Well a Republican wouldn't be a Republican if they're weren't hypocritical, whiney-ass beotches after all.

A good Republican is a two faced hypocritical Republican. Cant trust them as far as you can throw them.
I had no idea she said this until now and was like wtf is is hot wheels? Then read the comments....it's Abbott!
Jasmine Crockett just gained more respect from me. Fuck "hot wheels"! Hahaha
I'm out of the loop.
We in texas call our shitty governor hotwheels because he's in a wheelchair
Abbott's neighbor's tree branch fell on him. He sued his neighbor and used the money to run for governor. He immediately changed the law so lawsuits like his are capped and no one else can sue for as much as he won. I prefer to call him "limp dick Greg" but some like "little piss baby"
shady vance dementia donald
Sleepy Joe is funny though
It is, but it's not fitting. It's all apart of the "so harmless they are a pushover yet so dangerous they must be stopped at all costs" spiel. Otherwise known as BS.
honestly there are plenty of things to make fun of abbott about without being ableist. js
Nothing they would understand. You go high enough and you’re pretty quickly over their heads and it has no effect. Remember this is a studied thing. Conservatives don’t grasp irony and sarcasm. It’s one of the reasons Steven Colbert quit the old show. They didn’t get it and it was having the opposite effect they intended.

Just remember that there is literally no reason to attempt to engage with Them on any kind of intellectual level. Only give them mockery and shame, or ignore them.

I dunno why people are upset about this. I see the majority of people complaining about Dems "taking the high road" and avoiding dirty tactics like the Republicans take. "They should take the gloves off and get dirty on the low road", "fight at their level!" I read.
Then as soon as Crockett does take one glove off and makes one borderline offensive comment the reaction is largely, "ugh, no need to be ableist".
Guys, what the hell do you think the 'low road' is?
It doesn't start at breaking the law and blocking supreme court noms, it starts at political midslinging, and the dems are getting "wow that's going too far". Lol. They will not escalate to a higher level of personal risk such as breaking protocols and laws (as the R's do) if they're knocked back at the first rung. They see the public has a preference: protocol above results.
(I'm about to get replies about how mudslinging needs to be carefully crafted to avoid any offensive terms to any group now. Be real. That is not always possible)
We have a deeply fundamental problem broadly with society that people want to be outraged and angry, so they will latch onto anything, this is why the left can't organize and why the most successful political party are the party of orcs and violence and animosity and outrage, even though they have fewer people.
The left isn't much different honestly, they just choose to turn into raging asshats when someone breaks their unspoken rules and boundaries that make them feel "civil" and feel like the "good smart guys." The right doesn't have qualms about being the bad guy because they're fucking stupid and we're gingerly tip-toeing around them careful we're going to hurt someone's feelings, meanwhile on our side we can't even form a single broad movement because too many leftists get twisted when someone in their own ranks says a word that could spark the outrage of someone, somewhere, at some point.
I don't feel like I have a team at all. I want the same things that the left states its arguing for and fighting for, but it doesn't. It doesn't fight, it doesn't accept people, it doesn't actually want change, it uses the same tactics of shaming and finger-wagging everyone, everywhere for saying naughty things, then wondering why they're not getting more people or making progress.
edit: your downvoting is as impotent and pointless as the fights the left takes on. If you think an argument against the left's tactics is an implicit endorsement of the right, congratulations, you belong with the right, you are a reactionary and dumber than shit.
I think it helps to get out of online spaces and interact in person with people. Text is always far easier to misinterpret or to misword, you're more likely to find allies face to face.
I agree that people need to be more accepting and slower to judge. There are a lot of anti-Trump/MAGA people out there who lack the lexicon to get across that they're on-side and whom might make a mistake here and there - no need to flay them publically and turn them away.

Did we forget about this one?
That's what cued me to hate him even more. My mom makes every excuse when I bring that up, even to this day.
He literally called Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas in his address to congress. That’s literal racism.
what does Pocahonatas mean? is it a deragetory term for any race?
native Americans
She’s a very small part Native American, which Trump doesn’t believe and makes fun of by calling her by the name of a historical Native American (Pocahontas).
Yeah, if you aren't aware of the hypocrisy on the right and the 'rules for thee but not for me' mentality you really haven't been paying attention.
How dare you?!
IKR? Hot Wheels don't deserve this slander.
Yes, that would be the icing on the cake if she apologized to the owner of Hot Wheels.
