I wish the left was 1% as active and mobilized as the right claims it is.

Yeah, but the reality is that it's very hard to spot a 'leftist', whereas MAGAts tend to make it the primary part of their personality, and display it in their trucks, yards, clothing, etc.

MAGAT's have perceived threats, but they wouldn't know what the enemy looked like if it were right in front of them. They make themselves vulnerable to guerrilla attacks. I mean it's literally like a bunch of dipshit British soldiers standing around in red jackets with muskets.

This is wishful thinking. Polling shows MAGAists are many times more numerous than leftists.

DrFistington@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 345d (2 replies)

What the fuck are you even talking about? The vast majority of people are to the left of MAGAts. But they're just normal people. MAGAts go out of their way to make sure everyone knows exactly who they are, and what they think

Polls? lol that doesn’t prove anything due to volunteer bias. Not to mention fear of outing yourself to present and future evils.

I thought you meant actual leftists. I see now you had it in quotes so if you mean anyone to the left of MAGA then yes there are many such people. Probably about 60% or more of the country.

I wish the left were as armed as the right, because armed citizens are harder to oppress.

The fucking Reichstag fire.

Of all the things you could invoke.

Edit: seriously, this is doing my head in. I've been staring at this for several minutes.

Edit2: Just to be sure because this is fucking important: if all you know about the fire is that it's related to the Nazis, I implore you to read even just the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry.

"we're the Nazis, and we're so glad that we can use this as an excuse to continue doing Nazi shit"

don@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 345d

Shit Nazis doing Nazi shit. It’s as republican as republicans get.

It used to be called Godwin's Law, but what if the probability is one right from the start?

WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 345d

It's the same rhetoric even the president was using before this.

Seems like they're scared in all honesty. This woke them up from their cocaine delusions of being untouchable.

Blackfeathr@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 345d (1 reply)

Good. I hope they remain scared for the rest of their pathetic lives.

ChicoSuave@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 345d

They only have two settings: angry or scared.

PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social · 28 pts · 345d

Why was this life worth more than a school shooting victim or a starving Palestinian child?

Or the life of Melissa Hortman?

I mean, I know exactly why, but I would like to hear them explain it.

Pure insanity. Good luck America; you're gonna need it. Fuck knows rationalty has gone out the window. All the loudest voices are fucking maniacs.

NFL just held a one minute silence for Kirk to a packed stadium. Mass psychosis

CubitOom@infosec.pub · 6 pts · 345d (1 reply)

Did anyone tell the NFL that today was 9/11?

VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 345d

And about the other school shooting?

Almacca@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 345d

For a man that could never just shut the fuck up.

Witchfire@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 345d

I hope people shouted over it

amotio@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 345d

My screen almost cracked from the compacted stupidity in thus picture. I am so glad I don't live in USA. Not saying we have it that much better where I live, we have elections around the corner and our village idjits are loud, but atleast we do't have THIS.

I am sorry America.

“DISTRACT THEM FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES!”

Fascist rightists are so transparent.

aviationeast@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 345d (2 replies)

Pretty sure with the rhetoric the shooter was a MAGA supporter.

pivot_root@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 345d

Surely, you don't mean those "leaked" internal investigation documents written under the oversight of right-wing cronies that describe the bullets as having "transgender" and "anti-fascist" writing on them aren't absolute, indisputable proof that the shooter was a radical commie? What are you, reasonable?

Almacca@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 345d

I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't a government operation. The gun nutters from either side have never shown evidence of being that good a shot.

Ioughttamow@fedia.io · 8 pts · 345d

Because they’re not in the ingroup

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 8 pts · 345d

they are setting up the premise to attack the "left" so just in case its more than likely a right winger, they can say see they are not so bad, or he was a register dem at some point.

Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 345d

Seriously the left needs to get better at mobilizing and calling them all out. We need constant content so when this stuff happens it's easier to pull from and show them the shit they said

T00l_shed@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 345d

The mental gymnastics here hurt my brain

Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social · 3 pts · 344d

It's always violent rhetoric from right-wingers. Shit, even Tom McDonald put out a song condemning leftists before they even had a suspect. It's crazy to me how easily they're fooled by the machine.

Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 345d

Of course they are. They only know hate and weirdness. It is who they are.

Joeffect@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 345d

This is just normal projection like always...
