    Wow this is just Reddits /r/politics. You’re as bad as Trump and his minions, who even gives a shit if he wears a suit, not to mention a few shades darker?

      It’s pretty much a rule for funerals: wear black clothes and if you wear a tie, use a black one, if you wear a ribbon, make it a black one

        He’s basically is wearing black. Your gonna bust someone’s balls over a small shade difference in real life too or is this a massive circlejerk?

          It’s not even dark blue. You may have some color blindness. The suit and tie are blue, not a shade of gray.

      We’re living in a fascist dictatorship. If making fun of Trump for his blue suit makes Republicans lose in the midterms that’s all that matters. Anyone who seriously believes suit color matters at a funeral is living in a state of self-inflicted misery.

          No one cares about hypocrisy enough to change their vote. Besides Obama’s tan suit didn’t matter then, Fox News needed their daily sound bite, and Trump’s blue suit doesn’t matter now, we need a sound bite today. But if anyone is being hypocritical it’s Fox for not being outraged over Trump. And of course the Republicans and MAGA do not care. It was always about having another controversy to use as a wedge against Obama to gain political power.

          Trump knows criticism of any kind is bad for him. That’s why he references the Tds, Trump derangement syndrome, in his rallies. When he runs out of things to blame Obama and Biden for he can just blame the people who don’t vote for him. He knows it keeps his base happy, makes him look good to Republican voters, and that he was never getting Democrats or leftists to vote for him. The Democrats really need to learn that last one, but about Republicans.

            Ok we won’t talk about anything that doesn’t change votes three years from now.

            I guess we won’t talk about anything.

              First, hypocrisy is not a worthwhile criteria for an idea. We should judges ideas independently of the people espousing them. People who practice what they preach can practice awful, harmful, and useless ideas and people who don’t practice what they preach can preach great, helpful, and useful ideas.

              Second, plenty of things change votes. And I guess anything, even hypocrisy might change someone’s vote on something. But it clearly didn’t with this case about the blue suit with Republicans.

              But making fun of Trump might make him seem that much less based to some of the people who casually vote for candidates and if that translates into some fractional change in votes against Republicans it will have been worth it.

      No, most of Trump’s supporters are idiots so you have to point out every miniscule little fuck up otherwise they will think that Trump is amazing.

      Yes, it’s inconsequential, but if you don’t make a fuss about it Republicans will think he is infallible.

      Not really equivalent situations. Obama wearing a tan suit wasn’t in a context that demanded a specific wardrobe.

        This. Obama can wear what color he wants at the White House and there should not be an issue, but he would be expected to follow dress code at a FUNERAL because it’s common decency.
