Andrew Jackson, you mean Trumps aspirational role model?

Everyone should have seen this coming. All the writing has been on the wall for near a decade now.

just rewatched it last night, and man… the whole movie feels like a personal attack on the modern day. Fingerman are just ICE. St Marys vs Covid. The only thing different is that Sutler was an actually coherent and controlling dictator vs being surrounded by competent sycophants.

Schumer (like so many DNC fossils) is bought by AIPAC. Isreal doesnt want US politicians that are critical of them.

But, perhaps simpler than that, I think Schumer would hate on Mamdani for free. I think Schumer is (even without money) a staunch Zionist, Islamophobe. Hes definitely anti-progressive and a firm corpo capitalist democrat. All his talk about strength and diversity is just lip service.

But they won. Because the alternative was a literal maga crazy person who doesn’t think prejudice against LGBT people is discriminatory.

Now, you can be unhappy that it wasn’t some mystical ultra progressive (that wasn’t even running in the race)… or you can be happy that at least the needle didn’t shift even further right. Now that’s not to say “Vote Blue NMW”, but it will be easier to field progressives in the future from Spanberger’s position, than from Winsome’s. And maybe next time, the magical lefty messiah Lisan al Gaib will be running and the choice will be between them vs the centrist democrat, instead of a centrist democrat vs a literal smoothbrained maga dummy.

That’s the joke…

I don’t understand, can you explain?

oh hell yea. Multi line edit doubling down on the downvotes.

I mean, at first, everyone just thought you were just a little wrong/redflaggy. But now, definitely, everyone is going to read that edit and think “hmmm this seems like a reasonable and respectable person that I should take seriously”. lmao.

if you unironically post incel or incel adjacent memes, you should get called out. This Lemmy Shitpost, not 4chan /b/

Rule 1 ->

This is the same energy as a creepy man telling a lesbian woman “you never had a dick like mine before”.

It’s creepy and predatory behaviour.

if you’re just beginning to abhor them, you have not been paying nearly enough attention.

for real. Like, don’t start giving them ideas. Newsome already exists.

That’s how we do it here in the US of A, and let me tell you, things are going just guh-reat.

You wouldn’t believe how great, no one’s ever heard of how great we’re doing here. Just last week, god called, asked “how are we doing so great?”, I said “I dontknow, I looked at the country as was like, tiger, elephant, giraffe, and then they gave me a candy, told me I was smarter person in the world”. So great folks.

maybe im not even centrist. I might be a libertarian.

So you agree then? “diet nazi”. Fucking called it.

the overton window has shifted so dramatically in the last 40 years, it’s insane.

yup… they always do.

They try to appeal as though they’re being civil and fair, but it’s just a deception, every time. Right out of the nazi playbook. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who called themselves a “centrist” who wasn’t actually, a fucking nazi, but too much of a pussy to admit it.

Good write up. Unfortunately, it’s pearls before swine.

Dudes a winger, Charlie Kirk supporting incel type.

lol, you’re not kidding.

Shocking no one… guy says he’s a centrist… four days ago he’s crying over and supporting Charlie Fucking Kirk.

Everytime someone says “uhm actually, I’m a centrist” it’s code for “actually I’m squarely right wing but plz plz plz don’t hate me for it uwu”.

And he takes issue with being labeled as “diet nazi”. Like, bro, that’s what you are. You’re an enabler and useful idiot for fascists. That’s why people don’t like you.

EDIT: fukcing LOL, he deleted his post so the link above is defunc now. That’s okay, here’s some Charlie apologia quotes from his comment history:

charlie never advocated violence. But the contrary, in fact. To solicit violence from anything he said would only come from your perceptions and bias, not what he “preached”

The divide is so deep here. If you feel some sort of hatred for charlie kirk, please, do let everyone know. We want to know if you support callus, weak, vile way that charlie kirk was murdered.

Or ya know you can also just Read His Modlog for all the bans/removals he’s gotten for: homophobia, transphobia, trolling, hate, bigotry, misinformation…

last quote, from that charlie thread he deleted:

Oh also im not a conservative, but I know thats probably hard to understand for public school kids like yourself

“CeNtRiSt”

Ive been called a communist/socialist by the conservatives i know, ive also been called a fascist by democrats/liberals and others. I haven’t picked a side, so im disliked by by both sides.

If you run into one asshole, you ran into one asshole, if you run into assholes all day… buddy, you’re probably the asshole.

I think it’s reasonable to be critical of extremists. Like, I argue against lefty wokescolds/puritans/tankies all the time. But like, if you’re between the DNC and the GOP and you think that’s some kind of “both sides/fair and balanced/enlightened” position… you’re probably politically ignorant… Hell, if you think the DNC is some actual leftist position… you’re probably politically ignorant.
