I’ve gotten death threats for posting Kirk’s own words about acceptable gun deaths and dismissing empathy, sometimes in the same breath as calling out the “violent left”, while not knowing the ideology of the shooter. They’re fucking insane.

Lol I've just calmly expressed how easily the red hat would make it to dome them at a distance, not one has considered continuing the conversation past that, like yes those are my ideas actually.

Why do they always have terrible profile photos. Sunglasses and the same dumb expression.

[–] sefra1@lemmy.zip 7 points 50 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago)

That's not it their dumb expression, that's their dumb faces.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Because they're in the same cult.

Not only is conformity encouraged, but deviating from their group norms even slightly is met with suspicion if not outright fear and hostility.

Plus that's what people who are emotionally stuck in adolescence and/or the 80s think looks cool.

I watch some random YouTube videos sometimes, when auto play is on it just plays another random video while i do chores for example. A video owas playing where some guys motorcycle broke down and some random guys helped him. The put it in their barn and worked hard to fix it. In the back was this huge trump 2024 flag just hanging out. To me it's genuinely weird to see. A part ofe thought: "oh no, these people are real and not just on the internet." And how can you be so nice and so fucking stupid at the same time?

Cannot for a moment leave a shred of evidence that he even knows what an attractive man might look like.

What an exhausting existence.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 24 minutes ago

Lol I'd just answer I don't know what any of them look like and go on with my day

Half these guys have a secret Grindr

[–] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Well, if there was an AI bot swarm to try to affect public opinion, and they needed to generate profile pics...

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 9 points 5 hours ago

Looks suspiciously like the same pictures that keep messaging me on grindr. Coincidence?

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 24 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

funniest thing to me is this is exactly how the "person of interest" dressed.

just, well played m'lord

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 2 points 31 minutes ago

I was looking for his pic in the group. Missed opportunity imo

The median voter strikes again

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Why do so many conservatives do sunglasses? Like, isn't their whole schtick that they're individuals and mavericks? Fucking copy paste.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Right, real mavericks wear monocles and rhyme every so often but not every time. That's the kinda maverick I want avenging me.

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago

I want the Mavericks to avenge the night away for me.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There's no cognitive dissonance where there's no cognition.

Just letting you know you've forced my hand and I'm stealing that line. 👍

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 35 points 10 hours ago

Given the skin tone and sunglasses, one could put that picture of the suspect they're looking for in there and see if anyone notices

[–] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

.... like do they think cheap knockoff sunglasses from a gas station make them look cool? Its got some weird 14 year old boy energy.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

I like that sort of glasses for driving. Don't need to be expensive to be good for that

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

How else do you attract 14yr old boys?

[–] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well thats a terrifying revelation.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 4 points 7 hours ago

On at least two different levels

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

My dad is the coolest most scrappiest Appalachian mountain man who managed to escape the cult of republicanism 2 decades ago. This is one remnant, those damn sunglasses, from those days, and I try not to judge but I do cringe a bit. He fucking despises Trump and Republicans, mind you.

[–] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Like sunglasses can be cool. I despise richard nixon but having a bunch of dudes in wayfarers behind him in his speeches did look cool. Maybe your dad would like to embrace the wayfarer look?

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 hours ago

No no, they make up the cool by taking a picture from the drivers seat of their 12 year old Ford Escape.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's cause that's when they peaked.

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

It's when they peaked mentally, too.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

A felon that then pardoned people responsible for the deaths of five police officers who died stopping an attempted coup from said felon.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I'm a middle-aged white guy, salt-and-pepper-goatee. Let them think I am MAGA. When I speak out on them in public, they have been surprised. And now I have to go armed, non-stop, and it sucks.

Pretty sure I’ve argued with that tnn jerkoff but who knows theres probably 20 that look exactly like him
