Most of "the left" on Lemmy has consistently demonstrated that they are self righteous idiots.

I guess some of them are actual propagandists. And some of them are children.

.ml fart sniffing intensifies

They've been doing this for an entire year now. All winter and spring the meta was "we will all stay home if Desantis doesn't get the nomination." They all cringed pretty hard when Trump did his NFT scam.

But at the end of the day they are all intellectually dishonest cowards, so in the end they always just do the only thing they know - lick the boot.

The weird thing is sticking. It's breaking through the self awareness armor. It's digging heads out of the sand.

I mean this kind of does involve trans issues but not in the way the TERFs believe it does. It shows yet another reason why the moral panic over birth genitals in sports is ridiculous if there are already testosterone limits for these events.

Seems like the real answer here is just to eliminate gendered sports categories entirely and change them to hormone expression categories.

He's literally still talking about his dementia test holy shit.

I have better things to do

Arise chicken

That's weird

Metamodern: man vs perception, man vs language, man vs epistemology

Exactly. For the longest time Democrats have suffered from the "bumper sticker gap." Liberal and leftist positions are generally more complex, nuanced and tend to require a broader intellectual background than conservative positions. This means they aren't easily captured by sound bites, and that makes it much easier for conservatives to capture and control media narratives.

"Republicans are weird" closes that gap, and carries a whole lot of deeper context in the form of the obvious response - "why are Republicans weird?" Suddenly there's an inroad to engage with deeper policy conversations. And better yet, Republicans can't engage with the topic at all without having the same conversation - "we aren't weird because..."

It's good because it's purely subjective. The entire problem thus far has been that factional arguments, like "Trump is an authoritarian" and "Trump tried to start an insurrection" end up getting cast as subjective "alternative facts" anyway. The "weird" thing gets straight to the point and kind of short circuits the entire alternative facts thing. It's also "mild" enough that it doesn immediately elicit a defensive response like calling someone a fascist does.

This all adds up to creating a crack in the rhetorical wall. "Yeah, Trump is kind of weird isn't he?" Instead of digging in, it actually lowers the guard a bit, and helps breaks people out of the echo chamber.

That's 271 baby

Get your shit together PA. Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania is game over.

Western interference is when getting less votes

People started making fun of him for it. He is fragile enough that being called out for his sanitary pad ear would probably bother him.

Color revolution is when voting for the opposition.

Man, the usual suspects on Lemmy are working a ton of overtime on this one.

This is honestly terrifying but would ostensibly require a constitutional amendment. I know a lot of people who would likely fall for this shit.

Yah I slightly burned my hand like two weeks ago and there is still a red mark there.
