It's pretty easy to get blindsided by things when you've got your head up your own arse.

And she's voting Republican again!

Leopards: "NomNom"

It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read "Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!". Those people can't be helped.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

If you think that's all of them then this is just silly. Or worse, lazy. Do politics.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

the establishment in the Democratic party isn't interested in winning.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

They want to win. They just don't want to have to change to do so.

"Stupid is as stupid does". The failure of the US education system and rising social media bias are having a Darwinian effect

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 11 points 6 hours ago

this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.

they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.

and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing

[–] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

Good ol' Donnie fixing the US by kicking people like this mother fucker out.

I have no sympathy left for people voting for their own pain.

Easiest breakup ever. Masterfully done! /s

She was blind and now she can see. I'm sure she still isn't seeing the whole picture.

The good old “he’s not hurting the right people”

Absolutely zero empathy …. 🫂

Some peopple just don't want glasses.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don't have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 4 points 7 hours ago

I read "blindfolded" at first and wasn't even the slightest bit surprised

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 hours ago

Oh noez! Anyway…

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 52 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

My only joy in these times of the orange shit stain, is these magats getting pounded.

It might be petty and small of me, but I don't give a shit.

You vote for Trump once... I can kind of excuse it as stupid... You vote for him twice and you're just an evil fucker and I have zero sympathy left.

[–] geekgrrl0@lemmy.ca 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Some of them voted for him 3 times even, wild! My father and brother are in this category. I do not speak to them. I'm gay and my daughter is trans and they voted for that asswipe three times!

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I am arrow straight and do the same

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Or still stupid they obviously just follow the propaganda like sheep.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Nah, at some point it's malicious. It's the "fuck your feelings" crowd, after all.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 60 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think in history there has never been a quicker demonstration of "if you support fascists they will eventually come for you too". Dude has been in the office for couple months and is already rounding up his supporters lol

[–] MarieMarion@literature.cafe 22 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

A couple of months? I reflexively thought No, it must be a couple years already.
Damn, those were long months.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yep and 3.5 years to go.....if it ever ends.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

We have a chance to flip the house and senate in 1.5 years.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Right! Hope it happens!

A point of light in an increasingly dreary world.

Gardner is seven months pregnant, but remains hopeful that her husband will be with her when she gives birth.

“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”

He’s missing the baby shower?? You should tell ICE, maybe they’ll release him.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

they'll probably deport the baby

[–] jasoman@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.

To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don't use secret police to deal with scumbags.

But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people's oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid "golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!" conclusion at the end of the article. But here's another gem from in the middle:

“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.

These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

By your powers combined....I AM.....CAPTAIN......PLLLLLANNNNUUUTTTT uhhhhhggg mmmmHmmm

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 54 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community,

That is how the other narcissistic morons always describes one of their own. During covid there were so many obituaries about these "loving family people" who had died from being unvaccinated, and when you checked their social media history it consisted of nothing but heinous hateful memes.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 12 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, no disagreement there.
