This took me a second but got a good chuckle. Thank you

Good joke. Everybody laugh.

Seriously gave me a good chuckle after days.

This woman chose to marry this sad excuse for a human being. She deserves no pity.

Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world · 62 pts · 290d (2 replies)

I wonder how she can sleep. Like if the order was given to kill any non Christian non white, does she really think Vance wouldn't?

Money makes a comfy pillow.

alaphic@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 290d

Also, we know she has the bed to herself a majority of the time, what with him sleeping with on the couch so much...

Tiger666@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 290d

She is a beard and is probably being paid very handsomely.

I would prefer to be led by adults

Than by children with an Invisible Friend in the Sky

Hey leave the children out of this, plenty of them are smart enough that they figure it out on their own.

Still, you obey the brats with Imaginary Friends.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 44 pts · 290d (16 replies)

I think some people are forgetting something.

She's a woman. She's not white. Her religion is basically meaningless to these creatures.

This is part of the show. She is less than Vance to MAGA. Because she is a woman, and not white, the ultimate proof of her subservience to Vance is if she ALSO converts officially to (whatever faith he calls himself 🤮).

This is to show MAGAts that they can claim non-white women as their own property and make them do what they want. From what I understand from my Hispanic friends is that this is already underway with ICE kidnappings. Women, in particular, are separated. I can't speak Spanish, so I can't actually verify the translation.

The suspicion is that the "white replacement fear" is being fought by sterilizing the kidnapped women, or forcing them to bear white children (the traditional Nazi way too! Rape.) . The men are incarcerated, deported, or otherwise removed.

I can verify that publicly posting ICE locations on Facebook or mentioning antifacism will get your account banned and related accounts flagged as "suspected to have links to a known terrorist organization."

It should be fairly obvious that while it might be non-white women today, tomorrow it will be white women.

Of course any white man like me that speaks of the horrors and continues to dissent will undoubtedly be targeted. There is ONE single weapon that is effective in the war on fascism. Knowledge.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 290d

While true theres a reason most war gods have knowledge connotations or are also gods of knowledge. Warfare without intellect or wisdom is doomed to fail. Which is more effective throwing ten guys against a thousand or whittling that thousand down through attrition tactics until they break.

White christians have been sterilizing brown people for hundreds of years.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 3 pts · 290d

That's why it's not hard to believe in the slightest.

WindyRebel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 290d (3 replies)

I still use Facebook and pretty much only post anti fascist takes to purposely fight against friends and family members posting hateful shit. I chose to stay on as a voice against.

I haven’t been banned yet.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 3 pts · 290d (2 replies)

It was posting the ICE locations that got them banned. The "antifacism" stuff was used as the reason to remove the account.

WindyRebel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 290d (1 reply)

Good to know! Maybe I should start posting that stuff.

He'd have to face karma, though.

I can't wait for his karma to get settled.

A rotting corpse would be fitting for a MAGA event.

HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club · 8 pts · 290d

Of course. Got to beat that horse to death.

mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 289d

you do know that they won't stop, right?

best case scenario, this becomes like a Terry Fox moment, where school children in the states have one day a year where they go outside and the local police pretend to shoot them, and then teachers give a lesson afterwards on how it was so terrible that Charlie Kirk was shot at a school, but when it happens to them in 2 years it's just God's plan

*to be clear, by best case scenario, I mean in terms of frequency and impact, where it's just a one day a year event that people can easily ignore if they choose to. The rest was obviously my own embellishment

Well if she does she'd probably be better at any religion than her husband who converted to catholicism then insisted on picking fights with a dying pope, killing him.

Someone's sleeping on the couch tonight! Oh wait, that's not punishment to him

Doomsider@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 289d

Couch abuse is not joke. Every day thousands of couches are neglected, unloved, abused, and misunderstood.

You can make a difference though! Consider joining the People Against Vance Fucking Everyone's Couch Society (PAVFECS).

For the cost of a cup of coffee once a day you can ensure that couches have the help and protection they need to avoid Vance fucking them. We here at PAVFECS know that every couch, even ones fucked by Vance, deserve a better life. Join today!

Jesus christ, how much therapy are these kids gonna need? They've already had to watch their father apologize to fucking white supremacists for his wife not being white during the campaign, if they haven't already I'm sure they're destined to hear incessantly about him fucking couches, this shit now, and I'm sure somewhere around 500k other things I've already forgotten about by now

I think this really shows how shallow their marriage really is, that's the sort of topic you discuss Privately with your spouse, not publicly shame them. Yikes

iAvicenna@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 289d

I mean to be fair she looks completely ok with a government rounding up immigrants or anyone slightly fair skinned really and deport them without any due process. So shallowness might not be just in their marriage. This is not a fight between races, this is a fight between classes. As long as you are rich you are fine no matter what your sex, gender or race is.

This I kinda don't get, in that this is probably the most vanilla thing you'd expect to hear from basically anyone of any religion about their spouse not following it.

Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 289d

Yeah he almost has to say it, regardless of his thoughts, at least to keep up appearances, if he wants to appear christian.

ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 290d (14 replies)

So people want him to (1) believe that the Catholic faith is essential for eternal salvation but also (2) not care whether or not his wife is Catholic? That wouldn't make any sense. Of course any Catholic who cares about his loved ones is going to hope that they convert to Catholicism.

Zaktor@sopuli.xyz · 22 pts · 290d (4 replies)

No one thinks he believes #1. Like most Republicans, he's very obviously not a true believer or he'd be acting differently regarding doing good for people, not just waving the Bible around when he does evil. Two actual Popes have said what he's involved in is wrong.

nymnympseudonym@piefed.social · 14 pts · 290d (1 reply)

Au contraire

These people believe

They have faith

Which means their critical thinking skills are underdeveloped and they will believe any fucking thing their in-group believes

mcv@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 290d

Their religion is white supremacy. Vance only figured that out after he got married, though.

Almacca@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 290d

As a wise man once said, "By their fruits shall you know them."

TheRealKuni@piefed.social · 3 pts · 290d

Hence “join Christianity” instead of “convert.” It’s about being in the right club to these people.

CXORA@aussie.zone · 16 pts · 290d (8 replies)

Marrying someone in the hopes that you will convert them is a dick move.

He married her and he wants her to convert, but there's no reason to think that he married her for the purpose of converting her.

CXORA@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 290d (6 replies)

Ok, well converting someone to christianity is a dick move in itself.🙃

aidan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 290d (5 replies)

Thats contrary to the basis of Islam and Christianity, which explicitly have always been about conversions.

Christians believe their God cares about and wants them to try to save everyone, they believe following the Christian God is the path to everlasting happiness, that's where the evangelism comes from- even when it takes a cruel form it is at least in theory a good intent(in practice of course often not).

Muslims believe their God wants all people to recognize and submit to the truth of himself, and that spreading this message is a duty.

CXORA@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 286d (2 replies)

It is possible for religions to be factually wrong, or even morally wrong.

aidan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 286d (1 reply)

OK, but be honest about it, your problem is the religion itself.

CXORA@aussie.zone · 0 pts · 284d

Yes, absolutely. I would never deny that.

The day christianity dies out will be a happy day.
