Ah, if only Republican terrorists were actually treated as terrorists.

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 75 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't treat white people like terrorists!

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 74 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, not white conservatives, at least. White leftists you can abuse to your hearts content.

They always scream about the radial left and never of the radical right whom are actually fucking up ppls lives.

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny thing is Nascar only turns left, so they had to mirror the image to keep these people happy

It’s still somewhat mind-blowing how dumb all of that was/is.

There’s a 13yo leading the JFK cult. You can’t get stupider than the people who latched onto the Q movement.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

… don’t say that.

The moment you say “can’t get stupider than…” the world says “hold my beer”

Remember when everybody thought Bush Jr was a dumbass, how tame those days were compared to today.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I remember when the idea of Trump even being taken seriously as a viable candidate was a laughable absurdity.

I think we all forgot how absurd the universe can be.

I agree with Ernie, but I don't like to think of him talking this way.

Never meet your heroes, folks

He's sick of Bert's shit. I'd be the same way.

If it's one thing I miss from R. It's /r/bertstrips

If only I could read uwu

[–] Vulwsztyn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could someone explain the Kraken reference?

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe Trump's legal team was referred to as the Kraken. They were going to be a powerful force if only there had been any facts to support their claims.

[–] foofy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It was from Sidney Powell. She filed some baseless lawsuit regarding the election and claimed she was going to "release the kraken".

I think the Q crowd latched on to that and it was just particularly hashtag-able.

[–] vynlwombat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought this was talking about sports teams at first
