While that may be true, I also think it’s because he feels comfortable enough to say it out loud. These people and a fanatic third of the US are that far gone.

Wow, talk about missing the point.

Allow me to blow your mind. That’s not his real hair, it’s a hat that looks like a visor + Trump’s rug. Watch the video and it becomes clear.

Please stop. This is sobering news.

Jesus freaks.

Vote suppression is a tried and true Republican tactic because low engagement and turnout favors Republicans. A nonvote is a vote for Trump. Biden needs to move aside, but I’d vote for anyone not Trump.

Is it true? My knee jerk reaction is ‘what utter racist bullshit’, but then why is Trump gaining black male voters since the beginning of the year?

I was parallel parked.

I’m sitting behind a California plate that reads “88 RISE”. Is that…?

Is it the formic acid? I bet it is.

Both China and South Africa are aligned with Iran and Russia. Who are the baddies again?

I’ve watched the video many times. He ultimately gets it right, but clearly fumbles with it upside down as though it was a completely novel object.

Trump was in charge on J6. The failure to crack down then, is in part due to Trump intentionally not cracking down. I would compare this to the heavy handed crackdown on the DC Black Lives Matter protesters. You know, the one where he heals a Bible upside down. That was a violent crackdown on mostly peaceful protestors.

Having a minority opinion is no reason for being verbally abused. You’re out of line.

Fair, and I certainly got people’s attention.

Critical race theory, assuming you’re not a clown.

Sort of. I’m saying mocking only lowers the overall dialogue into the shitter, which doesn’t serve the purpose you think. It may make you feel morally superior, but does nothing to fix the issue, and arguably further entrenches the two sides.

Lemmy was already dying, just look at plots of active users since the Reddit API flap. It’s going down not up. The sooner it does, the sooner a stronger decentralized platform, or newer version of Lemmy, can take it’s place. It’s current iteration is a rickety Reddit clone that suffers from rolling defederation.

Not close at all, but ok.

So I spoke up to try and explain to this group the pitfall of continuing the jokes on this particular subject. Likewise everyone should speak up at PTA meetings despite the flack. Not certain my work is being appreciated by the local memelords here.
