I mean, according to the history of how conservative news has worked, you constantly need an ‘enemy’ to be afraid. It’s the reason we’re attacking their rights, not yours, it’s the reason that we’re enacting laws to target this specific ethnicityn not yours, etc.

Modern conservativism only works if your supporters are fearful of the ‘other’. It used to be “orientals” and the Red Scare back in the mid-1900’s. Then the blacks, the ‘marihuana’, and communism in the 60’s and 70’s. In the 80’s, it was the welfare queens, the moral panic, and AIDS. In the 90’s, it was child predators, gays, and the start of many identity politics. Then it was Middle Easterners and Islam in the 2000’s. Now it’s the Great White Replacement and the immigrant populations. See? The pattern is that you always have to have some target for fear. They don’t stick around long before people realize that what they were fearful of isn’t as bad as people said they were or that it was never a risk on the first place. It’s all just a massive distraction to keep people from targeting the real problem. The ruling class, and they’re ability to manipulate our laws, elections, and lives all for their benefit.

In the 1980s, conservatism leaned heavily on fear of the communist threat, the ‘welfare queen’, and a moral panic over crime, AIDS, and the erosion of traditional family values. By the 1990s, the new ‘others’ were undocumented immigrants, queer Americans, and the imagined tyranny of political correctness and globalist elites. The conservative movement has often relied on stoking existential dread—whether it’s the red menace, the crack epidemic, or creeping secularism—to unify its base through fear rather than hope.

That would be a beautiful thing… Wouldn’t it?

Major news outlets will not cover the protests. They will happily film the parade though. They will put forth an air of cautious optimism to endear dear leader to their outlet. The only way this gets any MAJOR public attention is if people stop the parade. It will be stopped, there will be a LOT of police action, which will prompt riots, which will prompt more attention. Trump may use it to enact martial law, but he’ll do so at his own detriment. It will not look well at all, but the cancellation of his parade, plus the chaos that will be martial law will only spark more civil discourse throughout the nation.

It’s about to get hairy, folks.

…about the size of a mortar shell.

I don’t know mate. Standing in front of a tank and shutting down down Fat Boy Hitler’s farcical thuper duper birthday parade would be one for the history books. There’s not a farts chance in a hurricane that this doesn’t go down as a comical clusterfuck.

This whole parade is getting shut down, I promise you.

…dude…

It’s nice to see people standing up to ICE all across the country. They’re being painted as criminals by the state (i.e. Trump), but REAL American citizens know that these people are heroes. Fuck ICE, fuck the cops that support ICE, and a very special double fuck you to Trump and his sycophants - hell has a dark hole waiting for all of you traitors.

Wife already wants hourly neck and head massages. My thumbs are already working at max capacity, Captain. I’m giving it all I got!

Try self-teaching yourself programming If you like math, you’ll greatly enjoy being able to apply it.

Hey, there’s nothing wrong with having a little dick. Your dick isn’t a measure of how “manly” or “powerful” you are. You decide your self-worth. It’s when people decide that they need to “prove” how masculine they are that they can become a problem. I think the alt-right has really figured how how to target the insecurities of men and use that to fuel their anger. And you’re right, they choose to be fascists in order to feel like they’re getting the power they think they deserve. Weak and insecure men look to fascism to solve a problem they’ve convinced themselves is a problem.

Look, we’re not saying that every dude with a tiny dick is a fascist, but it’s weird that every fascist seems to have a tiny dick.

It’s why they all have to make up for it by trying to be a massive douche canoe an “alpha male”.

With the advent of AI, does this sort of fuck up their revenue stream?

A foot fetish sort of works its way into your brain over time. The synapses for feet and sexual attraction are extremely close to each other, so when you do things like, hold someone’s feet during sex, or give them a foot rub during foreplay, there’s a chance your brain may start making that connection that feet are an erotic thing. For me, it started after being married for a few years, and she just sort of flexed her toes during sex in such a way that it gave me goosebumps, in a good way. Granted I’d been giving her foot rubs for a few years by that point…but oh…my god. When it clicked that it was a turn on for me, it was a game changer.

… everytime you pee.

The source is garbage. The news site is rated as being Mixed Factual reporting. They don’t identify who funds them, and they don’t detail their sources.

They are left leaning and primarily lean in to discredit Trump. Trump does a good enough job discrediting himself without the need to fabricate or embelish stories to make him look bad. This “feel good” bullshit is the same sort of stuff that the right does to capture their viewers and feed them “alternative truth”. Be better. Check your sources, and check whether this is reliable information.

This is so fucked. Things are about to get so bad.

I get his argument. I personally don’t mind it, but people are trying to curate their feeds better. Memes should ideally be for memes.

This better belongs in whitepeopletwitter. Do we have one on Lemmy yet?

I’m a solid 8 at the moment.

Sure. But this isn’t a bump stock. It’s a forced reset trigger that was just unbanned… Which is insane. It essentially converts semi automatic weapons to automatic weapons.

If they are willing to defend facism and defend a dictator…then what’s the problem?

At some point your “I’m just doing my job” becomes, “I support an American dictatorship.”. Do you not have morals? Your “job” has now become antithetical to the American Democratic Ethos - you are now a de facto traitor to your country. Last I checked, traitors are an enemy of the state.

…so again, what’s the problem?
