Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Reg Shoe was so absolutely dedicated to his cause of making Ankh-Morpork better that he just flat-out refused to die.

How can I not appreciate that?

He's also incredibly adorable on top.

Sorry everyone else tagged in this, but this is how my convos tend to go.

One post proving the person incorrect with some evidence, five billion posts of them refusing to either just maturely admit that or produce some compelling counterevidence.

Pro-tip: When I have the objectively correct answer according to the multiple facts I have posted already, I keep repeating it until it either gets acknowledged and admitted to, or I am given hard counterevidence to rebut it.

"I'm simply showing you data on why OTHERS did not."

You're showing me data to claim people were allegedly so worried about a thing they decided to vote for/allow what was the actively worse option for that thing.

AKA you're being self-contradictory wacko if you think that's a convincing argument.

"Everyone was so worried about Gaza that they voted for the virulently pro-Israel party that were Bibi's best buddies, and so worried about dark money that they voted for the pro-corporation, pro-donor GOP."

Well, got news for you, making Democrats more leftist in a country that actively loves and voted for far right fascism isn't the winning strategy either.

And stats like this back that up.

You have to instead make AMERICANS more leftist first.

We assumed Americans were fundamentally reasonable.

Instead it turns out they're far right fascists who wanted or are fine with far right fascism.

And hint: That's not the fault of nor a flaw of Democrats.

That's the fault of and flaw of Americans.

"Does it seem like trying to shame and scare voters into voting is working to you?"

Indeed it seems that Americans are made up of far right fascists who wanted or were OK with far right fascism.

"Yes, Republicans keeping winning elections."

Which is the actual real reason the country went right.

FTFY

"Democrats keep pushing this narrative that we have to stand behind centrist, establishment Dems and"

If we actually did that, we wouldn't be in this mess.

FTFY

"Im simply being real about real about the current state of leftist representation"

You mean how we vote for it only about 2 years out of every 10, and the rest of the time is conservative or mixed representation?

"Try something new. Jfc."

Like instead voting for Democrats consistently, yes!

"HOW do you think that what Im saying bootlicking Republicans."

You going "well, you see, Repubs being evil because voters react to them being evil by rewarding them with power is all magically the fault of Democrats" is textbook bootlicking and protecting Repubs and their enabling voters.

What is it with people like you that hear criticism of the GOP and feel compelled to immediately white knight them by deflecting the criticism to be somehow magically really the fault of Democrats?

1

Leftist Logician (she/her) @leftistlogician.bsky.social · 8h

If you're sitting here paying literally zero attention to Republicans to lie that Democrats are somehow magically the ones to blame for Repubs moving far to the right, then you are literally advocating doing zero fighting.

Licking Republican boots and making apologia for them =/= fighting them.
