its always the doucebag with a profile of half nekkid bodies.
Or in their car wearing sunglasses.
Ah yes, the fictionalized content where our enemy has learned we’re right and they’re wrong.
I mean why understand our enemy, when we can echo chamber.
Have the day you voted for. :D
that’s quite a turn to take between February and Dodecember
The crazy thing about this piece of shit, is that he has so much hate for marginalized people, that even though he is actively being fucked by what he voted for, he can’t even bring himself to lying and saying that he will vote for the opposing party, and of course in reality will continue to vote for fucking himself because he hopes it fucks the marginalized more.
Aww. You mean the conman affected you personally? What kind of vile person hopes that the conman will fuck everyone else except them. Ugh. Fuck this shit
Not LAMF. He wasn’t supporting Trump or the GOP doing anything antagonistic toward hemp re others and not him, the thing he’s complaining about affecting him.
“I never thought they’d eat MY face!” makes zero sense here.
Also, republican politician’s animosity towards legal weed is well documented and they’ve all been voting against it wherever they can. The weird libertarian republicans that know they have to kowtow to the party to get elected sometimes weren’t against it, but that’s a small minority.
He’s cheering on them arbitrarily abusing other people and then acting all surprised when they arbitrarily abuse him and his family.
That’s textbook LAMF.
He’s cheering on them arbitrarily abusing other people
- Way too vague for LAMF even if true. The expression isn’t “Leopards Negatively Affecting People In Any Way Party”. If you went by that, any politician negatively affecting anyone ever would be LAMF. No.
- You’re lying about what he was doing, anyway. In reality, he was posting in support of reciprocal tariffs. Completely unrelated.
“You voted for this”
Trump literally said that a couple of months after he was inaugurated. It’s like they didn’t believe him when he was literally telling everyone who he is. Second highest votes a president has ever had in U.S. history… fucking idiots.
awww. capitalist got got. by his own vote. nothing of value was lost.
Except, you know, democracy 🤷
when has there been democracy in america at all federal level?
I mean, it’s always been a flawed system at best, but you’d be a fool to claim that it’s not even less democratic now than it was a decade or even a year ago.
so we’ve always had democracy? and we still do? hold up, lemme ask the folks kidnapped by ice if they heard from their reps yet.
First, democracy isn’t a binary. It’s not a case of “it’s either perfectly democratic or not democratic vat all”
Secondly, using the current day extreme thuggery of ICE as a refutation of a decrease in democracy compared to the recent past isn’t the home run you seem to think it is. In fact, it’s proof that you’re trying to hit the baseball for a field goal with a hockey stick.
i’m trying to say, at a federal level, we have never actually had democracy. E V E R. 250 years of history containing oligarchs, capitalism, class warfare, racism, and manufactured consent does not leave room for any level of actual democracy.

And I’m saying that that’s not true, while conceding the fact that it’s always been flawed.
250 years of history containing oligarchs, capitalism, class warfare, racism, and manufactured consent does not leave room for any level of actual democracy.
Wrong again. You should REALLY let go of your false dichotomy that only a perfectly democratic system is a democracy at all. Otherwise you’ll never be satisfied OR right.
Jill Stein sure would’ve fixed things! (So that Russia could destroy us even quicker)
Well it certainly isn’t an anarcho-syndicalist commune, I’d like to make that point.
I mean, at least nobody is getting a buzz from a gummy anymore. Got to think of what is important.
I never really even got a buzz; I just use em to sleep through the night (half a 10mg a night). In the past I used to drink to sleep but that’s not healthy and didn’t really give you rest anyway.
I’d suggest trying tincture or seltzers. Personally I’d prefer them over edibles (though I mostly vape, living in a rec state)
Have you tried melatonin? Works great for me. Less drowsy in the AM than weed in my experience.
Some studies are showing melatonin increases heart issues.
Wow I had not seen that, thank you for the info I will look into.
Lol. Good.
The less money this freak and his family have, the less money they can donate to child rapists and child rapist enablers.
Bonus points for this dipshit admitting he’ll not vote instead of voting for anyone other than Republicans.
LOOOOOOOOOOOSER!!!
They really think they will ever vote again 🤣
They’re like sleeper agents.
As soon as a Republican utters the phrase “Democrats are eating babies” they are activated and go to the polls and vote for whoever has an “R” next to their name and then they wake up the next day with no memory of ever going to the polling booth.
