But the GOP fervently believes he did. They probably believe they heard him say it on TV.

Projection is their ‘tell.’

I understood it just fine, even though there was one r missing from the message, and even though it started with an uncapitalized letter. It uses metaphor.

I get what you’re saying, but I’d prefer to be optimistic and take the approach that many of them cling to fears that stem from ignorance. Ignorance can be fought, but ignorant people rarely change their mind because the people that they perceive to be their enemies mock them.

If we don’t mock them, however will they learn?

Just kidding! They are never going to learn. They will just keep believing the same garbage as their little party becomes littler and littler. And this is the best possible outcome as it will guarantee that they keep losing elections. Double down, derpers!

I do get the pleasures of shadenfraude, but I don’t we need to pretend like it’s a good idea to indulge in it. I don’t think losing an election is going to make any of them “wake up.” They’ll just take comfort in the fact that 47% of the country agreed with them and the rest are “brainwashed.”

Ahem. I can only speak for myself, but I find it highly enjoyable to watch as reality, with its known liberal bias, comes crashing down on their heads. They have been living in the echo chamber of fox noise for so long that they didn’t have a clue that what fox was peddling was complete bullshit. Maybe a bucket of cold water was what was needed.

I honestly don’t see what is so pleasurable about these photos. All the expressions of horror indicate is how deeply divided the country is. I’m the thousandth person to complain about how much the tone of political discourse has coarsened lately, but it’s true. I have a hard time feeling good about that, no matter how much I politically disagree with the Romney-mourners. I wish people would make some kind of attempt to take the high ground.

Obama didn’t run (or lead) on an agenda of marginalizing everyone who isn’t like him, so it would lose a lot of the humour…..

When Ronald Reagan was elected, I was almost 11 years-old. I was born in CA, and we lived in CA until 1974 until my parents moved us to Oregon. My grandma lived in Fairfax, she moved up here in ’75. Reagan was the CA governor from ’67 to ’75. Reagan fled the state when the Watts Riots happened and former Governor Jerry Brown had to step in to handle things.

My parents and g’ma burst out laughing when RR was elected, the same as when he gained the nomination. They were _not_ supporters of Reagan the governor or presidential candidate.

The if you can’t laugh you’ll cry thing I think. But if Romney was elected, my fam and I would not have been crying, but would have had a reaction similar to the guy in the attached pic.

Whaaaa whaaa whaaa whaaaaaaaaaaaa. (How the hell do you indicate descending tones in ascii text, anyway?) I’m quite pleased with the way the election and the votes on gay marriage and pot turned out. In fact, I think I’ll go look at the depressed rich white conservatives again, while Drunken Facebook Woman plays in the background… XD

A lot of those look like they could just as well be disappointed Cowboys fans.

Wow – Those expressions look like the night my friends and I learned Ronald Reagan was elected… Well, the shoe is on the other foot now, we survived and so will they.

Short of converting to Islam and moving to the middle east there isn’t really any place for them to go though. Seriously, everywhere is more liberal than here.

Too funny watching the Teavangelicals finally realize they are not a majority.

That they’d probably fully endorse. I mean we’re talking about people from places that have chunks of biscuits in a bowl of gravy as a breakfast option in Burger King (at least last time I traveled through there)

It’s true, the kids were more likely to be crying for being there at all. Talk about a yawnfest after the big room full of people novelty wears off (about 10 minutes.)

They were ok with a tax cut while going to war that wasn’t on the books.

They talk about Obama supporters wanting free things but I think they are projecting too much.

Can you find a black Romney supporter? That might be a MUCH shorter tumblr.
