Ah, if only Republican terrorists were actually treated as terrorists.

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 75 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can't treat white people like terrorists!

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 73 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, not white conservatives, at least. White leftists you can abuse to your hearts content.

[–] Cerbero@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They always scream about the radial left and never of the radical right whom are actually fucking up ppls lives.

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man, they're so right wing they hate turning left.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Funny thing is Nascar only turns left, so they had to mirror the image to keep these people happy

It’s still somewhat mind-blowing how dumb all of that was/is.

There’s a 13yo leading the JFK cult. You can’t get stupider than the people who latched onto the Q movement.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago (2 children)

… don’t say that.

The moment you say “can’t get stupider than…” the world says “hold my beer”

Remember when everybody thought Bush Jr was a dumbass, how tame those days were compared to today.

People actually downvoted this.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Some people still actually believe that trump is a good person, despite no evidence at all to support that belief.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is the actual take.

They'll point ot the Bible. Noah was a drunk; King David killed a man to get at his wife; Solomon had thousands of concubines.

God often picks bad men to do his works.

Once conservative christians discover that there's a new testament, they'll blow a fucking gasket.

I agree with Ernie, but I don't like to think of him talking this way.

Never meet your heroes, folks

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

He's sick of Bert's shit. I'd be the same way.

If it's one thing I miss from R. It's /r/bertstrips

If only I could read uwu

Could someone explain the Kraken reference?

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe Trump's legal team was referred to as the Kraken. They were going to be a powerful force if only there had been any facts to support their claims.

[–] foofy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It was from Sidney Powell. She filed some baseless lawsuit regarding the election and claimed she was going to "release the kraken".

I think the Q crowd latched on to that and it was just particularly hashtag-able.

[–] vynlwombat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought this was talking about sports teams at first
