What’s the irony?

Go on, elaborate

‘‘Well well… As predicted, Varadkar’s ‘Welfare Cheats’ campaign was really about becoming leader of Fine Gael and rehearsed the usual anti-welfare guff, grossly exaggerating the extent of welfare fraud.’’

Another enabler of the far right

That’s neither an answer or an irony

Leo? Totally agree

its actually both. youve been enabled and emboldened by the free access to social media when in the past you wouldve been sectioned for screaming racist/rapist at people as they queued in tesco to buy groceries

Varadkar went for the Grealish/Gemtrails vote by choosing Murphy as a candidate and engaging in “welfare cheats” rhetoric

Fine Gael’s problem when they engage with this sort of dog whistling is that they aren’t quite shameless enough to carry it through themselves as a party - they try to court right-wing social liberals too - in the end they only end up damaging themselves

But Murphy very definitely is shameless enough

It’s the shamelessness that wins votes

Varadkar has ironically enabled that sort of Trump-style racist bullshit yet damaged his own party

It’s hardly surprising a guy who raped a cancer victim because he had no other way of getting the ride would have a stalking fantasy :smile:

To be fair that would be fairly mild carry on for yourself

what a fucking comment, when you think you think an entity cant sink any lower…

How is Sid allowed ruin every thread he enters? There’s an addiction thread running and I believe he is being “enabled” as the term goes. For the record I still feel sorry for him rather than dislike.
