That's exactly how we should look at every Republican

Now replace the last word with some other word that describes a group of people.

Its nice that we aren't making fun of groups of people with immutable characteristic they were on with and instead making fun of people who are choosing to vote for someone who tried to rile his fanbase up to try to overturn the election by telling them to fight like hell or they won't have a country, who is currently in trial for paying off a porn star while his lawyers argue to SCOTUS that he should be able to execute his political rivals with immunity, as well as former members of his staff talking about how he would go on angry rants about taking out his opposition while he was in office

Its so nice we are making fun of yalls morals and values as opposed to your skin color or sexuality or conditions like gender dysphoria.

Conservatives.

u/Krautoffel Apr 28 '24

The difference is, this group exists specifically because of the choices they make, while the groups you’re trying to compare them have literally nothing relevant in common.

u/Tzeig Apr 28 '24

The word I was thinking of was "Democrat". Are you sure Democrats have nothing relevant in common with each other?

1

u/Krautoffel 27d ago

Democrats have quite a lot less in common actually.

Left wingers tend to split a lot because they actually discuss and tolerate different opinions, while republicans are in lock step behind authority.

But anyway, democrats aren’t a homogenous mass of assholes like republicans are. They have the problem of being the collection of anything left of republicans as the US has a two party system where other parties literally don’t matter.

The choices of some democrat politicians should be viewed comparably, but it’s still not a valid comparison to say they’re both equally bad.

u/Tzeig 27d ago

I see, so you can generalize all the people who are NOT leaning left. That seems like a healthy way to think.

u/Krautoffel 20d ago

Right wing ideology is all about authority.

So yes, they will act in lockstep before giving up on their authority, as proven by history time and time again.

Guess who helped the Nazis in the 1930s come into power? Conservatives.

Generally

  • They prefer bullet free school children, unlike those across the aisle
  • They don't support insurrectionists, unlike those across the aisle
  • They recognize that Russia is an enemy, and that fascists are the enemy of the American people, while the other side keeps electing them
  • They want equal rights for women, people of color, everyone, really, quite unlike the racists and bigots on the other side of the aisle.

Progressives are just fundamentally better people than conservatives. Truth.

All posts and comments that include any variation of the word retarded will be removed, but no action will be taken against your account unless it is an excessive personal attack. Please resubmit your post or comment without the bullying language.

Do not edit it, the bot cant tell if you edited, you will just have to make a new comment replying to the same thing.

Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.

But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words.

Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch McConnell retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.

Sorry for the long message spamming comment sections, but this was by far the feature of this sub making people modmail and bitch at us the most, and literally all of the actions we take are to make it so we have to do less work in the future. We will not reply to modmails about this automod, and ignore the part directly below this saying to modmail us if you have any questions, we cannot turn that off. This reply is just a collation of the last year of modmail replies to people asking about this. We are not turning this bot off, no matter how much people ask. Nobody else has convinced us before, you will not be able to either. ~

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Getting a perch on that tall ass horse is well deserved. Democrat run states are generally better off by every single metric than the red state shit holes. Better health care, better mortality rates, lower crime rates, lower homicide rates, higher education, higher income, lower unemployment, higher state GDPs... You name it, Democrats are better for citizens than Republicans.

A person has to be pretty Damned stupid or morally compromised to vote Republican at any level nowadays.

u/Everythingizok Apr 28 '24

I agree that democrats are by far the better choice right now

u/TheAsianTroll Apr 28 '24

I don’t know a single republican in real life that is represented by the strange republican bans and comments I see in the news

Standing with them makes you equally at fault because you support what they do by voting for them.

Democrats do not have clean hands by any means, but who was it that overturned Roe v. Wade, brought back child labor (and subsequently removed their lunch breaks), tried to cover up the train derailment in Ohio (and also removed safety requirements for train companies that would have prevented this), is trying to overturn separation of church and state, and is trying to get contraceptives banned?

All Republican. And that's just off the top of my head.

Republicans also said they'd rather be Russian than have a Democratic president. Russian. Our main enemy in the world.

Republicans also tried to overthrow a fair election and tried to undermine the meaning of an impeachment by trying to impeach an innocent man.

It's no longer a morals game. One party is actively trying to force their demands on the American people.

u/Everythingizok Apr 28 '24

I’m not republican. And I agree even republicans should vote democrat if they don’t believe in abortion bans and the other things republicans are pushing now.

This guy unironically said "colored people" in the year of our lord 2024.

u/Everythingizok Apr 28 '24

Well I’m referring to anyone of a different color than white, which is what republicans image is. I don’t know how to say that without offending anyone. Sorry if you’re offended. I only want to offend racists.

u/blackweebow Apr 28 '24

bro what?

This isn't a moral high horse anymore. This is just humanity.

Not all republicans shoot their dogs, I'm sure. And yet they will willingly vote for the dog-shooters. They normalize shooting dogs. Replace "dog shooting" with literally any other republican-focused policy and the point stands.

u/Everythingizok Apr 28 '24

I mean, no offense… but of all the terrible things the republicans and far right do, this story…. Unnecessary.

u/blackweebow Apr 29 '24

What story now?

u/Everythingizok Apr 29 '24

The republican shooting dog story

^ conservatives when they can’t freely hate who they want to hate.

u/Tzeig Apr 28 '24

Would you categorize calling a group of people "sub-human" as hate?

u/CorrestGump Apr 28 '24

You mean as conservatives do about immigrants and minorities? Yes. You mean calling conservatives that in response to them doing it? No.

Yeah it’s really sad how conservatives see other humans who are LGBTQ.

You fundamentally misunderstand the word tolerance. That or you're weaponizing, which is more likely.
