I'm glad my fellow citizens saw through the bs and overrode my vote to keep us happy and safe.

Disclaimer: I might have voted for him because lesser of, but fuck Biden and his ineffective admin. Hey libs: the orange man would have been in jail in a competently run country. Fucking travesty.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

No he would not. He would be ina maximum security federal or military prison, not jail. He didn't rob liquor stores.

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

No, he would probably be out of the country.

The premise is "in a competently run country"

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 55 minutes ago

Not perfect, but Id accept that over gestures around

In case you didn’t know who Presler was, he’s just another conservative sycophant.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 27 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

I can't believe anyone actually bought that shit.

Have you visited or had interactions with people from .ml or hexbear?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

.ml isn't pro-Trump generally even if they'd shitpost about the uniparty, it's Hexbear that's clearly being run as a psyop.

Well, on review I blocked .ml, maybe they're saying that now

Not the part about a vote for trump being a vote for peace, but they sure do & did trot out the part about biden being a warmonger.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 53 minutes ago* (last edited 52 minutes ago)

I mean, he and all Democratic leadership at that level are, but not to the same extent as the Republicans. That said, the false equivalence is either pure propaganda, or stupidity. Pretty hard to tell the difference, unfortunately.

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Oooo I have I have!

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 22 hours ago

I don't honestly think they really did. What they were sold was that the conservative leadership held the conservative individuals' best interests lined up. Last time they didn't get to execute their plan. This time no one was left to stop them.

To that point, there are proud boys and neo nazies in positions of power. They're wearing the gear and putting their slogans on things. The individuals have been told over and over that it's the non-whites that are the cause of all their problems and they're still on board with ethnic cleansing. They are just now starting to get somewhat disillusioned that things aren't actually getting better for them even though the playbooks are being run.

The part about Biden is true enough. Republicans and Democrats are largely in agreement about the dismantling of the middle class and expansion of the empire. Democrats just want an orderly transition while Republicans want to burn it all down as fast as possible.

According to MAGA, no war has yet occurred, only brief strikes & conflicts that quickly ended without declaration of war, which is technically true. This is how they rationalize it so far.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Russia is technically not at war with Ukraine as they have not officially declared it.

4 years later...

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

It's always some weird technicality to say it's not a war

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

For whatever reason this kind of campaign tactic had zero effective counter amongst the general electorate. This messaging won. Refuting it was left to the internet forums.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

It’s because social media is toxic.

Look at the view counts below conservative posts. That is why there is no counter; the game is rigged.

How can you refuse this. It quickly turns into a "no u" situation.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 7 points 22 hours ago

by design! turns out if you just project hard enough, the only possible argument is a “no u” situation. and actually taking that position officially has been a bridge too far for any credible opposition up to now.

People are just too fucking dumb. Most can only rationalize that current thing bad = current leader bad = different leader better, and there's no end of grifters taking advantage of that.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 15 hours ago

sexism and racism is what they voted for, cant have a black person they made that mistake in 08 with obama, plus no women ever.

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 day ago

yeah primaries was a train wreak in slow mo. like I was telling people I did not give a crap that Kamala was chosen by Biden as a successor she's still better than trump by far. I couldn't really think of any reason from them to vote for trump

The protest non-voters fell for it. Now we get generations of destruction to hopefully heal from.

[–] worhui@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

we aren't going to live long enough to see healing.
