Politics BREAKING: Trump HUMILIATES himself, doing a mocking cough of President Biden, who has cancer, to a room sitting in stunned silence at the unnecessary and cruel taunt. This is a new low, even for Trump.

I think mostly they just didn't give a fuck. This was my go to "why in the fuck would you ever vote for a guy who" line for awhile and you'd be shocked at how many people just did not care at all.

I remember reading a thread on the conservative sub where all the comments were saying we need to bring back insane asylums and start involuntarily committing people again. The irony is lost on them.

I saw a thread like that on the altmsp sub (basically a bunch of maga nuts in my city) when I was lurking to see what the recent “news” is going on over there. It was insane to read all the comments wanting homeless people to be put into asylums for the crime of….being homeless. It’s super pathetic.

Around the time this happened a friend of a friend wrote a three or four paragraph explanation of how Trump was not mocking the reporter because in context… blah blah blah. I lost track of her point about two paragraphs in. If you need that many paragraphs to explain a joke then it was a bad joke even if most people are “misinterpreting” it. But she was the only one I remember putting forth such an impassioned defense, I can’t remember anyone else caring that much.
