I haven't seen the libs this cringey and amped up since covfefe or whatever. Talking about having a taco truck festival in front of the white house. Fuck outta here.

User name does not check out, "Oldsoulhippie". "These damn libs be protesting Nazis", old grumpy man noises πŸ˜‚. Better than running people over, or attacking governors like the Republicans do. It's peaceful and makes people feel better while the Nazis are in charge. Why's it matter?

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 1 points 17 hours ago

Why is it being "peaceful" a good thing if you believe they're literal Nazis? Were the allies wrong to take military action in WWII? The Trump government is doing actual, physical, direct violence to the most vulnerable people in America and you're glad that people have come up with something that makes them feel like they're "fighting back" without causing even the most depraved of their stormtroopers even a moment's inconvenience. They don't even need to ACKNOWLEDGE this. It's the most pathetic, toothless thing imaginable.

Now personally I recognise that peaceful "protest" that doesn't even cause minor inconvenience to your target is pointless. Worse than pointless - it makes people feel like they've achieved something when what they've done is something that trump et al. can simply ignore with zero repercussions. If you're trying to change things, what's the point of taking an action that won't l, and can't, cause any change? God, you would have loved Neville Chamberlain.

"attacking nazi governors is bad"

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

The nazis were also in charge before the election

[–] context@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago

back in 2013 when jon stewart called him "fuckface von clownstick" i thought trump was done for sure! no way he'd wriggle his way out of that one...

Just like the β€œweird” thing, they’ll drop this within a few weeks

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

It's like the Agent Krasnov thing. If they truly believed that, they would be running mueller time style headlines daily.

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump is fundamentally a dumbass and I think that the TACO but is genuinely going to encourage him to wreck the economy more. His persona probably matters more than any other president in recent history, for example Syria managed to get partial sanctions relief by simply calling him a "God sent man of peace".

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

for example Syria managed to get partial sanctions relief by simply calling him a "God sent man of peace".

They got that because their leader is a religious extremist asset of the CIA and west who is acting in their favor, in their name, in their interests and deposed Assad and is kissing the ring of the west and their wants. That's what matters. He's not perhaps their first choice but they want to reward that kind of behavior and prostration he's shown, give him some treats and get him to cooperate, threaten to slap the sanctions fully back on if he acts out in any way. It's not unusual at all for the west to partially lift sanctions in situations like this.

As annoying as libs are, it probably does really piss off Trump which is funny.

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, but the fact that you have to use "probably" in your reply indicates that it has no tangible effect. It's not a good protest. Nothing changes because he's not pissed enough or whatever the goal is to do whatever you think he should do in response.

There's just no substance

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 1 points 17 hours ago

They didn't say it was a "good protest" or any kind of protest, they said that if it pisses off trump (which it apparently does), then that's funny, which is true. Making dipshits mad is hilarious.

[–] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Did you see the interview where he was asked about it? He was furious

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm ambivalent towards it... Because on the one hand, it's the one insult that has been able to really get to him lately. It's hard to make regular insults stick to him, but when you do he's really precious about it. He's like a wine glass covered in Teflon. And god knows anything that makes a piece of shit fash uncomfortable or upset is something I love.

On the other hand, feckless liberals and democrats have run with it in the most annoying way possible, leaning on the actual taco word than on the concept. It's so stupid.

You put it better than I was gonna

It should be about calling him a chicken, not saying TACO repeatedly until it loses all meaning

If they had a spine they would be double dog daring him to do self-damaging shit to keep showing he's the coward and the pushover he is, while calling him a chicken the whole time. Making taco a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's so fucking stupid and it's not even remotely funny. It just feels like the Dems are using chud name calling and I'm kind of done with feeling like all these people never made it out of the school playground mentality.

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a big reason that a lot of these people will never see the light and come to the left. To them, this is the height of activism. Make a mean nickname and daydream about throwing a taco festival outside the white house? Like he won't even be home. They will never get the permits. The whole thing would be one giant waste of resources, dead animals and single use plastic.

And that's their dream protest!

Even rally to restore sanity had more teeth than this

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Kinda feels like another version of "drumph and putler are GAY for each other! No I'm not homophobic I'm just using homophobia to insult them because they're the homophobes!". On the surface yea calling him a chicken is kinda funny because he'll fall for that harder than Marty McFly but the whole TACO abbreviation just makes me feel like it's another case of libs indulging in a little bit of racism using "acceptable" targets.

I could be reading into it too much but the vibes are off for sure
