Don't be like Hannity. If you find yourself lying to support your view, change your view.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But then how will I support my view that I'm the world's greatest lover?

[–] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would maybe have believe "in Japan" squid Man, don't be greedy.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That settles it. There's only one way to prove this: take off your pants and bend over.

[–] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do I look like several salary men on a train with a funnel to you?

Not a democrat, not really a republican either. Mostly just crazy.

  • Supports Trump 2016
  • Supports anyone but Trump 2020 - Briefly likes Bernie but then mainly has a parasocial relationship with Tulsi Gabbard (offers to write speeches, sends speeches to their email). Eventually gets on board with Biden Harris.
  • Somehow likes Kim Jong Un, has another parasocial relationship inviting to Hawaii and asking to be an ambassador.
  • Latches onto George Floyd protests supporting police reform.
  • Latches onto Hong Kong supporting independence. Again reaching out to be a kind of diplomat in a parasocial relationship with Carrie Lam and including his phone number and email. He does that a lot.
  • Latches onto supporting Ukraine. Has a parasocial relationship with Zelenskyy. Goes there and volunteers to help recruit eventually but people thought he was nuts over there. Kept offering to provide thousands of Afghan soldiers?
  • Asks Elon Musk about selling him a rocket to attack Putin...
  • Latches onto Taiwan supporting independence. Again offering thousands of Afghan soldiers.
  • Writes a book telling Iran they should assassinate Trump.
  • Believes China has a pneumonia bioweapon it's using to silence democracy
  • This election his dream ticket was Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley (and yet Ramaswamy is not pro Ukraine while Haley is so I'm not sure why he'd want Haley as the VP)

That too, but more importantly, he wasn't a registered Democrat. Which is what makes you a Democrat.

[–] Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 month ago (6 children)

That's really a terrible way to make that assessment. I'm registered as a Republican in my state so I can vote in their primary, but that doesn't reflect who I actually support.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How do you think the parties count their numbers?

[–] Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 month ago (5 children)

That's moderately useful for statistics purposes, but that's all. It does not mean every individual person who registers as Republican believes in Republican values and votes for Republicans. Nor is it a complete list, plenty of states don't require registration for primaries so there are lots of people who don't bother declaring either way.

That would be inconvenient to Trump's claims except that the truth doesn't matter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you train your base to be militant whenever they don't get their way, you can be assured that you will always be on the chopping block. Look up the French revolution. Or even the fascist uprisings in Germany and Italy. I fighting will happen because you created an environment in which decent is punishable with death.

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

"descent"; being decent is luckily not punishable with death 😂

edit: I'm an idiot. It's "dissent". Going down a cave is not punishable by death either. English is hard.

These fucks are bitching about this while their candidates openly encourage domestic terrorism against Haitians.

Fuck 'em.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

they also called the jan 6th people "antifa".

The funniest possible outcome is if Biden pardoned the dude.

The undecided voters this year have really been deciding with a vengeance

This latest guy having a ton of Ukraine posts is probably also part of them being like "he's a democrat"- there's even a picture of him with blue hair

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I just saw someone on Gab insist that Thomas Crooks was a registered Democrat...

They have to shelter their base from the truth. ☺️

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Person: Votes for Trump. Republicans: A Democrat!

Anyways even though Hannity is LYING about Assassination attempts can DEMOCRATS please tone down Their Rhetoric?
