Deplorable Garbage
The latest “foot in mouth” moment by President Biden had him seemingly call supporters of President Trump garbage. There is an argument to be made on the context of what he said and whether he was talking about President Trump supporters OR about the supporters of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who made a joke about Puerto Rico during the Trump-Vance rally at Madison Square Garden. In fact, they are the same people, so the point is moot.
The joke from Hinchliffe was about a “floating pile of garbage in the ocean”. The punchline was the floating pile of garbage is Puerto Rico. As expected, the entire Democratic Party lost their collective minds that a known insult comic made a joke about Puerto Rico that was (gasp) an insult.
Insult comics are nothing new. Don Rickles was the master, but there were and are plenty of insult comics out there. Watch a celebrity roast like the ones for Tom Brady or Justin Bieber or Kevin Hart. There are comics up there that do NOTHING but insult these people. It’s a whole genre. Look it up. But the left has determined the joke by Hinchcliffe was beyond compare and anyone who supports him, and by extension President Trump, are garbage. It came from the top. President Biden said it.
Similarly, President Obama spent the last two weeks insulting men who support President Trump. In the first instance, he was extremely condescending toward black men he referred to as “the brothers” and how they shouldn’t vote for President Trump because he didn’t grow up like them. Most recently, he insulted any man who supports President Trump because they “believe Trump’s behavior somehow demonstrates strength,” going on to tell everyone else what “real strength” is. Ironically, the last qualifier he used for showing real strength is “how you treat everyone with dignity and respect”.
Give me a break. Seriously.
Since 2008 when President Obama started running for office, the insults from the left have been too many to count. Obama has been known as “The Divider in Chief” for the level of racial division he has sewed in this country. He also needed to be convinced by his Secretary of State (Clinton) and his Secretary of Defense (Gates) to approve the mission to kill Osama bin Laden because he was afraid of upsetting the Pakistani government. When you don’t have the courage to make that decision, after over three thousand Americans were killed, you don’t get to talk to me about strength.
Seriously, President Obama, go fuck yourself.
Fast forward a few years to 2016 when Secretary Clinton ran for President and famously referred to Trump supporters as a “Basket of Deplorables”. Tell me, President Obama, is that treating everyone with dignity and respect? Does that mean Secretary Clinton was NOT showing real strength? I have always respected Secretary Clinton for being strong in her decisions and her conviction whether she was right or wrong and whether I agree with her or not. She was, however, part of the insult crew that has been part of the name calling for the last two decades. It’s nothing new.
Even First Lady Michelle Obama who said “When they go low, we go high” as a response to President Trump’s name calling, has abandoned her own mantra. She has been on the trail, stumping for Harris-Walz, insulting people along the way, including calling Senator Vance “weird” and referring to President Trump with the same old line of crap: misogynist, racist, etc. She is clearly not “going high”. Although, she never really did.
This is, truly, who Democrats have become. Vice President Harris and her running mate Governor Walz are keeping up the same fire, tossing insult cocktails around as often as they can. Comparing President Trump to Hitler, calling his rallies Neo-Nazi and fascist, and lying about President Trump being a racist by invoking the VERY edited and LONG-TIME debunked Charlottesville quotes is the menu for the day.
Have you noticed when it backfires, they all claim they were misunderstood? They misspoke? Or in the forever stupid words of Governor Walz “I’m just a knucklehead”. Yeah, Tim, that’s what we want in an elected official, and admitted knucklehead. We are also subjected to the VP Harris word salad that she uses so often and also hides behind, until she can’t. “You know what I’m talking about…” “No, actually, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Remember that one? Classic. Or, in the latest trend, they try to distance themselves from whoever tossed the insult.
I know there are people reading this and thinking “President Trump insults people all the time!!” You’re not wrong. He does. Here is the difference. First, he is usually insulting a specific person like Vice President Harris or Governor Walz. Everyone knows how he uses nicknames, but generally, he isn’t insulting wide swaths of their followers, unlike the Democrat leaders. Second, when he goes after specific groups, they are SPECIFIC like ANTIFA and Neo-Nazis and white supremacists and illegal immigrants and Democratic leaders. Lastly, President Trump doesn’t pretend like he isn’t insulting people and then insult them again and then deny it again and then insult them again…like Biden, Obama, Clinton, Harris, and Walz. He owns that shit.
In an interesting twist after the “garbage” statement by President Biden, President Trump asked everyone to give him a pass. He said very earnestly, “Please forgive him for not knowing what he said. These people are terrible, terrible, terrible to say a thing like that. But he really doesn’t know. He really honestly, he doesn’t.” Pretty sure you wouldn’t get that statement out of Hillary.
I have been tolerant over the last couple of decades. I have met a number of high-level politicians over the years. I understand the level of egomania and narcissism that seems to reside up there. I know much of what they say is driven by the political games being played. I have made excuses and have been accepting of the words from these “leaders”. I know they are shitty as human beings. I let it go.
I’m kinda done with letting it go. I’ve seen so many obvious Democrat voters acting like complete assholes lately and I’m over it. There are plenty of examples of sign stealing, doorbell ringing tantrums, violent attacks, and even people screaming at toddlers. I’m really sick of it. The final straw, honestly, was watching Democrat supporters attack their own friends and family, insulting them and calling them horrible things, solely because of a Pro-Trump post on social media.
And they are doing it with impunity. There are almost no “in-kind” counterattacks, from what I have seen, coming from Conservatives when things get personal. What I see are plenty of “that’s your opinion” and “agree to disagree” and “have a nice day” responses to radical Democrats hurling insults. I will never claim there aren’t Republicans hurling insults, I am sure that is happening out there somewhere, but not in the volume I am seeing from Liberals. Not anywhere close.
So, here I am. Tired of the bullshit. Tired of being attacked. Tired of being insulted and talked down to. Tired of biting my tongue and turning the other cheek. Yeah, that’s me…Deplorable Garbage. And proud of it.
