I know several DP posters that voted for her just because they thought she was “hawt”, imagine if they thought they actually had a shot at getting a handy?
Other poster answered, but one of the best recent cases of DARVO is when Tucker blames the Democrats for making the conservatives go down a fascist road…the only thing missing is him yelling “look what you made us do!”
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it claimed to be removing the judiciary from the abortion debate. In reality, it simply gave the courts a macabre new task: deciding how far states can push a patient toward death before allowing her to undergo an emergency abortion....
Don’t forget not owning a phone, having Internet/Netflix and/or a TV.
I still chuckle about an article called “boomer economics”, or something like that, which demonstrated how much a certain set of people distort the costs of things like the above vs. the reality. Tvs are exceptionally cheap as compared to, say, 1970s prices, phones are nearly essential, as is the Internet and the cost of Netflix (and avocado toast) is negligible compared to making rent/mortgage.
Yeah, it’s Worthington’s Law in action. I cannot reference this enough, because this is actually how many people think. I cannot believe how many conversations about Elon/Donnie/Bezos/Gates, etc all ended with the equivalent of “yeah, but he makes more money than YOU!” (which I nearly always sound not very distant from “My dad can beat up YOUR dad!”. It’s pathetic.
I thought it was dumb when I first started seeing it in 2015 or so. It wasn’t even original (just ripped off CDS and ODS), and when it is applied to anyone critiquing someone such as donnie who is so unqualified and so flawed and terrible as a person vs. those that went into full rage-outs (and still do) over Hillary, Bill and Barack, it borders on laughable.
As always, the right are projecting. They had full derangement over tan suits, latte salutes, long form birth certificates, bad land deals (that the Clintons lost money on) and stains on dresses. They have no leg to stand on when claiming anyone has “derangement” over donnie.
The animating concept behind the Trump campaign will be chaos. This is what history shows us fascists do when given the chance to participate in democratic political campaigns: They create chaos. They do it because chaos works to their advantage. They revel in it, because they can see how profoundly chaos unnerves...
Sorry, I didn’t word that very well. I mean within our borders. The extremists on the right wing get tingly in their swimming suit areas over the idea of killing their fellow citizens, and over stupid shit like not being sufficiently deferential to their Orange Jesus (OJ), being POC, gay, an uppity woman or liberal, and so on.
I’m assuming they are a fringe, but this kind of terrorism on a nation-state level does not require a majority. Not even all of the conservatives taken as a group are a majority. I suspect the teabaggers types are 30% or less of the population, and the ones that will gleefully cheer on/actively participate in genocide are probably less, but it’s still at a very scary point, since even 10% of them and having a government that backs them is a recipe for disaster.
