He's impressionable and lived in a liberal area and then a conservative area. Like an empty vessel filled by those around him.

That's the fun part about working remotely. I end up clashing with good people who are easily misinformed.

My coworker in Florida gets fact checked daily.

I used to do that with a couple of friends, trying to be a sanity check for the insanity they were being exposed to. But it got exhausting. They had people in their neighborhood who were feeding them horse shit constantly. It was worse than fighting against the tide.

Yeah, that's 100% it. What a sad thing to witness...

Just popping in to say: That ain't streaking, he has pants and underwear on. Streaking necessitates nudity, no floppage, no streakage.

Our parties aren't fun, but they're factual!

"streaks"

Pants are still on

Sir, I'm sorry but we're going to have to suspend your bro card until you conduct 5 acts of properly drunken ridiculousness.

Did the pigs give him head trama during the arrest?

I was thinking grifters gonna grift. I imagine they’re posting the “transformation” as promotion to gain followers, help launch their career as a talking head, or to sell something.

But why not both?

Fetal alcohol syndrome, got it.

Hmm I think that’s just a receding hairline and unfortunately wide set eyes.

What I'm hearing is that they have a history of making bad decisions.

So 2016 he's against trump 2024 he's pro trump. Man just likes to be on the losing side

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Donnieboy totally doesn't have a long history of documented racist outbursts. And hasn't constantly been using racist dogwhistles against his opponent either. Suuuuure, buddy.

That guy seems to have drunk a lot of varnish over the last eight years.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

[–] wolfeh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Grifter gonna grift.
