I dunno, I had a lot of respect for McCain while he was still kicking. I might not have agreed with his politics but he was never malicious, unlike the majority of Republicans nowadays.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah McCain was every Democrat's favorite Republican. Dude just wanted to serve his country without all the social bullshit, can't really fault that.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s revisionist

People didn’t like him until he went against Trump

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's not true, I remember thinking I'd vastly prefer him to Bush.

He was a Republican and a good man. Modern Republicans celebrate god awful hate filled attitudes. Not much different from the far left, just opposing policies, really.

Careful, reminding the tankies about the horseshoe upsets them, and there are a lot of tankies on Lemmy.

You're not "reminding" tankies about horseshoe, you're telling everyone you don't know what the fuck you're talking about whenever you mention the term.

But socialists are openly angry so that means they're the same thing as fascists.

I appreciate the sentiment and the intent and I'm not aiming this attitude at you, but i really don't give a fuck. I am so incredibly tired of tiptoeing across egg shells on the internet. If someone can't handle reading a sentence that contains an opinion or idea that they don't agree with, then they need to quit being a complete fucking bitch or quit using the internet. The ability to offend is my right, and offense is a necessity.

not a tankie but I don't like your attitude, it costs zero dollars and zero cents to not be like that. be nice.

[–] Baalial@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

I don't care what you don't like and I'm under no obligation to be nice.

This has been me being nice, it will only get worse from here.
