Draft dodging piece of shit tries telling me, a left leaning veteran of the US Marine Corps, that I am vermin...on veteran's day. Yeah, get fucked, asshole.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 49 points 11 months ago

I feel like he forgets we vowed to defend this nation against domestic enemies. Yeah my weapons are my voice and my vote instead of an M-16 (been out a long while), but I will still defend this country with every fiber of my being.

[-] teft@startrek.website 48 points 11 months ago

Seconded by a left leaning army veteran.

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

“This vermin must be destroyed. The Jews are our sworn enemies, and at the end of this year there will not be a Jew left in Germany.” — Hitler, 1939

“We will root out the Communists, Marxists … and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within … our country.” — Trump, today

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 64 points 11 months ago

Not just that, Hitler also wanted leftist purged.. and did. Because leftists were the primary group opposing him.

[-] theuberwalrus@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

The Nazis started with the leftists.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 47 points 11 months ago

I think people are misinterpreting your comment as "the Nazis originated from leftists" versus what I think you meant, that the Nazis went after leftists first after getting into power.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

Before. They were in street brawls with leftists early on and they consolidated power in the night of long knives by killing their left flank and “sexual deviant” members. When they came to power they built the camps for criminals and justified mass executions using the disabled and “sexual deviants”.

And sexual 'deviants'.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 111 points 11 months ago

“Let’s find a middle ground with republicans” - Every out of touch undecided voter.

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

"Look, Trump wants 100% of the power and to send 100% of the people on the left into camps. Why don't you compromise by giving him 50% of the power and then he'll only send 50% of you to camps? ... Now he has 50% and wants 100%, you should compromise and give him 75%..."

(And I say this as someone who thinks compromise can be a useful political tool. But only when the group you're compromising with is bargaining in good faith. The Republicans of today - and certainly MAGAs like Trump - aren't bargaining in good faith.)

But he's being taken out of context!1! /s

[-] teft@startrek.website 50 points 11 months ago

The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within.

I never thought I'd agree with the Orange Bellend but here we are. I guarantee we're referring to different people though.

[-] catfish@programming.dev 15 points 11 months ago

Thats always his thing, he tried to interfere with the election? the prosecution is election interference. He committed fraud in NY? The GA is the fraud.. Hes the worst threat of our times against democracy? No the people pointing it out are the actual threat, lmao. And so on its always somewhere in his whinny drivel. Impressive

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

I'd love for these asshats to be made to define what they mean by a "Communist", etc.

[-] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

My very conservative mother (who I no longer speak to) once got mad at Amazon, as in Amazon.com the capitalist empire, and said that they were "the most communist thing ever." Communists are whoever makes you mad or whoever the alt right media claims they are. Or something like that.

Ah yes, more dehumanizing language from the person threatening to deploy the military against the people, and to put people he's dehumanized into massive camps. What could go wrong?

Edit: just a reminder that Hitler's rose to power by promising to make Germany great again.

People - most especially the corporate media - had better start waking the fuck up and stop presenting the election of 2024 as if it's a normal one. There is much more on the line than a GD horse race here.

This asshole means to do real damage to this country if he manages to slime his way into office again.

[-] markr@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

Corporate media like corporate everything else, is just fine with fascism as long as they can continue to extract rent from the peasants.

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

I doubt they'll be immune to Trump's rampage if he gets back into office. He'll be out for the blood of anyone who ever reported on him in a negative way. CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, etc will likely have their offices raided due to criminal prosecutions. The crime? Criminal defamation of Lord Trump.

But in true "First they came for" fashion, they'll keep acting as though this is all normal until they get rounded up. Then, they'll expect the rest of us to stand up for them. Sadly, by that point, we'll likely be in camps/prisons ourselves.

Corporate media won't profit from that though. They stand to gain a lot more by letting horrible things happen then fear mongering us into more views.

Genocide is temporary. Corporations are forever.

But seriously, everyone should be getting louder. Don't wait for someone else to expose hateful rhetoric

How is this not inciting violence and hatred?

[-] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

It's certainly making me want to commit violence. Just not against who he is intending.

Fuck the republican traitor filth. Come for me and I promise you it won’t end well. For you.

Might as well mock a physically handicapped person to cement your win while you're at it, Donny. We know how much your supporters love it when you mock physically disabled people.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
