I can’t wait for the mental gymnastics MAGA people will do when they get asked about this.

When are we going to collectively decide to excise the cancer that is Christian Conservatism in the U.S.?

What are they doing?

assassin_aragorn ,

Hopefully soon. Republicans have been losing big because of abortion, and they’re incapable of controlling the narrative because the lunatics are running the asylum.

Generational change was happening slowly, and then the Republican conspiracy theories with COVID accelerated it as elderly red voters died who could otherwise lived. Abortion being overturned has lit a fire in young people to actually get to the polls too. Going all in on Trump has also irreparably tainted the party for upper middle class who’d otherwise vote for him.

I don’t know if the history books will say it was 2020, 2022, 2024, or 2028, but I’m very hopeful that sometime this decade will be when American conservativism is rendered unviable. We just need one more big push.

His supporters should be really mad about this. Generally they are the ones that invoke the Constitution anytime their lifestyle is inconvenienced.

reagansrottencorpse ,

Yeah but everything they do and say is in bad faith.

Donald Trump… the sovereign citizen of world leaders.

bender223 ,

wait, so does that mean he was never actually president?

themeatbridge ,

Worse than that, he wants the job again, and he’s on his way to being the Republican nominee.

tryagain ,

He’s going to win and he’s going to finish the job of dismantling the United States of America. He’s quite open about it.

ExLisper ,

I guess his supreme court nomination are void then. Nice.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Apparently the oath that military folks take actually has the word “support” in it, but the one the president takes says “preserve, protect and defend.”

essteeyou ,

Aren’t they specific types of support?

AFKBRBChocolate ,

The military one is:

I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

So that one specifically says “support.”

The 14th amendment says:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

He’s trying to argue that since the presidential oath doesn’t use that word, and that word is specifically used in the 14th amendment, it didn’t apply to him.

wildcardology ,

They are different according to them. They’re trying to find loopholes.

TheJims ,

His personality disorders renders him incapable of supporting the Constitution.

No, he is bought by foreign influence and has discovered a way to monetize dismantling the United States

Trump feels he is more important than it.

carl_dungeon ,

He probably had his fingers crossed and his ears stuffed with gold cheese puffs

rifugee ,

In the picture of him swearing an oath to support the constitution, he has a hand on the bible and another raised, so he must have been crossing his toes. That totally counts…in kindergarten.

bradinutah ,

When the case is super weak, look for toe crossing in the next court filing.

Ever think about how if Bill Clinton had called the mother of a recently KIA marine without knowing his name we would still be hearing about it?

I haven't heard about that since the month it happened.

ThrowawayPermanente ,

Bill Clinton didn’t know how to manage a scandal - do something much worse right away to distract everyone.

anon_8675309 ,

What a piece of shit. How can anyone support this trash?

Krackalot ,

Because they too are pieces of shit.

zzzzz ,

Or dumb. Or not paying attention. Or some combination of the above.

dbilitated ,
@dbilitated@aussie.zone avatar

they’re paying attention to propaganda

themeatbridge ,

Seriously, is there a difference? If someone drives a car into a wall, are they less stupid if they just weren’t paying attention?

zzzzz ,

Yes, possibly. Smart people can do dumb things.

I suppose, in the end, it actually depends on how you define smart and dumb…

themeatbridge ,

Stupid is as stupid does.

bradinutah ,

This is the simple phrase that separates intelligence and wisdom. Forrest Gump was not a smart man. He was a wise man.

Very rarely, Trump is right accidentally. For example, recently he said that the true threat to America is coming from within. He meant the left, but he was accidentally right. The real threat is coming from within the US. To see it, though, Trump just needs to look in a mirror or look at the people attending his rallies.

xkforce ,

The party of “patriotism” everyone. This is their guy… the same guy whose defense for trying to overthrow the government and install himself as dictator is “I never said I swore an oath to uphold the constitution”

Blackbeard ,
@Blackbeard@lemmy.world avatar

Not just that, but the ones for whom the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution are the beginning, middle, and end of their entire personal identity. They have a section of the Constitution tatooed on their fucking bodies, and they still support a man who would just as soon use the damned thing as toilet paper.

Gork ,

The Second Amendment is so awkwardly worded. You can tell it was initially drafted, then the middle part of the sentence (third line on that guy’s back) added in later.

If Trump can argue the technicality that he never specifically said “support”, we can argue ths technicality that the 2nd doesn’t specifically say “guns”.

It says the right to “bear arms.” So if I want to graft a pair of cybernetically enhanced black bear arms to my body, I should have the right to do so! (As part of a well organized Bear Arm Militia, of course.)

Cocodapuf ,

“So really it’s just the right to have bare arms, sleeveless shirts are A-OK!”

jjjalljs ,

The us right wing is entirely the “there must be outgroups to bind and in groups to protect” mindset. Everything else is after the fact justification.
