They only care if they have autistic kids. This isn’t the entire GOP. They’re not at all interested in empathy. This clickbait Substack bullshit needs to stop.
Maybe a couple of Republicans. That’s simply cos I don’t want to be rude enough to say -“A Republican probably temporarily cares enough to frown a bit, though not enough to even consider not voting for the rapist conman asshole again.”
I think he’s mentioning it because it actually hits close to home, which is a totally reasonable thing to do. Its crazy how your projections just ran with it though.
That's exactly my fucking point. Why does it take until it personally affects them for them to realise the error of their beliefs?
I'm not friends with anyone that identifies as trans. There are no trans people in my family. My life has never been directly affected by the plight of the trans community.
But I still vote for their rights. I support their community. I fight anti-trans bigotry when I see it, and I expect those close to me to do the same.
Why? Because it's the right thing to do.
If you only realise the awful effect of your beliefs when it affects your life, you're a selfish piece of shit. And if you can't understand the plight of your constituents because their problems haven't directly influenced your life, you have no place in elected government.
I've seen this plenty of times where a die-hard conservative aligns with liberals for one specific topic because they personally were affected and realize the liberal approach is vastly better than the conservative default 'solution' of ignoring the problem; from disabled children to suicide to drugs...
However they never seem to expand their understanding beyond that one narrow topic.
This is unironically the only way republicans grow. These people CANNOT comprehend putting themselves in someone else’s shoes for even a second. They have no empathy for anyone who they do not directly care about and that’s why it ALWAYS takes someone close to them being LGBTQ, disabled, impoverished etc. It should genuinely be studied.
It wasn’t just MAGA that elected him. People who supported him are already trying to wiggle their way out of accountability by turning on him now that everyone knows he’s a sinking ship. We can’t let the recent flipfloppers get away with what they’ve done.
"I can excuse sexism, raped children, racism, white supremacy, blatant corruption, fascism, and war crimes, but I draw the line at saying retarded" - no Republican ever.
In the coming days and months more and more of them are going to try to gaslight you into believing that they've seen the error of their ways now that Trumps cult is beginning to fray. It's important that everyone remember that they were cheering while he did all of this, and never give any weight to their opinions for the rest of your life.
It’s like everyone glazing MTG for turning on Trump. She still pushed “Jewish Space Lasers,” pushed school shootings as false flags and harassed school shooting survivors. She should be considered as nothing more than a useful idiot.
This guy only cares because his daughter has Downs. That’s the only reason it triggered him. Conservatives don’t care until it affects them personally.
Reddits favorite slur. My most downvoted comment is when I suggested we listen to the people who have family members with a cognitive disability and stop using that word so often. This was a month ago.
“Well idiot and moron used to be medical terms that we use now and they are ok to use now” is the what I was told when I suggested it’s still offensive to some people and shouldn’t be used.
I saw another post on one of the main subs in October or where the top comment, by like 14k, was in defense of using the word. And people who said they had family members who were hurt by the word were being downvoted and replied to “well I once met someone with down syndrome who loves the word!”
Is this The Onion or from 2015? The guy that fomented an insurrection and fake electors scheme after calling to suspend the constitution and we're still worried about his decorum <.<
The new hard-r has been “republican” for almost a decade now. Has nothing to do with a chromosomal abnormality, just cognitive development (or decline).
Doesn’t matter. From Trump’s perspective, he’s untouchable, and there won’t be another election in his lifetime. The lawmakers can say whatever they want, and he’ll drive them out of office, right after Cheney, Kinzinger, Greene and all the others.
Any Republican that revolts will be back in the fold when they realize there's no real revolt happening and everyone is fine with it. Then they'll be 100% pro Trump again. Graham. Cruz. Rubio. Haley. All were outspoken when Trump did something/said something outrageous. They were busy fellating him months later when they realized the Republican base doesn't give a fuck.
Exactly, he mocked a disabled journalist in his campaign in 2015. His behaviour is nothing new. It’s just that this maga politician is pissed bc his daughter was insulted. Theyre fine with trump insulting, mocking and abusing everyone until it’s someone they know or care about . Fuck these elite cunts
Bullshit... He mocked a disabled reporter during the 2016 campaign. You don't care about the slur against impaired people. You only care because one of you has an impaired child.
