Conservatards going to deny reality all the way up until they die from it.

[–] linkshandig@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago

Just like so many did with COVID

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 41 points 2 years ago

And then it will be someone else's fault.

[–] _finger_@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This was proven with Covid

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Remember back when conservatives called the left “unhinged”?

[–] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

You mean when they projected their evil on others, to make them the enemy?

yeah, I remember. They've been doing it in some form for decades.

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Conservatives may not believe in climate change, but climate change definitely believes in them, we're all fucked and these idiots are an anchor around our necks.

As someone with family from Iowa, there really is a point we have to realize you can't fix stupid and do something about it before we find out Idiocracy was a documentary.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Take heart: People this stupid would probably make terrible assassins.

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's not hard to stalk someone enough to find their address and then beat the shit out of them. it doesn't take intelligence it just takes obsession. police (as well as anyone else) should take this seriously

[–] ironhydroxide@partizle.com 1 points 2 years ago

It's very possibly a policeman writing these emails......

[–] TheButtonJustSpins 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Assassins, yes. Angry mob, on the other hand.. historically effective.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that's true.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Welcome to Iowa, a backwards shithole run by fascists. You know it's bad because Desantis said he would consider Reynolds for running mate. An endorsement like that speaks volumes.

[–] giacomo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

If you think you're of average intelligence, there are at least 160 million americans that are dumber than you.

[–] Raphael@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, oh, this post went through. I was going to post it and then gave up as it does not fully qualify as "news", oh well.

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

I think it's news, but maybe not worldnews? Like an Iowa meteorologist getting death threats is notable, but I worry worldnews is going to end up just being American internal politics along with all the other news communities.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please only post links to actual news sources, no tabloid sites, etc

You don't consider The Guardian an actual news source?

[–] Raphael@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's a mouthpiece for the american bourgeois.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Who are they?

[–] vd1n@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I've gotten death threats and stalked before. I still am stalked. It's pretty weird. Definitely have PTSD from it. The whole ordeal has been pointless. Cops don't even care when I ask for help.

[–] Yasuke@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

So you guys want to kill him for telling the truth and not being delusional…… wtf has the world come to?

EDIT: Conservative people are fucking FUNNY 😂💀

[–] shadowbert@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume this is a new trend.

[–] Yasuke@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume I care about what you’re saying.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey I think they're basically supporting what you're saying with a kind of rueful sarcasm. As in "not only are you correct that the we're in a shitty state of things, but worse still it's been that way for a long time."

[–] Yasuke@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Damn if so now I feel bad. Maybe I did take it out of context. Who knows?
