Imagine looking at the secret police rounding people up and sending them to camps and thinking "Yeah, more of that please." Absolutely fucking horrifying to see that people like that exist and aren't so deeply mired in shame for being the way that they are that they're comfortable expressing those opinions aloud.

Headlines linking Black people and SNAP decrease white support for SNAP even amongst white people who use SNAP.

At a certain point, white Americans get the country they deserve. When the same trick has worked continuously since Bacon's rebellion, you all need to figure out what is wrong with your communities.

I'm actually shocked neither of them brought up queer people.

But yeah "I'm pleased with ICE", what a ghoul. Even if you support their goals, surely what they're doing can be viewed at as best a necessary evil. I certainly don't find the videos pleasant to watch at all.

What has the Trump admin done to queer people? They talk a big game, but I'm pretty sure that nonsense happens at the state level. Then again, there's been a firehose of nonsense at the fed level that I probably missed something.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

Among many other things, they're not issuing correct passports, purged queer people from the military and federal government, banned all federal research relating to queer health, banned Medicare or Medicaid from covering transition care...

I just love that fitness bro Evan and 55 year old Edna can hang out and converse over their shared hatred of brown people

[–] olenkoVD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Oh no ANTIFA, the mightiest terrorist organization on the planet very scary

If you're not supporting ANTIFA, you're FA

I find it horrific that people can say this ugly shit out loud "pleased with ICE"... how does "being happy" with dehumanizing other people make you happy ?

I need to throw up and have a long shower.

I bet if I sent this to either one of my parents, they'd be like, "yeah? me too."

I am super glad even as I came from white cis parents into a white cis town, I rolled homo and got the minority perspective because otherwise I'd be one of them. My mom really believes "democrats buy off blacks with welfare so they keep voting for them" and other such mind-bogglers I can't anymore.

[–] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Not always true, I'm white, cis, and straight born to conservative Christian parents but fell out of that line of thinking by my teenage years. A lot of it really was just learning and understanding history and politics. Making friends with black kids early on might have helped as well.

As long as you are intelligent you likely would have figured it out on your own.

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I know I was figuring it out myself even before I had any idea I was queer. This was back in 2018 or 19 when the big outrage was Ukraine aid being held hostage. It took until the second term for me to no longer be civil with anybody who did support Trump. Figuring out that I was queer just put another nail in the coffin that was already sealed shut

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This is the problem with people who don't understand social control. Welfare is not a handout from Democrats, it is a mechanism of social control the government uses.

People are so brainwashed they don't understand the issues anymore. I wonder why Fox News doesn't tell the the truth.

Linda at the bottom there "I am pleased with the extralegal concentration camps, mass deportations, and arrest/abduction of citizens who just aren't white enough. The jackbooted thugs with no legal oversight or accountability are great. But what else has he done for me lately?"

Fucking fascist ghoul

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 66 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

That was my favorite part too.

“I haven’t noticed any real difference!” What… were you expecting?

Hopefully her kids are embarrassed of her already and her legacy is “clueless dumbfuck”

The trouble is that, despite noticing that everything else is a lie, they still believe that ICE is only deporting people who 'deserve it', rather than paying any attention to the constant reports of ICE throwing people who are legally in the USA in vans and disappearing them.

"I am pleased with the results on the border."

How are these people calling themselves Christians?

Photo of migrant detention centers. Basically a cage with too many people inside

This is where unlucky asylum seekers have to stay between 2 days to more than half a year. People entering as legally.

You can't bring any items like a book inside and you can't leave except for food time in cafetaria like some prison with no yard-time. Just sit still and sleep until we process your papers in 4 months.

Ours had walls instead of cage thankfully but toilet was inside with no door. This was the conditions in 2018.

"Pleased" said the love-thy-neighbor Christian, "satisfied."

It starts with portraying Jesus as a white dude...

I missed the ANTIFA riots. I guess Evan and I don’t get our news from the same sources.

It’s amazing that this administration is so spectacularly bad that even its propaganda machine can’t hide it.

[–] zout@fedia.io 56 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Worse, the antifa riots rethoric is held against them. It looks like people start to wonder why these riots were allowed to start under the current administration.

Did you not see the dancing dinosaurs, grannies, naked cyclists, and the chicken man viciously intimidating Kristi Nome?

It’s awful out there. Truly terrifying.

These people are entirely motivated by hate. I knew that, but it's kinda wild to see them admit it like this.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey, that's not fair! They're also motivated by fear, disgust, and selfishness.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Don't forget greed, apathy, and general stupidity.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Not really trying to hide the racism anymore, are they?

I mean I've been paying attention to politics for the last 20-25 years now and I've known all along the Republican party had a racism problem, but the current boldness of it, almost flaunting of it, is still catching me by surprise.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I could have never imagined seeing the world's wealthiest man fire off two seig heils on stage at a Presidential Inauguration (with literally nothing coming of it), back during GWB's administration.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nope.

The goalposts have moved completely off the field at this point. It's clear that conservatives cannot be trusted and should never, under any circumstances, be allowed to aggregate power.

I can only hope it's all so extreme that in the long run it helps bury this traitorous party and confine them to the shitpile of history.

It’s almost as though state violence against people you have an abstract hatred of doesn’t actually help you in any way.

Notice he said that they are "losing" him, not already lost.

Still fine enough with everything so far. I'm always wondering what it would take to actually turn people like this.

Can someone link me to the ANTIFA-riots? (I don't trust Evans words for it, I'm just not a "trust me, bro"-kind of guy..)

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What are you for one moment insinuating that a conservative on Facebook might have less than reputable sources for their information?

Okay like of course this perspective is vile. I would never defend it. The people I refer to below are not the same people represented in this tweet.

But the right's justification for anti immigration makes sense to people. Its the oldest trick in the book! Artificial scarcity? Housing crisis? Employment crisis? Some of us have a rigorous class analysis that can neatly disprove these lies, part of why red scares are such a fundamental component of the right's culture war (a component many progressive liberals accept unquestioningly.)

But for the average person who doesnt think about stuff that way, the working/middle class swing voter who is simultaneously directly affected by economic and political oppression but deeply confused about the underlying causes, how do we convince them? The pendulum has flipped and Trumps policies are deeply unpopular, but what is the convincing explanation that the whole basis of their logic is flawed? How do we prove that immigrants aren't the problem?

Its like in avengers, thanos says he will kill half of all people in order to end scarcity in the universe. And none of the heroes even questions his logic. The attitude is like, he's a bad guy but it would still work. And, no it wouldn't, scarcity in advanced society is driven by class, not population. Malthus was thoroughly disproved like 150 years ago and yet this myth persists (like the myth of immigration and race-based scarcity).

Because as long as our political strategy amounts to "shame anyone who demonstrates an affective affinity with the right, and vote" we won't be able to resist the creeping threat of fascism. In 5-10 years it will be full on Nazi shit and I dont want to die in a concentration camp please and thank you

In other words, tell me you're a racist without using the word racist. Just wow...
