George Floyd's birthday is the same day, the memes are going to be intense

wait really? holy shit. How are they running the country and yet this incompetent??

edit: lmao you guys replying are the best!

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago

You misspelled “ruining”

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Oh they are very competent at ruining it

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Nonono he's right. I just also misspelled impotent.

[-] degen@midwest.social 13 points 1 week ago

Cool part is an antifascist rager can look a lot like a "celebration of life"

Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.

edit for clarity

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

They were fired for being told that they needed to be lynched?

[-] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Just to be clear, I'm reading it as "the Prof got fired for saying they wouldn't mourn Kirk, and someone else said the Prof should be lynched too"

Oh they want me to remember Charlie Kirk? Oh... okay, I got you, fam. I'm going to dedicate my one annual Facebook post to remembering classic Charlie quotes.

I'm going to need to collect some real bangers. I want to share the entirety of the man I know him to be.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 28 points 1 week ago

Don't forget to include the vids of when he accidentally "debates" people that were actually prepared

That's cool, we'll rename it to Fascist Fountain day later on.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

Remember kids, the midterms are only a year away. If your Democrat is on this list, you need to find a new one!

We will once again be faced with (a) More Trump or (b) ???

Third-partiers, clock is running out!

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 22 points 1 week ago

Third parties are irrelevant. They have failed continuously for over a hundred years. How is someone going to build an effective 50 state organization, find and vet candidates that won't betray us in office, raise awareness with absolutely no old media coverage and social media that buries them, then win an election in 14 months? There are some solid progressives running in Democratic primaries, and they are the ones that need resources.

I don’t understand why any Dem would even bother voting on this. Just abstain or don’t show up for the vote. What could they possibly gain from a yes vote?

Showing their trues Colors

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

I would understand not wanting to bother to vote because dumb but i prefer they go and vote against.

The left has been remembering Charlie Kirk for the past week and a half - the right hasn't seemed to enjoy it very much.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

No one should forget his literal quotes. He should be remembered for the christofascist he is. Women shouldn't be allowed to attend his funeral because they should be barefoot and pregnant at home.

So they want the memes every year, loud and clear!

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I figure they intentionally picked a day that is coming up soon, instead of using the day he died to ensure everyone still has their feathers ruffled and see if they can instigate another murder they can capitalize on

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 34 points 1 week ago

Haha they picked his birthday becuase it's right around the corner because they knew no one is gonna remember that piece of dirt next year.

[-] nanoswarm9k@lemmus.org 13 points 1 week ago

They want a spark date in October to take another shot at starting the war. They may hype it up and encourage big maga gatherings, to powder the keg, as it were.

I'm actually down for this. Dead Nazi Day!!

Who wants to play a round of shoot-the-neck-off-the-piñazi?!

I'll bring drinks.

[-] f1error@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Yeah! Oct 14 ~~kill~~ punch a Nazi day!

A whole day to remember the Epstein files? Seems like overkill when they could just release them.

October 14 as "release the Epstein Files day" seems like an odd alternative to simply releasing them.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

More like national day of celebrating his death, hopefully.

Start organizing protests and building effigies to burn.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago

This is going to backfire on the GOP in spectacular fashion.

The DNC... well that depends on if Americans keep voting them back in.

Please Americans, run for office or support someone new to politics running for office!!

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If they control TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and every TV channel can have their license revoked for saying anything that can be misconstrued as against Trump... I fear it won't matter much who runs. Their will be ads everywhere lying about them and guiding the public into not showing up to the polls to elect someone he doesn't like, and if all else fails he'll just have the electors faked and pardon the people he asks to fake them before leaving office this time.

Then the next president he chose just threatens the states who try to place state charges against those people

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 22 points 1 week ago

This means paid time off for US workers…. Right… right?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

wow I didn't expect them to make it a whole celebration but ok if you ask for it

I think I just discovered a way to make more holidays

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

But I thought it was in remembrance of what would have been George Floyd’s 47th birthday on October 14th. I think they messed up and should fix it.

This is a day off protest against Nazi correct? Right!

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago

Sure, remind every lawmaker who this guy really was every year on George Floyd’s birthday.

Sherrill

The Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey if anyone was wondering.

Here's the contact email for her campaign: info@mikiesherrill.com

Maybe tie it to 50% off rifle scopes and a free marksmanship lesson. In memory of why we celebrate this day.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

in response, I propose September 10th as a day of celebration

I plan to celebrate George Floyd’s birthday instead since it’s on the same day.

Old Jesus was too woke and empathetic. Remember new Jesus, and not the Epstein files He demanded be released.

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

October 14th, rifle day at the range.
