If liberalism is a mental disorder than neoliberalism is a new mental disorder that is so bizarre it doesn't even have a definition yet.

Slightly off topic:

When my parents divorced, I was bummed out that I had to attend two thanksgiving dinners. The second was not turkey. We charred hot dogs over an open fire (lived in the midwest at the time) and made smores. It was pretty great.

This had nothing to do with the election. It's just a nice memory.

I'm not skinny enough to understand this sentiment

Check out this random story from some guy.

I don't know why my memory of hot dogs on an open fire and smores doesn't appeal to you. We're different.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I, too, choose this guy's second dinner.

merely because they believe my one vote...

He thinks his vote doesn't contribute or something?

Conservatives think consequences are extremely unfair. Everything is an act of god to them.

"Childish and rude".

Kinda reminds me of someone.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Oh nonononono - you see, when Trump does it, he gets the good words: HE is "good at nicknames", "strong" and "tells it like it is". When anybody Trump doesn't like does the exact same thing, then they are being childish, rude and it is altogether absolutely inacceptable.

"I let them"

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

He clearly said in context "I let them vote in peace without objection or argument frome me". Kind of like how I can either let your comment go or choose to respond without claiming to have control over you. The man is still ignorant AF though.

I hope the three girls organise heir own thanksgiving dinner and invite their mom.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 17 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Interesting that he phrased it as liberalism.

[–] ReCursing@lemmings.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The American definition of Liberalism is the exact opposite of the original meaning, so maybe he was just being extra-oldschool?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 55 minutes ago

What do you consider to be the original meaning?
