It's nuts. Politics and governance in the US have degenerated into bottom barrel reality TV. Even life-long trailer park residents would find these people tacky. To paraphrase Thompson, "The man wearing only boxer shorts and a leather trench coat stopped beating the squealing blow-up doll with a bottle of whiskey for a moment and looked blankly at the TV while stoically ignoring the kids crying in fear in the next trailer over. "Oh, now that really is beyond the pale," he exclaimed."

The guys from Trailer Park Boys would be better than these clowns. Weed would get legalized too

Preach, brother! (Er, or sister as the case may be - a username like HuntressHimbo makes it legitimately hard to tell). But who cares about gender? Preach!

Hahaha brother is fine. Its from Dead by Daylight, Huntress is the killer that got me into the game, and himbo because I want people to know what to expect when I'm on their team 😂

One has got to respect truth in advertising. Leroy Jenkins did not die in vain.

And Alex Lifeson would be Prime Minister

Have you considered poet laureate?

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 11 points 2 days ago

Christ no, I'll never amount to anything. I'd hate to prove the parents that raised me wrong.

I believe in you, even when you may not.

Edit:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

You may be the best of us.

Thank you. That's sweet, and I want you to know I appreciate it.

Edit: And that is a great quote. We will almost certainly never meet, and that's a terrible shame. I'd have loved to buy you a beer.

I already drank it, and then some. Cheers.

I'm not religious, but if I had been I'd say: God bless you. I'd also link to the classic 'you don't need running shoes to run' Father Ted clip, but youtube apparently won't allow it, the worthless corporate-cock-sucking pricks.

[-] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Bless you again for not being religious. Always refreshing to encounter an adult.

That's why americans loove these clowns so much. It's what they know from shows they watch and what they aspire to be.

Their prez is literally a reality TV star. Americans are very silly and shallow. 😔
