Sadly the maga ones are incapable of self reflection. They’ll just say that the “fake news” is lying about him because the democrats control the media and every other facet of their lives

stepping on a rake and yelling "The democrats did this!" as it hits me in the face

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a rake is a good guy with a rake

I just had one of my coworkers earlier today tell me that Tim Walz legalized abortion in MN up to 1 day after birth. We live in MN. These people are so fucking brainwashed that they've lost all touch of reality.

John Stewart called it out a million years ago when he said Republicans choose to live on Bullshit Mountain.

This is very apparent if you go on a YouTube news comment section. It's basically all salty conservatives lmao. They're in panic mode

Honestly, the official merch hat of Harris Walz kinda speaks infinite volumes.

I want a shirt that says "Putting the ope in hope."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Honestly, that's just good marketing. I'll buy 12.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Damn that is really good

I might not be getting it, but why does a theme of trees/nature specifically counter the MAGA hat like that?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (15 children)

Because the right has co-opted the camo look as well as hunting. Tim Walz ~~is~~ was literally the best shot in congress.

Edit: clarity for past and present so people don't misunderstand

HE'S BEEN GIVING SANITARY PRODUCTS TO CHILDREN! PLEASE HATE HIM!

What a groomer, amirite? Encouraging girls to become women and shit.

/S in case it's not clear.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

I'm not even sure where the encouragement part comes from. Women start to bleed at puberty, it's pretty much non-optional. How fucking weird does one have to be to purposefully ignore this? It's like not wanting to put toilet paper in the shitter.

Here’s a link to the original video, which is a classic. It’s less than three minutes long. If you’ve never seen it before, watch it. If you haven’t seen it in a while, watch it again!

20 years ago, Republicans would go into a back room and spend six weeks cooking up the most cynical, mendacious, bigoted dogwhistles yet conceived by man, then strategically leak shit to the press via their online fronts and far-right propaganda outlets. They'd build a rumor mill around the claim Kerry faked his purple heart or leak doctored files to end Dan Rather's career. They'd spread a bunch of FUD about The Next 9/11 being a brief case dirty bomb carried into the US across the border as part of a drug deal. And they'd whip up hysteria in every church south of the Mason Dixon line about gay liberals trying to force churches to marry them.

Now Walz gets on the ticket and six Groypers just start spamming Twitter with "He's probably a pedophile!" and "Look at this obvious AI generated image of Jeffery Epstein", then call it a day.

The GOP has fallen so far.

They're not trying to convince the general public, they're trying to convince themselves, and that's a significantly easier goal.

I'm not sure David Mitchell appreciates this use of his visage.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's made enough jokes at the expense of the Tories, I don't think he'd mind.

I think he would love the accuracy lmao

[–] Jyek 5 points 3 months ago

He's a literal Nazi in the original skit. It's not exactly worse than the original in context.
