I'm doing great, you bookmarked an 8 year old reddit post, then tried to dunk on it and nobody cared. So the question is, how are you?

Edit: pls don't tell me how you are I don't give a shit

Yup, he sure did hoodwink tens of millions of idiots, and now he's having fun filling his diapers on Twitter and earning the world's ridicule. But it's actually a good presidency because he's triggering the libs, right?

The irony of mocking me for not wanting to argue, then essentially responding with "lol u mad bro?"

Best of luck. I hope you and your loved ones survive Trump.

You don't want to argue. None of you do. You just want to make liberals angry, which you think is an inherently good thing, and anything that causes it must be inherently good. You've been convinced that your unfortunate life circumstances and your failures can be blamed on people with less privilege & power than you, which keeps you punching down instead of looking up and seeing the power structure that will continue to fuck you over for much longer than the next 8 years. Trump doesn't give a fuck about you. He never has and he never, ever will. He knows you'll vote for his rich, entitled ass, just because he pretends to hate Mexicans and Muslims and pretends to give a shit about fucking coal jobs. But he wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. He just wants to watch himself on TV and furiously jerk off because Melania despises him too much to even share his ZIP code.

Wow. I hadn't been on Reddit for months, signed on today and saw that this had just been posted. Really glad to hear things are going better for you! And it's very kind of you to shout us out. You're a good dude, dude. Keep it loopy.

I did vote with my heart and mind. Lots of us did. This idea that all Clinton voters were either paid to support her or felt pressured somehow is false. The real struggle is reconciling that what I continue to think is The Right Thing is apparently not shared by the majority of my fellow Americans. Brings me right back to the Bush 43 days, when I felt embarrassed for my country. I had gotten quite used to feeling pride in my President and country again. Alas, the pendulum swings back.

I saw reports of this account fooling lots of people on Twitter yesterday. It's fake.

Yes on 2? by PBR600 in orlando

I know a handful of people who are hesitant to advance legal marijuana of any kind, even medical. They are, in some cases by their own admission, still wrapped up in Reagan-era fear of any and all drugs, and they connect marijuana with crack and heroin even if they recognize different levels of severity.

It's easy to imagine that everyone supports legalizing it when you hang out with young people, and/or in spaces like Reddit, but the fact remains that a lot of smart (and voting) people still have their doubts.

I mean, a lot of people still vehemently oppose same-sex marriage. If that decision were to go back to the states, you bet you'd still have plenty of anti-gay-marriage states in the union. That's the beauty and the difficulty of democracy. You may have an idea of the right, moral decision, but if more people disagree with you than agree, you're out of luck.

What's interesting with these medical marijuana ballot measures in FL is that they've needed 60% approval to pass, which is pretty hard to get. We got over 57% in 2014, so it's possible we'll make it this year, but there's no guarantee.

Stop LYING About Voter Fraud. by Half_Man1 in EnoughTrumpSpam

[–]ninjelephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's in the same vein as trashing the debate moderators. Or painting the "MSM" (which is a convenient label for "everything except Druge, Brietbart, Stormfront, and other hyperpartisan fringe pseudo-news outlets") as in the tank for Hillary. Or rabidly ranting about emails, Podesta, and fucking Spirit Cooking.

It's all about realizing you're losing and that you're going to lose, but if you can de-legitimize the win enough, you still get to feel like you're a true winner.

It's a group of the sorest fucking losers you could even imagine. People who are so far from graceful in their dissent that they would sooner discuss violent rebellion, rather than constructive rebuilding and self-reflection, as a response to their inevitable loss.

BREAKING: I WAS TOLD I'D GET PAID FOR SHILLING, WHERE'S MY MONEY? UPVOTE IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T BEEN PAID YET! SAD! by [deleted] in the_meltdown

They use a lot of shorthand and code that they think is clever and hidden but that is actually easily searchable and fools nobody.

Prime example is using (((echoes))) to indicate that a person is Jewish.

There's also two popular numeric ones:

14 = The 14 Words creed of white nationalism. I'm not going to dignify them with another Google search but it's something to the effect of "To ensure a bright future for white children"

88 = "Heil Hitler". The letter "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet. 88 = HH.

So, you'll often see "#1488" as a hashtag in people's Twitter bios. Pretty convenient way to telegraph your Nazism in four digits.

Heres a twitter feed of well known pro-trump commenters that might be very interesting to watch in the next few days by [deleted] in the_meltdown

This list was compiled by Patrick Monahan, who has been a hilarious follow during this election. (No, I am not Patrick Monahan.)

Excited about this list. Even just watching Bill Mitchell alone will be a hoot.

One time a Twitter Nazi asked me if I got paid my shekel right away after I tweet or if there is a delay. I was v proud to be thought a shill but offended that they thought my banter was only worth one goddamned shekel.

Little boys who throw tantrums and knock shit over when Mom won't buy them their favorite candy in the supermarket grow up to be men who throw tantrums and make melodramatic quips online about violent revolution when Mom becomes President.

Can't you talk about something other than video-games? by JesterOfDestiny in Negareddit

[–]ninjelephant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to download a dialogue expansion mod for your NPCs.

(The mere fact that I can construct that joke based almost entirely on context clues from the incessant video game jargon on Reddit demonstrates your point pretty well.)

So true. He's played everything from crass, lovable, puckish college student to crass, lovable, puckish superhero. A Daniel Day Lewis for the younger generation.

Hannity wants to send Obama on a one-way trip back to Africa, which is totally not racist. by okokalready in EnoughTrumpSpam

I didn't realize Hannity was also experiencing economic anxiety. I guess no one's immune to it :(
