This lady is more insane than the crazy Missouri one who just uploaded nonstop offensive clips everywhere that didn't kick her out. I say that because she's crazy enough to stay visibly calm while spouting her absolutely hatred-fueled bullshit. That is seriously scary.

(Succession)

Laura Loomer is Trump's Kerry Castellabate, now all we have to do is hope that not wearing the compression socks on flights in order to impress her takes him down like it did Logan Roy.

They are all lining up to get punished. Lady G normally has to pay beautiful boys in the Carolinas for that kind of spicy treatment.

Can we stop platforming small insignificant bigots just because they say stupid and awful shit and happen to be somehow tangentially related to Trump or the GOP? This is how these psychos get the notoriety that earns them seats in congress where their bigotry actually matters, ala MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, etc. I had never heard of this lady yesterday, and now I'm seeing multiple national news stories about her aggressive bigotry and indecency. Not only was I happier yesterday, but she was also less electable yesterday because this shit, incredibly, unfortunately, sells on the Right. Fucking stop. Just stop it.

It's hard, because the media is rightfully pointing a spotlight at her saying "wow, look at this racist dirtbag who's in drumpfs inner circle! This shit is disqualifying!" and then alt-right dicktater-lovers see that and say "that's our girl!"

It's like... you can't fault the news for bringing attention to the appalling behavior of people in positions of power/influence. It's just that all the racists are mask-off now and drumpf is appealing directly to them, as opposed to trying to reach any moderate voter.

Fortunately it seems that most alt-right racist opportunists only ever get a glimpse of success, as their base is one that is forever moving goalposts, and will eat their own at the slightest hint that they're not as racist as them. They burn brightly, and then fade away with their reputations forever stained, only ever gaining employment through attempts to re-validate their xenophobic/hateful credentials. It's a pitiful excuse for a life.

I love it when they fight amongst themselves.

[–] JohnnyH842@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

What is it with this article quoting something but then embedding a different tweet? Wouldn't you want to show the tweet in which she said the thing you are saying she said?

Ladybugs vs Looner vs Leatherface
