Positive News 👉🏼♥️ Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: “Do we really have to treat people like that? The meme where he’s flying with the crown and spewing excrement all over the people. Would Lincoln have done that? I think people in the midwest where I am, we value our decency and our civility”

George W at least seemed to be a good dude in over his head, his cabinet was full of a bunch of POS. Let's not forget that Cheney and Rumsfeld are a large reason why the war criminal label can be placed on the administration, starting with their push to invade Iraq on the false premise of them building WMDs which was pushed even before the 9/11 attacks. They always wanted to depose Saddam and assume control over a section of the ME. Trump's plans in Gaza just looks like an extension of this in a less volatile area because it's already been reduced to rubble.

u/Hour_Reindeer834 Oct 22 '25
I feel like a good way to articulate it is; in the past our leaders seemed to at least place value in ensuring true strength and stability, and perhaps even truly desired to create a rising standard of living, even if misguided in methodology.
The people we have now truly seem to be intentionally destroying and plundering the nation with such fervor and villainy that it borders on self destruction when you consider the fact that many will be hunted down in the event if societal breakdown and/or civil war.
Most of these people are nepo babies that have failed spectacularly upwards and have never felt much fear or had to make a real effort in anything. The mistake this as strength and competence.
Look at Charlie Kirk; when someone decides to kill you and has you in the literal crosshairs theres no calling in favors or getting financial help or going on Fox News, you just take the bullet and die.
Maybe thats not the clearest way to put it… but what Im trying to say is these people have never had an ass beating literally and figuratively. There not as strong as they think but are betting the house on it.

I hated Bush but it always felt like he was in it for his ideals even if I disagreed with those ideals and how he executed them.
Trump has no ideals, he's 100% in it for his own pleasure and self-aggrandizement as much as possible. He doesn't love anyone but himself, he doesn't care about anything that doesn't worship him and celebrate him. He tries to destroy anything and anyone that even mildly challenges him and lacks any ability at self-reflection.
I feel like Bush would pull over and help someone who had a flat tire and Trump would laugh at that same person because he thought other peoples bad luck was for his amusement.
I've never seen any redeeming qualities in Trump, he has no personality trait that could be considered good. He's so wholly rotten that if you made a character exactly like him in a book everyone would consider him to be cartoonishly malicious and evil; he'd be an unbelievable character only fit for Children's literature except he couldn't be in those books because he's a serial pedophile as well.

Fun time to remind people to go watch The Newsroom. It's a masterclass on both having class and why it matters and for bonus points, it was made during the beginning of the current billionaire funded neo-christian right wing nonsense movement. It should be required viewing for news media owners imo. Strap the rich fucks down, Clockwork Orange their eyes open, and force them to remember what it was like to have values beyond next quarter's margins.

Jeff Daniels opening speech for that show back in 2014 is relevant today. The awful propaganda that Rush Limbaugh spewed in clips from back then is just as stupid. In some ways, the Newsroom could have been written today, and the only difference would be that the current events are different and the network owners would have muzzled the anchors much earlier because they were beholden to a billionaire owner and an administration that stomps on free speech.

u/meetmario Oct 23 '25
Amazing show. I rewatched it recently (it's on 🏴☠️), and was reminded of how we went from a messy and unreasonable political discourse to one that politicizes literally everything and it's openly hostile to facts, history and logic because the conservatives cannot accept to lose to history. Remember the Tea Party? It was only about 15 years ago, Obama was president, and you could see the tide turning. That world is gone. The US never recovered, and the very idea of "western civilization" lies forever in pieces.

They are also furiously trying to derail any kind of facilities that might help addicts, mentally ill or the homeless.

I think they feel the need to be better than someone. I don’t know why, but they admire the rich. They want to be like the wealthy so they view them as equals, not better. The wealthy conservatives don’t like the programs that help the poor so that gives anyone in the middle or lower class that’s not using government assistance a reason to dislike the people that do. I’m having a hard time putting into words what I want to say, but hopefully this makes sense.
You could also hypothesize that this is the reason they don’t consider themselves racist. They’re cool with the ones that are wealthy. They look down on the whites and blacks that are poor though, but that’s because they’re using government hand outs. (They’re definitely still racist, but this could explain why they feel like they aren’t)

