It's genuinely sad that our political discourse has been manipulated by the GOP to the point that families are torn apart. They claim to be all about families and family values and shit, but they care only about destruction.
"They’re my kids. I still have Democrat kids, oh God, help me, and my mom too is still a Democrat,” she wailed. “We’ve gotta convert ’em, Roseanne,” offered the host.
“I have tried like hell — and my brother, my gay brother, my gay sister. They’re all, you know — I tried like hell and now they don’t even talk to me. I try to text them and they don’t take my texts.” Remorselessly, she sneers, “Whatever!”
“Roseanne, we still love you here at Newsmax,” replied the host.
The cult still loves you, even after the family we helped you alienate is gone
The only part about this I feel bad about is that she was actually funny in a unique way, and now I can't watch her Portlandia episode without thinking she actually means everything in it... Though I suppose it's just funny in a different, real crazy instead of pretend crazy way
Why does she keep letting the world know this stuff? Why not just shut up and make some money and friends again? Or even better, evaluate why they won't talk to her, make changes, and then let the world know about that!

Don't forget she was first cancelled for her tweet calling a PoC an ape

And at no point did she ever consider just shutting the fuck up.

She could have been a real powerful voice for working class and the very real problems they have thanks to both parties’ policies.
Instead, she jumped onto the crazy, bigot train.

Hey it's Roseanne, cosplaying as my BIL.

"Bil Cosplay" sounds like taking a sweater vest and pudding pops to a convention.

She should lay off the Ambien.

I don't know if they could have used a less flattering photo of her.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 2y
I think that's just what she looks like all the time now
Infynis@midwest.social · 19 pts · 2y
Honestly, this is one of the better photos I've seen of her. She's not aging well. It's probably all the hate
Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
It looks like she's trying to pass a particularly obstinate turd.

She has a comedy special where she complains about Qanon's predictions not coming true and the crowd is just silent

I never realized how good her tv show was until they killed her off.

She's still alive? I thought she died of a drug overdose.
