Have you considered people are moving further right because your labeling them as such?
That’s the saddest, softest, snowflake excuse you could use.
It’s because you call us rapists we just have to do all that rapin’. Dontcha know.
The dumbest excuse.
I’m sorry but fried chicken isn’t racist, it’s just fried chicken.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
Exactly it is exactly how you sound, conservative does not equal Nazi or fascist. Actual Nazis don’t believe in freedom of speech and would murder you without giving you a chance to criticise.
People are hurting and the right is blaming people (because that’s what the right always does), and people are eating it up. I’ve got a bunch of friends that are currently drinking the hate-machine cool-aid, but when I ask them questions to explain why they hold those views, they just simply can’t answer - propaganda works.
For example, a good friend of mine last week said in a car full of people he wished everyone in California died of a massive nuclear blast and he would throw a party on the news of their millions of deaths. I called him out about it to explain why - he said the governor was fucking everything up. I asked for a specific detail, he couldn’t think of one other than yelling woke woke woke. I asked him what woke means, he said he doesn’t know but it’s bad - gays and rainbows and trans and something about he has to like it. Needless to point out that he is a victim of the hate machine (his kid came out as trans, and I asked if he wanted his kid to be mistreated, and of course he wants the best for his kid…)
People don’t form these opinions where they wish the death of millions of unknown people all on their own, and they usually get echo chambered into those extreme views first.
Yeah propaganda works just like how it has worked on you.
You don’t see me wishing for the deaths of everyone in some state because my news channel tells me the governor of that state is a bad guy - perhaps if you actually had something better to say we could discuss this topic
No one is immune from propaganda not even you.
I’ve said this many times. Republicans are bad…and democrats are just as bad, the only difference is what they pretend to care about. You might’ve seen a democrat promise good things, but not a single one of them has ever even tried to get any of those things done
“BUT WE DON’T HAVE THE VOTES YET!”
FDR didn’t have the votes either. He used his popularity to twist arms for the votes he needed. LBJ did the same thing. AOC and the squad could just as easily do that too, but they’ve wasted every opportunity they’ve had to pressure Pelosi and Schumer to do something.
Oh by the way, remember why we couldn’t have a vote on medicare for all or raising wages because the current speaker Kevin McCarthy would become speaker? And then when the democrats did nothing at all McCarthy became speaker and the people got nothing?
Did you know that a majority of republican voters want medicare for all once they understand what it is? “We need to go to the center and be against medicare for all to get votes from the other side”
Meh. Only one party wants to take away my rights or stop my friends from getting married because they’re both women, make birth control illegal, kill people for performing in drag and let 12 year olds get married. . Your idea of “just as bad” is a little strange.
Classic “both sidesism” that neglects reality.
Republicans don’t actually care. Y’know why? Because many of the oligarchs are gay too.
Oh that makes it totally fine then. 🙄
History would have been better if Huey Long hadn’t been JFK’d and overthrown FDR
I’ve said this many times. Republicans are bad…and democrats are just as bad
Fail right out the gate.
Name one thing the democrats did that was good for regular people. Something they actually tried to get done instead of just complaining that they don’t have the votes. Something that they actually fought for instead of caving in to the republicans after 2 seconds.
I thought this is a “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts” and this is the first shit I see as a new user?
Is there any “Memes” community that doesn’t post shit like this? We non Americans don’t care about this, we just want some fun memes and not being forcefed your culture war crap.
Speaking as a non american
Internet culture for certain will be affected by the cultures of member’s nation. Here in this community we (assuming)have many people around the globe so it easy to see we have americans too. Not all memes will be understood or found hilarious by everyone but you just cant say “shit”.
It is shit because these kinds of “memes” are not made to amuse, they’re made to spread ideological views and increase polarization.
fair enough but if you ken the inside politics and have a world view enough to decide which side to support, it is funny
I don’t support any side because I’m not an American, this shit doesn’t concern me. It’s not my culture war.
Top of the active section. Makes sense
This is seriously funny! Too bad so many commenters are apologists.
The Republican party was in power when they beat the Confederate States though…? Dumb meme
Did you completely forget the part where the parties switched ideologies? Or did you have to forget that part?

Republicans and Democrats are the same. If Republicans are the Nazis at home, Democrats are funding the Nazis abroad.Which Nazis abroad do you mean exactly?
Not as much of a rebrand as a merger
Got em!
Let’s be real, it should be the American flag not just the Republican logo.
They’re not utterly fascist, you can’t do that to the last remnants of sanity left over in the states
Yeah it really depends on your area.
I like those. Thanks!
How is Microsoft and Target rebrands when it literally still says Microsoft and Target?
I was thinking the same thing until I saw the punchline. Target and Microsoft were just fodder here.
The brand is the corporate iconography, typography, etc. Not necessarily the name.
Targets was a minor one but still a good update! The new logo is much more eye catching, the red is what you immediately notice first, whereas the old one your attention was divided between the name text and circular logo. The new logo is also much larger and uniform in colour making it easier to remember.
