They're aligned with Putin in the fascism. That's why they like him.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Too many liberals desperately want to believe the GOP wasn't already like this dating back to Eisenhower.

They want to believe in a loyal opposition, because it's easier to justify bipartisan compromise when your counterpart isn't a frothing lunatic.

I saw this yesterday at a kids soccer game:

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 58 points 2 months ago

Comedian Bill Engvall once suggested stupid people wear signs so you'd know not to get into a conversation with them. Here's your sign!

Reminds me of the tweet that a younger veteran wrote. He said he was out shopping while wearing something indicating his vet status, and he was approached by an old man in a MAGA hat. It went like this apparently:

Old man: Thank you for your service!

Vet: Get fucked, traitor.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That's beautiful. Sincere thanks for that guy's service in saying that.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Get fucked (by somebody hot), citizen.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Joke's on Engvall. Put on a dunce cap and you'll attract people like a fucking magnet.

i wonder what their younger selves would think if you showed them this pic 10 years ago.

edit: found this interesting chart from vox around when this rally happened...

I imagine that people like this have always felt this way to some degree. Maybe because it was a different time back then, or maybe because they were younger (and thus more concerned with peer pressure), they were silent. Now they feel emboldened; for whatever reason. It’s like Pandora’s box: it’s been opened, and even if you close it, it’s too late. It’s out there now.

I have one reason: An orange conman/felon.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

im not that sure. of course they were probably never friendly with democrats but russia was not far removed from literal communism for most of these guys’ lives.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Which is just crazy, because Russia was enemy number one for most of these people's lives.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Isn’t this from a town hall in like 2016? Eight years ago if so. They’d still be into it, think it’s a great shirt and whip out their credit cards.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

looks like 2018. but I really don't think the republican-Russian love affair was a thing any time before 2016.

[-] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

What the absolute fuck

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Yep, they are the "normal" ones.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 months ago

Ngl this just looks like two old buddies who need an excuse to feel less lonely and part of a community.

It just sucks that the only community they have is a fascist incubator.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

If you're up to date with The Boys, Firestarter (Firecracker? The lady who cozies up to Homelander and takes medication to lactate) says about as much.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Useful idiots

What are the odds COVID took care of that guy?

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I'd rather be ~~Russian~~ blackout drunk

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago

If you told me this was AI I would have believed you... But I know this is real.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Yes. That's why they said "I know this is real."

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

They should move to fucking Russia then

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Move back, you mean. Look at them...those are two Russian faces. Ain't no way they aren't Kremlin plants.

[-] ApexHunter@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

These are exactly the faces you would expect to see wearing those shirts.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Not a person of color to be seen. Shocking.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

There's always Clarence Thomas

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah I also assume if Trump wins, Mark Robinson will somehow be installed on SCOTUS. It just makes sense, it's the obvious move.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

One here though. They're out there, offering their faces to the leopards.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, and there's a black nazi in North Carolina. The exceptions kind of prove the rule in this case.

[-] nick@midwest.social 11 points 2 months ago

Looks like white trash to me.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Sooo…I guess they stopped using “commie” as an insult now?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Do you think they know what communism actually is? In their mind it's whatever the Democrats are doing.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 months ago

You misspelled feces.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

i don't think those two in particular look like cult. IMHO they look like edgy trouble makers trying to stir some shit and enjoy the drama. i think they would switch sides the minute they can cause more havoc with the other side, unlike loyal cult members.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Punch them in their dumb pompous faces.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hate and the stink of too much fatty food is what I see.
