Boy am I glad a significant percentage of our population is glued to a 24/7 bigoted hate channel and too stupid to see it for what it clearly is.

Imagine being so stupid you keep watching a "news" channel that settled for a record $800 million for lying to its viewers.

Sorry y'all. This country ain't gonna be fixed after the Pedo-In-Chief is gone. Not by a long shot. If anything, he just let all the other weasel leeches know how far they can push the envelope.

To be elected, someone needs to win the swing voters who aren't rabid Republicans or rabid Democrats. Hillary Clinton's candidacy, Obama's presidency, and Kamala Harris' run for office shows that a lot of those swing voters are racist and sexist.

Even if Fox News went off the air tomorrow, along with Newsmax and all the various right-wing podcasts and streaming junk, there are a lot of swing voters who won't vote for a woman, or won't vote for a gay man, or won't vote for someone without white skin. Many of them probably don't even think of themselves as bigots. They just think things like "I support women, and I had no problem with Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, but commander in chief of the military is different, maybe if she had military experience..." Or, they'll think "I have gay friends, and Mayor Pete seems like a great guy, he's really smart and caring, but I don't think people who choose that lifestyle really have the right values to lead the country". Or they'll think "I don't have a problem with it, but people in Washington will, and they'll never get anything done as president."

Of course outlets like Fox News are always going to go hard after every Democrat, even a straight, white, male, christian one. Maybe that will influence some swing voters. But, it's more about ~~energizing~~ enraging their base. I don't think your typical swing voter is a fox news addict.

All they have are personal attacks. Can't attack their policies cuz too many of their viewers would actually like them.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Yep.

You take the propagandized descriptions and names off liberal policies, and suddenly right wing idiots agree with the vast majority of them.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Keep 'em stupid. Keep 'em angry.

Jessie Watters looks like a turtle.

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

Republicans get more mulligans than the South Boston phone directory. The media and the public seem just fine with that.

Because a kid who respects teachers is bad?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

yes. all teachers are liberal commies and wannabe dictators. the only person in a position of authority that should be respected is cops, as they're pure blooded americans saving us from the terrors of cyclists. also, members of the military should be fellated on sight, or at minimum given a discreet handy.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 2 points 7 hours ago

Correction: military personnel should be offered fellatio. If they accept, then they're queer antifa commies who should stop asking for handouts. And they're discharged.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I believe it's actually a lower-grade of anti-intellectualism, and teachers are just catching stray shots. The apple-giving student is over-eager, an over-achiever. They are fastidious in proposing a squeaky-clean persona toward authority to get ahead (and they'll probably lord it over you, the "normal" student, as a teacher's pet).

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 4 points 8 hours ago

Yes, BUT it's sort of important to remember that huge numbers of voters are loosely, or not at all, aligned with either party. Binary vision has cost Democrats in recent election. That and assuming people won't vote against their interests when they do it time and time again.

Then for the love of god, keep him away from Donald Trump!

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 33 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I will never forget them calling Joe Biden a radical

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

One of the most milquetoast presidents ever and he was “radical”, lol.

Republicans will say anything.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 15 hours ago

or obama, and hillary and harris. they put more emphasis if its woman.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 15 hours ago

Pete is an excellent communicator but the problem isn't that he is gay, he's a Mckinsey stooge.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

conservatives never will vote for a gay guy anyways, they are very strictly hetero-white christian patriarchy. even conservative POC adheres to it.

[–] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

How do you explain Lindsey Graham and George Santos?

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago
[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 75 points 1 day ago (2 children)

honestly, Trump is likely one of the worst and most corrupt humans in history. Like Roman emperor levels of inhumanity and insanity.

Except accounts of bad Roman emperors are likely exaggerated accounts from their opposition, while Trump's are well documented.

May a Brutus show up really fucking soon

Perfect, I doubt anyone in the white house eats any spinach, no one can stop him.

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

I completely agree with you.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] Sybilvane@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago

You forgot to sign your comment.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The problem isn't the right going apeshit.

It's the left being unwilling to vote is the problem.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Or having very stupid pipe dreams of voting for a 3rd party in a presidential election.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

There are too many people who will happily watch the world burn from their high horse

And then have the temerity to be pissy when they're personally affected

[–] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Both can be true at the same time

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 12 points 19 hours ago

The right at least understands that the election is a popularity contest.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 20 points 23 hours ago

It's fine, they're just holding out for the perfect candidate, can't vote for anyone who has any flaws whatsoever.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Here’s the guy he’s running against. 20 years of Ken Paxton’s crooked dealings.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)
[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Yeah but not the pedo type

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 15 hours ago
