    So we’ve moved from that didn’t happen to it wasn’t that bad to it’s not a big deal, to it’s not my fault all in like 24 hours.

    Love this speedrunning he’s doing.

            Yeah like wait a minute, hold up. How the heck do you define conservative to come to that conclusion? I mean unless you’ve so radicalized yourself that everyone that disagrees with you, you perceive as whatever boogyman you’ve created.

              Yeah even from the “conservatives are a form of liberal” perspective that doesn’t make sense. Even from the “lemmygrad/Hexbear are psyops” perspective it doesn’t make sense, that means they’re not American.

                Heh yeah. They’re both offshoot of economic-liberalism for all its faults. But outside of that differ significantly. Maybe they’re from the Netherlands/Finland etc labeling by local standards? Though even that’s a stretch.

            There’s an accusation that .ml and such are run out of a Russian/Chinese basement and are trying to get possible Dem votes to abstain but that still means they aren’t American. I think they’re very confused about what people mean when people say the “Stop Supporting a Genocide” crowd wants Harris to lose.

              It’s probably a mix of Americans and paid foreign trolls. If it was legal in Utah, I’d wager that some of the paid trolls are modding some of their big communities.

              Of course, the same could be said of all the big Lemmy instances. As it grows, more and more bad faith actors will get involved.

        She was a woman who dared to question whether a man who believed that he was absolutely entitled to do so about breaking federal law and military policy that he had been told he was not to break in support of the Glorious Leader. She was clearly hysterical.

          When I learned it was a woman I immediately felt sick. The amount of sexism from these people is disgusting. Once you think about the history of women being “hysterical” and how it was “treated”, it even gets more disturbing. I wonder if they would lobotomize her if given half the chance.

            My first thought was, “What the actual fuck?!?” then I found out it was a woman and thought, “Oh! That completely explains EVERYTHING!” This is some peak, bare toothed Handmaid’s Tale level condescension and should serve as a warning to every single citizen of the United States that your country is literally on the brink of becoming a nuclear armed Christian Taliban caliphate.

        It has been a response for entitled rich white people for centuries. People already here? I claim this land for England because I feel you are a savage, never mind your advance farming, irrigation, astronomy, etc.

          Worse than that - we’re going to steal your advanced farming, irrigation and astronomy, claim it as our own, then enslave you to work on these same farms with all the human rights afforded to an ox.

          Historically speaking, white people - and I say this as one of them myself - have gone through and really extra fucked up the entire lives of basically anyone we ever met including all other white people. On behalf of white people across all of time and space - I’m really sorry, bro, that shit was super fucked up. Some of us are working to try and make that better. Unfortunately some others of us are still working to make that worse.

        Journalists do occasionally, but it usually gets buried real fast since the “liberal media” wants him to appear not totally unhinged for reasons like being “unbiased” and maintaining a friendly relationship with billionaires.

      Something should haunt him. without ignoring everything else, Donny’s opponents should hammer on one thing, maybe this, until he apologizes and fires people involved.

        There already is, he’s single handedly responsible for more Covid deaths than were necessary because of the way he handled things. On top of it, he gave asinine statements about injecting bleach or whatever. His incompetence in running the admin while president is the single most damning thing that should keep him from a second chance.

    Biden got called out for rambling all the time (and it was pretty fair, to be honest). Why are Trump’s ramblings and non sequiturs not equally highlighted? The guy speaks like he’s reading a scrabble board.
