It's not technically wrong though. He is a former president, as well as the current one. And I'm betting that referring to him as "former president" would get under his skin, so I'm all for it.

So all you have to do to upset conservatives is speak spanish in front of them. Hey is there an easy way to learn conversational spanish?

Really leaning into it. Why not, they see the president and his whole class get away with it, kill the witnesses and get it called suicide. Child rapers are king, everyone will emulate them, in this, in lying and cheating to steal, then in slandering their victims to justify cheating them. In filing abusive lawsuits to force people to defend themselves in court even when they aren't in the wrong.
We really couldn't have picked a worse person for everyone to emulate.

I cannot stress how much these people should be made incompatible with leadership.
A criminal investigation in a thing that was plainly televised?? At fucking worst, you check existing laws about obscenity. What is there to investigate?
An unconscionable, baldfaced waste of time and resources for personal grievance.

As a German, the first thing that came to my mind when reading this, was the term "Entartete Kunst".

How would you translate that to English?
glorkon@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 177d
"Degenerate art". A term the Nazis used for all art they did not understand or like because it didn't fit their ideology.
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 176d
This is what I was wondering. What exactly is there to investigate? I read the article and it doesn’t say. I saw talk about gyrations and crotch-grabbing though.
It almost reads like some republicans felt a stirring in their loins and now they want an excuse to watch the show over and over again.

For them, cancel culture is on the left, because nothing they try to cancel sticks. Who have they successfully cancelled?
Nobody cares what they think. They're so Sociopathic and narcissistic as a group, that they don't even care what other MAGAs think. They can't even turn Charlie Kirk into a real martyr, they're just using his Turning Point operation as a grift now, which is what's really important to them.

Apparently bringing corpses from the 90s back who got famous singing about fucking children is ok, but some people with brown skin dancing provacatively is a bridge too far.

Maybe the central theme of a functional democracy should be education, because it seems to destroy conservative agendas (because the conservative agenda is based on idiocy, hate, and racism)
