We're going to keep doing the Genocide Joe thing until Donald Trump has the nuclear codes

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Until?"

You're hoping for a Trump victory?

You like the idea of additional genocides on top of the ones already going on?

They were illustrating that the morons who parrot "Genocide Joe" are either actively hoping for a Trump win by poisoning Democrat discourse, or are just that stupid they don't understand how FPTP works and thinks that their impassioned plea for peace in Palestine will convince everyone to vote 3rd party as a monolith.

Check their comment history. It's the latter.

It's the former. Anyone checking your history would be able to see a pattern of bad faith misinterpretation of other people's comments, so I'm going to assume that's what's going on here, too.

When the original comment is unserious I don't think un unserious reply is out of line.

Remember how you made that pro-Trump comment in the other thread, a comment that's now deleted, but which people can read in the c/news modlog?

Because I do.

Does this sort of gaslighting often work out for you?

The one in the modlog where you called Trump more honest than Harris. And it was deleted because it's the sort of silly nonsense that's mostly only believed by the MAGA faithful who can't admit that Trump is a pathological liar.

I just checked my comment history for the last 2 months and I'm not seeing anything like that. I also checked the modlog on Lemmy.World and this is all I can see. At this point I'm going to have to assume you're just gaslighting me.
