Every time you hear a right-winger accusing someone of something, there's a good chance they have done it themselves.

When these people say "protect women" and "protect children", they mean "protect my property".

Just replace “protect” with “have sex with”

Since when did treasonous republicans care about bees?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I thought we were using conservative coded words to suggest a desire for inappropriate sexual relationships. But I guess you've never looked at a swarm of bees and wondered if they could rock your world.

I know that but republicans have never said anything about protecting bees.

You're one more negative comment away from getting yourself uninvited to the borgy.

When their farms start failing and they scramble to hire trucks full of pollinators. They don’t vote accordingly or change their practices though. They just go bankrupt and get bailed out by welfare.

ITS HIP TO FUCK BEES!

"To punish and solicit"

It's just kind of safe to assume that at this point, Conservatism's only purpose is to fuck kids. I would appreciate hearing any arguments for Conservatism that do not contain the sentence "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" because in 20 years, not a single pair of people have been able to produce the same definition of what that even fucking means.

What, you oppose money getting gay married or some horseshit like that?

Every accusation is a confession

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

It’s always the ones you suspect

Usual suspects

It's weird cause he looks like a stereotypical white trash American.

Turns out he's white trash British.

It's not in the blood as much as it's in the diet.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

They must have a colorful vernacular to describe them... yobs?

This creep: Save them for me!

[–] phillycodehound@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Ironic Much?

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Gotta protect the kids so he can break them. Can't let other fuckers get his bag man. /S

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Weird how they're always silent about saving kids from their fellow cultists.
