This is the dumbest comment I've ever seen. We couldn't possibly be daft enough to elect someone that young! And a woman nonetheless!

If I ever commit voter fraud, it would be to vote Dolly twice :)

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

When it comes to Dolly I'm bipartisan - the left and the right!

[-] psud@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Dolly would be a better performer president than Regan was

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'd vote for her 9 to 5 times

Talk about a bicameral legislature!

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

How about we stop celebrity worshipping in our politics? Reagan was an actor.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 88 points 1 year ago

Dolly Parton is not just a random celebrity. She is a legitimate force for good.

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Absolutely and fully agreed. She's a phenomenal person and one of the few figures I'm proud of as an American.

That still doesn't mean I'd consider her for president. The role, I'd say, asks for entirely different skill sets.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Maybe, but based on the two options we're going to have in 2024, I'd take Dolly over either of them.

[-] Sparlock@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Over the last few decades i have noticed a 100% correlation between a person's dislike of Dolly and them being a shithead.

Anyone who doesn't like her is simply wrong. That is not an opinion just a statement of fact IMO.

By that standard, Mr. Beast should run for president in 10 years.

Edit: Looked into it, that's already his plan. https://www.insider.com/mrbeast-president-mid-40s-2022-9

Argh

YouTuber Logan Paul announced that he plans to run for president in 11 years when he turns 35

Can’t wait for the 2036 matchup of Mr Beast vs. Logan Paul!

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If it comes down to that, I think Beast would be a no brainer.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The literal no brain would be JAKE PAUL YEAh he can punch people, but yeah.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is there an ihadastroke community for lemmy?

I'm sorry but I can't tell what you are trying to say.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Okay, let me diagram the sentence for you.

The

  • literal no-brain (adjective)
    -- would (verb modifier)

be (verb)


JAKE PAUL (noun, subject)
then, as a run-on sentence, and exclamation

  • Yeah (exclamation
  • he (pronoun, subject)
  • can (affirmative)
  • punch (verb)
  • people (noun)

Since you don't seem to understand American English as commonly spoken, I'll try to explain. If you've had a stroke recently, I understand.

"The literal no brain" means "the action that would be done by someone who has no brains", as in, very unintelligent or not thinking.

"would be"

"JAKE PAUL YEAh" : to cheer for Jake Paul.

"he can punch people" : in context, someone with no brains would cheer for Jake Paul due to his physical fighting prowess.

Hope that helps.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That does not help

Funny way to explain all that though so I must approve of the effort

I support his plan to enter all voters into a random giveaway.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds a lot like sortition to me.

[-] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

I also recently learned that Mr. Beast has shady connections that lead back to Russian oligarchs and South African real estate money from the apartheid days

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I saw it in a video and did absolutely zero fact checking myself, so your response and the down votes for me aren't exactly unwarranted

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Too bad John Prine can't be her vice president.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

My children have a stack of free age-approptiate books, and I will whack you with them until you read more about the good that Dolly has done.

Don't worry, kids books are light.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
[-] misophist@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I do not recognize that title as anything my children have received from Dolly's Imagination Library.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I thought you meant kids' books in general.

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's unavoidable: politics is a popularity contest, and celebrities are popular...

Also being an actor doesn't automatically mean they're not fit for the role, Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, was an actor.

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

He was an actor with a degree in politics. It's not like he didn't at least have some knowledge of what was involved.
