I fucking hate that I need to defend this guy, but like, have you guys seen the video? It was very clearly a joke. A joke. There are so, so many things to get pissed off about when it comes to him alone, focusing on a dumb joke is embarrassing. If a democrat said the same thing nobody here would bat an eye.

Absolutely. With these kind of focuses, the GOP doesn't have to make conscientious efforts of distraction. People make dumb jokes. People have small hands. People have combovers, bad skin, weird voices and big bellies. Bringing up these things will just start unimportant conversations in field of politics. Instead focus on actual policies which are fucking over people.

Very clearly a joke.

Thanks for pointing that out, had a hard time believing he said that seriously.

Yeah, he was joking. But JFC, what a self important, egotistical prick! He manages to brag about him being the VP twice in under 30 seconds.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Even he can't believe it happened.

No, we should clearly take things out of context so that the right has plenty of examples of liberals being overreacting idiots. That way they can use those examples to ignore actual, valid criticism. I mean after all, why would they believe someone on the left telling them that America is turning into a fascist state if that person is too stupid to recognize an obvious joke?

Lemmy doesn't get jokes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Well people do get it, which is why the video wasn't linked, so they can't get it.

Thank you! There are many reasons to hate on current US government but this ain't one.

No offense intended, but I really feel like Lemmy gather everyone on the autistic spectrum, for real.
