May I point out that the bitch voted for the BBB she's outraged at the effects of?

I'll say it again: SHE MADE THIS HAPPEN!

She's such a naked, in-your-face turncoat. She has zero shame. Yet somehow the moron MAGAts who voted for her the first time will probably vote for her again, instead of rightfully trying to lynch her for what she did in Congress.

Never forget that she is a fascist and advocating for her specific type of fascism. There is nothing progressive about her or her call to action.

there progressive part is too get our asses together and do something while the right is breaking due to it's own bs.

if there's ever a time for progressive action, it's now

Grifters gonna grift, she doesn't mean any of this, she's just saying words

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a direct call to action though, not just words. Let's hope enough MAGA'ts follow suit.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

They are just words, though. She doesn't actually believe in anything she's saying... she's just another neonazi grifter trying to cling onto relevancy and shouting vitriol into the air to see what sticks.

I'm not so sure about that. I think she's a genuine moron and a true believer in her insane, abhorrent worldview. Her recent break with Trump wasn't because she saw the political winds shifting; it's because she's legitimately so slow on the uptake that she just now figured out he's been lying about the pedo conspiracy and whatnot.

True but civil disobidience is still good to fight Trump . Let use her as a useful idiot

If a Nazi sits down at a table with 9 people at it and no one leaves, there are 10 Nazis at the table.

Don't you want nazis to fight each other so they self destroy?

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I see what you're saying, but I think you're missing what I am.

Posting her message here like it's something progressive, like her goals align with any progressive goal, is a foolish, myopic action.

She is a fascist and a bigot and her messaging doesn't belong in a progressive community.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I don't disagree with you. We can share her stuffs while acknowledging she is not a good person

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Jan6 was just words too in that vein

[–] the_abecedarian@piefed.social 7 points 3 months ago

there is nothing radical about her America first politics, even if she steals some left-sounding messaging

[–] WallsToTheBalls@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 months ago

Interesting

I’ve been seeing similar rhetoric pop up in leftist circles as well, mostly about filing exempt and not having taxes withheld throughout the year

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

socialism is only for the military

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Both sides bad, Perjury Traitor Greed says so.
