Here's another.
GOP in 2016 = We need Trump because the rest of the world is laughing at America.
GOP today = Who cares what the rest of the world thinks?
As a non american, the world started laughing the second the orange man baby became your president.
it was sort of a mix of funny and nervous laughter though.
wasnt pleasent
I thought the laughing stared with George W.
It probably started with Reagan, our first actor-turned-president.
(Nixon enters the chat.)
Nixon was bad, Reagan and Trump were clowns.
My favorite all time GW moments, "It looks like a hurricane came through there", and when he pulls on the door you need to push, the dumbfounded look on his face.
It's crazy to think how bad he was and he was great compared to tRump.
I remember reading an article (must have been during the Obama years) saying that for the GOP to get its act together they had to recognize what a trainwreck Bush Junior was. Yeah...
Yep and then they realized that the voting bloc they had assembled was in no way interested in any kind of redemption for the GOP or the Bush years.
I mean McCain and Romney both did fairly well with their base. What the Rs realized and Ds have yet to realize is that pandering to the center doesn't help. You have to go farther right(R-facisn) or left(D-socialism) to get people actually wanting to vote for you.
I think they did realize it. They also realized they're getting old and the younger generations aren't buying into the "trickle down" bullshit because they can't buy a house if they wanted to. Gone are the days of the man working at a factory and supporting a family with a house and two new cars. I think the current GOP is going for broke, they know if they don't win now, they are absolutely fucked. The more boomers die off, the more boomers go into nursing homes, the more fucked it all gets. The planet is in deep shit, they know it, they don't care because they'll be long gone before it effects them. Younger people and even older are beginning to realize that religion is a sham, and that too hurts the GOP. This is pretty much it for them with what they've been working on since Reagan. My hope is the brainwashed suckers snap out of it and we can actually get some republicans in office that will work with the democrats and start working on making lives better for everyone, not just the rich as fuck.

If you think it was bad on your end, you should feel what is like on the inside.
Fascism's major hallmark is fervent hypocrisy. That's how people could live within half a mile of death camps and just casually brush the ash of burnt people from their hair, then smile like they're going on a picnic as they're led into the death camps at the end of their street, then ten minutes later, after seeing actual corpses stacked like cordwood, they're vomiting and swearing they had no idea.
We can't let the uneducated masses lead us into that kind of horror again, We need to educate them of what they're advocating for and why that's so horrifically dangerous. We need to stop hedging and beating round the bush, and lay out in detail what they're actually enabling. People die when this kind of nationalistic ignorance is allowed to proliferate. We need to stop this ignorance before it kills people.
Then: "Facts don't care for feelings."
Now: "Feelings don't care for facts."
Too many of those words are spelled correctly
"MAGA never ever said that."
-- MAGA
It was actually antifa who said that, impersonating MAGA. /s
Woundful word from an old book I read discribes the way these people think well.
double-think
1984?
Big brother is watching you
It's like they've unlearned object permanence but only for holding opinions.
Oh, wait, that's just a double standard. My bad.
I like it how the oxygen sucking maggot gets fatter every year
Didn't wear a mask in 2020, either
Does it? Looks just like some artist variations ngl
Ah you clearly know my conservative friend, Brian. His Facebook posts state he still wants to lock her/him up but was rather upset his lord and savior was now a convicted felon. Logic was never his strong suit, but he’s part of the friend group of mostly liberals and knows to keep his mouth mostly shut when it with us.
I run around with a group and when the guilty verdict was rendered, oh my - the amount that started digging in surprised me. It's a group that typically doesn't delve into it and I saw that as a big plus. Now I'm not so sure what to think other than just keep my mouth shut.
3 downvotes on this, but no maga comments. Odd, usually the magas are the loudest assholes in the room. 🤔
They been a little quiet since the 34 felony convictions and his off the rails rant.
That's the benefit of trump seeing actual punishment for his crimes. His supporters won't vote for Biden, but they might feel dejected and stay home without voting. That's what trump supporters and Russian trolls are trying to do with Gaza.
Gaza and Israel has been a Christmas gift for the Russian / Right wing saboteurs
They been a little quiet since the 34 felony convictions
Some of them have.
Others have doubled down on both the volume and the insanity levels of their noise.
Do MAGAs even bother on Lemmy?
I rarely see MAGA comments here. And if I do they are downvoted to hell.
Every once in a while I'll see a maga comment, and honestly the first I think is this person has some kind of mental disability. The commets are always deranged and from an alternate reality.
They advocate for 'law and order' until it impacts someone from their own circle.
The core conservative belief is that there are two groups: those the law protects but does not bind, and those the law binds but does not protect. Everything else flows from there.
Rules for thee, not for me?
