Don't be like Hannity. If you find yourself lying to support your view, change your view.

[–] FlyingSquid 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But then how will I support my view that I'm the world's greatest lover?

I would maybe have believe "in Japan" squid Man, don't be greedy.

[–] FlyingSquid 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That settles it. There's only one way to prove this: take off your pants and bend over.

Do I look like several salary men on a train with a funnel to you?

Don't be like Hannity should be part of our education.

Sean Hannity is one of the worst propagandists out there and absolute going for the award for scum of the earth 2024. I fucking hate that guy with every fiber of my being.

That too, but more importantly, he wasn't a registered Democrat. Which is what makes you a Democrat.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (6 children)

That's really a terrible way to make that assessment. I'm registered as a Republican in my state so I can vote in their primary, but that doesn't reflect who I actually support.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How do you think the parties count their numbers?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (5 children)

That's moderately useful for statistics purposes, but that's all. It does not mean every individual person who registers as Republican believes in Republican values and votes for Republicans. Nor is it a complete list, plenty of states don't require registration for primaries so there are lots of people who don't bother declaring either way.

That would be inconvenient to Trump's claims except that the truth doesn't matter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you train your base to be militant whenever they don't get their way, you can be assured that you will always be on the chopping block. Look up the French revolution. Or even the fascist uprisings in Germany and Italy. I fighting will happen because you created an environment in which decent is punishable with death.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

"descent"; being decent is luckily not punishable with death 😂

edit: I'm an idiot. It's "dissent". Going down a cave is not punishable by death either. English is hard.

These fucks are bitching about this while their candidates openly encourage domestic terrorism against Haitians.

Fuck 'em.

[–] Fedizen 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

they also called the jan 6th people "antifa".

The funniest possible outcome is if Biden pardoned the dude.

The undecided voters this year have really been deciding with a vengeance

This latest guy having a ton of Ukraine posts is probably also part of them being like "he's a democrat"- there's even a picture of him with blue hair

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I just saw someone on Gab insist that Thomas Crooks was a registered Democrat...

They have to shelter their base from the truth. ☺️

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Person: Votes for Trump. Republicans: A Democrat!

Anyways even though Hannity is LYING about Assassination attempts can DEMOCRATS please tone down Their Rhetoric?
