So who's going to come up with a brump emoji that blends Kamala with trump?

[-] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago

I don’t recommend it for various reasons.

[-] copandballtorture@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

Maybe Kamala doing some type of trump expression (pursed lips) in a red hat, you know, if we had to

there's a shop of her face onto Trump that was posted on hexbear right after the Vice President Trump comment but I have never been able to find it again

Libs, once scratched, are fascists? shocked-pikachu

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 45 points 1 month ago

She didn't get scratched she's just like that all the time

True true..more like mask off.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

The benzos are wearing off.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

She wasn't wearing a mask, either. This is "plain light of day" girlboss mussolini.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

Is she going to build the wall on top of the existing wall? Behind it? below it?!?!

[-] booty@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

They're just gonna keep building walls till we're all walled off in Canada and the former US is but a series of walls

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

All that will be left is to close the gates and fill it with water.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't be silly

She'll build the new 'border crossing reduction superstructure' in front of the old 'wall'. That way, we can admire how it is Democrat approved, built with ethically sourced materials, funded by small donors only, constructed by local, highly graded contractors, and designed to be aesthetically pleasing

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

And they'll paint a rainbow flag on it for pride month!

[-] miz@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

liberals don't really have beliefs

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago

Could not possibly have a cop come to this conclusion nowai

I guess it was only un-American to get Mexico to pay for it. If the American taxpayers pay for it it's a-OK apparently.

[-] RION@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

"☝️🤓 um akshually she's saying she'd sign the ♥️✨ bipartisan border bill™✨♥️, which is merely extending the timeline to use funds already appropriated for the wall!"

The purpose of a system is what it does fuckheads!!!

Don't act like your hands are tied into supporting border apartheid because of a bill that never even got through congress. If Kamala's going to bratboss her way into the presidency and take downballot Dems into congress alongside her can't you just make a better bill that doesn't do this shit?

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 27 points 1 month ago

The first Gen X presidential hopeful turns out to be not so full of hope.

quelle surprise

She was born in '64 so she's like tail end boomer. Whatever the equivalent to a zillenial is for boomers/X.

It's mind-boggling to me how fake the border is. One of the central political footballs of US domestic politics for... I don't even know how long. As long as I've been alive. All the sweat, all the ink spilled, the dems constantly tacking rightwards on the issue, the untold millions of people immiserated, news cycles yammering about it endlessly. And for what? Just naked racism? Who does a "strong border" benefit, exactly? What does it even mean? Some other political bullshit, like being "Tough on Crime" or the "War on Drugs" I can see the twisted logic where you could convince regular Americans that those things were good for them. The only cogent logic I've ever heard about the border is that, apparently, back when Labor was strong they wanted strict controls on the border and immigration because they feared employers would replace them with slaves. Not that I agree with that, but I can see a logic at work there.

I suppose I could see where somebody who doesn't know that cartels aren't real could buy that the intersection of the war on drugs and the southern border represents some legitimate threat to their safety. But I'm pretty sure I read once that most drugs come in on boats and planes and commercial trucks (and is being done so at the behest of state apparatuses i.e. CIA, cops, DEA, etc.).

I could see where, if you gave a shit about illegal border crossers and lived in a border state then that would be a humanitarian crisis, but that's never what the news or the politicos are talking about when they talk about the border.

It's like in America we talk in a nonsense language about made up bullshit that then translates into the mass deprivation of huge swathes of humanity. Of course most of the common political talking points in this country are bullshit, but the border in particular seems almost entirely abstract in terms of the rhetoric surrounding it.

[-] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 month ago

The reason is because the contradictions of USA imperialism in South America actually threaten to create material conditions that undo America as mass displacement pushes people directly impacted by US foreign policy into the domestic sphere. The wall, in essence, is a necessary component of the Monroe Doctrine in its advanced stages.

It’s frustrating how many libs act like voting Kamala will mean less deportations. This is a case where both candidates are the same.
