Actually, it’s all anti-China, anti-Mamdani, Zionism, or some combination of these. Very obvious play. Should have been a little more subtle.

Twitter is pushing tons of anti-Mamdani tweets into everyone’s feeds and they still mostly have under 1,000 likes lmao

The whole term “right wing” comes from the French Revolution where the monarchists and supporters of the aristocracy sat on the right side of the General Assembly. They’ve been like this for more than two centuries.

The thing is that conservatives DO love having a king. That was like a whole bit in Sideshow Bob Roberts

People like this never think about the people who will simply walk out of the tent rather than share it with abominable people. That’s the mistake they made in 2024, and by god, they’re gonna keep on making it.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

Yes, everyone remembers Jesus teaching us to hate our neighbors and oppress our women. Like the story where he made that lady at the well make him a sandwich.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Obama literally ran on ending our foreign military entanglements and creating universal healthcare. He failed, but that’s still more progressive than her policies.

Gonna be straight with you, man. I don’t think seeing thousands of people become more radically left-wing is really owning the commies as much as you think it is.

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

“But the open racism” just wasn’t quite so open and mainly shared in person when they thought you were OK to say those things to because you were white too.

It’s so bizarre how on-the-nose real life metaphors just happen like this when Trump is in office. Remember he started off his term with multiple plane crashes after decades of safety. It’s like the universe is throwing things at us and booing.

When they said, “You’ve just created 1000 Charlie Kirks,” what they meant was 1000 fashy white guys who were already trying to get famous were going to fight for his market share.
