Not a meltdown at all. Calmly spoken nonsense. Title is clickbait. There, I've slammed them.

Ackchually, it's spelled SLAMMED.

There was a rumour that someone got blasted, but it turned out to be untrue.

It’s lefty prop to make lefties see lefty things so they think the democrats are swinging back but they aren’t actually any different from the republicans, save a few social issues, and we are careening towards a fascist dictatorship.
zd9@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 41d
Nah, "lefties" aren't really the same as Democrats. I think you're referring to Democrats. Some D's are "lefties" but most are not.

The media must stop calling these meltdowns and call them what they truly are: planned, executed republican talking points to stoke fear and anger in middle-of-the-road voters, the people who don't follow politics but vote for presidents, and dedicated base.
Change the headline to "Same Ole Same Ole from bald Hitler-wannabe" and you take power of fear and anger away.

Dude talks tough but lives on a military base because he's a scared shitless and is a coward. Good.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 40d
My brain just failed at reading that like four times and was reading it as "he was a scared shirtless it's and a coward". I was like, no that can't be right... And kept rereading it. I'm not having a stroke, you're having a stroke.

The issue here is that the US military still obey this regime and protect these monsters.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 40d
I am honestly surprised he feels safe on a base. All it takes is for one person to snap and they already have easy access to weapons and know your routine.
Imagine some soldiers girl friend gets deported and he is on the same base as Miller.
WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 40d
Access to weapons on base isn't really any easier than anywhere else. Military members don't just walk around armed on base while doing their non war jobs.

This man deserves to have his face punched again and again and again until it no longer resembles what ever it is that he looks like, then wrapped up and shipped over to the Middle East and dropped into middle of Lebanon so he can deal with the shit his people started.
I wish this man the worst things that life could offer. I hope he dies of 1 million paper cuts. Fucking waste of oxygen.
Fucking overgrown cancerous polyp.

This is a good example of one of the uglier incentives in political media.
I’m not saying Stephen Miller is reasonable here, or that his politics deserve some soft-focus sympathetic framing. The quotes are plenty extreme on their own. But that’s kind of the point: if the facts are bad enough, just tell me the facts.
Instead we get the usual headline-maximizing language: “meltdown,” “unhinged,” “bonkers,” etc. It’s written less like information and more like bait for people who already hate the guy to click, dunk, and share. That’s the same machinery that twists stories in every direction: find the most emotionally flammable wording, strip away nuance, and make the reader feel like something more dramatic happened than what the article actually shows.
This is why people distrust media even when the underlying story is real. The reporting may be about an actual ugly rant, but the packaging trains everyone to react to the spin first and the facts second.
“If it bleeds, it leads” has basically become “if it enrages, it engages.”

faux news is not news or facts. Make of that what you will.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org · 23 pts · 41d
He's right. It's always been my Leftist opinion that hate is the best option. In fact, we should teach kids to commit suicide at every opportunity. This, plus my policies on ending homelessness, taxing the rich, providing livable wages, you know, all those things to relieve people of the horrible shit our current system offers… But yeah, after that, teach kids to murder themselves cause that's also Leftism. And you know what else? We'll murder some babies cause wtf do they expect from us.
These people are stupid and incurious.

Imagine his meltdown if he ever faces justice.
adarza@piefed.ca · 14 pts · 41d
yes. what you 'love'. absolutely.
mercano@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 41d
There still are, including most of the leadership. There also used to be center-right Republicans. I’d argue they’re far fewer of them these days. Trumpisim is so far right that they’re dragging the definition of center over with them.

I can't wait to see this fascist evil little cuck rotting in jail for his crimes. You know it's coming, it's just a matter of when.

Unfortunately, I'll be super surprised if that ever happens
zd9@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 41d
We will see. I have a good feeling about him. Many of the others, and the actual billionaires behind it all are never facing justice, but this little evil worm is going to get what he deserves when the Democrats come back into power with a vengeance. Maybe not until 2028+, but it's coming.
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 41d
I'd be happy to be wrong.
zd9@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 41d
He's not powerful or rich enough to avoid any justice, and when it all comes crumbling down much of the blame from both Republicans and Democrats will be placed on him I believe.
