it still is probably. Never forget the empty store shelves during COVID were Biden's fault, too, even before the election. "This is Biden's America" shrieked the boomers as they filled three shopping carts with enough toilet paper to pass down to their grandchildren if they didn't have to light it on fire to stay warm later that winter in Texas.

That reminds me of when people show pictures of slums or empty shelves and claim that's the result of communism or socialism when it's literally the result of capitalism

Trump was in office, no one was blaming Biden for anything, yet. I remember some stupid memes with empty shelves and "this is what it will be like under the Democrats".

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Or “this is what communism will look like” under a photo of empty grocery shelves taken in an American supermarket.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

YES!

Uh, this is literally America under a Trump administration. Just wait till it collapses further. The mind boggles.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Anecdotally, I remember plenty of people blaming Biden for the United States' bungled response to COVID despite him not being president at the time. Ask people who was president in 2020 and a lot will mistakenly say Biden.

Same for Katrina and Obama.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hell I've heard people try to blame the 2008 recession on Obama

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Where was Obama on 9/11!?!?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Lol that was a Trump campaign ad that did that

Give 'em a week and they'll find a way to blame Biden or Kamala for the bird flu

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

To be fair it’s not like they did anything to stop it

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Like what? We want cheap eggs, they've got to be factory farmed at immense scale. Then bird flu hits and we have to cull 100,000,000 chickens. Bouncing chicken and egg prices are the new normal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I’m talking about not having monitoring infrastructure in place and mandatory reporting. Trumps been in office not even a week this is totally on biden.

I was referring to bird flu not the price or availability of eggs.

edit - wow, the downvotes. Liberal la la land strikes again. Bird flu has been circulating around american agriculture and it’s workers for quite some time and it’s like the biden admin learned nothing from covid other than trumps policy of pretending nothings wrong. Fucking insane. The DNC shillbots of lemmy world strike again!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You shoved so many "libtard" type buzzwords in your goofy ass comment it's hard to ever take you seriously even if you were saying something salient. Just FYI

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

As an anarchist I think the liberals are a fucking joke and a bad one at that. Liberals can’t fathom a world that exists outside of their narrow red-blue spectrum.

Also I’d love to know what in these specific comments have anything “libtard” about it. The biden admins approach to bird flu was to pretend it essentially didn’t exist but without the right wing level of denial. Whole lot of downplay.

My comments about liberals in general comes from the perspective of a queer woman who has watched the democrats DO NOTHING FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS TO STOP FASCISM AND ARE COMPLACENT AND COMPLICIT IN ITS RISE. take that liberals. How’s vote blue no matter who working for ya????? People like me are now in the crosshairs because liberals rather lose to fascists than upset capitalists.

Not doing enough is not the same as doing nothing.

Look at how much was done on day fucking one of "Trump's America" and know how much bullshit they were holding back.

Is the party largely corrupt and ineffectual at effecting long-standing change? Sure. But they're also not actively seeking the destruction of everything "weird" their opponents blame for all things awful that goes on in the world.

Biden has no more control to limit bird flu then is already happening and neither does Trump.

The point of the post wasn't to lay the blame of bird flu on Trump, but point out the media manipulation that Fox is doing on behalf of Trump.

Congrats helping Republicans win. You're also responsible for this along with MAGAts.

Also, I'm going to block you so have fun screaming in the void when you reply.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE, DIPSHIT..

On behalf of every trans person in America: go fuck yourself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

On behalf of the queer gender conforming antizionist jew you’re speaking to, go fuck yourself shit lib. The genocide is coming for us all.

You don’t speak for all queer people.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Lmao I'm sure youre proud you are man Donald has already undone what little Biden did to stop Israel. And that the party of "Jewish space lasers" is in power again.

I speak for every queer person with a conscience and more than 2 braincells.

The COVID protesters near me have switched their banners to say that bird flu is fake now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I literally saw someone yesterday! I'm in Canada, so they are a bit rarer, but the slogans are the same. The highlight of the numerous bumper stickers was, "Mainstream Media is the Virus", and my favorite writing on the car rear windshield was about how the bird flu was fake.

I tried staring them down, but they were (unsurprisingly) oblivious.

So jazzed that we all are now able to exercise our American Freedom to pay double for eggs, die from bird flu, and hate people specifically because of their perceived sex organs. Truly how God intended it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Can't believe Brandon's last executive order was to give the chickens flu!!

^this is a clown comment^

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

People are still acting like those who voted for Trump have any shame at all. They don't give a shit, and they will piss on your grave if they have the occasion to do so.

Start treating them like the scum of the earth they are.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

A shortage AND expensive; Oh Donald, you didn't had to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Who the hell cares?

Ugh. The only thing worse than images of social media from other platforms is images of social media from other platforms including an "influencer" from that other platform. The best thing about the death of Twitter could have been the end of all those Twitter influencers. But no, people want to keep following them on a new platform. Why? Because of "insight" like this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

How many eggs does Biden eat geez

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Biden did keep FDA, and agriculture department, who suggest not selling chickens dead from flu or pretending there is no avian flu. The people I know who were angry about anything covid, are certain that Avian flu is fake so that the government can control them through pointless annoyances.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Need to be petty an get a bunch of "I did that" stickers with trump on them, see how they like it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I was a huge Meidas Touch Network viewer until the election, when I decided to abandon my faith in educated, rational analyses predicting what psycho America is going to do next. I'll probably start watching again after a year or two, assuming non-MAGA content still exists and we're all still here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

No worries! Trump is bringing all the bird flu back!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I mean even if it is a broken clock it will give the right hour at least twice
