REAL MERCH for TRUE CONSUMERS. I cannot believe that GAVIN WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

[-] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

All hail God Emperor Gavin!

Leave it to Lemmy to hate everything and everyone while doing jackshit themselves.

Edit: I take it back, you do jack shit, you downvote people who call you out on it. Bunch of complainers. Go be the change you want to see in the world or shut up. Now’s the time for it.

[-] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

Very well put! Thank you. More people need to understand how the concept of nuance works and how to apply it to the reality they live in.

They voted (and didn’t vote) based entirely on their wishful thinking of a perfect world in which everything they hate is solved by one person.

And they still didn’t learn from it.

As a non American, I’m so weirded out by people hyping Newsom’s* lame trolling as the second coming of Christ.

It’s a real dumb country to dominate the world, and despite all the suffering it will involve, I’m glad it’s finally collapsing. All the best to you non-insane people living there though, I’m rooting for you (but not betting on you, yet).

*His Gen Z social media staff

Mockery is an important tool against fascists and other authoritarians. It was even used effectively against Hitler. Their power is entirely projection and something needs to break the glass.

[-] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago

Dems don't getit. we don't want someone who acts like Trump, we want someone who is effective in getting what they want passed like Trump.

Supreme Court members impeached starting with alito.

Healthcare for all.

Crash the housing market by imposing taxes on anything beyond a second home

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 50 points 2 days ago

Obligatory fuck Newsom, but also a signed constitution would've probably been a better statement.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 15 points 1 day ago

Well, Trump also sold Bibles.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Newsom is a neoliberal snake that is doing a “hey fellow kids” approach to Trump. Mocking Trump by imitating him is just getting him made fun of in right wing spaces. I doubt it will do much besides get some centrist billionaire apologizing Dems a micro dopamine hit on social media. I say all this, but if he is the 2028 nominee, then so be it and I will vote for him because purity tests are not helping anyone.

The EU should play his own game and funnel foreign campaign money for none-GOP people through these stores.

Of course we should have done this years ago since at this point we won't have fair elections, but for a brief moment, I was satisfied with my thought.

[-] earlgrey0@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

As long as it’s not Gavin, he really sucks in other ways.

The EU needs to concentrate on keeping its own fascists under control.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I am getting very worried about the UK and Germany. It’s looking more and more like they will be in Russia’s pocket soon enough.

[-] thedruid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The uk is as cooked as the us. Those Id laws....

[-] floo@retrolemmy.com 10 points 2 days ago

Somehow, I don’t think the solution to this problem is more corruption

[-] paper_moon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I mean at this point I'd try anything to not recreate Germany circa late 1930's...

I really doubt the people in concentration camps would have agreed with "ya know what? Maybe fighting corruption with corruption isn't something worth trying..."

Why? The issue was never one of having too little money. Harris raised far more than Trump and still lost.

Shit if anything maybe taking less foreign bribes and focusing more on their citizens needs might have been a winning strategy.

I have always been partial to the red "Made You Look (black lives matter)" hats myself.

Toss some of those bad boys on there!!!

[-] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Oh I love that!

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago

Gavin is just acting like Trump.

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

He’s really committing to the bit with going on right wing podcasts and saying anti trans rhetoric. He even got on trumps “criminalize homelessness” bullshit like a full year before trump was re-elected, that’s crazy good acting

[-] Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago

That'll teach the fascists! - Libs everywhere

[-] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago

Ridiculing them is an effective tool yes, just not the only thing that needs to happen

[-] mathemachristian 2 points 1 day ago

blobfox, blobfoxangrylaugh all those libs called out in the comment section.

[-] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

"Let's not fight back and just let the fascists do whatever they want" -useful idiots everywhere

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

“I changed my facebook profile picture” level fighting back except you pay for it

[-] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

It’s better to do nothing at all! - far left socialists everywhere.

[-] mathemachristian 3 points 1 day ago

And yet somehow are the same people that shout "Get organised" the loudest neocat, thonk

[-] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

that'll show him!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
