This kind of bullshit worked the first time, why not try it again??

7 years ago there were at least some gay/lesbian people who actually bought into the nonsense that Trump was friendly to their cause.

This was all part of his larger misinformation campaign which was flooding various social media sites. The FBI has been warning us about this for years now but it seems like no really takes it seriously and everything thinks they will not be affected. Bad actors spreading propaganda was all over Reddit, and I have little doubt it is here on Lemmy too.

These are all the exact same arguments from 2016.

[-] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Those arguments never went away. Russia is working with the GOP to spread as much misinformation as before, and with election season ramping up, it is only going to get more intense.

Any time someone refers to transgender people as "transgenders" or uses "trans" as a noun you immediately know they are bigots.

I don't think that's a great way to look at things

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Yep was going to say don't get fooled twice LGBT friends he claimed to be on your side last time and look where they got us

Can it be gaslighting when it’s this obvious, at this point?

[-] some_guy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

As in, he’s setting fire to the roads they built over the last few years?

So it seems to be republicans trying to sway republicans away from trump, but without sending them to a particular candidate.

[-] paintbucketholder@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Says a lot about the Republican party when an attack on Trump for being too "trans-friendly" doesn't even point to a specific candidate, because they're all a bunch of transphobic, homophobic, "anti-woke" extremists... doesn't it?
