I love quoting that to libs, because they pull the 'out of context' card.
The context is even worse!
Sorry you did an xyz-fallacy, your argument is now invalid. Checkmate.
Yeah, I honestly don't understand what context they think he said that in. Full quote:
By the way, you know, remember I got in trouble with some of the people on my team, on the Democratic side, because I said, ‘You know what I’ve found is rich people are just as patriotic as poor people.’ Not a joke. I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money.
The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change. Because when we have income inequality as large as we have in the United States today, it brews and ferments political discord and basic revolution. Not a joke. Not a joke. I’m not (inaudible) revolution. But not a joke. It allows demagogues to step in and say the reason where we are is because of the other, the other.” You’re not the other. I need you very badly. I hope if I win this nomination, I won’t let you down. I promise you. I have a bad reputation, I always say what I mean. The problem is I sometimes say all that I mean.
The context is that he was speaking to a bunch of rich assholes. "No one's standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change ... I won't let [my wealthy donors] down. I promise you."
Ugh.
Are you kidding me? "Nothing?" Uhh, what do you call being able to GRILL again then?? Isn't that what this is all about?
Thinking about how easily Trump could have played his cards and now be praised as a demi God by 99.99% of mass media, it's terrifying and infuriating at the same time. Like “goddamit this idiot can’t even do fascism properly”.
Like, the first day he goes "Dental health for all" and speak paternalistic till the day he dies, and that's it.
Terrifying, and at the same time "goddamit this idiot can't even do fascism properly"
Imagine not being able to properly place the anvil into the Acme Insta-Coup.
Lovely_sombrero is actually David Brooks. Cant believe they doxxed themselves like that.
A kind of coup. Just a little coup-type thing. A couplette. Coupito.
