Summary

As election day nears, Donald Trump’s rhetoric has become increasingly unhinged, highlighted by a rally in Milwaukee where he simulated performing a lewd act on a malfunctioning microphone and threatened backstage staff over technical issues.

His actions, including racially insensitive remarks and fantasies of revenge against opponents like Liz Cheney, have left many stunned by both their content and political imprudence. Social media reactions ranged from shock to criticism of his behavior, with many comments too graphic to share.

Tom Nichols of The Atlantic remarked that Trump’s supporters avoid news sources outside their bubble to maintain plausible deniability about his mental instability, claiming they support him for policy reasons while ignoring his erratic conduct.

    The context is that Trump has had a long history of making sexual comments such as “grab them by the pussy” and comments on the size of Arnold Palmer’s penis.

    The other part of the context is that your entire Lemmy comment history is full of Trump apologia. You are the only person in this comment chain who is trying to explain away Trump’s obvious sexual innuendo as something else, when the video is right there for everyone to see. And a user named “damnedfurry” accusing someone else of being a “pornsick coomer” for calling out Trump reeks of projection.

    You must be mistaking Lemmy for Truth Social, because nobody on Lemmy is buying your garbage.
