They keep talking about "own the libs" but Trump has been the most liberal president we've had.

Its just that he's not liberal in the sense of leftist values.

The Democrats should OFFICIALLY declare the Republican Party dead, and only refer to the MAGA Party from now on. Do an actual press conference, and make an official announcement - the Republican Party no longer exists, and has been replaced by the MAGA Party. That will make the traditional Republicans absolutely crazy, and the Dems should keep it up.

Never use the word Republican ever again, refer only to the MAGA, or MAGA Nazi Party. On talk shows, interviews, sound bites, fundraising texts, etc., use the term MAGA Party exclusively. When asked about it, simply say casually and matter-of-factly "The Republican Party is dead, they are the MAGA Party from now on," and leave it at that. Make the MAGAs cry.

How exactly are these kindergarten word games going to stop fascism? I'm asking seriously.

MAGA - Morons And Genuine Assholes.

I like calling them MAGAts because it just sounds right to me.

Too many people here just blindly hating on Bernie and nitpicking how "Stalinism is technically incorrect". Where's the Trump hate? Bring some of that shit out. I'll start.

Fuck Trump, MAGA, and their entire cult of personality.

I fucking love that he chose to call them stalinists. In addition to it being true, it send a fuck you to the alt-right and the alt-left (who love to talk up stalin as of late)

stalin also evetuanlly purged his own loyalists after becoming paranoid.

I mean a less harsh version of that has been going on. Trump has ejected many people that used to be in his inner circle, and has, or has tried, to fire almost the whole federal government, too many people who got there without him to trust

I cannot imagine being enough of a sycophant to wear a hat that says "Trump was right about everything". Nobody's right about everything, and Trump is less right about things than most people because he's incredibly stupid.

I'd argue it's a satanist party as well. They're doing all the shit that was prophesized that the devil would make dumb people do, worshipping false idols, worshipping money, getting the mark of the beast, that sort of shit

This is coming from an staunch atheist who just notices the irony

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 20 points 3 days ago

I was confused on what was Satanic until I realized you were talking about the Christian version on Satanic and not the Church of Satan.

I was super surprised by the irony after I saw all those golden idols of trump. If I was a Christian I would be highly offended at these people trying to align with me. Those are $100 bills with trumps face on it, that they covered the goat idol. 2 separate events. 1 was a CPAC and 1 was at Mara Lago. 🙄

It turns out the Red Scare was about the wrong Reds the whole time.

I'm over here waiting to see whether the apocalypse is more Matrix, Terminator, or idiocracy. I'm leaning idiocracy, but I'm not giving up on the others.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We're legit too dumb to even build the Terminator or Matrix apocalypses IMO. They both rely on creating genuine artificial life.

Devastatingly, we might even be too dumb to get to an Idiocracy future. It's set in ~2500 and the earth is still pretty well habitable.

I think short term it's more Handsmaid's Tale in the US, and globally heading for perhaps Elysium.

Good times, good times.

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I want off this ride. I feel like a deer being chased by an endurance hunter and I'm about to collapse.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

Whatever it is, expect there to be a healthy mix of "The Stepford Wives" and "The Handmaid's Tale" thrown in there as well.

The GOP has become a Stalinist Party

They haven't killed remotely enough fascists to earn this distinction.
