I blocked like 10 communities that post US politics non stop. All with the same core message, some dont even have politics in their name. This one is called “Microblog Memes”, why do you all post the same us politics slob in here. And further, why does the machine think its worthwhile to spam lemmy of all places with this shit.
We are on the verge of a theocratic dictatorship
Kind of important
Our presidential election is coming up this fall and we are on the ledge of losing our democracy depending on the outcome. It’s kinda on our minds quite a bit.
no offence or anything, this is not some democracy superhero vs evil dictator doomsday show off. Its a bunch of political candidates up for election with different policies. Its really misleading and unhealthy to assume your world is doomed if the candidate you support is not going to win. Same as it is believing that if your candidate wins you somehow managed to accomplish a heroic deed. The hardened polarization of the 2 camps in the USA gets worse and worse each cycle.
Wow thank you for the unsolicited opinion. Why are posting this thinking we are interested? Isn’t that awfully hypocritical after your first rant?
The ethical choice would have been to treat us to your smug, privileged silence, so do try to be better next time, k? 🙏
Curious how old you are.
For someone that’s been around the block a bit there hasn’t been a candidate that’s been so openly authoritarian about bypassing our democracy for his whims and punishing his political opponents in decades.
2008 with Obama v McCain? Maybe you could make that argument. McCain was a patriot that loved his country even if we didn’t share the same views. Not Trump though. Trump has to be stopped.
This is also just as a white guy.
If you’re a women you’ve gone back in rights from 50 years ago.
If you’re a minority Trump actively hates and oppresses you.
If you’re gay Republicans actively works to disenfranchise and deny who you are.
If you’re trans the meds you need are actively at risk.
One of the candidates literally wants to be a dictator and remove the semblance of democracy. He has already tried once (at least). They are not the same, stop spreading that lie
If the political posts are as common as you pretended they were then you’d know everything you just typed is fucking stupid and wrong
One candidate did an insurrection, says explicitly he will be a dictator, and asked for a Long Knife which he was granted.
You are absolutely right. I also think you might not be aware of how close to fascism the US is. It really is one political party very clearly saying this, and making public a plan for how to do so, which might very well work.
It absolutely does. We need to fix it very badly. And we will have 0 chance of that with the current Maga candidate if they get back into office. This time it does matter greatly to keep the self imagined god-king from getting anywhere near our presidency again if we hope to have any chance of a future reform. As soon as those votes get tallied in Nov and he is out, I’m back to burn it all till you take out the electoral college and give us better options for election choices.
What a disgustingly myopic and privileged take.
I love that lemmy shows upvotes and downvotes seperatly
JD Vance political career will be over if Trump doesn’t win.
At this point I’m thinking he’s actually a double agent.
He’s secretly a democrat and sacrificing himself to ensure Trump doesn’t make it.I think it’s worse. I think he represents a large minority of people who agree with him and just don’t say it aloud. He’s on the ticket in hopes of trump dying in office so they can push this hyper-religious and ridiculous agenda.
Their only mistake was not realizing how unpalatable their ideas are to the rest of the country. If they understood that, they’d have sent a better liar.
A large majority? Are you serious?
Reread the words
Whoops. Apologies.
These religious weirdos are entirely incapable of not being weird about their religion though. Mike Johnson manages to keep most of his extremism under wraps, but even he for some ridiculous reason decided to talk about his son monitoring his porn habits. They just live in bizarroville and don’t know how utterly weird they are to the vast majority of people.
Ingraham is a ghoul and Vance is an inexplicably married incel.
Together, they combine to create! Asshole-Person
🎶all the wrong things🎶
JD Vance: Keep abortion banned, because 🎶 surprises let you know He cares! 🎵
Yes, this is a “normal” response from a “normal” person, who thinks everyone is as “normal” as them
And by normal things, he means weird things.
Agreed! Killing Children, which is what Republicans see Abortion as, is NO BIG DEAL!
Vance really looks like Rush Limbaugh with a beard. And I mean a real beard, not the kind Rush had: a trophy wife with a 10-year prenup to disguise his pedophilia.
weird
I wonder how “normal” JD would think bodily autonomy was if he suddenly lost his?

Someone will have to take one for the team and breed JD Vance
I guarantee you Vance would fucking love mpreg hentai.
deleted by creator
I’m not criticizing him by saying he’d like mpreg.
I wish he would just enjoy tf and mpreg smut instead of channeling his bullshit on to the rest of us.
Correct. It’s ok for him to have a thing for couches. It’s not ok for him to disenfranchise women of their agency to make a choice for their own lives and bodies.
you go get a speculum, I’ll grab the turkey baster.
Just put some chocolate and a rubber on the couch and let jd take his course…
“castrate all couch fuckers”
Almost immediately after Vance got the nod, I hit on a description for the way he appeared to me. At the time, it was necessarily based on very little info, so mostly I posted it because I liked the imagery - I admittedly wasn’t sure how accurate it really was.
Imagine that life is a roleplaying game, and in every interaction, one chooses from a set of possible responses.
And imagine that each response is labeled, so there’s the kind response or the neutral response or the angry response or whatever.
It’s as if, in every situation, J.D. Vance chooses the asshole response.
It’s actually sort of surprising to me how accurate that has proven to be. .
Or it can be like mass effect and you choose the option that just says “no thanks” but you’re character is a massive cunt for no reason at all and is like “no fucking thanks you asshole. I’m gonna kill you and wear your face as a mask.” And you’re just left wondering where the hell that came from lol
One of my problems with Mass Effect, tbh. The breaking point though was when in Mass Effect 2 you’re forced to work for fascists
I think it’s weirder that Shepard is just welcomed back into the alliance military in ME3 as if you didn’t just spend a large chunk of time out gallivanting with a terrorist organization
“I’m playing an evil character!”
No you’re not, your character is just a dick.
Also like Fable, he makes a lot of tall promises he has no intention of keeping.
Vance is an NPC with his assholery level set to very high.
God he’s just Nazeem.
“Do you get to the Yale campus very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don’t.”
He’s a fucking asshole
Totally normal thing to say, nothing weird here folks!
JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on
JD Vance puts mustard on his pizza, pass it on
JD Vance washes his hands after showering pass it on
JD Vance sticks his dick into pudding cups, pass it on.
JD Vance only pees sitting down pass it on
JD Vance puts foreigner Dijon mustard on his pizza, pass it on.
While wearing a tan suit.
JD Vance uses a metal flipper when making eggs in a Teflon nonstick pan then immediately cleans it with cold running water in the pan straight from the stovetop because he enjoys the sizzle pass it on
JD Vance uses bleach on colored fabrics pass it on
Sounds a pretty weird thing to do, so it must be true
Regressives gonna try to regress.
