    Notice how liberals never explain WHY he’s stupid, just that he is because…vibes???

    Of course the reason they self censor is because half of their elite liberal cohort actually agree with half or more of Trump’s fascist policies

      Not real sure why anyone would think they had to? I haven’t listened to RFK but even if Trump was smart at one point (and I guess he might’ve been, but just always brash & vulgar?) he is obviously senile, impulsive and emotionally driven to the point of childishness. Elon is undistilled internet talking out of his ass, believes his own hype and has an even chance of being stoned out of his mind.

        Liberals don’t actually care about senility, impulsiveness or emotionally driven childishness

        Otherwise they wouldn’t have supported Biden or a dozen other high ranking democrats who fit that description

        No, what liberals care about is signaling compliance with the cultural and political bipartisan elite of the United States; policies don’t matter to them, fascism is simply an abstract word and their revulsion to Trump’s crassness is only born about because he wields it against other elites as supposed to simply targeting the poors

            Because if they ever bring up concrete policies they oppose, they violate the principle of compliance, the American liberal meta is still primarily geared toward bipartisanship and left-punching

            Any liberal who articulates a coherent critique is immediately placed under the “troublemaker” and “woke” category, which is a non-starter for mainstream liberalism, in their eyes all critique of Trump has to be unbounded, vague, and preapproved by the institutions these people worship and cannot clash with the military industrial complex in any way

            Trump’s domestic expression of Nazism gives way to “Russiagate”, his racist rants are somehow converted into a generalized “decorum” debate and his foreign Policy is either ignored, praised, or condemned for “not going far enough”…these de-fanged translations are what liberals are referring to when they call him stupid

            But even that tepid reformulated nonsense is still too far for many liberals, the short answer is they don’t talk about what makes him stupid for the simple reason that it makes politics “real” and brings it outside the cultural mindspace these people inhabit, astonishingly to countless liberals “real politics” reads as “try hard”
