It really is hard to put Republican assholery on a scale of "worst in our lifetime".

GWB got us in multiple multiple decade long wars.

Mitt Romney or Dick Cheney might have turned the great recession into another great depression.

Trump nearly got us into another full blown recession, got rid of Roe V Wade, tried to overturn Democracy, and nearly got us into a war with Iran.

Trump this time around will try to overturn Democracy again, might bring back the full blown recession we almost had, will let Russia steamroll Ukraine, will support Israel harder than any US president, etc. etc.

But it's fearmongering, and you AREN'T going to scare THESE ubermensch with your dastardly threats of "Literally what the opposition has promised to do"! That's what WEAK people fall for.

Or something like that.

audiomodder ,

Oh, I completely agree. Republicans have consistently gotten worse. At the same time, so has literally every Democrat since Carter. Every Democratic president since Clinton has moved to the right. For example: Obamacare? More like exactly what Reagan proposed to “fix” the insurance industry. And people forget that Biden was the “moderate” to pull that crazy “leftist Obama” back towards the “center”. And now Biden is called a crazy leftist. So now we have 2 right-wing choices. One that thinks capitalism fixes everything, supports genocide because it’s profitable, and says “but we like queer people (as long as they have money and don’t ask for anything)”. The other is a literal fascist. The fact is that either party is good for big business and bad for everyone else.

GhostTheToast ,

It's a bit reductionist to boil Obama down to the shit implementation of Obamacare that the GOP killed in the womb. I encourage you to read on it. TL;DR, it was gonna be pretty good, but the GOP threw a fit that it was going to be a win for Dems and tanked it. You're also leaving out the fact that Obama expanded gay rights and got talking about climate change on a policy level. Should both of those things happened sooner? Yes, but that's letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Biden isn't amazing and honestly, I don't care for him much. However, I doubt he letting the genocide in Gaza happen for profits. With the Dem's own party, Israel is a divisive issue and I'm sure he's having to tread carefully so it doesn't shoot in the foot later because politicians are scummy petty people

The ACA that wasn’t all it could have been was STILL a huge improvement and completely moved the battle lines on healthcare.

Xanis ,

I saaaay we stop being nice and start working together. These two things are the big problems of the left.

madcaesar ,

You forgot the grandfather of assholery, Ronald Regan. 90 % of the fuckery today can be linked back to that piece of shit.

nilloc ,

It goes back before that, when Boothe killed Lincoln and reconstruction failed and we let the south keep southing it got fucked.

Nixon recognized it and used it to get elected, and Reagan got the economy fucking us, and Bush 2 profited from starting wars on surpluses from the previous administration. Then trump wasted Obama’s hard work on the economy with tax cuts and shit handling of a pandemic.

iopq ,

Mitt Romney would not have let Russia invade Ukraine. He's been a staunch enemy of Putin's aggression.

It would have been simple. Put US troops on the border in the hundreds of thousands. Russia doesn't invade.

Very cool how accelerationist leftists deliberately misunderstand the points being made and paint those who disagree with them slightly as being pro-genocide.

Very cool and not bad faith at allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

GOP: "Illegal Immigrants are taking all our jobs."
also
GOP: "Illegal Immigrants are bleeding our welfare system dry."

Classic tactic of fascists: Their enemies (read: scapegoats) are simultaneously weak and strong.

They don't think the president has immunity.
They think one specific former president has immunity.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

No, they dont think Trump has immunity, they just want SCOTUS to deliberate on that question to delay Trumps case.

somethingsnappy ,

You could have stooped at "they don't think."

deaf_fish ,

Are you taking about republican politicians or the voters?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Both?

deaf_fish ,

I think your statement is a little too general. I suspect many would be interested in a dictator president Trump. Even if it is irrational.

phoneymouse , to Political Memes in The anti anti-fascist

They had to give it a new name “antifa” in order to obscure who the bad guys truly are.

Why, you checkin' out my history?

You sound like you're 12

If you're going to troll, the bare minimum requirement is humour. That way your mummy can print out your comments and stick them to the fridge

CasualPenguin ,

I imagine they did it to save others the work of determining whether your comment meant you are ignorant or intentionally just a fool.

Valmond ,

Love crushing fascists!

JimSamtanko ,

Dude… if you’re going to make an alt account- it’s best to go with a different name than the one you usually troll with.

Melkath ,

Why, you checkin' out my history?

Developing a crush?

Its not an alt. As you point out, it has the same fucking name.

Ernest is sick. Kbin.social is struggling. I am also using Kbin.earth.

"lemm.ee".

JimSamtanko ,

I’m sure it’s for nothing to do with ban evasion, and yeah. I checked out your history. It’s always good to see if the ignorance is a trend, or just a one-off bad day sort of thing.

Amazing so scared you are of the consequences for your posts. So odd you are willing to lie so much for a cause you are obviously so ashamed of.

    norimee ,

    This does not explain the baphomet - black metal nazi connection?

    And from the rest (flags, t-shirt...) it doesn't really point to either of these organisations.

    Jarix ,

    Cant speak to the black metal nazi connection, i just noticed more than a few people speak about a connection to that symbol and satanism.

    And i had knowledge of the satanic temple and the church of satan being very different organizations despite any connection between them, but that its the satanic temple that is openly associated with it. Its very confused so i was only trying to provide context for the comment sections comments to help inform and avoid misunderstandings

    Not of a fan of the dressing, but crumbled on a salad, or as a wing dipping sauce flavor I approve.

    As a member of TST, anyone anti-LGBTQ is not TST. There's no gatekeeper or reviews, so this dbag might think he's a Satanist, but his views are not in line with TST.

    Jarix ,

    Right absolutely. I was only trying to help people understand TST is not CoS. Which seemed to be happening in comments.