I know you were trying to be sarcastic, but I have a Trumper friend who thinks the dem elites extract adrenochrome from babies. Not sure but I think that means the babies are killed afterwards. It can’t seem to ever get ridiculous enough.
The orange turd could be on the air saying *the libs are eating your babies" while literally having a new born baby placed in front on him on a silver platter, stab the baby in the head, cut off its arm and physically eats the thing ON THE AIR…and the red cult would still fall in line
I mean even in Russia they can vote. It’s just a meaningless facade.
What are the odds that THIS post isn’t fake?
I stopped caring after scrolling for a bit but I can confirm he is definitely having a meltdown and has claimed multiple times he won’t be voting
This Evan person is very special.
Really the only thing that makes him special is that he finally recognizes the grift. He’s otherwise a run-of-the-mill (ex-)MAGA influencer
I mean that in the sense that he has special needs. Along with 70 million others.
Ah, I’m a bit hesitant to use that as an insult as my friend has been running a special education program for a decade and even the most unruly students from her worst horror stories have more sense than Evan A Kilgore
Not sure I was using it as an insult though.
I suppose that’s one way to interpret it.
Another way to interpret it might be that this person actually needs some kind of additional help, to understand and function effectively in the world around them.
Along with roughly 70 million others.
I posted about this guy 4 months ago. Seems like he just wants to keep telling everyone how done he is. I’m sure that’ll all change by the next election though.
claimed multiple times he won’t be voting
He might not vote for the obvious magats, but he’ll still vote red and won’t ever consider, even for 1 second, to vote Blue.
I know that I actually really posted it, so 1:1? 🤷
Evan?
Nah, I’m being willfully obtuse, pretending that you meant this Lemmy post rather than the OP 😉
But I liked the idea of “Leopards ate my face: FPV AMA Lemmy post”
“My side fucked me, so I won’t vote for anyone for a couple of years. That’ll learn 'em.”
These people have been so brain broken that they will never vote for anyone with a ‘D’ next to their name.
This person doesn’t even need to mention it, it’s just a given that he will go right to not voting (which I’ll take as a win).
Focusing on cannabis since the fuy is complaining about his hemp farm.
The Democrats here in Ohio have done fuck all to protect the decriminalized cannabis that we voted in support of by 60% back in 2023 (same with abortion the same day). Republicans immediatly set to work to limit home growth and how much you can buy. Did the Democrats run ads in Ohio about how they were going to protect our right to grow and consume cannabis? Did they talk about how Republicans were going to roll back the provisions we all agreed on? No. They ran ads about how they were going to help Trump hurt trans kids and “secure the border” here in Ohio. The Democrats and Republicans have lost all credibility with everyone that isn’t a die-hard supporter of the parties. People stop voting when they feel like neither party cares about their interests.
Unfortunately, running ads against all the shitty things that Republicans do would bankrupt someone as wealthy as Bezos. At a certain point, people need to take some personal responsibility in researching and making an informed vote, instead of just relying on who had the most recent snappy attack ad campaign.
Yeah, I keep hearing about how useless the dems are. I dunno what you guys can possibly do to fix things over there tbh. So I understand feeling hopeless.
Here’s the solution: Go get involved locally.
The Dems at the top are put there by the dems in the middle, and those are elected by the dems at the bottom. Find your precinct and join it. Simply being present adds weight to that precint, and then you can help choose who leads the district, and upwards until we get to the DNC chair and presidential candidates.
Feel like your choice is nazi vs meh? Getting involved lets you push the meh closer to great. Voting all the time is half the equation, but if you feel like your choices are not great, then the solution is to help pick the choices.
The Dems are primarily right of centre capitalists who think they’ll win if they appeal to the “centrists” between the two parties (hasn’t worked), and the Repubs are literal Nazis. So yeah, not great.
Americans are odd. They complain about “both sides” but a lot of them don’t participate in primary elections.
There are definitely problems with the way the parties pick candidates but the primary is by far the more important election for those that consistently vote for the same party.
It’s a Charlie Brown and the football situation. You can only fall for the same bait and switch so many times before you just give up. In a democracy it leads to voter apathy. And primaries are poorly run. If it isn’t a prominent one, you likely won’t find much information on the candidates prior to the primary election, and for the president, they sre pretty much decided by 4th one so if you’re state does a later primary, chances are that your preferred candidate has already dropped out by the time you can actually vote for them.
