More like DonOLD Trump, amiright? Woo!

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 55 points 8 months ago

This is my first time seeing this. Pretty clever. Childish. Cheap. Petty. Wonderful.

Random memory recovered!

Back in early 2016, we made the joke "Don Old Rump", who wants that lol

Probably someone less rapey and weird too, hopefully.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Good luck finding that in current GOP

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 53 points 8 months ago

Something to remember:

Don't think for one minute that "not-Trump" means "not-Project 2025".

This plan will be on the back burner quietly simmering away until all those who support it are evicted from the RNC.

Like Harris? She’s younger!

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 15 points 8 months ago

And according to Trump, she’s still extremely youthful despite having the experience of a 60 year old prosecutor and lawmaker.

He’s even directly endorsed her in the past.

But easier to control.

Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence is just too old. He needs to drop out. It's pathetic at this point and he's really just embarrassing himself. Sad.

And if the RNC chooses to IGNORE their Constituents then literally NOTHING bad will happen because Republicans will vote for Republicans LITERALLY even if those Republicans are Murdering Their Children!

This is like kids at a restaurant. 2 kids are getting the things they always get. One kid changes their mind last second. Other kids mocks them about how bad their food is gonna suck, should have gotten old faithful, etc. Turns out the new choice was great, superior in fact. Now the other kid wants to change his choice but it be too late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What goes around comes around. Repubes never learned the lesson when they relentlessly called Joe Biden old and senile for past 2+ years 🤣

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I mean that can always nominate JD "couch lover" Vance.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

No dolphin will ever vote for him.

Every Republican will tell you that Snopes is not a reliable source. If they say it's false, then it must be true, right?!

Like I'm going to trust the crooked liberal media.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

People come up to me and ask, "SwingingTheLamp, is it true that JD Vance put his dick in a couch?" I dunno. People are saying that JD Vance fucked a couch. Great people, some of the best people are saying it. We have the best couches in this country. Did you ever notice that? Best, sexiest couches. Migrants are flooding across the border to defile our couches. Dropping loads between our cushions, not even a rubber glove. It's disgusting. We have to keep our couches safe for good, American dicks.

That's not fair, even AP had to say there's no way to actually prove he didn't fuck a couch!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Hurr hurr hurr.

What's great is that because of Red MAGA, this would divide the party in such a way that it would never come back together. Blue MAGA got it's faced punched in when the time came, but Red MAGA is much much more in control of their party.

Expect people to write in DJT for decades after the guy is dead and burrired. Once DJT is out of the picture, they are well and truly fucked.

Lol, somebody watches a bit too much fox "news"

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There is no better word for the cult that tried to force Biden and thereby Trump on us.

Thankfully they didn't get the nation-state backing that Red MAGA got.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 40 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

No one was trying to "force Biden." Biden was the candidate. No one ran against him. The only person who had control over whether he decided to bow out was Biden himself. As long as he was the candidate, fuck yes I'm going to be all-in on Biden, because the alternative is Trump. That doesn't prevent me from simultaneously observing reality and airing my concerns about his abilities to the party. The second he dropped out, every "Blue MAGA" you're on about breathed a sigh of relief and lined up behind Harris, demonstrating how what you're describing isn't even remotely comparable to "MAGA."

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I get what you're coming from, but people did run against him. It's just they weren't taken seriously because usually an incumbent is considered the de facto candidate for a party in most cases.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

No one with a snowball's chance in hell of winning any primary, even if there were no incumbent. There were no realistic candidates in the primary besides Biden, and he beat all those candidates handily regardless

Ahh I see we're in the re-writing the past phase.

[–] another@discuss.online 25 points 8 months ago (11 children)

Blue MAGA is a word the MAGAs made up because MAGA is a cuss word now. Don’t spread their word just because you’re upset at politics. None of this is new.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's the term Republicans use because they assume that Democrats are just as hard for their candidate as they are for their own. They think that their fanaticism is normal.

[–] another@discuss.online 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Eewww hard and Trump in the same sentence! You’re not wrong though.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 6 points 8 months ago

Sorry for the mental image.

[–] Mechaguana@programming.dev 7 points 8 months ago

Waah so they willingly bought into the maga cult, kept up the whole ideology, just to try to smear normal people with their own cult name??? Like how little self awareness do they even have? How do theses people function?

That is just... So. Fucking. Wierd.

Like i can only think that they have sever chronic substance problems to maintain such a reasoning.

What from what I said is "rewriting the past?" I lived it, my man. I was there lol

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

Are these blue people in the room with us now?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I'll bet everyone who knows you dreads your bOtH sIdEs/devil's advocate bullshit and avoids talking politics with you every time they can.
