Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I despise Hilldawg as much as anyone here, but she was correct with this comment of hers and the right intentionally made it seem like she was talking about all of Trump’s supporters when she clearly wasn’t.

It really was exceptional how some truly awful people like David Duke and Richard Spenser and others were coming out of the woodwork to support Trump (because he was the only GOP politician to come out and talk about immigration and deportation). I’m talking about open white supremacists - the absolute right fringe. If you followed these neo-Nazi groups like I did at the time, they were all thrilled about Trump, it was a real phenomenon. These are people who usually never endorsed even republicans before. Hillary was pointing out that hey, if some of the people who we all agree are terrible are supporting Trump maybe that says something. That’s not how the right took it and I think they worked up their hog base over it, even though it was deployed cynically by them.

If anything it's another thing on theblist of reasons to fucking hate her.

After a year long election she finally actually stood for something and called out the fact half (generous) of all Trump supporters were full of shit and not worth arguing with because they weren't doing it in good faith.

And then she fucking apologized and spent the last days kissing MAGAts ass.

Wait. People are more upset about biden calling trump supporters garbage, than they are about calling Puerto Rico garbage?

Damn, people are easily distracted from the original issue.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 40 points 5 days ago

Chuds and "centrists" see Puerto Ricans as exotic and foreign at best and see insulting the average divorced boomer asshole with a boat dealership as a grievous mistake.

Chuds saying the most unhinged racist shit unfettered: i-am-adolf-hitler

Also chuds when someone says "no, you": frothingfash

yeah-buddy It's ok liberals, keep it up the campaign strategy is absolutely working, don't stop what you're doing

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What are they doing? do they know what they're doing?

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

Yes they do and that is the Rational part of rational fascism Parenti was talking about.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is significantly less offensive than the Republicans calling every democrat a communist pedo, which they do frequently.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

Yea Trump said anybody who didn't support him was the enemy within and he'd use the military to deal with them but let's all get really fucking offended that Biden said the people driving around with giant "fuck your feelings" and "kill your local pedophile" next to "all dems are pedophiles" bumper stickers are garbage.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago (2 children)

We've got 24 hours of october surprises left.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This electoral season makes me literally want to matt

[–] someone@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

"If Trump wins, it could be the last election ever!"

"...Promise?"

[–] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Frank@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

That is the first last surprise.

Democrats, experts in snatching any opportunity from the jaws of victory.

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The White House argued that Biden was only referring to the comedian in his comments and sent a transcript in which Biden says: "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's."

Expecting people to buy that excuse is a bigger insult imo

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

Seriously he said something correct and good and not only are dems immediatly running in fear from standing for anything they're also lying through their fucking teeth with a smile on their face about their excuse.

It's incredible how democrats can find a way to piss off 100% of people.

"GARBAGE DAY!"

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 24 points 5 days ago

Me, stupidly: wow I think the Madison Square Garden comments by that comedian will actually hurt Trump!

Biden:

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

Admittedly the only Trump supporters I know are petite bourgeois and they are all definitely human garbage.

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago
[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

There's nothing wrong with admitting that Trump voters are garbage people. However, I'd say l libs and Harris voters are also garbage people. 95% of Americans are generally garbage people. The vegans, antiwar activists, trans right activists, climate activists, animal welfare and social nonprofit volunteers are the only group of people who are exempt from garbage tags.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

That's a mid insult

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

Jesus literally Hillary 2.0

Kamala closing.message isngonna be saying that Trump supporters aren't racist and saying how she would.never say anything bad about trump supporters, pissing off literally any semi normal person who is completely sick of their shit.

It takes a shit to know a shit....

[–] RION@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'll change it....

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

He's right though.

I kinda want to call the GOP poll greeter garbage to their face.

[–] frauddogg@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

Pot, meet kettle.