Fuckers only care about this when it affects them. Fuck everyone else.
It seems that the Republican Party is primarily comprised of individuals who have no empathy, and therefore, cannot bring themselves to care about anyone or thing until it personally affects them, so this definitely tracks.
The people who Trump and co has been disappearing for months didn’t matter. The pedophilia didn’t matter. The 200+ illegal acts taken by him and his administration already in this term alone didn’t matter. But these people either know someone who has a mental disability or have kids that have a mental disability, and so now his actions and words are a step too far…
But watch, the goalposts will be effortlessly shifted soon enough, and something we teach literal children not to say will be acceptable for our president to say on live TV going forward.
He literally fucked children. I dont think his base cares. I used to see "Kill your local pedophile" stickers on the back windshields of trucks with thin blue line and Trump bumper stickers all the time in Nebraska. They have been few and far between recently...
For those who want to argue he didnt, release the unredacted Epstein files. Prove to us he is this God bearing man with 3 wives, 34 felony convictions, 2 times impeached, man with morals currently holding the highest office in the United States.
He could scrape his asshole with the cross and they'd be deeply offended, but never actually say anything to his face. Nor would they do anything to actually hold him accountable.
We’re pretending like 2028 will be an election year and they’re realizing a majority of Americans absolutely can’t stand our leadership and are starting to crawl out from the scum.
We’re pretending of course, because so long as the man lives there will never be an accurate free election again.
My theory is they’re starting to see the light seeping in. They don’t want to admit they were wrong in the preceding years and allowed for us to be here so it isn’t going to be any number of past faults they point to. They’re going to zero in on current and future faults and pretend like NOW he’s crossed the line. None of the other stuff. Even if some of the new stuff is par for trumps course
Respectfully this is a very optimistic take one I see from Leftists and Liberals a lot. Where one magical day MAGA is going to "wake up" apologize, admit their faults, and we all live happily ever after.
And that's not what's happening nor what is going to happen. Their just going to lie, when this empire crumbles they'll just lie. Say they were victims of propaganda, paint some foreign agents as the real culprits behind campaigns of misinformation. But the wise part will be the gaslighting the media will stick to its script about how Trump was the actual problem.
Dems will speak about moving forward, helping thy neighbor, and bipartisanship and in the next 2 decades the final form of Trump will walk us directly into a dictatorship because no one understands what Trump is.
Trump is a pedophile who has done this before. There is no line. He has stripped away people’s rights, made everything worse for everyone who isn’t himself and his cronies, has called for the death of sitting politicians, called his own party member’s wife “a dog,” cheated on his wives, been impeached, has committed numerous sex crimes and regular crimes, cozied up to fascists… there is no line and this isn’t one either
"He speaks his mind", "Tells it like it is", "F your feelings". Now that people are finding out his policies are as bad as his rhetoric they're slowly backing away.
We have been hearing stuff like this for 10 years. He is NOT done, he still operates with complete impunity, he still owns the courts and the entire Republican party. No one is standing up to him while he declares martial law, rigs elections and commits war crimes. Im so sick of these articles.
Idk why anonymous substack blogs are even allowed here. They obviously are not trustworthy. Its like getting your news from a guy named Q and trusting it face value.
I'm not going say there is a good source of info at all nowadays, but come on. At least pretend like you're trying.
This absolutely is not a real issue. Trump mocked a disabled reporter at a rally by holding his hands up and physically pretending to be disabled and nobody cared.
As someone who was repeatedly harassed at school with that slur, it disgusts me that this abhorrent collection of organs is allowed to be in a position of power.
nope
Republican politicians don’t give a shit that he said this. They just know he’s in decline and it’s grifting time
MTG is leading the charge in that front lol
Agreed, magic the gathering is probably going to release a Donald Trump Secret Lair pretty soon.
but nothing will come of it and impunity continues....la la la
Exactly. People call virtually everything he does indefensible - and they do nothing about it.
He can say it though... He has a doctors note to prove it...
Does not fit subreddit. A headline is not a consequence.
Should be removed imo, and posted elsewhere.
I am eager for the day when anything, anything regarding the Republican Chosen One fits this sub,
but I will not be satisfied with mere PR vibes.
