These are your people libs

These feckless dicks who no longer even trot out something like 'immigrants built America', and instead nakedly, instantly agree to compromise with the party backing a guy who literally quotes Hitler

And they're 'compromising' so that they can send more guns to Ukrainian skinheads (and European black markets by proxy since they don't get tracked at all) and to Israel so they can ~~ethnically cleanse Palestinians~~ fight Hamas

They used to have a facade, they don't even bother any longer

Fuckin make that Schumer quote a site tagline

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Republicans: they’re poisoning our white blood

Democrats: they’re poisoning our American blood

Totally different things but tankies will act as if they’re the same

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

chefs-kiss nailed it. Libs legitimately believe this.

Theres not a border crisis and never has been (except for the US doing crimes against people at the border of course, but i mean what the media calls "the border crisis"). And the fact it doesn't exist can never be acknowledged, because libs and fascists bith believe in it regardless

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

2 parties with identical policies but one of them is openly racist while the other is kind of ashamed of appearing racist so it tries to conceal it in public.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Listen, if one party is 100% Hitler and one is 99% Hitler, you're obliged to vote for 99% Hitler I don't make the rules

At least that's what some lib told me while they were busy helping clean their grandad's Nazi uniform

this is just “hitler comparing Jewish people to rats is despicable but we do have a problem with Jewish economic control and the SPD knows we have to solve that problem, but in keeping w our principles”

How do Democrats still not understand that giving concessions to the "merits" of fascist rhetoric (like they're doing with trans people as well) will never make people think you're more "reasonable", and will always further normalize hatred? Or do they understand it and that's exactly why they're doing it? They've done it so many times that it has to be a conscious decision at this point, right?

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

I think they're ultimately indifferent to the hatred, and just want the easiest way to maintain the status quo and their position within it.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

because they're high on diet fascism

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Polite fascism vs crass vulgar fascism

Because they agree with the fascists. The only thing they don't agree with is the rhetoric. They hate the aesthetics of the right, but they want the same things. Libs just feel guilty about it. Libs affectations and rhetoric is only about assuaging their guilt.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

That's about where I'm at.

Democrats have very thoroughly exhausted their benefit of the doubt. Maybe I just think too highly of them somehow but I don't believe they're really completely incapable of developing an electoral strategy with decades of real time feedback on what doesn't work.

At a certain point if somebody keeps jumping on the same rake in the same place everyday you start to realize they should be able to avoid that by now.

They'd rather lose appealing to moderates than let progressives into the same building as the levers of power.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lmfao but we must vote for them or else the fascist wins!

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

VOTE FOR THE POLITE LEGAL FASCISM OR ELSE THE BOORISH AND RUDE FASCISM WILL WIN

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

"Boorish and rude (but also totally legal, weird how that works out) fascism"

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

maybe-later-kiddo: "As you can see, we have to give the GOP everything that they want or they will simply take it!"

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I hate that this is literally true

[–] TupamarosShakur@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

they're not poisoning the blood they're just invading our white nation

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is offtopic, but the way that people whitewash the Weimar Republic by talking about Hitler like he was a wizard who cast a spell on Germany doesn't just have the effect of obscuring the political-economic conditions of fascism and its connection to long-standing European society, but further feeds into a fetishistic reverence for Hitler that encourages modern readers to hang off his every word to try to understand how the magic works, effectively working to spread his speeches even further than they would otherwise spread and lending a gravity to everything he says because, as far as many liberal histories were concerned, what he said was literally magic. It seems like a choice of characterization deliberately made so that the sins of the past can happen all the more easily for having already happened once, rather than protecting society from it using our past experience with it.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

the way that people whitewash the Weimar Republic by talking about Hitler like he was a wizard who cast a spell on Germany

Literally the plot of that flopped Harry Potter movie lol. This way of thinking obviously predates that, I think a lot of the bad WW2 pop-history is to blame.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

cast a spell on Germany... literally magic

In early 2017 I realized liberals and liberalism itself wasn't ever going to deal with the anger and frustration that gave rise to Trump. I knew in my bones that they were never going to consider why people like an out-of-work autoworker in a dying Rust Belt town would vote for Trump. The dems were just going to give speech after speech on themes like "This isn't who we are!" I have to admit I expected they would at least make passionate pleas and strident, forceful comments.

