Yeah, they’ve been talking about this for years. This is not a surprise. I was linking to articles – both here on Lemmy and back in the day on Reddit – pointing this out years ago, and especially before the election when the talk was about both candidates being the same on Gaza. Trump/Kushner’s plan was full speed genocide so they could turn Gaza into a Trump-based resort.

Knitting.

Have you ever dragged 100% wool yarn across your teeth?

This makes me feel that. Not sure why.

This makes me feel like I’m eating my own tongue. Glass is only slightly less bad.

I’m literally shocked it wasn’t his own piss. Glad, but surprised.

But… document your code.

Hahahaha for who?!?

Uh… for future you!

Me to future me: lol no

Must be. He had no reaction to yellow or red.

That’s so weird.

I’ve always heard that cats are basically colourblind, but I used to have a cat that was terrified of the colour orange. He bit an orange extension cord as a baby, and would avoid anything orange after that. Not red, not yellow, only bright orange.

We had a bright orange blanket, and if you dropped him onto it, he’d spring away like it was a trampoline.

This is infuriating.

We’ve been calling it fascism for at least 10 years because that’s what it’s been.

We were trying to get you fucks to wake up and stop it before it was too late, and now that you’re finally willing to acknowledge it, it’s too fucking late.

Thanks for ignoring us and enabling it. You can fuck all the way off.

True believers sometimes have some hope because some have just followed misinformation too far. Some will snap out of it when confronted with reality. The Final Experiment actually managed to turn some true flerfers. No effect on the grifters, obviously, but it shook some believers loose.

That’s what I thought, too, but her latest utterances don’t make sense in that light.

Maybe her net worth has finally exceeded her values, so she’s finding something like a conscience and isn’t moneyed enough* for that to really factor in? She’s very, very new money, and likely can’t really imagine what that means? People are likely trying to tell her.

* : if foreign money bought her, I’m sure she was fairly cheap. She may have realised that recently…

You’re right, and that’s fucking disgusting.

I’ll take it, though. It’s better than never.

This is like the 3rd time I’ve agreed with her this year.

Much as that sucks, it could be that we’re being fed bullshit to divide us. Weird, I know.

She’s still an idiot whose views only align with mine in a few cases because she doesn’t really understand reality.

But she actually seems like someone who maybe cares about the truth sometimes. She was indoctrinated, but maybe she could be pulled out of it? Not when she’s surrounded by the right wing echo chamber, but it gives me some hope that the redcaps in our own orbit might have a chance?

There have been sooo many wake up calls. The alarm has been blaring for a decade, and most people keep hitting snooze. The bus is long gone, and you’ve missed so many days, you’re going to be expelled. Final exams are today. Try not to show up in your underpants.

Very true.

That’s nothing compared to the syrup, though.

Omg the beans. What a beauty.

Also, never ventures on the countertops? What a gentleman.

Hahaha idiot. What ‘freebies’ could hope to make up for maple syrup and poutine?

Just wait till they’re gone. You fools!

Did nobody read Project 2025?

They carefully calculated those public policy proposals based on polling. But again, they’re basing all that on what it looks like their voting base wants. But the dem voting base is all over the place.

Do you think they looked at all the best demographics and polling they could get and said ‘nah, let’s go a different way lol’?

The issue here is you want something very different from non-rightist B, who wants something very different from (and maybe diametrically opposed to) non-rightist C, and so on. And I’m not saying ‘dem’ or ‘leftist’ here because those terms piss off someone on your own side.

There was no way to make any of that work, and thinking there was, that it was their strategy or the candidate, misses the point. ANY non right candidate will lose again if this issue isn’t understood.
