They're aligned with Putin in the fascism. That's why they like him.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Too many liberals desperately want to believe the GOP wasn't already like this dating back to Eisenhower.

They want to believe in a loyal opposition, because it's easier to justify bipartisan compromise when your counterpart isn't a frothing lunatic.

I saw this yesterday at a kids soccer game:

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 57 points 2 weeks ago

Comedian Bill Engvall once suggested stupid people wear signs so you'd know not to get into a conversation with them. Here's your sign!

Reminds me of the tweet that a younger veteran wrote. He said he was out shopping while wearing something indicating his vet status, and he was approached by an old man in a MAGA hat. It went like this apparently:

Old man: Thank you for your service!

Vet: Get fucked, traitor.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's beautiful. Sincere thanks for that guy's service in saying that.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Get fucked (by somebody hot), citizen.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Joke's on Engvall. Put on a dunce cap and you'll attract people like a fucking magnet.

i wonder what their younger selves would think if you showed them this pic 10 years ago.

edit: found this interesting chart from vox around when this rally happened...

I imagine that people like this have always felt this way to some degree. Maybe because it was a different time back then, or maybe because they were younger (and thus more concerned with peer pressure), they were silent. Now they feel emboldened; for whatever reason. It’s like Pandora’s box: it’s been opened, and even if you close it, it’s too late. It’s out there now.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

I have one reason: An orange conman/felon.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

im not that sure. of course they were probably never friendly with democrats but russia was not far removed from literal communism for most of these guys’ lives.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Which is just crazy, because Russia was enemy number one for most of these people's lives.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Isn’t this from a town hall in like 2016? Eight years ago if so. They’d still be into it, think it’s a great shirt and whip out their credit cards.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

looks like 2018. but I really don't think the republican-Russian love affair was a thing any time before 2016.

[-] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

What the absolute fuck

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, they are the "normal" ones.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 weeks ago

Ngl this just looks like two old buddies who need an excuse to feel less lonely and part of a community.

It just sucks that the only community they have is a fascist incubator.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

If you're up to date with The Boys, Firestarter (Firecracker? The lady who cozies up to Homelander and takes medication to lactate) says about as much.

Useful idiots

What are the odds COVID took care of that guy?

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'd rather be ~~Russian~~ blackout drunk

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

They should move to fucking Russia then

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Move back, you mean. Look at them...those are two Russian faces. Ain't no way they aren't Kremlin plants.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago

If you told me this was AI I would have believed you... But I know this is real.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. That's why they said "I know this is real."

[-] ApexHunter@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago

These are exactly the faces you would expect to see wearing those shirts.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Not a person of color to be seen. Shocking.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's always Clarence Thomas

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah I also assume if Trump wins, Mark Robinson will somehow be installed on SCOTUS. It just makes sense, it's the obvious move.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

One here though. They're out there, offering their faces to the leopards.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, and there's a black nazi in North Carolina. The exceptions kind of prove the rule in this case.

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

Cult of the Cheese Turd

[-] nick@midwest.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like white trash to me.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Sooo…I guess they stopped using “commie” as an insult now?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Do you think they know what communism actually is? In their mind it's whatever the Democrats are doing.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

You misspelled feces.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

i don't think those two in particular look like cult. IMHO they look like edgy trouble makers trying to stir some shit and enjoy the drama. i think they would switch sides the minute they can cause more havoc with the other side, unlike loyal cult members.

[-] Test_Tickles@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

They look like they want to tell you these hilarious jokes that they saw on Facebook. And the "jokes" will be insanely racist. They will be "jokes" with punchlines that make no sense, but include as many racial slurs as possible.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hate and the stink of too much fatty food is what I see.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Punch them in their dumb pompous faces.
