So the reason why they're so against women, gay, drag, trans was that they want to be the only drama queens around?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 week ago

You hit the nail on the head.

Projection is a requirement to be part of the GOP

“Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was women?”

(edit:)
— voters who choose GOP

~~Why do you choose to be a misogynistic dick when you could just shut your mouth?~~

Alright, Gotcha, and I appreciate your position

The written word is tricky, it loses nuance

To be fair, your response was entirely appropriate for actual misogyny. Sorry for the false alarm.

It's great to see healthy interactions here

It's so much better than the cesspit of neckbeards that is reddit!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t normally upvote shit like…

But this, I upvoted everyone because I saw the whole fallout afterward and I like the interaction.

“Oops no fr I fucked up not indicating I was joking”

“Oh cool that’s all? Nbd.”

I’m here for that shit: if that’s what Lemmy was as a whole, the world would be a better place, legit.

Damned right

I think we forget to reinforce the positive, because we're so used to being negative

They reached the most sensible, logical conclusion: deport musk and impeach trump.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Fuck it. Impeach Elon, and deport trump as well, while we're at it. Deport them both to Afghanistan, since that wouldn't be cruel or anything, right? Just sending people wherever you feel like it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Didn't one of Trump's grand or great grandparent come here illegally? Sounds like he needs to visit El Salvador

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

His wife would be illegal by current ICE standards so her and her anchor baby Barron should be deported or sent to El Salvador.

Nominate a woman that people actually want to be president and then maybe we can talk.

AOC, for example, is filling football stadiums in red states.

And make sure they're not flagrantly carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate during the run up to the election. Preferably they will be sane and won't support that kind of thing at all. But this is America, we're currently being led by a dementia addled gameshow host. Sanity is sadly not a prerequisite for the job.

Oh ya know... It's not her turn. There's like 6 people you've never heard of ahead of her.

Consecutive terms should be eliminated.

If there is no "incumbency advantage", there will be no excuses to "we cant hold a primary because we 'lose the advantage'" bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

There's really no excuse here, incumbency or no.

They knew Clinton was unpopular because she first lost to Obama and they had to rig her primary against Sanders. Harris couldn't even beat out Tulsi Gabbard in a primary and the president demanding that she be crowned the candidate has evident dementia.

Say what you will about Donald (and I don't like him either), but he wasn't so weak that he had to forego the primaries)

Right. And to be clear, you can have insincere boring male candidates just the same. Look at old Biden (VP Biden is somewhat different). Or look at Tim Kaine. No authenticity. No charisma. No backbone.

Anger isn't an emotion - it's alpha male psychology, or something? Honestly I lost track while laughing as two of the worst people on Earth started going at each other like a pair of angry cats.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How is anger not an emotion?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That was sarcasm.

You know how parts of the manosohere like to claim men are the voice of reason incarnate and women shouldn't be trusted with any responsibility because they're too emotional?

Part of that facade is to act like anger isn't an emotion, because when they suppress "unmanly" emotions like sadness and fear, they tend to channel them into anger instead.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Well fuck, when you put it that way, I will not only upvote this, but change my previous down vote to an upvote as well, and then jerk off. That last part is unrelated to your explanation, just thought you'd like my schedule for the day, starting now.

I had to look up what TDS is and for others, it's short for "Trump Derangement Syndrome", an epithet MAGA put on people they don't like to insinuate that they fear Trump and his ilk.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I assumed it was some ketamine side effect.

Earlier today my wife sent me a link to an article about the Trump/Elon drama and compared it to our teenager's high school bullshit level feuds.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

If Elon said that about epstien that means he knew the entire time and chose not to say anything

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You voted in a pair of drama degenerates and now you try to build some sexist agenda upon the bullshit those degenerates do.

Are you sure that you don't deserve Trump as a president?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

I think they’re trying to do the opposite of build a sexist agenda lol. This is facetiously poking fun at the people who say women are too emotional to be president. Atleast that was my interpretation.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You are exactly the kind of person this post is making fun of and you dont even realize it.

Edit: Joined a day ago...hopefully you're one of the lemmy.ee migrators.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Trump is exactly what we deserve.

Who voted for Elon? I don't think anyone did. :)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anyone that didn't think they were voting for Elon whilst voting for Trump didn't attempt to understand the bare minimum about the vote they made.

Elon was on the same stage as trump for months leading up to the election—it was crystal clear he would be part of the package

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

See, I didn't vote for trump either and also, they cheated. Trump said he was going to cheat and Elon is now saying they cheated. I believe them.

To be fair, I feel like almost everyone I’ve ever met would be too emotional to be president.

We failed pretty horrifically at screening the bullshit out though. Like, god damn.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The greatest illusion of humanity is that reason is a default state.

We are hormonal meat beasts that require decades to tame to any productive end and even still we are all literally one phone call away from losing our shit completely.
