That makes sense.

They hate their fellow Americans more than they hate foreigners these days.
They truly do think the greatest evil is liberalism, empathy, and compassion. They'll back *anyone* who thinks opposite.

Uhm, those Muslims are *an ocean and a continent away.* I think this is similar with hating Jews while supporting Israel.

Yeah, I guess research into that topic showed it didn't sway conservatives.
u/WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world · 6 points
Because conservatives are fascists who want to be ruled by a king. They _want_ a dictator.

I would honestly say that *agreeing with what Erdogan is doing i Turkey, thinking that Trump should behave the same way* and *thinking that Turkish lesdership shouldn't be allowed to act in that way in another country* are entirely compatible views.
Like, I don't think Erdogan is doing good things, and I don't think America should go that way. I wouldn't want my country to go that way. But most of all I wouldn't want another country to do that in my backyard.

There have been so many offenses by this administration it's hard to keep up and retain them all, but that one day has stuck with me ever since. We got cucked at our own capital in front of the world and this orange *removed* did nothing. If nothing else right-wingers should be furious about that. It's insane.

I have no idea why this wasn't brought up during the election campaign. Seems like such a telling event that Trump stands with dictators over citizens.

Trump is a fucking cuck

I didn't need proof that Trump doesn't care about Americans, but that really should have been enough proof for everyone. They kicked a pregnant woman when she was down and used brass knuckles on peaceful protesters on American soil... not a peep from Trump

Felon Drink Bleach praising Erdogan is not surprising.
Do people remember the day that Erdogan humiliated the United States?
Following a meeting with Trump in Washington, DC, on May 16, 2017, he ordered his goons to beat up protesters. And they certainly did - with no repercussions.

The Trump administration did nothing about it.
I remember that day. And I won't forget it.

He also praised Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un and Invader Vlad. What did you expect?

I like how his base has no problem with Trump praising a Muslim. Do they even care about the racism anymore or is it all irrelevant in the face of the will of their great leader?

Dictators gotta stick together.

I still fondly remember the time where a president could be kicked out because of some oral sex with an intern.
Today, I cannot maintain a proper list of abuse or lies by the current president and his cronies, it would be a day job.

Of course he does. Dictator bros stick with Dictator Bros.
u/Hubi@feddit.org · 13 points
It's pretty impressive how consistently he picks the wrong side in every single situation.

Because of-fucking-course Felon-47 would praise him.
u/dan1101@lemm.ee · 5 points
Of course he does because he sees himself being targeted by the masses. Sooner rather than later I hope.
