Lmao "Um actually they think Donald Trump is a lib"

He IS a lib. FFS Americans learn what political terms mean before applying them. This is how you get an entire country thinking that the Democrats are left.

US liberal, learning that the far right party in their fellow white country of australia is called The Liberal Party : 🤔

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 70 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Hah no. Tankies want him elected.

IDK which tankies you are seeing, but the ones on Lemmy are Russian trolls who very clearly favor Donald Trump

The tankies I see on Lemmy are Zionist trolls who deny Genocide and favor Joe Biden.

Just making it all up as they go along.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 46 points 4 months ago

Tankies is just the word they use for peoplw they don't agree with

nah that word is usually russian bot

That last one is really something. I am so curious as to how they claim to this conclusion.

I clicked in hoping to see the unicorn-rare .world W, but the comments are one of the worst cesspits of idiocy even for their standards. I mean:

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 42 points 4 months ago

it's legitimately hilarious how clueless and naive these people are, and how smart they think they are.

They are a walking stereotype of Liberals. We know exactly how they think and the exact narratives they parrot.

They don't know anything about us, saying we are 'zionists' when we are practically the Hamas fan club over here. They don't understand jack shit about anything.

There is a lot liberals don't want to understand, and by the magic of hegemony, never feel much pressure to. Trumpism has been the prevailing US ideology from the beginning

This person thinks it just means redfash, if they can even understand that.

But seriously, not a single comment expressing anything like "hell yeah fuck trump" all just deeply unserious.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 4 months ago

But seriously, not a single comment expressing anything like “hell yeah fuck trump” all just deeply unserious.

Normally they are all "fuck trump" but the moment spectre of tankie shows they immediately just click away to face the more hated enemies. In other words, Kronshtad was not a mistake and we should have a thousands more.

[-] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Kronshtad was not a mistake

Can you explain this, I'm trying to learn more history.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 4 months ago

Kronshtadt Rebellion was a proto-prototype of colour coup, basically all the washed out opportunists, libs and ultras that took a huge L in October Revolution gathered there (supported by imperialist powers) and riding on a social unrest caused by hard conditions of 7 years of continous war (it was in 1921) demanded that bolsheviks just give them everything and back off. They got crushed by Trotsky subsequently, which is often cited as his mosed based contribution.

You hate Donald Trump because he's uncivil and rude.

I hate him because he perfectly ecapulates the double standards of the American justice system. If he was a poor black dude breaking the law he would be in jail or executed by now

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

I love Donald Trump because he's funny, and he's delegitimizing and mismanaging the high office of an empire that needs to finally die.

Chuds love Donald Trump because they think he makes me cry.

We are not the same.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago

Fun fact, in 2015 the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton Campaign told liberal media to popularize Donald Trump because they said he would be easy to defeat. The Republican party had rejected Trump at the time because he was seen as an outsider. If it had not been for Liberal media, he probably would have never been elected president.

https://media.salon.com/2016/11/pied-piper-dnc-email.png

"We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously"

You can still see the videos of Liberal media promoting Trump in 2015 on mainstream Liberal media youtube channels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF9WE395KYo "Summer of Trump" 2015 compilation of MSNBC clips promoting Donald Trump

This is just a few example, you can go to the CNN or MSNBC youtube channel and search "Trump 2015" and there's dozens of videos. MSNBC and CNN promoted Trump for several months during 2015.

Dude was the most benign Republican of the last 100 years. Maybe Ford could be argued, but compared to the 2 Bushes, Regan and Nixon, he was alright. People freaking the fuck out over him made history change for the stupider and arguably worse but yknow, his actions as president pale in comparison to Reagan mics, the Iraq wars, invading Afghanistan, Iran Contra and it's surrounding crimes against humanity, bombing Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia into smithereens etc. He's just a loud and silly dumb guy, really not a big deal.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago

He's just a loud and silly dumb guy, really not a big deal.

That's why he's a big deal to civility brained libs. He's bringing the office of the president into disrepute by acting like he acts. Compared to that, not killing millions of people doesn't even matter.

Glad to see the 'well actually' nerds are still at it, correcting the record, with the caveat that we deny there is a genocide going on in China.

You know, the one that has no substantial proof outside of the ravings of a Christian lunatic and some unaccountable websites, that is not believed by a single international body. The accusations that rings especially hollow now that we know what evidence of what an actual genocide looks like in the era of smart phones, and how the U.S. and international bodies actually respond to such atrocities.

But ya know, they gotta get their digs in at us somehow while still getting things completely wrong. God, they're just so very smart!

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
