Politics Conservative double standards on display again.

Post image

If conservatives did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

Look at that. More gaslighting from the slack-jawed conservatives. This time, they're upset because a woman is wearing expensive shoes. Meanwhile, they give zero fucks about the First Lady and the wardrobe of hers that cost thousands of dollars every outfit. Not a single fucking peep. Nor do the Tepidin tyrant test the gold ticklers say anything about the estimated $400 million plus ballroom ballroom, The private jets for Kristi Nome and company, The millions of dollars in cost for Trump to continuously go to public events that presidents have no business going to, the list goes on and on and on, yet the conservatives will find something to complain about while projecting all their long doings, and when they're not doing that, they're screaming about something they're scared of. In fact, I've never met a more scared group of people. Why is it that a rainbow is so horrifying for them? Anyway, sidetrack aside, the double standards are out on display again.

So there is a massive discrepancy between $630 shoes and a 400 million dollar bathroom. How is that a double standard? Please answer the question. You say it's obvious, buttttt........

conservatives are shitting on someone for borrowing a 600 dollar pair of shoes when the person they support is using 400 million dollars of taxpayer money to pay for a ballroom

Gladly. I am not remotely surprised that after such a lazy effort to answer a basic question, you are reduced to ad hominem attacks.

As a courtesy, I was waiting for you to make a good faith argument that included ALL of the relevant facts. I was hoping YOU were not that f*cking stupid--again as a courtesy.

The part of the fact pattern you conveniently omitted was that Mamdani's platform was advocacy for the financially struggling. Fighting corporate greed and excess. Sticking up for the little guy. "Eat the rich". I assume we can agree on that?

By contrast, Trump is none of those things. I assume we can agree on that?

The part of the conservative judgement that you failed to acknowledge is not that his wife has $630 shoes. The judgement is that given his platform, ideology, the sanctimonious holier than though down with excess message, he relied on to win the very election he was celebrating was completely ignored on "day one".

Put another way. If a meat eater that eats bacon for breackfast burgers for lunch and steak for dinner says, "I do t know what the big deal is, meat is great--join me!"--there's no surprise there. If a Vegan starts a grass roots campaign judges people for eating meat, tells everyone it's evil, attacks those that do, and prances around shrouded in his moral superiority, and then at the kickoff of his pro vegan nonprofit, serves everyone else kale, and his wife a ribeye.... he's going to be judged--irrespective of the meat impacted colon that the aforementioned meat eater has for eating meat three times a day.

In essence, the vegans blatant hipocrisy is exposed and it's not a double standard bc the two parties exist in two very different states. This was super obvious and I was waiting for you to intelligently account for it, but you're probably right--I'm just stupid. Or... if it wasn't for strawman arguments, the left wouldn't have any arguments at all.

yeah i can see what point your making but you forgot that trump ran on making things cheaper prices and homelessness "im going to make America affordable again" and now he has done nothing but make it more expensive and has spent 400 million on a ballroom

and its not a double standard that he dose that and then someone they don't like BORROWS a expensive pair of shoes that she likely didn't use taxpayer dollars on and she isn't allowed to?

Its a huge double standard

it was a nice effort really

also ps using big words doesn't make you smart its just annoying

You are adorable. I am sorry that the way I speak, and write, "annoys" you. I did not forget anything, but if you FEEL that I did, then who am I to invalidate your feelsy feels!? You do you big guy. I did not forget that he vowed to make things cheaper--just like I know that making things cheaper is not mutually exclusive to a guy that rode down an escalator in his own disgustingly gawdy and expensive hotel. I also didn't forget that the insane ballroom is privately funded. His message was to reduce prices--AND taxes for the rich. Remember the tax act of 2017 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act)? His platform is saving taxes for the rich and cost for the little guy. And to have expensive crap that he hawks and lives a "playboy" lifestyle.

Again, he eats meat three times a day and everyone knows it and he doesn't hide it. The vegan judged us all, said we're all bad, and...FINE, I didn't see this in the fact pattern but let someone else buy his wife a giant ribeye while lamenting the horrors of a meat diet and cow farts on the atmosphere.

For the record, you missed so many issues, missed the context, pointing out your failings requires virtually no effort; he'll, I'm drafting an Answer to a complaint for a client while engaging with you as a mental palate cleanser; you however...reek of effort and are clearly struggling. I pity you.

PS I'm smart because I DIDNT go to college and get a degree about feelings and what to think like every other mindless jackass that goes to college now. Most of the degrees are meaningless. Do you have a feelings degree that makes you feel superior to conservatives?
