Helen told the Post that President Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him since her husband 'was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.'
But she added that she does not hold the current president responsible for what happened to her family.
'I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden,' she said. 'I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump, that’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill-will towards Biden.'
Let's see:
Decides who to ignore calls from based on her husband's wishes
Claims to not be involved in politics, yet supports a certain candidate
Yep, that's a garden-variety republican.
The important takeaway here is that Biden made an effort to reach out.
Ok my respect is quickly dropping for these buffoons caught in the crossfire. But it's like interviewing an attendee from a nazi rally, what should I expect? Critical thinking? Morals? Hah!
"devout Republican" haha... They're a religious cult.
It's a little more complicated for me considering my family once was Republican during Bush's first term. Rural, Appalachian, Pennsylvanian. I know some of these people most likely. Dumb people who know no better. Manipulated by rich interests. Feeling many pressures no doubt but too uninformed to point the finger at the right problem.
They Thought Were Free is a great book that explores this ignorance endemic in the Third Reich.
Ok, I get that you have a strong desire to humanize them. But humanizing someone doesn't mean you automatically respect them, other than affording them the basic level you'd give any other semi-sentient being. What is there to respect in people who cheer on an addlepated, narcissistic, fascist manbaby?
Yeah I'll admit respect probably wasn't the best choice for words, but as a father I respected his shielding his family from bullets, which is probably what led to use of that word.
“The President of the United States of America called me, and my turd of a husband told him to fuck off. Oh, but I don’t get involved in politics…“
Yeah, right lady. Your son just tried to assassinate someone running for president, your husband just basically told the current president to go fuck himself, and you say nothing. You don’t think that’s taking a position? Fuck you.
Edit: so it wasn’t the shooter’s mother. Explain how that changes anything.
Your original point is a straw man fallacy, and thus deserves no response. Get your facts straight before you give us any more of this vitriolic attitude please.
He has made others. MANY others that are equally as dumb. You’ll have to check the mod logs to see them- as they’ve been removed because they’re just that fucking stupid.
So you have time to make up shit about illegal immigrant mass murders but you can't respond to my receipts of the Heritage Foundation call to hatred when you first got on the Lemmy bloc? Lemmy dont forget anything but meme reposts, son. Where's them links on those illegal immigrant murder victims not getting a call from Biden? I want them.
Garbage, Trump talks to victims families all the time, recently the families of those killed by illegal immigrants, unlike Biden who hasn't spoken to any of them