*retarted is what I saw in the original, as I recall.
Oh please. "That one thing he said is indefensible, but I still support him, his policies, and his unconstitutional desire for a third term."
That's hardly "Republicans revolt."
He's said much worse, why the outrage now? Be consistent!
Well it affected one of their own, he isn’t a poor, and Republican feefees were hurt. I’d say their reaction is pretty consistent.
Really, that's your line. Really In all truth, i think this is just what a couple of them are saying as an excuse to leave a sinking ship
that's what my money is on as well
A word.
Impeachment.
Is also another word. Wonder how that would go right now with the GOP getting ready to burn Trump at the stake for the midterms.
They only care if they have autistic kids. This isn’t the entire GOP. They’re not at all interested in empathy. This clickbait Substack bullshit needs to stop.
The headline should really include the word "some". As in "some republicans-"
I’d be stunned if it were 10 or more.
We're considering zero to be "some" now?
Maybe even a few might be more appropriate
Maybe a couple of Republicans. That’s simply cos I don’t want to be rude enough to say -“A Republican probably temporarily cares enough to frown a bit, though not enough to even consider not voting for the rapist conman asshole again.”
Ah yes, random SubStack had the finger on the pulse of the Republican establishment.
This subreddit has a serious sourcing problem.
Oh, they care about using the R word, but not about mocking Serge Kovaleski's condition? That wasn't basically the same exact thing?
“For thee, not for me”
Sure but they’re not going to do anything about it.
No they aren’t.
“Revolt”? Nah
Oh, what a fucking hero.
Just another Republican lawmaker who only gives a shit when it affects his precious little life.
I think he’s mentioning it because it actually hits close to home, which is a totally reasonable thing to do. Its crazy how your projections just ran with it though.
That's exactly my fucking point. Why does it take until it personally affects them for them to realise the error of their beliefs?

Republicans is plural.
Article only has one example.
“Words have consequences”.
Yea, so f*ck off.
Don't worry. As time goes on, everyone non-MAGA will be mocking him the way he did the disabled journalist.
It wasn’t just MAGA that elected him. People who supported him are already trying to wiggle their way out of accountability by turning on him now that everyone knows he’s a sinking ship. We can’t let the recent flipfloppers get away with what they’ve done.
"I can excuse sexism, raped children, racism, white supremacy, blatant corruption, fascism, and war crimes, but I draw the line at saying retarded" - no Republican ever.

Any republican who would be offended by this left MAGA long ago
Really? That finally trigger them? Not other horrible things that his had done?
They see an opening and a few are taking a shot with whatever they’ve got. Doubt it’s his undoing but I’m happy to see the infighting.
This guy only cares because his daughter has Downs. That’s the only reason it triggered him. Conservatives don’t care until it affects them personally.
Especially since he mocked that disabled reporter AT THE VERY BEGINNING and they didn’t care then?! Unbelievable.
Imagine what he says in private!
Reddits favorite slur. My most downvoted comment is when I suggested we listen to the people who have family members with a cognitive disability and stop using that word so often. This was a month ago.

"too little too late", or in terms to scale, microscopic and the sun already set years ago
They didn’t care during the first term when he made nasty comments about the Special Olympics. Why the pearl clutching now?
Is this The Onion or from 2015? The guy that fomented an insurrection and fake electors scheme after calling to suspend the constitution and we're still worried about his decorum <.<
Guess they are getting tired of "winning" all the time, cause they usually would have had a lame ass but Biden/Obama excuse queued up.
Where are the shoe throwers when you need them?
In Iraq
Lol bro is definitely going to publicly say the n word soon.
Where is the justice and why would the people who also use that word care?
It's telling that even his own party is finally admitting how harmful this rhetoric is.
100% NOT justice served.
The new hard-r has been “republican” for almost a decade now. Has nothing to do with a chromosomal abnormality, just cognitive development (or decline).
These people are so fucking weird
Doesn’t matter. From Trump’s perspective, he’s untouchable, and there won’t be another election in his lifetime. The lawmakers can say whatever they want, and he’ll drive them out of office, right after Cheney, Kinzinger, Greene and all the others.
