Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

ok now do it in a state that might have actually voted for him

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Georgia would be the state most likely to do so. If Trump gets convicted of a state crime, that might kill his nomination.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 43 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Libs are deadass hoping Trump pulls a voldemort and defeats himself by breaking a rule rather than dems actually defeating Trump fair and square.

...And then DeSantis wins in a landslide after Trump endorses him and #AvengeTrump goes viral.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

rather than dems actually defeating Trump fair and square

since when do we give a shit about fair play in bourgeois elections?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 11 months ago (6 children)

No, it is more hoping that the rule of law catches up to Trump before the election.

But if you want DeSantis to win, I'm probably not going to be able to convince you otherwise.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 40 points 11 months ago (2 children)

"rule of law" Imagine believing in such nonsense. Consider deepthroating a cactus, please and thank you.

[–] Civility@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago
[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm going to need you to vote for Trump '24 to help with that.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no one here is voting for trump and no one here wants desantis to win. you're annoying and delusional

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But it would be funny. Make the libs see that their beliefs are a lie. Just fucking rub it in their faces.

[–] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I mean yeah, shitty right wingers,( yes liberals are right wing) deserve to have their delusions shattered because thats how many of us grew out of that phase.

I'm voting green or socialist, depending on who's on the ballot.

Rule of law? Dude is walking around giving rallies. It took you dumbasses 2, 3 years? to actually get him sitting in a courtroom. The rule of law would’ve put him in front of a firing squad 48 hours after January 6, but we live in la la land where the instigator of a failed coup led by boat dealers get to play golf while we pay for his security.

Your rule of law is a joke. Your party only wields power when it comes to undermining poor people. Otherwise the democrats would’ve banned the GOP and arrested every single one of their politicians. If you call them as undemocratic terrorists, then where is the rule of law when they get to stand next to you in the halls of power?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Why is it my rule of law? Who gave it to me?

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Being pedantic over words you clearly understand because you can’t defend your dogshit positions. Unfortunately you can’t take the Reddit out of the ex-Redditor

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What dog shit positions are you protecting on me?

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Which side of the brunch debate are you on? It matters deeply.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Hard to say because there's so many...

Failing to protect women

Failing to protect trans people

Building the wall

Kids are still in Cages

Aiding a genocide in Gaza

Stopping the rail strike

[–] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

thinks American elections matter and affect policy

refuses to take responsibility for the existing rule of law

thonk

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago (12 children)

Given the sclerotic and partisan nature of the US "rule of law" isn't it irresponsible of them to hope that the courts solve the problem for them instead of trying to run a convincing campaign for their side?

"rule of law"

Oh you mean imaginary things like the tooth fairy?

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

Wait hang on I have one better.

The rule of law: us-foreign-policy

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I assure you, I don't want DeSantis nor Trump to win.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Why not? That would definitely own the Libs, wouldn't it?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Something can be funny without it being good or desired, like in a cosmically funny way.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, President DeSantis would be fucking hilarious.

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It would absolutely be funny watching libs spin and steam and blame again instead of ever asking if there's a good reason why people hate Democrats. That doesn't mean it's good, but it's definitely funny to watch y'all twist yourselves in knots trying desperately to ignore reality

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

No, it will be funny so it is good. It doesn't matter if one side is better than another if both sides are bad. So let the bad happen and hope the next election will bring a communist.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No one here thinks your silly elections will bring anything but suffering. Go ahead and vote for Joe, but don’t come crying if he wins 50 million more votes than the GOP candidate and still loses because of the electoral college.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 11 months ago

My silly elections? You think I can organize this shit?

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

You clearly came here with an expectation about what we think, and what we actually think or say isn't about to dissuade you from that expectation.

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

I think I don't really understand your perspective here. Are you trying to tell me that because you can't find bad things funny that we can't either, so despite what we clearly say you're telling us actually we think it would be good if Desantis or Trump (or Biden) were president of the United States?

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I'm not some kind of GOP cheerleader, I'm mostly making a joke about how infuriatingly lucky the GOP is, and part of it is that democrats are controlled opposition.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's taken 80 years but you're planning on it getting him in the next 11 months?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

This is such a stupid bit.
