LOL that fucking fake ear bandage shit....where were the bandages "in solidarity" with murdered school children?

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 79 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They wore AR-15 pins for that...https://www.thedailybeast.com/andrew-clyde-reveals-himself-as-source-of-ar-15-assault-rifle-pins

LOL

Clyde then explains his decision to hand out the pins and urges those who want one to visit his office.

“I give it out to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is in preserving our liberties.

GOP: "we need guns to preserve our liberties"

also GOP: "we're not done taking away your liberties"

They were busy calling the children paid actors and bullying their grieving parents.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Bullying them so bad that at least one of them commit suicide.

Comedian Frank Caliendo had a video doing his Trump and Biden impersonations talking on the phone to each other before Biden dropped out. He would cut back and forth between the two and every time he cut back to his Trump, the bandage would be bigger. By the end he had a pillow on the side of his head.

Ain't it great. All these years of Republicans doing the same thing, but now that Democrats are doing it, all of a sudden, worth news copy.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The time for decorum and establishmentarianism has long been over. It's time to treat Republicans like what they are: degenerate fucking fascists who's viewpoints have no place in society.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Also, those views are fucking weird.

[–] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think my favourite part of this is that, of all the things Republicans have called people, all the racist terms, all the gay-bashing, anti-trans, misogynist, ablist bullshit terms they've used, they're freaking out over the 'epithet' weird.

Talk about the most thin skinned little bitches on the planet.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Apparently name-calling was also projection. Who knew?!

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Awww shucks-are the democrats saying mean things about the conservatives? Well, that sounds awfully familiar. Aren't they the ones defending Trump doing the same shit? Fucking weirdos.

Lame nerds who think sex outside of marriage and weed are bad
