Be Against Republican Fascism

Killing your own border bill, pending government shutdown, trying to surrender Ukraine to KMart Stalin…. This all seems less than wise.

[-] Ekybio@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

KMart Stalin made me laugh way to hard. Im stealing that one, thanks.

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

If only they were motivated by wisdom instead of gut feelings and fear.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It’s mostly greed. The gut feelings and fear are just for the plebs who elect them.

[-] Davel23@kbin.social 60 points 5 months ago

They had a campaign message?

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Yeah. It was "please like me"

[-] cranakis@reddthat.com 35 points 5 months ago

No it was "we hate the same people"

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I swear it was "blow trump with extra throat -lady g"

[-] goferking0 6 points 5 months ago

No it was whatever Trump said

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 55 points 5 months ago

Don't forget the failed attempt at impeaching Biden, via his son.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

And the failed attempt at impeaching the DHS director.

[-] lemmyman@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

They did fail, but then succeeded in impeachment. For no actual reason.

[-] newtraditionalists@kbin.social 39 points 5 months ago

Their message is "don't people who are different than you freak you out?!?!". Simpletons, grifters, and losers. That's all they've got left.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

It doesn't matter though, as long as they keep screaming "Libs bad" loud enough. Nothing else matters to their idiot followers.

Trump’s golden shoes have already sold out, the nation is doomed

https://www.axios.com/2024/02/18/trump-sneakers-never-surrender-launch

EDIT: Also his most recent legal obligation was 400 million and 1000 $400 pair of shoes were sold in hours, everyone keeps calling trump dumb when he’s a very real threat to democracy as we know it

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

He can be both dumb and a threat to democracy

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 5 months ago

?

Do you think that covers the debt, or...

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 23 points 5 months ago

Please clap.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 21 points 5 months ago

The gop ~~’s campaign message~~ is falling apart

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 19 points 5 months ago

Fellating an orange tinted manchild isn't much of a message.

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 17 points 5 months ago

The article:

The plan was simple: Hammer Biden on two of his greatest weaknesses—the economy, and immigration.

While inflation continues to be a voter concern, it’s been far less of an issue in the United States than in other developed countries. Biden and the Federal Reserve’s policies seem to have constrained inflation, not exacerbated it. The recession that economists predicted for years never materialized...

Instead, Democrats have made a very different political calculation. They’ve spent the last few months arguing for a crackdown at the border, trying to nullify one of the GOP’s main talking points.

“The problem that America confronts is that House Republicans had been ordered by Donald Trump not to do anything to address the challenges at the border,” Jeffries said. “That’s shameful.”

Democrats plan to blast that message—that Republicans are too busy doing Trump’s bidding to actually solve a problem—to anyone who will listen in 2024.

Blue team bad, grr

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Pay wall. Please post archive links.

Edit: https://archive.ph/ is a good way to help out.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago
[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Yup, agreed. I’d just like posters to get in the habit of putting this in their post body.

[-] snownyte@kbin.social 7 points 5 months ago

MAKE AMERICA DEGRADE AGAIN!

[-] LocoOhNo@lemmus.org 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The number of times I've had Trump supporters say something to the effect of "You just don't want to hear the truth. That's why you won't let the Nazis have a say" is exactly why they are having a hard time getting a lot of people on board with their policies. Sure, a lot of people in the South and the Midwest will be glad to go buy some new Doc Martin's and a new Hugo Boss outfit, but the question nobody seems to be asking is, "Why are the Christians so prone to jumping onto the Nazi bandwagon?"
