maybe im a sNoWfLaKe but i keep seeing libs throw “unelected african illegal immigrant” around regarding musk, thinking they’re “throwing it back at” conservatives or somehow proving them as hypocrites, as if conservatives even give a shit about their blatant hypocrisy. but to me it just reads like libs who have always wanted to say shit like that about immigrants but kept it in due to fear of social repercussions, and now they get to let loose on leon kums, kind of the same way they misgender caitlyn jenner, like “see THIS is how your fellow republicans talk about trans people”, as if jenner is ever gonna read their reddit post

Anyone grossed out by libs [...]?

Say less.

Anyway ya everything everyone else said.

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They are trying to use RW logic and buzzwords to get them to abandon Musk but these people don’t have issues with “Africans”(as in anyone born in Africa) or “immigrants” these words just mean “not white”.

So it goes with Liberals doing “hypocrisy gotchas” on the GOP. All they do is reify and entrench rightwing logic

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Liberals are bad people, that's all. They're always looking for excuses to be bigoted assholes, and they think they've found their excuse because they didn't get the election they wanted.

I genuinely hope these fucks never win an election again, but sadly they probably will. This country is entirely fucked so long as the democrats are presented as the only alternative.

[–] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

well yeah its racist as fuck. Blue and red MAGA all i gotta say

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

Same guys who were hoping trump clears out gaza because they didn't get their way.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

Extremely…

I know what they are trying to do, but still really icked out by it. Rightfully so because it’s an icky thing to say even ironically.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Libs are always looking for excuses to be racist sexist homophobic ablest and otherwise. They really want to be allowed to so when they find an opportunity that lets them feel like it's morally okay to be a reactionary shitbag you know they're gonna

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The "What are we a bunch of Asians" tweet is another very important tweet right alongside the Leopards ate my face tweet.

[–] yoink@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (3 children)

the truth is that most libs genuinely do believe the right wing "they're just saying what everyone's thinking", they just add "but youre not supposed to say that"

absolutely no work done to remove brainworms

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

Hence the saying scratch a Liberal and a Fascist bleeds. They were always a fascist underneath with a nice Liberal coating to cover it up for politeness sake

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Using the phrase “…said the quiet part out loud” is kind of telling on yourself a bit.

[–] restless@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

I think it's useful in describing part of the dynamics with rhetorical dogwhistles, but it absolutely telling on oneself if one's only issue with bigoted language is that they didn't use the euphemism version.

[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Skr8 up. I had a friend who couldn't comprehend that I wasn't agreeing with some racist sentiment about immigrants and thought I was just virtue signaling

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same with "convicted felon" with Trump, in USA, of all places

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

facts. now im waiting for them to connect the dots that you “can’t spell felon without elon”

they’re gonna have a field day with that one

[–] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

you probably summoned it into existence sorry

[–] AnExcellentSteelHorse@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Already seen this bumper sticker: "F ELON and the FELON" sorry

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

that was my car

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

I hope it was on a Tesla, right next to the sticker that defends them owning a Tesla.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They only seem capable of falling back into xenophobia. They want to be brave Bush-era "patriot" republicans so fucking badly. They'll be calling Elon a communist in no time (they are already starting with the "he's an agent of the SeeeeSeeeePeeee")

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

you’re totally right lol. i constantly see them going on about “elons ties to the chinese communist party”

china isn’t even allowed to sell cars in america because elon needs a handout and can’t handle competition from actual competent manufacturers, yet libs think he’s in cahoots with china

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

Thinking beyond a soundbite or gripping headline isn’t a liberals strength

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They seem to forget that the reason they started all the "Seeseepee" stuff was because if they just said "the Chinese" it sounds racist and if they say "China" it undercuts their support of Taiwan being also-china.

So now they're actually starting to believe ties to China are unironically ties to the party. Which is slightly true in that it is the ruling party and the party and the government is heavily linked. But that isn't what they are envisioning when they say it and it isn't what people envision when they hear it.

An astounding failure of accuracy in communication on display. The brain worms have brain worms.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Of course, it's the same thing liberals always do, feign support and then take it away when convenient.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Libs are just as phobic as right wingers (redundant I know) but the only difference is libs are obsessed with optics. Libs never have a problem with the reality of oppression, they just don't like the aesthetics. Just look at how ready they are to be homophobic to own Putin, trump, etc (it's because he's the homophobic one I swear!). Or jumping on calling Russians Orcs (not in a racist way though, it's comparing them to lotr bad guys! (don't read how Tolkien describes them in his private letters!)). They have no problem with being racist/homophobic/bigots, they just need an "acceptable" target.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it's just like how they all got the same script during the election and were all calling Trump a FELON as if that was even close to the worst thing about him

[–] starkillerfish@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago
[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

They've been in the lab for years now trying to formulate a second joke beyond "haha gay sex" and the best they could come up with is just plain racism. Shit is unbearable.

[–] philluminati@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least they aren’t saying W*****

replace the 'n' in the n-word with a 'w'

and feel yourself forcibly transported back to 2001

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago

It was only ever white people calling each other that too

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you made me remember that republican local politician who argued that since White is a color, then he should count as a person of color. Legit one of the weirdest attempts at identity politics I have ever seen.
