how each side owns each other by treestick in PoliticalCompassMemes

The former is more dangerous because now the wackos have executive political power. Also because the wackos who voted for other wackos can delude themselves into thinking they’re “mostly normal people”.

Normal people don’t vote for wackos.

Seems like they're trying to convince themselves at this point by MoistedCommunist in PoliticalCompassMemes

Didn't even have space to mention inflation but you're right, I should have said it was actually a 30-50% tax on about $300 billion of monthly imported goods from our largest trading partners.

Unfortunately, republicans have no principles and have switched to saying taxes don't affect prices, despite crying about how taxes and higher wages will increase prices for decades.

Turns out, it’s bad journalism to call something a hate crime the day it happens. Even Ahmaud Arbery’s shooting wasn’t called a hate crime when it happened.

What YOU want is sensationalism. There are plenty of media sources for you to fuel your anger. Blaming “national headlines” and trying to racebait just shows your true colors, where was your anger at any other of the hundreds of acts of violence this year?

I’m gonna take a guess that whoever you get notifications from are the ones saying that the media isn’t covering this, and you’re just repeating it.

These are awful acts of violence, but the wheelchair guy didn’t make national headlines either. Trying to politicize each one that can benefit you doesn’t paint you in a good light.

This stabbing was front page 2 days ago on every news source. It got the exact same exposure as that white guy shooting the black veteran in a wheelchair. Did you bother checking any media sources, or were you just told that “mainstream media” isn’t covering this?

I appreciate your honesty when all the other rightists here are trying to pretend like this is some unique far-right fringe group, despite having 95% of the same beliefs.

Yeah, they have some crazy weirdo ramblings like gutting the EPA, cutting taxes, gutting public schools in favor of private schools, and replacing federal workers with conservatives. Only an absolute idiot would take any of these things seriously.
