These people say they care about Gaza, but we all know deep down inside they couldn’t give less of a fuck.

It’s more important virtue signal than to sincerely hold those values, this is the democrat way.

    What did Trump actually do during his presidency that made Libs so fucking wild about him? His term was about as bad as your average Republican president but I don’t recall them having this existential crisis over Bush, who was arguably worse.

    All this fear is over shit Trump says he might do, even though he has a reputation for only ever doing half of what he says, if that. Most of the bad shit Trump actually did has continued under Biden. Are Libs that big or civility cucks that Trump being a bore pissed them off that much?

      A few deeper reasons than what you have posted that I can tell from my lib days:

      1. Trump is the first time for many liberals seeing state power being openly and proudly used. The state always acts violently, but usually dresses it up with ideology. Trump doesn’t bother doing this.
      2. Trump detests the “left” (liberals believing themselves to be left), which is true for most republicans, but Trump and his supporters revolve their politics around hatred of the Democrats. Liberals hated mitch McConnell for obstructing Obama, but that’s abstract stuff. Trump makes politics personal
      3. Trump breaks the illusion of the liberal world order (aka the fourth riech) being eternal. He is an visible symptom of liberal society’s decay and a reminder of its mortality.
