So you’re supporting trump.

"Socialist Mormon Satanist", aka UniversalMonk.

No, you're not. You're not any of the above.

I was raised Mormon, and I am an RM. I'm a Ricks College--now BYU-I--alumn. I had my records removed almost 20 years ago, was a born-again, evangelical atheist for a while, and I've been an active and open Satanist for the last 10.

Your online presence and words scream "active Mormon", not Satanist, or socialist. The things you promote--racism, misogyny, far-right ideology (such as, for instance, all the Ricks College garbage)--are in-line with both historical Mormonism as well as contemporary practices.

Monk's script:

  • "I didn't write the article, I just posted it. " (even though posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it)
  • "if you feel that the article is against the rules, let the mods know" (even though no one said Monk was breaking the rules by posting propaganda)
  • "I'm not voting for Kamala or Trump" (even though a vote for third parties is just going to empower a vote for Trump)
  • Some form of sarcastic, fake "thank you" even though no one asked for their thanks

You forgot Smiley faces and calling you friend.

And demanding proof for otherwise reasonable claims.

(Oh. And for proof check the modlog. They caught a 3day for sealioning.)

This says a lot about West’s base lol

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He has fewer Republicans endorsing him than Kamala does

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Rates matter, not raw numbers

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 1 week ago

That’s a good thing.

"I live in California, where the electoral outcome we can take as settled. That fact affords me the luxury to vote my conscience."

Yeah, literally doesn't matter who they vote for.

At the very least, since it's a protest vote no matter what, I'm glad there's one more Republican with the balls to take a stance against the GOP guy.

I mean maybe I'm just in a state that give me this option others don't have, but the way I do that is voting for the candidate (in this case Kamala) but under the working families party as opposed to Democrat and I registered as an independent so ~~i'm not registered on a kill list when things go nutty~~ they show a loss of support.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do what now? You mean like on your ballot Kamala is listed twice?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think it's a NY thing but people can register with multiple parties so Kamala shows up under Democrat and working families party. Trump shows up under the Republican party and the Conservative party.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That's wild.