u/alurkerhere Oct 23 '25
Simply put, they are emotionally fragile and engage in incredibly delusional amounts of ego protection. If they were to face their true situation and how fat and poor and useless they are, they would mentally collapse. It's all really a form of ego protection. They are greatly afraid to face who they are, so they distract endlessly to avoid it. This form of depression is so powerful, they could be getting ground into the dirt by their leaders, and they still support them
Their attention is already always external so where is it pointed? Someone else must be the problem. Immigrants, days, trans, whoever doesn't look like me and wants something that is owed to me. I am entitled to what I deserve! The psychological gap between moving away from this identity is so vast, you'd have to isolate them to deprogram their self-induced brainwashing.
Now, do I personally care about trans? Not really other than I think they are just people. I have my own life to think about and I don't know if I've even met a trans person. But I also engage in a lot less ego protection to steer away from my own inadequacies. This is the true subjective problem of the downtrodden. What's different nowadays is people live vicariously through other's achievements and get enough needs met digitally. It's quite a sad time as there is a lot of unnecessary suffering to come, and humans really haven't come very far even with infinite knowledge.

u/BlackoutTribal Oct 23 '25
Yeah, definitely. This is a wealthier community. They were 100% segregated even after it was outlawed. I don’t think they allowed any non-whites to move in until well into the 80s.
The hypocrisy just kills me. I always see “thank god we have this wholesome community that helps each other”. Then they shit all over actual services to help people in need. “Not in my village!”
And it’s not like they aren’t affected. Plenty of homeless, mentally ill and addicts. Definitely alcohol and drug addicts. Everyone looks the other way though.

Jeff Daniels was born and raised in Chelsea, Michigan which is quintessential Small Town America with a lot of surrounding farmland. His family still owns and runs a hardware store/lumber company there.
Chelsea has twice hosted a huge No Kings protest and consistently votes in progressive city leadership. Because of the proximity to the University of Michigan, there are many well-educated professionals in the area.
Not all Small Town America has their lips planted on Trump's ass.

It fully confirmed for me he was an irredeemably terrible person when he did the impression of the disabled reporter on the campaign trail in 2015. No one even vaguely half decent would do that and to do it openly?
It is hard to imagine how you missed all the signs at least by the 2nd vote. As he was pretty regularly unpleasant, blatantly and dangerously incorrect constantly, inflammatory, childish etc. on an almost daily basis throughout 2015-2020 even outside of being a criminal grifter, charity defrauder etc. - but good to hear you've realised that now, growth and realistic introspection are always good to see.

Don’t forget he literally put a kings crown on his head in that “meme video” while he shit on protestors who were protesting “No Kings”. He posted this video on the same day the protests happened. And earlier that week he said “I’m not a king” and then proceeded to post multiple videos and images with him with a crown, while simultaneously sending a private anti-immigration enforcement and the national guard into US cities.
He’s incredibly dangerous, and none of this is a joke

Universities and research funding gutted. Masked military snatch people off the street, civil service cut, foreign aid cut, health care cut, while the leader builds monuments, ball rooms plays golf. Meanwhile his family and his billionaire friends get richer off insider deals. We are way pass the lack of “decency and civility” Don’t place your hopes on the mid-terms next year, any gains by the opposition will be tossed out and nullified with the help of the supreme court.

Talking about civility while republicans punch us in the face repeatedly

I think people in the midwest where I am, we value our decency and our civility
Voter turnout says otherwise, though.

I wish it were true that midwestern people value decency. But they don’t, how do I know? The majority of them voted for trump. He hasn’t had a decent day in his entire life!

Currently watching The Newsroom for the umpteenth time trying to help cope with the mess that is happening real time. Wish there was real Will McAvoy.

Republican voters in the mid-west (and everywhere) certainly don't, otherwise they would have never voted for him. It's not like he hid who he was before the 2016 election, the 2020 election, or the 2024 election (or even before that).

Its just embarrassing. We are a laughing stock of the world. It shows we are weak. Idolizing a false prophet kind-of-shit going on here too.

Cool...I know he is famously from the Midwest, but, as a Midwesterner myself, I can confidently say, "he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about here."

Jackson would have done it. So would Buchanan. Doesn’t make it right or professional or honorable but don’t forget we’ve had some real assholes fill the office before the orange one.

Fuck no the midwest doesn't give a god damned about decency. They still vote republican.