I wasn't clever enough to realize they'd be Schumer's level of bloodless and feckless before every election that this is the most important election of our lifetime. It's been almost seven years and there's been zero introspection by the dem machine. They're waiting and waiting and waiting for the public to snap out of their Trump spell and vote for democracy.

[–] RION@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Okay they're not poisoning the blood, but they're souring the lymph at the very least. In some cases even intoxicating the piss

I can't decide if this bile is diluted, polluted, or fouled.

Everyday I wake up and realize that we are going to go full fascist in America. Not with Trump but in 20-30 years we will be full-throated black-booted fascist and dipshit dems will mostly support it.

[–] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

full-throated black-booted fascism is already here, just not evenly distributed. And it'll stay unevenly distributed even after you're enveloped in it

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All liberals support fascism in some way

[–] Kaplya@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The difference is between scratched and unscratched, which isn’t much at all.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't when/how it will happen but I do know the dems will be flummoxed that nobody wanted FascismLite.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Arguing in committees about how the skulls on the Brownshirts' uniforms are a bit too overt

[–] IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

I will think about every time I got bashed and banned for saying that liberals need to arm up and be ready.

Turns out they were all pussies that WANT fascism. Must be thise Hugo Boss suits.

[–] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Way out in 20-30 years? I love me me an optimist.

There's a notable reply. Sweet mother of God - this is the longest single tweet I've ever seen.

It's ~3,330 words - Nitter

This is how a dictator gets elected and then rules for many years. Harken! Beware!

he's a wannabe angel-biblical

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Harken!

it's such a rare word that the first thing I thought of was GWB's Harken Energy scandal

This is the most...I just...

Cold hatred.

Its funny that Trump is still the president

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

What's Biden supposed to do??? He's only the president! You expect him to have the kind of power an ex-prsident has?? smuglord

"Also it just outrageous and he's doing it for political gain,” Sen Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, the first and only Latina senator, told The Independent, noting how Mr Trump’s own family includes immigrants. But when asked about negotiating on immigration, she dodged.

“I think it is important that we have Ukraine funding, Israel funding all of the above, and it needs to happen,” she told me.

:blm-bomber:

Sen Mark Kelly of Arizona, who won a full term in the Senate last year in a closely-watched race, told The Independent Mr Trump’s words were “a racist and xenophobic thing to say.” But when asked about the negotiations, he said the Senate needed to pass an immigration plan that could pass both chambers.

We're in a timeline where the overt fascist party is being lead by one of the dumbest mouthbreathers to ever walk this planet, and the 'opposition' party is just agreeing with his intentions (if not his words) wholeheartedly, Israel and Ukraine just being convenient cover for that.

Liberals should want to fedposting their representative's offices, but all they're gonna do is make some calls, write some letters, and tut-tut each other at brunch

You gotta vote for the democrats that constantly vocally say they agree with Trump or else Trump might win.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

What I would give for a jouranlist group to dig into all our current and recent past meddling in South and Central America, and who is funding and cordinating these massive migration chains. How much does our sanctions and meddling effect the conditions of the people living in these nations. Who exactly are the ones giving the orders? After all you had Musk blurt the quiet part out loud once "We will coup whoever we want!". These questions are ones the media dares not touch or if they do, are actively sensored.

They are root cause topics you never hear from congress critters mouths. It's always militaristic boondoggle response to the symptoms of our shitfuckery rather than stopping the shitfuckery.

I'm just fucking tired of them using immigration and multiculturalism as some dog whistle. All my life they've been using it and it's just gotten old. I want them to admit to their mass murdering crimes for wall street that ruin these people's lives.

[–] PosadistInevitablity@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The media isn’t afraid of those topics. They don’t think about them just like the average American doesn’t.

The ones who think about this stuff never get promoted.

There's money to be made in the border crossing game. It's never going to go away like all other illegal things.
