MAGA are the toughest people on Twitter. : progressivepolitics

All I get from this is how Greta is putting us all to shame.

She's fighting an unwinnable fight in the face of obvious defeat ... a literal David and Goliath confrontation (and this time there will be no divine intervention) yet she chooses to jump into the fight anyway.

GOP always pretend they could do the same but would only ever cower and scatter like cockroaches at the first sight of danger.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 65 points 3 weeks ago

I'm genuinely afraid for her life. She's throwing herself into a situation where the last people who tried got bombed. The Reich wing of the world would love to see her killed and I honestly think the vast majority of us would shrug it off instead of riot. :(

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 49 points 3 weeks ago

She knows this. She's not dumb. I assume her hope is that her death will enrage people enough to do something. That her death will matter.

I hope it will too.

Israel has murdered US citizens. And faced literally no consequences whatsoever. And that was under Biden.

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Not even just Israel. Saudi Arabia attacked the US on 9/11 as the declassified documents that Obama released showed, and the US proceeded to go to war with two unrelated countries instead, and the US is still allied with Saudi Arabia. Hell, nobody even talked about it on mainstream news, and the public seems to have completely forgotten about it.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

She has already done this in the past, and she got drone bombed then too.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

She's doing what she's been doing for the last several years. She is using the brand name recognition that the right-wing nutters have given her through their vitriol and using it to highlight whatever cause she desires to make people pay attention to.

In a very real sense they have turned her into a powerful media weapon for progressive and climate change causes. Because everywhere she goes she gets ink.

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Dude, I have to go work tomorrow. I don't have time to fight Goliath. Maybe she can conjure money to live off out of air, but I can't.

Wish Lindsey Graham would eat a bag of dicks and choke on one.

[-] abdominable@lemm.ee 32 points 3 weeks ago

An entire bag of dicks would be a diet for this dandy.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

That would be heaven for him

Well nowadays she's a 22 year old woman

How old was she when the whole Greta hate started all those years ago? Grown ass men dunking on a literal schoolgirl who had more integrity and intelligence than any of them.

[-] Walk_blesseD 4 points 3 weeks ago

Sixteen.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

It’s sad that fear keeps you in line, Lindsey

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 59 points 3 weeks ago

lol this is a primary school grade reaction to something you are jealous of. He knows he never had and will never have a fraction of the courage this girl has at this young age so just lashing out to soothe is ego.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago

Lindsey Graham is such a disgusting human being.

[-] abdominable@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

Don't call that lizard a human

[-] possumparty@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

Don't call that sentient pile of feces a lizard

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Thats offensive to lizards. At least they do the job of eating cockroaches.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, his Wikipedia article makes it seem like he used to be a decent human being who cared for his constituents… up until a 2017 meeting with Trump where he was replaced by the lizard people

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Successful, career politicians are chameleons. He's always been a pos, but went fully mask off after Trump.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 43 points 3 weeks ago

Literal imperial lapdog jeers literal freedom fighter.

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago

I bet if you say those exact words when you see this POS get on a yacht you would be immediately arrested for death threats.

[-] matlag@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 weeks ago

Does this coult as a threat, warranting a visit from the FBI? What would happen if I was writing "I hope he's bullet-proof" on a tweet about some public figure?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

Personally, I hope he's not bulletproof

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This is what happens when you just can't admit to the world that you want to kiss a man on the lips.

Greta has much bigger balls than Lindsey.

[-] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

He could have said nothing. He chose to look bad instead. I think there's a BO smelling fedora around here somewhere...

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 22 points 3 weeks ago

Mr lindsey, you should entertain your young male escort instead.

[-] Alph4d0g@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 3 weeks ago

I see you're focused on solving or country's problems, Lindsay. Or does pandering do the dumbass base accomplish that goal instead?

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 6 points 3 weeks ago

what gave you that impression? he's not pandering, he is the dumbass base

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

No. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is in a sense exactly like Trump. He will do or say anything that will get him re-elected to his position and he has absolutely no principles whatsoever beyond that.

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

If something actually does happen, this post won't age so well Lindsey. Unlike ladybugs, Greta has cajones of steel doing this again.

[-] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Why does he hope they can swim? They're on a boat. Is the boat going to sink or something?

The last boat got bombed
