And Cheney was a fucking monster so like that’s saying something.

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 week ago

That tells enough about the Republican party's current direction.

Can’t believe I upvoted Dick Cheney.

Dick’s upvoted for Harambe.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What a dick!

Of course, he’s not a republican, he’s a conservative.

[-] heyoni@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago

Exactly, there’s such a difference now. Republicanism is no longer a set of values, it’s a cult. Nothing can undo the damage that’s been done.

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 week ago

Ironically, the amount of damage done makes it almost fixable. Trump going so far off the deep end will eventually allow whatever conservative political body forms after he's out of public life to disavow Trumpism.

Compare the Trump movement to the Tea Party movement and you'll see what I mean. The Tea Party wasn't too far away from the existing Republican platform, and the movement was comparatively tame. Because of that, the Republican party would not be able to separate itself from the Tea Party movement if they tried.

after he's out of public life

Preach Lemming!

That's the only thing that matters now. I can't see or hear him anymore. Also, he has damaged humanity enough.

It's like his fucking toxic aura spread around the world and divided societies in 2 extremely opposed factions.

The grabbers and the not-grabbers.

He's still alive?

You know what? I fuckin hate the guy, but in the context of “let’s stop the goddamn fascist kleptocrats”, I’ll take it.

The ends justify the means eh?

That guy epitomizes everything that went wrong with Iraq and the Nixon administration. I wouldn't believe there's anything good about him until now.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 week ago

This doesn’t make him good, it’s just the point that trump is a bridge too far for him.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I figured this post was gonna be about the ghoul dying. Strange times.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I thought i just ate an onion, but it wasn't one.

[-] SoJB@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago

Hundreds of high profile republicans, literal ghouls, endorsing the Dem nominee isn’t exactly something to be celebrated. But sure go off, liberals lmao

[-] johny@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I’m voting for the same party as a world-historic war criminal so like that’s saying something.
