*All politicians behind closed doors

[–] JesterIzDead@lemm.ee 27 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The average Republican…too fucking dumb to realize they’re advocating for the very people standing on their necks

[–] Lemming421@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Because they think they’re helping stand on other people’s necks, and that’s just fine in their book.

Then they act all surprised with the “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!” when it happens.

Pretty sure OP isn't Republican, just radical left and dislikes anyone not as far left as they are. Ironic that it's hard to differentiate between far right and far left sometimes

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Not as evil as they want. They can be just as evil as "a little bit better than the other villains", and not any bit more.

Besides, nobody believes they are the good guys.

"as long as we stay 5% less evil we can call ourselves the good guys and call people who think genocide is bad the real villains for not supporting genocide"

Not "good guys", but "lesser evil". And people are correct.

It would almost be funny if not for the whole “fate of American democracy” thing.

Sure, the Democrats are Doctor Evil and his minions. But the Republicans are literally Hitler and the nazis.

Vote accordingly.

I plan to, which pisses off Doctor Evil's Democrats.

Can't really expect anything else from a person that's on a pro-tankie instance. Almost every time someone starts this both sides nonsense, it's lemygrad, lemmy.ml, or hexbear.

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say that OP might be from the USA.

[–] Aphelion@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

My money is that OP is from Russia. That government wants as much division and dessent as they can get, and they have a professional cyber ops organization.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago

This is sadly very standard right-wing stuff. OP actually thinks he's being funny and "totally owning the libs".

[–] 0x2d@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

russia is doing a war right now. why would they spend resources posting on a tiny forum?

[–] Sas@beehaw.org 0 points 5 months ago

Because depending on the election result either their opponent gets weapons delivered or they might get them

[–] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 months ago

Most people are as evil as they want.

That is to say, not a lot.

There's so much to unpack with all these memes you post

[–] CaptainKickass@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Are they actually on the doors? That makes it extra believable.

Fuck this BOTH SIDES argument. It's bullshit, comrade. 😎