No more elections in his lifetime? I heard his MRI indicates he’s stronger than a horse and healthier than a baby. Takes more naps than a baby too
Not because he won’t live past 2028.
Soils more diapers too. People are saying.
One Republican revolted, the rest cheer this shit on.
Any Republican that revolts will be back in the fold when they realize there's no real revolt happening and everyone is fine with it. Then they'll be 100% pro Trump again. Graham. Cruz. Rubio. Haley. All were outspoken when Trump did something/said something outrageous. They were busy fellating him months later when they realized the Republican base doesn't give a fuck.
We've seen it so many times.
I mean, he started his campaign by mocking a disabled reporter. Few batted an eye then. I doubt much has changed in his fan base.
Exactly, he mocked a disabled journalist in his campaign in 2015. His behaviour is nothing new. It’s just that this maga politician is pissed bc his daughter was insulted. Theyre fine with trump insulting, mocking and abusing everyone until it’s someone they know or care about . Fuck these elite cunts
I've never come across a maga person who will ever have an issue making similar comments.
Bullshit... He mocked a disabled reporter during the 2016 campaign. You don't care about the slur against impaired people. You only care because one of you has an impaired child.
Fuckers only care about this when it affects them. Fuck everyone else.
Of all the things he’s done, this is where they draw the line? wtf
Especially since he mocked that disabled reporter before his first election!

No one's drawing a line. Don't take the bait. Nothing has changed.
He could scrape his asshole with the cross and they'd be deeply offended, but never actually say anything to his face. Nor would they do anything to actually hold him accountable.
Still not justice being served though.
Oh my is this pearl clutching from the "fuck your feelings" party?
Something else is going on he's been offensive and racist for years but the r-slur is their love, since when?!
We’re pretending like 2028 will be an election year and they’re realizing a majority of Americans absolutely can’t stand our leadership and are starting to crawl out from the scum.

The GOP are just mad cause those 2 words called every single one of them out
.
And him mocking that disabled reporter 10 years ago was defensible?
It was plausibly deniable to them.
He's done so many reprehensible things that should have turned voters off, yet here we are.
"He speaks his mind", "Tells it like it is", "F your feelings". Now that people are finding out his policies are as bad as his rhetoric they're slowly backing away.
We have been hearing stuff like this for 10 years. He is NOT done, he still operates with complete impunity, he still owns the courts and the entire Republican party. No one is standing up to him while he declares martial law, rigs elections and commits war crimes. Im so sick of these articles.
Ya this seems unfitting for this subreddit, in no way has justice been served here
oh, THAT's what make them a little unsure of him?
oh, because he insulted one of them. that's why they care, because of friendly fire...
Grabbing women by the pussy wasn't a deal breaker for Maga. They'll fall back in line.
It’s not offensive when he says it, he’s got a pass
This site spams this sub and it's never on topic. How was Justice Served here? unpresidented substack should be banned.
Idk why anonymous substack blogs are even allowed here. They obviously are not trustworthy. Its like getting your news from a guy named Q and trusting it face value.
I'm not going say there is a good source of info at all nowadays, but come on. At least pretend like you're trying.
It's not just allowed, the posts from that account are pinned, which means a mod is making money from it
Good observation. Time to unsub.
This one bothers me because the headlines are always click-bait and have nothing to do with the subs it shows up in.

This absolutely is not a real issue. Trump mocked a disabled reporter at a rally by holding his hands up and physically pretending to be disabled and nobody cared.
And this was before he got elected the first time.
Everything from this substack just seems like sensationalist slop.
People have been saying that it’s over for him for almost ten years now. I’ll believe it when I see it
Wake me up when anything actually comes from this.
That's where they draw the line?
They don't have a line.
When he's nm cuffs, justice may actually finally be served.
This is just empty words from his coworkers
As someone who was repeatedly harassed at school with that slur, it disgusts me that this abhorrent collection of organs is allowed to be in a position of power.
Justice? Served? Where?
They'll accept, excuse, and apologize for Trump being a pedophile, rapist, grifter, and felon.
But, this...this is over the line? This is the line in the sand for them?
MAGA is a fucking joke.
I think you mean media is a joke. There’s absolutely no way MAGA cares about this.
