•• 🎀 𝐹𝒜𝒮𝒞𝐼𝒮𝑀 🎀 ••¯°•Funny how when you let conservatives have power your rights start being infringed upon.
Anyway, I wonder how Palestine is doing.
Why are you so upset over people who have no representation in government? Those with no voice. Your gleeful celebration of the disenfranchisement of others is your blue MAGA showing.
Are you a bot?
No, just stupid.
But, in a way, you're right... This wanker was programmed by a bot.
Honestly dude, I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala.... I just don't fucking understand how so many people can come to that conclusion, unless I really think about it, and then the reasons are all so sad and stupid. I swear to god the main reason, above racism, above hate, above the propaganda of the election cycle, the main reason he won over Hillary and then Kamala is that he had a TV show for many years. A lot of people over look the simple fact that in the American psyche, being on TV is validating, or at least it was when Trump was elected, before everything went upside down. People will stay in the same shitty town and keep the same toxic relatives in their lives for their wholes lives vs finding people that they actually harmonize with because they're familiar. People who grew up in shitty households find partners like their shitty parents because the shitty behavior is familiar. "Familiar" feels like family. Trump was a household name, and some people didn't even know Kamala had been swapped in half way through the election season. So they trusted Trump when he'd lie because he's familiar, but they distrusted her when she seemed to avoid a subject because she's unfamiliar and so inherently suspicious. They should have both been suspicious af, but he had a TV show and was president once before so they trusted him more.... which is very fucking stupid.
Few did. Those of us who knew that people would stay home because of it tried to warn everyone that if Harris didn't change course, she would lose. Centrists didn't want to hear any of it. They either didn't believe us or didn't care because they wanted genocide so badly that they were willing to accept trump.
And I fully expect someone to reply to this by trying to convince me to vote for her even though I did and the election is over.
Trump had a tv show ?? new shit has come to light
Nobody actually thought Trump would be better for Palestine. The ones that said they did were bots.
Are you saying bots are pointless? They may have introduced the idea to the discourse, and they certainly amplified the signal, and I believe they succeeded at incepting the idea to many people.
They didn't say bots are pointless, they said bots aren't people.
Yeah, I think you're hitting on something important. This is probably also why people living under dictatorships sometimes approve of their dictator. The devil you know.
It's called propaganda, and it sure worked. Divide and conquer.
Lot of easily manipulated assholes out there. Many of them are right here on Lemmy. Still clutching their pearls. To be fair, most didn't vote for Trump, but they didn't vote or voted for a non-starter 3rd party candidate, which is basically giving their blessing to Trump. It's proof they never really cared about Palestine. Just their own personal satisfaction. If they cared they would have done the thing that hurt Palestine the least. But they didn't.
Remember all the dipshits leading up to the 2016 election saying "he'll run it like his businesses" because they were totally unaware how many businesses he'd driven into the ground and how many bankruptcies he'd had? Yeah, lot of stupids out there.
His image as a "good businessman" is unshakable because of The Apprentice, where he played a good businessman on TV.
Oof. Cringey mod censorship.
What is this, Reddit?
Honestly, the "Be excellent to each other" rule is just asking to be abused by selective enforcement.
Just like on reddit, where "be civil" means "don't sass the nazis."
Except Holocaust Harris would've lost even if she received literally every single third-party vote, even including Libertarians who usually swing right.
But when have basic facts like elementary-level math ever stopped Blue MAGA?
EDIT: Downvotes also don't change basic math 🕴🏻
Basic math or not, you failed to respond to the actual claim and thus failed basic logic yourself. It wasn't just third party votes, the poster also included those that stayed home because of this profoundly bad idea that not voting for Harris would lead to anything good.
Voting for Harris also would not have lead to anything good
Found one of the idiots.
Hey chode. Do you think that all these 3rd party voting dipshits knew their pointless 3rd party vote wouldn't end up making the difference when they did it?
Of couse not. Because they don't possess a fucking time machine.
So do you think it's a valid excuse, AFTER THE FACT, to say they're exonnerated of their incredibly stupid decision because, as luck would have it, it ended up not making the difference?
That's like saying someone who shot someone else should get off the hook because it ended up not killing them and they'll make a recovery. It's a stupid fucking thing to say and your parents would be ashamed if they knew their child lacked any and all critical thinking skills.
P.S. Anyone that utters the term "blue MAGA" should be shunned and forgotten by society. Go fuck yourself.
didnt read that
You couldn't because of mod censorship.
Looks like Reddit mods also get banned then come here to satiate their superiority complex.
Must have hit a nerve with a 3rd party spite voter. Sorry, not sorry.
Why would you, you're not here for a discussion. You replied in a chain with similarly long comments, did you even read those?
Nope. Don't need to have a greater context to state basic math.
