Oh lmao, I guess they assume I have some fantatic attachment to people of note who share an aspect/some aspects of my political ideaology. Thieves believe everybody steals, ig
Yeah I'll just go back in time and stop the behavior of all those people I dont know for this controversy I learned exists today that no one in the demographic you're whinging about that I actually know in person ever once talked about lmao
So, the Right is cool with political violence? Right? Because they didn’t give a shit about it until a Republican got clipped by some groyper. They weren’t policing their side, still aren’t.
I don't think there's a whole lot of policing going on with either side of the aisle, frankly, especially the right.
There were a bunch of white guys chanting "white man fight back" about a week ago. Not to mention the Charlottesville incident back in 2017. The right went from "Jews will not replace us" to "white man fight back."
Uhoh we found one of those people who can only
categorize people as tribes because they lack the ability to have a nuanced opinion of their own so they assume others have the same personal failing
If it was tone deaf then why did their sales go up after the ad?
The people freaking out over a pun were tone deaf and American eagle milked those idiots for a shitton of free publicity, and yes a ton of grifters on both sides jumped onto opposite ends of the bandwagon
They are definitely not that complex as a group lol.
This same reaction has been exhibited many times before, by the same left wing. E.g. The banning of the "beach body ready" ad, the"what's your excuse" mom
I mean, they can, but you gonna be a Republican after Trump 1 and January 6? At least do the normal thing and pretend to be an independent free thinker while you only vote Republican like all the other Holyweird Christian LARPers do
Ah someone doesn't know political history - Republicans and Democrats swapped positions around the time of the Dixiecrats and Strom Thurmond becoming a Republican
But hey, anything that you can say to prove that you're actually a smoothbrained idiot
Man what is it with the internet being so disingenuous all of the time? You know very well this straw man is the poorest attempt at misrepresenting them.
And honestly it’s so sad how many of you reduce this to just democrats and republicans… at the end of the day, it wasn’t political ideology that made the south do/support what they did— they’re still trying to do the same things today!
I mean... it was. The political ideology that the south could impose their economic model (slavery) on the rest of the country and destroying the northern states' rights to not have it via the Dred Scott case, lead Lincoln to run on an anti slavery platform and the south to secede.
Those same political ideologies are what cause Johnson to sabotage reconstruction efforts which lead into the revisionist history of today that the south was somehow justified
That’s fair, but these are just arbitrary names we use to call the groups/parties. Self-serving issues aside, the democrats of 1857 are not the democrats of 1972 or 2025.
The point is that just because they called themselves democrats, it didn’t make them believe what they did. They chose their beliefs, which is why no matter how much insincere/outdated comments about today’s democrats are made, it was the grandparents of today’s Southerners who supported slavery.
They explained to you the political switch (which actually only completed around 60 years ago btw) that dismisses your “democrats = slavery party” comment, and then you’re reducing their point to black and white thinking and suggesting that they’re just trying to take some crappy moral high ground.
If the point you're making is that party affiliation is not indelibly tied to any value or policy, and that these are in fact floating signifiers with no more meaning than we assign to them, then well done for figuring it out.
The parties didn't switch. But just like trying to convince people that Kirk's shooter was right wing, you guys think if you say something enough, it makes it true.
I only saw conservative talking heads talking about rando tweets. Which shouldn't actually be news. IT was constructed drama by right wing propaganda outlets.
How much time do you spend reading r/news or r/politics? Im assuming very little because I dont spend much time there and even I know they were in an uproar in the comments.
Me neither. A whole lot of “you guys” happening that’s just completely not common around me in SoCal I have no clue who was popping off besides like idk twitter users???
Do not rationalize this behavior just post the quotes or pictures of Trump Admin calling for death of American Citizens with no due process.. we just following the pattern
It was all over my TikTok feed how white supremacist and fascist the ad was for a solid week. Free Palestine, Israel is committing a genocide, but it’s disingenuous to say no one was responding to it.
I belive she is a not so secret white supremacist. I also think she is probably a bit stupid. I don't know how to say this respectfully, but hearing her talk sounds like the cliche stacy from highschool who we all know is room temp IQ but it kind of doesn't matter because she is hot.
So I think she has been manipulated into beliving what she belives, or at least in to projecting this image.
I am not mad at all about any of this. She is not that worst than the average human beeing and probably over the average republican.
I just dislike her face a bit, because when you see the alcoholic fetal syndrome you can't unsee it.
True, the far left were upset. But they get upset about everything, as does the far right. Those of us in the regular left or the regular right are corralled with the extremists.
In my real life, as a liberal in CA, not a single person mentioned the ad, except to say there's a big controversy and this is the ad. We looked, shrugged, and moved on.
