yep. clean up your mess and then we can START talking about forgiveness

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 5 points 48 minutes ago

They won't, they'll continue to vote for Republicans who enabled Trump and will continue to be surprised when the leopards feast. They were told for well over a decade that they were steering the ship towards certain doom and they laughed thinking they were smarter. Now that the truth of their idiocy is exploding in their faces, they cling to abortion and the second amendment because they have no critical thinking skills and it's easier to claim it's one bad actor than reconsidering the ethics of the party that rallied behind him.

Even the preface that she's still morally superior because of her abortion and 2A stance tells you she's too fucking dumb to change her stance.

your belief system is abhorrent to everything I believe

This guy in office however is a perfect match.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 11 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

No, they honestly just have no idea what we believe. They don't live in reality, they occasionally visit and make wild assumptions

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Steelman argument: There are just as many of them holding their noses and voting for fascists because of FPTP. They just have far fewer anti-fascist candidates against FPTP.

Fair argument: What do you call someone who only voted for Hitler because they didn't like Hindenburg? A Nazi.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't think that's really true or helpful.

These people aren't Nazis, they're just stupid. What they actually want is what we want... To be squeezed less by billionaires

Not to be confused with the actual Nazis, there are definitely actual Nazis too. But not that many of them

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 2 points 32 minutes ago

If you think all Germans in the 30's were foaming at the mouth racists, ready to pull the trigger themselves; you're mistaken. Most were like modern Republicans. People who knew they wanted things to be better and there was one guy saying he was gonna change everything and fix it all singlehandedly. Then the camps opened the wars started, the secret police arresting anybody who dissents.

The GOP is marching the country down the same exact path and the comparisons to Nazis are absolutely justified, but ineffective. If you call a Republican a Nazi it makes them feel vindicated because "I'm not putting people in gas chambers, these leftists are being overly dramatic." Falling to realize most Nazis just paid taxes and voted for the monsters until they got drafted.

To be fair, many of them don't know what they believe either.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

This right here can not be overstated.

We ought to be teaching civics every year of school, not just one year hopefully mandated by the state board of education.

Stop romanticizing it and teach what it is and how it works.

Then so so so many of the things people think they might know or believe in because of vibes that some talking head generated over the course of years would be refuted easily by common knowledge.

But then you wouldn't have a population of useful idiots, easily manipulated by distinct emotional triggers implanted from an early age.

I feel like a tinfoil hat person typing that, but I've been able to befriend a few former MAGAs and it has been insightful. They have no ideological consistency and no idea what they believe as an individual, just as a member of a group following a father figure. They're starting to learn, though.

What has been most surprising is how incredibly emotionally broken they are. Now that they're opening up, I've never met such sad, scared people before. The entire culture seems purpose built to produce people like these. The US has a lot of generational trauma to unpack if we ever want to improve.

I feel like I'm crazy as this was one of the people exposed as a Russian plant when Twitter briefly showed where you posted from. Why does anyone care what a foreign agent thinks about their country? The account is designed to destabilize the country and sow confusion. Bravo, it worked, and here everyone is still falling for the BS?! WTF!

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

.......clearly not everyone here was aware of her location. You literally just said it was brief. The fuck?

[–] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 39 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Because the account is probably trying get people to forget it's a Russian plant by seeming remorseful and 'real'. In a few months I'm sure it'll be wielding it's influence over the thousands of followers in a nice Russian propaganda way

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 hours ago

Or because Russia's intelligence is already on the next step of its plan, where it destabilizes Trump in favor of another fascist, inducing even more chaos as internal fights erupt in the GOP's ranks.

[–] not_me@piefed.social 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)
[–] fishy@lemmy.today 1 points 29 minutes ago (1 children)

No it's not. Dumbass is still saying she's morally superior and it's one shitbag, like the whole party isn't rotten to the core.

[–] not_me@piefed.social 1 points 25 minutes ago* (last edited 24 minutes ago)

Its a start ....of the end

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, those eyes aren’t opened. That motherfucker will vote Republic卐n again.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (7 children)

Says a lot about America that she couldn't just say "she was wrong". She first had to attack the people she doesn't agree with. This image encapsulates just how broken the US is.

"I'm still a pile of rain soaked garbage with a dollop of feces on top. I'll still vote like the bigot I am. I'm sorry though."

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Go masturbate that tiny putrid brain somewhere else.

[–] slappyfuck@lemmy.ca 37 points 6 hours ago (6 children)

I don’t think that this fits here. This is someone saying they’re sorry that they didn’t listen, not someone saying how could this happen.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.zip 45 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

While also still saying they hate just about everything there is about you. This isn't an apology it's an attempt to reclaim some moral dignity.

They will do it again.
