If Republicans could feel shame I’m sure they’d be very upset

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.

My grandfather, who took a pistol off a dead Nazi doctor in the 14th Armored Division, quit the Republican Party when they had those Purple Heart Band Aids.

I guess if you get one after waking up under the body of your dead friend you don’t get the joke.

Yeah, that was when the myth of the "liberal" media should have been permanently put down, along with the GOP, but nah, the MSM dutifully "both sides" it and so many (most?) veterans had zero problem with it. That was when the (D) party should have had its real 'Houston, we have a problem' moment, and started fighting the metastasizing problem of right-wing/fascist propaganda that gets merely parroted by the rest of the MSM, but alas, they did fuck-all while it just got worse and worse and worse.

But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn't lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.

And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump's multi-billionaire buddy.

Why are Vermont reps so based??? Isn't Bernie also from there?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago

Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.

That’s my rep! Glad that the little State of Vermont has sane representatives in both chambers of congress.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'm wondering what the hell is going on in Vermont, and can you guys ship it to the rest of the country?

Why the fuck are they waiting until after he came into office to hammer home the Russian ties and really bring it to the forefront?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.

Because they are cockroaches and only act for their own survival.

The post-Reagan GOP has only ever been about more government, more police, more fascism. She's fallen for the classic blunder of assuming that fascists ever argue in good faith. They don't give a shit that they talk about being the party of small government and yet can't wait to use techno-feudalism to make sure that gay people aren't secretly having sex. They're not arguing for small government in good faith and never have done.

Any Republican with the capability to be embarrassed has left the party. Anyone remaining is complicit.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 26 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Lady, the states have always supported dictators that were friendly to them (often because they were installed BY the USA, like Fulgencion Batista, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, to name a few)

"waa waa trump is a russian puppet"

Karma sure is a bitch, huh? Enjoy.

I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.

Thank You Representative Balint!!

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 18 points 2 weeks ago

TBO US supported dictators before, Pinochet, Marcos, Saddam, Suharto, Batista and others.

This is the first time for a major land. Still scary and absurd tough.

[–] minnow@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

She got it backwards, they side with Trump because Russia said so.

You're assuming democracy will still exist.

They're playing the Nazi/Putin play book with Project 2025.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The Nazi playbook ended with a suicide and a bunch of executions.

Is this talking about Musk or Putin?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Musk isn't a dictator, he's just a dick.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He’s an unelected guy who is seizing control of multiple countries’s governments right now.

THANK YOU! it's so nice to see this being talked about more and more. My son is autistic and he's been sig heiling just about every day since he was 3. He also doesn't talk much but when he does it's usually about how the Jews need to go and how awesome fascism and oligarchies are. People give him weird looks all the time but it's just so exhausting to explain every time that it's just autism. Total every day autism.

Is your son Ye?
