Little did they expect the black, gay, trans Muslim, with Chinese heritage, who was a former MS13 member, but who also got out of it and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to start a career in science.

Panic grips the RNC, people screaming, foaming at the mouth, scrawling "the end is near" in the blood of an intern on the wall. Pure chaos.

This person chooses to support Donald Trump, and they're temporarily okay

This comment made me wonder what happened to Caitlyn Jenner. I mean not enough to look it up but still wonder.

[-] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

You got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She's a good candidate for !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world.

Aaaannnnd she's already there, lol.

[-] GhostFence@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

LOL didn't see that coming! /jk

This is actually quite progressive. For decades they only blamed blacks, then also a few decades gays and "communists". And now they actually have a new thing every year. They are moving forward with society, always staying up to date. It's like conservatism, but for the fresh cool kids.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 months ago

We're still getting blamed often. I haven't in a month or two, but normally I listen to a podcast called Knowledge Fight which critically analyzes Alex Jones and a few similar grifters in a taking them in full context way(generally outlets miss the truly heinous stuff Jones says for quick soundbites, and he uses it as a defense to his audience).

Now you may think ol AJ isn't relevant, but you still see right wing talking points come either early on his show or he repeats them quickly. He keeps basically a "rogues gallery" of people to blame for whatever, and BLM, Jessie Smollet, Obama aren't always on the list, but at least one of them shows back up monthly, along with Antifa, Soros, Klaus Schwab, communism, Bill Gates, vaccines, trans people, gay people, China, etc

It's not that they stopped blaming black people (and never stopped blaming queer people), it's that they have so many buzz words to swap us out on rotation. They haven't forgotten though. They still hate us.

As a policy wonk, I approve this message.

(i love you)

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

What about the satanic panic, dugs, teen STDs (ok that one is fine to be worried about), violent video games, rock music...

My parents listened to conservative talk radio non-stop when I was a kid. I still remember listening to Micheal Savage scream about small meatballs at the restaurant being a liberal conspiracy and knowing how full of shit he was. I was about 11.

[-] rambaroo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

This isn't even true though. They attacked Mexicans for marijuana usage back in the 30s, they blamed AIDS on gay people, etc.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The 24 hour hate cycle.

This is the true state of the union: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvGmOZ5T6_Y

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 9 months ago

I don’t consider this a shitpost.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

I've been thinking about it and it doesn't really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I'm going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @GhostFence@lemmy.world, this isn't really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn't especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.

[-] GhostFence@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Understood!

2024 - Mexicans at the border (you know it’s already happening)

[-] III@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Issues at the border are only during presidential election year and it will never be for the whole year as the day after voting, conservatives stop mentioning it.

[-] cygon@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

While I'm in none of these groups, having survived the rock'n roll-, black mass- / satanic(1)-, killer videogame-, terrorism-, social justice- / SJW-, safe space-, socialism-/communism-, antifa-, cabal-, satanic(2)-, CRT- and woke-panic, I feel underrepresented.

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 20 points 9 months ago

Actually, 2020 was the Chinese and county clerks (who typically handle elections). 2023 was trans people and librarians.

Turns out bigots can multitask.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

God, I remembered Asian hate. I remembered getting yelled at in Chinatown by a bunch of black people. Yo, we are sorta on the same team man. I didn't create covid. I'm just here trying to survive, just like you.

[-] ComradeR@lemmy.ml 20 points 9 months ago

2025 - People with disabilities (?)

I don't know let's see in the next year.

[-] GhostFence@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Please do not give them ideas.

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They don't need them, I'm fairly certain the new thing to hate/fear is just taken from a raffle ticket out of a pile of different minority groups.

For a party that thinks itself as a pillar of strength and power ..... they sure do spend a lot of their time in perpetual fear.

[-] maniclucky@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Discovery was IMHO the most inferior Star Trek, but they nailed this idea when they described the Terran empire. This strong, incontrovertibly evil, imperial monster was born of, and lives on fear. A version of humanity that gave up on trust or hope and became the worst version of themselves.

I felt it was leaning too hard into the grimdark and action for my liking. But that's just my opinion, and there's lots of room for taste. My husband's favorite is Voyager and I think that one is less well regarded so to each thier own.

See they're barking up the wrong tree with gays and trans. No middle class conservative white family ever had their kid sit them down and say "mom, dad, I'm black"

Rachel Dolezal and Nuka Zeus would like to have a word with you..

2025: poor people (i think they already fear that one)

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago

There's a kind of always a constant undercurrent of hatred for the lower class with them. I wonder how far the GOP can push that before their voters realize they're the butt of the joke.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

"To get elected, pick a marginalized group and blame them for your constituent's problems."

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Gays got pounded even before 2016. W and his marry men of assholes were going after gays and gay marriage during his term.

Actually now that I think about it I'm pretty sure Republicans were scapegoating gays as far back as Reagan.

Ah yes, the shitpost meme community, that's exactly where I should post my very deep, thought provoking political content

[-] Fisch@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago

In case you didn't know, political jokes are a thing and they're not that rare

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I know what a political joke is, and most people don't go to shitpost communities to find them

Have we forgotten they wanted to sacrifice the old people to save the economy during covid.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

With privatization of Medicare coming if Trumpert and company win they are STILL willing to sacrifice the old.

[-] BeardedSingleMalt@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Other old people...they get free top notch healthcare for life while saying healthcare isn't a right

More likely DEI. (Blacks, again.)

[-] KirinMizuki@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No, because they will get old.
