I honestly think this election should just be settled with a cage match

I'd agree to this if neither of them are ever permitted to leave the cage

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

no actually I think the US deserves much worse

'Historic burn!'

This is how MSM speaks now. Why would anyone take these fools seriously?!

"they go low, we go high" is for preventing democratic will, not hypocritical ad hominems

You reminded me to do my check

5 of the headlines in 'Hot' have 'Biden' in them

13 have 'Trump'

Trump Derangement still going strong lmao

If Trump didn't exist - they'd invent him.

Either the headline writer gleefully and enthusiastically believes this, or they can feel their soul being siphoned as they hold down the shift key to type another exclamation mark. I can’t decide which is more horrifying

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I'd say they are equally horrifying.

If I was in public somewhere and I heard a person actually say "historic burn" unironically about something a democrat said - I'd be amused but horrified.

If I was a writer and I was forced to use such language - I'd also be amused but horrified.

This would be like Bill Clinton calling an opponent a pedophilic adulterer

Have you seen Joe's energy? He can sustain facilitating genocide for months, years, some folks are even saying for decades!

Future retellings of the 2024 election will be sure to include this historic burn, this rallying cry that steered public opinion for the months to come, it was the first thing on everyone's tongue when the topic of the election came up in conversation; t-shirts with the burn sold out everywhere, hit list songs about the burn was everywhere, every viral meme for the rest of the year incorporated the burn in some way; it was all like some wild dream to us - we lived in both awe and fear of the burn - reveled in it not by choice but from the sheer force of society. To not partake in the burn was sacrilege, and the burn would soon consume those who shunned it. The following winter was abominably and unexplainably harsh. Roads snowed over, pipes cracked and even the harbors froze over. Nothing and no one could enter or leave the country. In the darkness, we first ate the unburned, then each other. Roving from town to town in repugnant wicker sleds drawn by damned beasts too disfigured to identify as any animal ever living or dead, drilling into abandoned gas stations to suck out anything flammable enough to cook our next meal over, our eyes of steel seeing nothing but fire around us. As spring came, where once stood a great empire now lay only ruin. There could be no hope of rebuilding, and what little pockets of civilization remained could do nothing but look on as the new powers came in and took over, fighting their wars over the new old frontier of America.

Or it will be forgotten in a week when they try a new burn, I don't know.

This is why I’ll be proudly voting for Literally Anybody Else this November.
