I don’t consider this a shitpost.
I’ve been thinking about it and it doesn’t really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I’m going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @GhostFence@lemmy.world, this isn’t really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn’t especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.
Understood!

I think it is pretty implicit that a post in this community should strive to have a level of amusement. I sure don’t find this post amusing, do you? It’s far too accurate and disgusting to be amusing.
People do not come to Lemmy Shitpost to get pissed off. That’s pretty much the opposite of why people come here.

Please explain why you think people want to be pissed off when they come to Lemmy Shitpost.

Nope. I’m not interested in your issues. And if you have an issue with my moderation, please take it up with the Lemmy.world admins. You can find a list of their names in the sidebar on Lemmy.world’s front page.
Also, I’m sorry you find my polite request to please avoid posting this sort of thing in Lemmy Shitpost in future so unreasonable. OP seemed fine with my request.
Don’t forget the “small boats crisis”, that’s the conservatives in a nutshell right now :-(
Had to look for what the hell was MS13… so, Wait, maras are americans?
Meanwhile, liberals:
2016: Trump
2017: Racism (also Trump)
2018: Russia (also Trump)
2019: believe it or not, Trump again
2020: COVID (also Trump)
2021: COVID and Racism
2022: Russia, again (also Racism)
2023: believe it or not, Russia (also Trump)So you’re saying they hated hate?
No, I’m saying they generate fear about it. Which ironically leads to more hatred, not less.
They hate… Racism? How terrible!
/s
Yes because hatred cannot be overcome by hatred, only by Love.
Well said. So in World War II and the Civil War, we should have just talked the enemy down, right?
Surest thou jest…
As long as atrocities in the past continue to justify atrocities in the present, there will be no end to atrocities.
Well if we did just try to talk them down we’d all be speaking German right now. Well, not me, my African American blood line would be extinct.
What’s wrong with speaking German? It’s the language of Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Einstein, Planck, Gauss, Leibniz, Hilbert, Marx, Nietzsche, Luther, Kant, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein… the list goes on and on.
Are you really gonna shit on all of that because of one failed Austrian painter with a funny mustache?
Trump living rent-free in the other party’s head is the reason he’s going to be re-elected.
One of these things is not like the others 🎵
I didn’t choose to be a scientist. I was born this wa-hay.
Actually, 2020 was the Chinese and county clerks (who typically handle elections). 2023 was trans people and librarians.
Turns out bigots can multitask.
God, I remembered Asian hate. I remembered getting yelled at in Chinatown by a bunch of black people. Yo, we are sorta on the same team man. I didn’t create covid. I’m just here trying to survive, just like you.
This chart’s not wrong but I’d posit ‘muslims’ have been an easy go-to since 9/11.
Yeah, there’s usually more than one of these going on at once. Makes it easier to pivot if they get called out for it being nonsense.
There’s always an element of racism running as an undercurrent, so you can pick your Boogeyman du jour, be it Muslims/Arabs (they don’t differentiate,) central/south American immigrants, black lives matter, CRT, DEI, etc.
Then you can add some kind baseless moral outrage on top. Trans people existing, gay people wanting to get married, satanic panic, etc.
It’s really like a fear cake, I guess.

Truer things were rarely said.
the Big Bad Border is coming to get “conservative” cowards
And that’s another thing! (Climbing back up on the Tide XK soap box). I don’t see migrants coming in doing horrible things like putting razor wire around OUR kids. Yes I know there are bad apples in every group, but by far the people doing the threatening and putting forth the hate are on OUR SIDE of the border. We’re locked in here with the crazies!!!
I’d rather have those immigrants than Republicans.
Little did they expect the black, gay trans Muslim with Chinese heritage, who was a former MS13 member but who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to start a career in science. Panic grips the RNC, people screaming, foaming at the mouth, scrawling “the end is near” in the blood of all intern on the wall. Pure chaos.
This person chooses to support Donald Trump, and they’re temporarily okay
This comment made me wonder what happened to Caitlyn Jenner. I mean not enough to look it up but still wonder.
You got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She’s a good candidate for !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world.
Aaaannnnd she’s already there, lol.
LOL didn’t see that coming! /jk
Gays got pounded even before 2016. W and his marry men of assholes were going after gays and gay marriage during his term.
Actually now that I think about it I’m pretty sure Republicans were scapegoating gays as far back as Reagan.
Phrasing? Are we still doing phrasing?
Ah yes, the shitpost meme community, that’s exactly where I should post my very deep, thought provoking political content
This is provoking thoughts for you?
In case you didn’t know, political jokes are a thing and they’re not that rare
I know what a political joke is, and most people don’t go to shitpost communities to find them
What about a picture of Trump edited so his face looks reaaaaaaaaally small
Will 2024 be old people?
More likely DEI. (Blacks, again.)
Have we forgotten they wanted to sacrifice the old people to save the economy during covid.
With privatization of Medicare coming if Trumpert and company win they are STILL willing to sacrifice the old.
Other old people…they get free top notch healthcare for life while saying healthcare isn’t a right
No, because they will get old.
Sorta. I mean, I turn 65 years old this year. Is that too old to be allowed to live? It seems like it. To think I was a kid when they first landed on the moon. And I was a kid when the “beatles” were just a bunch of kids from England. And computers were twelve banks of flashing lights that took up an entire building just to do basic math problems.
2025: poor people (i think they already fear that one)
There’s a kind of always a constant undercurrent of hatred for the lower class with them. I wonder how far the GOP can push that before their voters realize they’re the butt of the joke.
What about 2024?
Yeah it’s always the same. In Utah this past week, the passed a law to disallow trans people from using public bathrooms. I mean,t here’s probably TWO trans people in the whole state. Now, one of the women on our Board of Education is in trouble for harrassing a student over possibly being trans (the student isn’t trans, she just thought she might be).
What the FUCK is the problem? I’ve never seen trans people be a threat to ANYBODY ANYWHERE - yet, white moronic privileged idiots are threatening all of us with blocking all of our basic rights to exist. It seems to me the real threat to humanity is wherever bigoted white people gather together.
It’s not just white people but I get what you mean. So much of politics is performative/culture wars. What always irks me is that behind closed doors some of them are gay or have had abortions privately or something else but they go on acting as though it’s the end of the world publicly.
we aren’t “normal” so their little brains must listen to the propaganda machine and aid in our erasure
little do they know the revolution will be won in thigh highs
Hmm, I hope fishnet stockings are OK, I don’t have thigh highs. I may not win the revolution, but I’ll certainly redefine the word ‘revolting’ in a lot of people’s minds… : /
What the FUCK is the problem?
They invent what they need to hate, then fox screams it. There doesn’t need to be a real problem.
There should be around 30,000 trans people in Utah based on general population.
Did you account for persecution?
No. I read somewhere trans people make up roughly 1% of a given population, I think that number was from a time with higher persecution, because in some places the numbers are higher AFAIK.
Lack of exposure to trans people makes it easier not to see them as human.
From the party that screams and whines about how everyone else is taking their freedoms, they sure do love to to take away everyone else’s freedoms
See they’re barking up the wrong tree with gays and trans. No middle class conservative white family ever had their kid sit them down and say “mom, dad, I’m black”
Rachel Dolezal and Nuka Zeus would like to have a word with you…
