrol! In the first picture, a man fills a pothole w asphalt from the truck while another sets up orange barrels. Then I missed him using a broom w super long bristles to sweep the asphalt over the hole & begin tamping it down. Next, he gets the watering can filled w liquid tar, while a third guy tamps down the #asphalt. As he pours tar around the outside edge, the truck starts moving! Poof they disappear, dragging barrels behind.
Quite the spectacle." mastodon.online/.../116387623298495707

[Still-alive]

very nice! yes we need more like him!

It's really not that complicated!

[SmokinAces2000]

Has to be the “trump only threatened to wipe out an entire country. He wasn’t actually going to do it”

[msc545]

People are willing to tolerate a president with severe mental illness and horribly impaired insight and judgment.

[jazzy34]

None. All of the rhetoric is dangerous.

[goaded]

You're not wrong.

Trump built a wall.
