Mike Brock might have set himself ablaze but he's spot on. Folks who voted for Trump are gullible and fundamentally untrustworthy. They forever carry a virus embedded in their brains, a parasite.
No. Thanks.
Please remove the slur from the title, or the post will be removed.
Make em remove the useless "lmao" comment too
We're just dropping slurs for no reason now, huh?
I’m not sure it was on Reddit or somewhere else but I’ve seen it used as an indicator that you’re not a bot or ai.
Surely there's a better way to do that. The technology exists
Tbh I'm a bit confused what exactly you're referring to
Oh, it's in the title of the post, not the post itself. Took me a while to scroll all the way up.
Ahh right, yeah that's not cool
Fr. I never trust a "leftist" who throws slurs around like this.
We have no idea if that person is a leftist or not. I assume they're a troll but you never really know.
You don't have to trust them. But if you do policy that's in their actual material interest, they'll vote for you.
So voters? Sure. Politicians? Hard pass.
Like if Margorie Taylor Greene up and says she's a leftist now, then no. I'd call the easiest bullshit on that one.
But some chud who is convinced to vote for a progressive or even socialist candidate because they want healthcare? Deal.
So glad ddiiggss' reply was there. That was crucial to this conversation.
How else could we possibly know that it was funny?
The way we always do nowadays!
Saddam's body
IKR, I would have had no idea otherwise. I am still trying to figure out how to laugh at it.
lmao
Am I doing this right?
Lmao

The way this is worded sounds like Mike is saying he would accept MAGA "defectors" and wants to call out those who disagree. 🤨
really? It feels the exact opposite.
That he would fight anyone saying they should accept former MAGAts.
Interesting how it can be taken either way. Wonder what the true meaning was.
If there's maybe earlier context, like a previous argument where he's clearly stating his position, it would help.
They can get in the tent and vote D in the general all day...
The problem was neoliberals tried to court hypothetically cross over voters at the expense of the Dem voting base. That's fucking stupid and a problem. One that the voting members of the DNC rectified a year ago.
But if someone voted trump in the last three general elections and want to vote D in the next, why would anyone talk them out of it?
Let em fucking do it. Just don't listen to them when they try to guide the party.
I have no idea who either of these people are, but both of them make me immediately want to never see their names attached to anything ever again.
Thanks for the heads up, OP.
Yeah I found this Brock’s Substack😬and the first thing I read is him wanting to nuke China if they invade Taiwan.
Stop giving this guy visibility on Lemmy.
The one who came out looking better made this https://rotatingsandwiches.com/
Good fucking god. The first gif, converted to mp4, takes 660 KB instead of 8.4 MB.
Does anyone have more information about the odd sandwich with cilantro coating the outside of the sandwich but not actually in the sandwich? It almost looks like a dessert sandwich except for the cilantro part...
The file name for the image is james-beard-onion-sandwich.gif.
Looks like the filling is nothing but thick-cut slabs of onion.
Those pictures need to be links to either a recipe or an order page.
That's glorious!
Bookmarked.
he seems like the kinda guy who would unironically drop a "reddit… assemble!"
Wtf??? Cringe! Downvote army, assemble!
I'm confused. Is the goal ideological purity or helpful results?
The goal is for people to recognize what has happened in recent history and stop repeating it.
Corporate Democrats and big corporations will continue to say that the left should reach out to the center and steal those votes. They'll say that because they hate leftist policies and not because they think the strategy would actually work. But lots of people listen to them.
I believe that if Bernie had been the candidate in 2016, he would have won. I believe that there are enough American voters who actually want leftist policies out there and that a leftist candidate can win the White House. But I know that it's hard to get people to try. And that explains the predictable losses in 2016 and 2024.
I'm not sure what the context of their discussion is but I interpreted it as being sympathetic to people who realize they were duped by conservatives. But there's a big difference between whether we should accept former maga voters and whether we should compromise with fascist politicians.
Helpful results? In MY leftist politics? Nah, the goal here appears to be to win Internet points.
That lady who got all over social media who voted for Trump three times and admitted that Trump was an idiot and she was an idiot for voting for him?
That’s sufficient.
none of those people come out of that interaction looking good tbh
Yeah it feels to me that both are searching for a "aha gotcha" kind of online win so they can then turn to their respective followers and say "see? See how they are?". Neither is productive and both are examples of a kind of micro-clout chasing behavior that reduces the very real discussions about very real politics to being "gotcha's" etc.
...I hope Mike Brock is your hero for setting himself for such an epic self-own.
