Isn't Trump the promiscuous candidate? Seems like one of them paid hush money illegally to hide his promiscuity and it wasn't Kamala.
It's grounding to read that baity title because the majority of articles we see are that "conservatives are [upset/angry/etc] about [event]" but they're likely no more upset than we would be about seeing this....
It's all manufactured rage and we're all victims. The real villain is the distraction/smoke show that keeps us at each other's throats.
That hasn’t been my experience at all. I watch Conservatives absolutely seethe over non-issues on a daily basis.
A “smoke show / distraction” also can’t be the villain. The villain would have to be the one causing the distraction. Whoever that villain is, it seems you have no answer.
And you yourself have not been guilty of seething? Regardless of your answer a conservative would likely say the same about the left as you just did.
I'm just suggesting everyone enjoys rage bait and it's not serving us or giving us a realistic picture of the truth. And I used a proverbial analog for the villain: fill in the blanks to your hearts content from context (landlords raising prices, food producers and shrinkflation, CEOs taking bonuses and fighting minimum wage increases).
No I can’t say I’ve ever seethed over a perceived or real slight from something a conservative said or did. Liberals are famously more likely to be aggravated by each other than conservatives. The entire concept of “causing offense to” and “being offended by” as a scoring system in political discourse is a distinctly conservative feature, it’s not a “both sides” kinda thing. It’s just an effect that conservatives specifically care about. It’s derived from American conservative cultural norms like traditional gender roles, views on masculinity, and virtue.
And your meaningless generic platitudes aren’t serving anyone nor painting any truth either lol.
You have the moral high ground, I concede.
It’s not a moral high ground, it’s just a difference in behavior between two general groups of people who have different values.
You keep doubling down on your racism and inability to acquire consent. Boil all the ‘moderates’ out of your stew, watch them evaporate.
It’s not like you need every vote you can get. 😇

I've never seen "clapter" on the internet before, usually it's just what you get at Jeff Dunham shows.
Seriously, though, this is entirely devoid of humor even if you agree with the premise... Like a shirt of T____p wearing a diaper. It kind of tracks, but it's not actually funny or pleasant to look at
