Same people who looked you dead in the face and said, “It’s government overreach to require masks!” BTW

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

In all fairness they only understood 4 of the 10 words they repeated.

Oh look. They did another fascism.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 47 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But I was told we were overreacting when we said Trump was a fascist and would do fascism.

[–] skvlp@feddit.nl 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but it’s not like the fascists had their plan written down in a todo list or anything. Like a project or something. Scheduled for 2025 maybe.

And it's not like they'd have some completely out of ~~left-field~~ right-field pick for some higher ranking position to write the forward to said book....

[–] Nonprophet@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Still, I'm begrudgingly impressed that someone working directly for Hegseth has the technical wherewithal to put together a database.

It'll turn out to be an Excel spreadsheet with no formatting rules.

Meanwhile, when I ask my mother her opinion about this: "but Hunter Biden made so many corrupt deals and he was doing crack!"

[–] AfterlifeAdventures@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Kushner would be my reply as I called the old folks homes

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 days ago

Trump jr definitely fits the bill too.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Yeah, whoever voted for that hunter guy must have been an idiot

I respect that he pays sex-workers for sex and doesn’t offer them gigs on TV shows that he never intends to deliver on in order to score a freebie by cornering a woman in a hotel room. Rape by another name in my opinion.

[–] WhyDoYouThinkThat@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

your ramble suggests trump's crimes are Hunter's, just fyi

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

How? I specifically say I like that he doesn’t do those things. I didn’t say Trump’s name because his scumminess proceeds him. There’s literally no one as disgusting as Trump and the fact they go after a person who does something as pedestrian as pay a sex-worker when they back the best friend Epstein ever had just makes me draw the comparison. I worded it that way to draw the direct comparison, so I’m okay with it being a little ambiguous (though pretty clear imho).

MTG was obsessed with his dong.

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Most sane MTG obsession.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

He didn’t.

Isn't it pretty easy in the US?

For some reason people need to register with their government what their political affiliation is. Not sure if any other country in the world does this but it's stupid as fuck for every reason.

[–] deaconblackhorse@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (4 children)

You don't need to register your political affiliation in the us. You can register as independent. As far as i know it just dictates what ballot you'll get (which is silly)

[–] Kyrias@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That's still registering your political affiliation with the government.

Which is still fucked up.

You have to be registered with a party to take place in that party’s rigged primaries.

[–] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

It varies based on state. In Ohio, I select the ballot I want for primaries when I go to vote despite not being registered for any political party.

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 points 2 days ago

Who wants to bet we'll see attempts to nullify votes that don't fit the declared affiliation before the next elections are over?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Not all states collect political affiliations, but in any case, you don't have to register a party. I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I can't vote in primaries, but neither party can count on my vote, and they have to earn it every election.

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Yea it never made any sense to me

[–] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

State of Michigan gives primary ballots with both major parties and tells you to only fill out one of the sides. Meaning your affiliation is not registered with the state.

[–] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 2 points 2 days ago

Only some states do that. Mine doesn't

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Late night ICE visits aren't far off.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The US doesn't already have a troll army? Every other country is doing it. With AI shitposting it's never been easier.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

My political affiliation is try, convict, and execute every politician, except maybe a couple dozen. With due process. Pretty sure I can say that still.

Poison their data? Everyone change their political affiliation to NPA. Then vote however you want.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Many states have closed primaries

Yep. Most states already do this and have for a long time. It’s not freely accessible and searchable, but you only need to know the information of the person to find more info on the states page.

I’m a socialist liberal who thinks Donald Trump should be struck into a conscious but unable to communicate vegetative state. Ya fuck wits, register that.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I would love for him to get locked in syndrome for a few years before he dies. It would be hell on Earth for a narcissist.

I want the government to treat this epidemic of lead deficiency in our political and business class. With due process.

Is there a party for that? That is going to be popular-er as we go here. The fuck all the politicians to death party if you will. With due process.

They are, technically.

Do you have confidence the government would actually give them to the public?

It never hurts unless you try, but I suspect filling a FOIA for them will land you on the list.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org -4 points 2 days ago

Why wouldn't you track your political enemies, said the leftist.
