If you're not a member of the Party we cannot guarantee your rights or safety.

Taxation without representation you say?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Isn't this literally what the Republicans said would happen if we had communism?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago

In democratic America you can always find a party. In republican America, party always finds you.

Do I need to have a membership card, or is there a specific hand gesture I can do to prove my loyalty to attend the town heil meeting

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 15 points 10 months ago

a special armband with a lovely black cross thingy depicted on it around the left upper arm, and your right arm outstretched up at a 45 degree angle.

The Rs are so afraid of pushback, it's hilariously sad. They're really weird!

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Wasn't there some study a few years ago that scientifically differentiated "conservative" brains based on their overwhelming fear response to like, everything? Pretty sure there was.

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

That's some soft ass snowflake shit.

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Then don't call it a townhall. It's a party meeting.

[–] Retreaux@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Sure but it's the liberals that are snowflakes right? Are they scared of sNoWFlaKes?

[–] BurningRiver@beehaw.org 18 points 10 months ago

Please be advised that tonight’s townhall is a private event.

Then stop calling it a “town hall” when it’s really a circlejerk echo chamber, you fucking turnip.

You can take a quick glance at Andy Biggs wikipedia and see what a patriot he is!

give them the boot

We want to but we don't have any power right now. Give us a special early election where we can voice our anger. Otherwise we can't do shit because the most heavenly armed capital will just mow us down with guns.

Edit: heavenly is heavily, autocorrect is pro USA I guess.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Was that a Christian nationalist pun?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Heh autocorrect and human brain ability to read what it wants to when proof reading.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 months ago

Gonna laugh when they still boo that man, repug status notwithstanding.

[–] VanillaFrosty@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Safe spaces for fascists. Every accusation really is a confession lol

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Echo chamber...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

What a stupid fucking shithead. "The 'town hall' is a private event" well enjoy jerking each other off, you fuck. Corrupt asshole idiot.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My theory is that Republican politicans know their policies are shit, and that they themselves are pieces of shit, but lobbyists keep parking garbage trucks full of cash into their garage so they keep going.

How often have you seen the headline "Former Republican Dickwad criticizes Republican policy"

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I mean at this point, what is the republican platform. What do they actually want?

[–] elatedCatfish@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago
[–] Houseman@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

They are using staged audiences cool.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Every other comment seems on point, but I’m surprised no one has mentioned they are registered republicans. Why would you register with anyone but the one you can fuck with the most?

[–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

Lol THEY even USE the all caps for HOT TOPICS. WHAT a JOKE.
