He’s the “Diet Republican” brand of Democrat (most Democrats are but especially him), and people have already shown repeatedly that they arent interested in that.

People who want a Republican will vote for the real thing. People who don’t want a Republican will vote for someone else. He’s pandering to a crowd that doesn’t exist in any significant size.

It also wasn’t “less safe”, violent crime has been dropping for quite a while in most areas

So just whining on Lemmy then, got it.

“stealing an election openly and shamelessly is a whole different thing”…yet, they still have support and zero repercussions after sending in a mob to kill cops and politicians in order to create a distraction for fake election officials with fake election documents to sneak into the certification process and overthrow the government.

…because the party you’re so concerned with voting for did nothing to hold the chief architect accountable.

Yes, Trump has mentioned many things he hasn’t done. Hypotheticals about GOP governors are just that: hypotheticals. And what are the National Guard going to do anyway? People can just show up and vote. If anything, it would probably motivate the “we should be at brunch and ignoring genocide” Kamala crowd even more.

Far fewer illegal immigrants? At least that’s what DHS says, so yes.

Well if they say so! And good thing they took all those vicious terrorists weaponizing their cars off the streets, too! Everyone knows DHS would never tell a lie.

They kidnapped plenty of people. Then they got run off.

protests haven’t done anything effective in the last 20+ years in the US

lmao you think by “in the streets” I mean No Kings protests? Privileged liberal for sure.

So either buckle up and prepare for something bigger or shut up

Seeing as you’re clearly incapable of the latter despite having no idea what you’re talking about, does “buckling up” solely entail whining about how powerless I am on Lemmy or is there more to it? Just want to be sure I’m following your instructions to the letter.

I don’t care what someone who voted to fund Israel has to say about anything.

…Yeah, DC, just about the only place in the US that doesn’t require a governor’s approval or Insurrection Act criteria to be met in order to call in the National Guard. Great example, for sure, yeah man, totally gonna expand to the whole country.

ICE absolutely got run out of Minneapolis. Tf you mean they “finished their job”, do you think there are zero immigrants left to kidnap in the whole state?

You can keep crying and doomsaying and insisting we’re powerless, that’s what liberals are good for after all. The people actually in the streets (which I’m increasingly certain is not you) will hold it down, don’t worry. Not to mention Trump probably doesn’t even have the political capital to pull off a coup amongst his own base anymore.

It was fun to show up in keffiyehs and watch the old libs clutch their pearls, at least.

And to pass out anti-ICE info to middle-aged and older folks who may not have necessarily been aware of those resources.

But yeah fuck No Kings.

…You left the part out of your quote where I specified examples of it already happening

How many people are willing to get into a shooting battle with the ICE-aligned PD

Quite a few, if necessary to defend our rights. Why do you think they got run out of Minneapolis? People started barricading the street and doing armed patrols. In a number of other locations, people actually started shooting. Some were never apprehended, some got insane sentences. But stealing an election openly and shamelessly is a whole different ball game.

Even if people are individually angry, there is no collective organization that opposes the current administration.

Lmao wtf are you talking about? Are you just a liberal who never left the house? There is substantial organization against Trump’s Gestapo.

I don’t give a shit about being popular among libs lmao

I’m… also not MAGA, but I understand that Blue MAGA sees the world in very binary, brainwashed terms.

lmao I made up the UN-and-ICC-recognized genocide, ok lib

Yes, I am paraphrasing, glad you were able to clue in on the fact that she didn’t literally say “I support genocide” verbatim. That might’ve been lost on a less intellectual soul than yourself.

If I hear someone say “I support genocide”, even if it’s followed up by “but less than the other guy!” (which is again not supported by actual mortality numbers), I do not care what else they have to say.

They are equivalent in every way which matters.

My principles are getting people killed because I didn’t vote for the person who pledged “the most lethal fighting force” in the world, ok lib

I sleep pretty well yeah

I understand how a lib might confuse principles with stupidity, being so foreign to the former and so familiar with the latter.

Yes, and Biden said “no red lines”, I’m not arguing for Trump, I’m arguing that they’re equivalent. Thanks for supporting my point.

Quantifiably more Palestinians died with Biden in office than Trump by the way. They’re both embarrassing failures of our species who belong in the Hague, but Blue MAGA hates basic facts as much as Red MAGA does.

And?

ok Blue MAGA

Begone Blue MAGA