A big part of the problem is the length of the “primary season” and spreading out votes over the course of several months.
This makes it really hard to sustain a budget, especially for grassroots candidates…but also sets up frontrunners in a big way.
IMO primaries would have a different outcome if they were all held on one day and we limited primary campaign season to like 3 months tops.
I’d say something about superdelegates but the fact is that parties and primaries aren’t really a part of the process. People treat the GOP and DNC like they are official government branches when really they are just more like a private club. They let us have a primary. If the bylaws say they can override the primary, that’s the bylaws. If people disagree with it, then either the bylaws get changed or a new club gets founded.
The problem, then, is that our voting system ultimately necessitates no more than two major parties. Since the winner is the one with the most votes*, it’s very easy for two parties that align on many fronts to actively work against each other…see Ralph Nader in Florida in 2000. And it takes a huge shift to uproot an established party.
To my knowledge Americans have never given Democrats a chance, it’s been a Republican majority since 2008 and Republicans work by stonewalling Democrats so they look ineffective.
They had a majority in the House from 2006 to 2010 and from 2008 to 2014 in the Senate. It’s not like the GOP has been in power forever. And again in the Senate from 2022 to 2024 and from 2018 to 2022 in the House.
There’s a reason why some people dont really believe in them
I was referring specifically to Senate, however it’s a long messy history, let me go on GovTrack.us and see if I can find the senate records to explain what I mean
Edit: there it is,
✓On the opening day of the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, the U.S. Senate was comprised of 51 Republicans, 46 Democrats, 2 Independents (who caucused with the Democrats), and 1 vacancy. No candidate received a majority of votes in the general election for Georgia’s class 2 seat or in the special election for Georgia’s class 3 seat. Runoff elections for both of the state’s Senate seats were scheduled for January 5, 2021. Democratic candidates won both elections. Following the inauguration of Vice President Kamala D. Harris on January 20, 2021, the Senate had a Democratic majority, comprised of 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 2 Independents (who caucus with the Democrats). The Vice President is able to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate. See United States Senate, “Party Division,” https://www.senate.gov/history/partydiv.htm. Office of the Historian: [email protected] Office of Art & Archives, Office of the Clerk: [email protected], [email protected]
The below information is a tie which effectively allowed for stonewalling. Yes if all Democratic senators, 2 independents and the vice president voted together they could push things through. However the fact of the matter is they don’t tow the party line like Republicans and vote more independently. Perhaps a party failure but I see that as a tenant of a functioning democracy.
You could make the argument against an enemy willing to use those tactics not using them Is a failure to the people but I’d argue the smarter thing as individuals would be to blame Republicans and vote them out of positions of power.
And before that the last time they had a majority was 2009 to 2011
Ah yes victim blaming. We work 60 hours or more a week to keep th slights on but also gotta figure out who’s running on our exact platforms and show up to vote when we don’t get paid and find the voting stations because fuck all? Yeah ok it’s my bad for not voting in primaries lol
Yeah ok it’s my bad for not voting in primaries lol
Yes.
Excuses don’t change anything, the person in this meme has them too.
The two sides are similar, sure, but one side is hurting much more people than other.
The narrative the two sides are the same elected Trump since many shared this idea and didn’t show up to vote… MAGA for sure will go out and vote
Also what pisses me off enormously is that people (especially in politics) refuse to ever say what they actually think. They will say one thing while knowing full well that they actually mean something completely different. There needs to be more correlation between what people say and what they mean. Especially, i’m sick of parties only trying to get people’s attention and not actually having any ideals they believe in themselves.
Yeah Sherrod Brown basically threw the election. Ohio isn’t as red as its democrats seem to think
I mean this was the unironic sentiment around here in the months leading up to the 2024 election.
I think you’re conflating the RT troll accounts with actual popular opinions… And cause and effect. Even the actual “protest non voters” were upset on behalf of the, you know, active genocide happening to other people.
That is the functional difference between a conservative and basically everyone else after all, the capacity for empathy and understanding that bad things are still bad when they don’t happen to you personally.
“Can’t blame me for the death of democracy, I don’t participate.”
