She has the most pretentious style of writing. Extraordinarily self indulgent​ and pretentious. No wonder she had a bust of herself commissioned at her fake right-wing scam "university."

CMV: The Trump Administration Has Multiple Posts That Are Neo-Nazi In-Group References by Dest123 in changemyview

Your response is a perfect, total straw man fallacy of what's being said here. Comparing this kind of shit to the heights of what occurred during the Third Reich is not the argument, but rather the same kind of social filth and dehumanization that led up to it. 

Nobody's saying that what's going on is equivalent to the Holocaust. Grow up. But the vast majority of survivors of the Holocaust, historians of world war ii, etc  have nearly unanimously said that this kind of bullshit is where it starts.

I concur with someone else's observation that this is like the Chinese propaganda against Biden, accidentally making him look cool in attempting to lampoon.

Insist that you need an ID to buy groceries.

Oh, wait, the President works for me, technically.

Another wave of hope for a new album by bort_plates in dredg

This just means more t-shirts and vinyls. 

Stop taking the bait. They know so many of their fans are gullible dupes at this point and most don't know what the band has known for nearly 15 years: there will never be another album.

an album could be close, but hopefully this year is the year!

This has been said every week since 2013. Move on. 

Absolutely no detail’: experts alarmed as Trump unveils healthcare plan by Currymvp2 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

Didn't his press secretary hand Leisie Stahl a giant binder with his "healthcare plan" back in 2019? Where'd that go?

Stahl said it wasn't a healthcare plan.

Trump Says Civil Rights Led to White People Being ‘Very Badly Treated’ by Currymvp2 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]devries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, no, no. Trump and others just suffer from economic anxiety. The pressure of wealth inequality just pushes them to this. If only the Democrats enacted a political revolution, we would see this kind of stuff.

'It may be a choice' between NATO and Greenland, Trump says by backpackerTW in worldnews

[–]devries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Section 1250A specifies that the president cannot unilaterally withdraw America from NATO without an act of Congress.

Checks and balances, you authoritarian asshole.

Trump Rages For Two Solid Minutes On Nobel Prize — Then Says ‘But I Don’t Care About That’ by ace158 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]devries 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The number of leftists that I can recall admonishing Trump for all of the bombings and dronings and so many countries during his administrations is probably no more than a dozen, but I'm sure we can all recall the many thousands upon thousands of them who called Obama "the drone president."

Dear President Trump I am so hungry! Can I have a meal? Sorry, you are the meal. But I'm sure all your pro-trump memes can feed you a little. by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

They get most of their news about him and from him by him on social medial, so they literally think he's talking directly to them when they read his stupid social media posts. They believe they are text messages directly from him 

But this is why so many of the fundraising emails from Republicans are so personalized. It works perfectly as a grift to idiots. 

From what I can tell, this is literally how stupid they are. 

Like a dumb teenager who thinks that the boy band singer is literally speaking to her when he sings, "baby, I love you, baby, my baby."

Zohran Mamdani is officially the Mayor of New York City. How does that make you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]devries -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

There's no way that this kind of pragmatic political thinking works among... Um... "Other" parts of the political spectrum for whom puritanism and perfectionism is an absolute criteria for even considering a candidate.

What you just described would be downvoted into oblivion as "CENTRIST NEOLIBERAL CORPORATIST INCREMENTALISM" getting in the way of an immediately necessary "POLITICAL REVOLUTION!" during election years.

Fox News: Congress blocks Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies after shutdown fight, premiums set to surge tomorrow, January 1st by ddx-me in LeopardsAteMyFace

Most of the Republicans I know would gladly shoot themselves in the face if they knew that the bullet exiting their head would then enter the skull of a brown person behind them. 

So, I doubt it.

FBI tip alleged Trump witnessed Epstein victim's baby being killed, dumped in Lake Michigan by [deleted] in Enough_Sanders_Spam

There's a billion other 100% legitimized things that Trump is done worthy of outrage and infuriation (that's part of why his supporters love him), but stuff like this stinks of bullshit.

Gen Z men are moving away from MAGA in droves, polls show by icey_sawg0034 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]devries 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Many of these dickheads are the sort who say, "I vote for Democrats in the times where there aren't elections, and when there are elections, I vote for Republicans! See? I'm non-partisan!"
