"He wrote conservative columns, opposed gun control, abortion, and evolution in some contexts, and made strong statements like a 2012 video with his wife Gena warning that Barack Obama's re-election could lead to "1,000 years of darkness" for the country."
Lol
Barack Obama's re-election could lead to "1,000 years of darkness" for the country."
He was kinda right on that one. Not that Obama ruined the country, but all the racist assholes who lost their minds when it happened.
"Opposed gun control in some context"
Is it when non white people have guns?
I assume its the same with abortion.
he also is best buds with BENJAMIN netanyahu too, even benny "celebrated his life" with a social media post.
I hate how he became a meme for badassery.
He was a bible thumping bigoted racist piece of shit. Good riddance.
They were jokes. Always just jokes.
Even 20 years ago I understood it was always at his expense. He’s such a self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed “badass” and the jokes were always riffing off of that. It’s like the same way you’d make fun of Steven Seagal.
I mean, Walker, Texas Ranger was a show made by Chuck, about Chuck, where the day gets saved every time because the bad guys are no match for Chuck. The whole point of the jokes is that nobody was taking this guy seriously but him.
I remember watching that show thinking "why does the drunk dealer skater punk murderer know kung fu.?"
We were young and ignorant back then.
Norris was a Republican and an outspoken conservative.[181][182][183] He wrote a regular column for the far-right website WorldNetDaily.[184][185][186] Following the release of Missing in Action in 1984, he described himself as "a conservative, a real flag waver, a big Ronald Reagan fan", adding that he supported leaders who spoke their minds and projected strength.[187]
During the filming of The Delta Force in 1985, Norris commented on the hijacking of TWA Flight 847, arguing that the United States was becoming a "paper tiger" in the Middle East and warning that terrorism abroad would eventually reach North America. He cited statements by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi as evidence of the threat.[188]
In 2007, Norris traveled to Iraq to visit U.S. troops.[189][190] He supported Mike Huckabee's campaign in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries, and drew attention for suggesting that eventual nominee John McCain was too old to handle the demands of the presidency.[191][192] He later supported McCain in the 2008 presidential election, emphasizing his enthusiasm for McCain's partner on the Republican ticket, Sarah Palin.[193]
On November 18, 2008, Norris became one of the first members of show business to express support for the California Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage, and he criticized activists for not accepting the democratic process and the apparent double standard he perceived in criticizing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints without criticizing African Americans, most of whom had voted for the measure.[194]
In 2009, Norris had expressed support for the Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories. In his letter, released at WorldNetDaily, Norris deemed President Obama's refusal to disclose his birth certificate suspicious and implored him to put an end to the conspiracy theories.[195][196] On April 11, 2011, Norris had written a five-part investigation regarding the "infiltration of Sharia law into United States culture" for WorldNetDaily.[197][198] On June 26, 2012, Norris published an article on Ammoland.com, in which he accused the Obama administration of paying Jim Turley, one of the national board members of the Boy Scouts of America at the time, to reverse the organization's policy that excluded gay youths from joining.[199]
During the 2012 United States presidential election, Norris first recommended Ron Paul, and then later formally endorsed Newt Gingrich as the Republican presidential candidate.[200] After Gingrich suspended his campaign in May 2012, Norris endorsed Mitt Romney, the Republican presumptive nominee, despite Norris having previously accused Romney of flip-flopping and of trying to buy the nomination for the Republican Party candidacy for 2012.[201] On the eve of the election, he and his wife Gena made a video warning that if evangelicals did not show up at the polls and vote out President Obama, "our country as we know it may be lost forever".[202][203]
Norris visited Israel multiple times, and he voiced support for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 2013 and 2015 Israeli legislative elections.[204][205] Norris endorsed Huckabee again in the 2016 Republican primaries before he dropped out.[206] In March 2016, it was reported that Norris endorsed Republican Ted Cruz, the Senator in Texas, and that he would be attending a Cruz rally,[207][208] but two days later, Norris stated he would only endorse the GOP nominee once that nominee has been nominated by the party.[209] Later, Norris endorsed former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore in the 2017 United States Senate special election in Alabama.[210]
In 2019, Norris signed an endorsement deal with light weapons manufacturer Glock. The deal was met with criticism from some members of the public and some of his fans, who felt it was in bad timing due to the increase in school shootings in the United States.[211] In 2021, Norris announced his support of the 2021 gubernatorial election to recall incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom and endorsed conservative political commentator and talk radio host Larry Elder to replace him.[212]
oh. i had no idea he ~~is~~ was this kind of human shit. shame.
This is how I find out that Chuck Norris has roundhouse kicked the bucket?
It was pretty quick. After I heard he passed, I noticed an hour-old notification on my phone from a paper saying he had been taken to hospital an was in "good spirits". So whatever it was was quick.
Yeah. He accidentally strangled himself with a power cord while masturbating in the closet.
🤧
Thanks Lemmy for being my #1 source for news via memes!
Lemmy is not a good source of information. But it is a decent place to talk about stuff and laugh it off with memes.
May he rest in piss
It’s important to distinguish conservative from MAGAts. One I merely disagree with
I'm ngl, I thought he had already been dead and the memes were just being revived for lols. Maybe I got him confused with Hulk Hogan? He's dead too, right? Whatever, fuck 'em
yes, and reddit has a meme comparing him to hulk hogan who died the same way he lived as a mouthbreathing racist.
the dude claim there will be 1000year of darkness under obama, let that sink in.
Chuck Norris didn't have to kick the bucket, it just tumbled over by itself. Thanks for the funny memes.
Chuck: So it’s a shot of me holding two Uzis and I’m wearing all jeans with my chest and arms showing being all sweaty and intense, you know something for the ladies.
Photographer: Erm, women don’t really go for that Chuck, stereotypically they want intimacy and sensuality.
Chuck: Ok? But it’s for the fellas too right? It’s got guns AND muscles!
Photographer: sigh …let’s just get this over with Chuck.
Rest in piss Chuck get fucked.
What a way to find out the news...
Barrens chat is going to be in a month-long state of mourning over this.
Republican scum
The irony is doing all the heavy lifting here 😬
