They would love that though, fascist dream uniforms are always covered in medals like soviets.

Just realized this guy reminds me of Dale Gribble.

I think they need to march on Washington and demand the files be released. Go straight to the capitol building and just walk in like they did last time they didn’t get what they wanted. I mean obviously nothing bad happened las time because all those folks were pardoned because it was all a hoax. They weee peacefully touring the building.

Anyway, they should do that again.

Getting Played is the only thing MAGA is good at. Relationships, politics, cars, you name it.

They love to scream about how cool they are, but they don't realize the whole world is laughing at them.

Proudest marks on the planet.

RAM Trucks have entered the chat.

Tell how democrats are any different?

They are less likely to support backward social policies. They are closer to moderate than right on fiscal policies. They are similar to the world political majority on international policies.

Same just not as loud

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh, wild. I expected them to put the investigation of Trump's molesting teenagers above any party power-plays. Nobody could have predicted that they'd protect a rapist just because he does everything they've been wanting to do for fifty years.

If you bite the coattails you're riding, you're gonna get goose shit in your mouth.

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

These MFers have gotten played for over 15 years. At this point the US should start investing in mental health based state hospitals because these people's brains dont work. Im not trying to be funny or malicious ... it is very sad, they have something wrong with them. Trump derangment syndrome is a real thing ... just not how MAGA thinks it is.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's called propaganda, and they are so deep in the Kool-aid their ears are blue.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

They've been planning this for longer than 15 years. The Citizens United ruling just allowed them to put it into turbo mode and here we are. This is what happens when you legalize bribary.

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Now remember that Carter wanted better mental healthcare, and Reagan nixed it

why do journalists keep referring to Twitter as X?

it's just not going to happen, and you lose credibility

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

If you hate Musk, call it “X.”

X has poorer brand recognition and poorer brand sentiment than Twitter.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago

Because it changed its name... like what would be the point of calling it Twitter when it's literally x.com now?

How do you lose credibility for calling a product by its name? What do you mean it's not going to happen? It's already happened. You can call it a stupid rebrand (I agree), but you can't pretend it didn't happen... Twitter doesn't exist anymore.

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

What do you call posts on this platform? Is it tweets? It is isn't it? So yeah, its still twitter.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

They mean that replacing "Twitter" with "X" isn't going to change in the common vernacular.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yes it is, it has... The verb tweet isn't going away, no one is going to seriously "x" line no one is going to bing anything, but that has nothing to do with the product itself anymore. A Kleenex just means tissue paper to most people, and a tweet is a short message on a Twitter inspired platform... You tweet on x now, because that's literally the product's name.

[-] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

I will never call Facebook by another name.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It's still called Facebook... The parent company changed names, you refusing to call Facebook the product of meta is just silly... Meta is the evil corporation that makes Facebook.

Elon bought Twitter and changed it to x, you refusing to call it by its old name doesn't change that fact and doesn't change it back to Twitter magically. It's weird, but whenever.

Do you refuse to call Walmart anything but Walton's? Do you refuse to say Firefox because it shall forever be Firebird? Do you refer to the iPhone as the product of Apple Computers?

Products change names, get over it.

That's where things are at for now; anything the GOP does to try to make it go away will make it worse.

Yes, people are leaving MAGA over this, and many others are less vocal than they were. Not everyone, but MAGA doesn't have to shrink much before it's no longer a political force.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It doesn't matter whether or not people "leave MAGA" , it matters how they vote. Are they fed up enough with it all that they would vote for a "Liberal"? Even one who's not at all Liberal , but just has a "D" after their name? If not, then their "leaving MAGA" is just a temper tantrum with no practical effect.

[-] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

They aren’t leaving MAGA, they’re leaving the GOP. They still want to do project 2025, etc.

And I still don’t think they actually believe Trump is involved.

But yes about the voting thing. However, the dems have lost a crap tonne, so it might even out. :(

[-] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago

They have no power without the GOP. It's the same reason that the American Green Party has no power, just from the opposite side.

[-] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Haha Green Party. I forgot all about those Ruskies.

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If I click this, am I again going to find that "maga turns on Republicans" is again just three or four angry magas on Truth Social or X?

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

George Bush..... Foo foo fool me a one hundred and seventy third time.... You can't fool me again... Yeah that's a saying we have in Texas.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 week ago

That was actually a rare moment of quick thinking on his part. The media would have loved to have a sound bite of him saying, "shame on me."

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

It’s hard to say how that would have played out. You defend it by saying “that’s a common saying I was quoting.” And see how long that plays out in the news cycle. Yet here we are 20+ years later joking about his stumbling over this simple expression. Is that better or worse than if the news had the “shame on me” sound bite on repeat for a few days? Which we most likely would not be talking about right now? I don’t know.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
