@realcaseyrollins Trump is awful. no reason to support him at this point
@realcaseyrollins ok, outside of being an accelerationist or racist.
@realcaseyrollins I don't care what he thinks personally honestly, I care about his actions.

Most racists support him.

@mewmew

> I don't care what he thinks personally honestly, I care about his actions.

Yeah, same, that's why I'm voting for him.

> Most racists support him.

Not much I can do about that lol

@realcaseyrollins @mewmew I dunno, lotta racists supporting Biden too, it’s just the racism everyone is okay with.

@Locksmith @mewmew Mm IDK, it's widely known that is a closeted anti-black racist, with a history of associating with the , making racist statements and supporting policies that destroyed the black family structure, sending it into generational cycles of poverty.

@realcaseyrollins @Locksmith I think we have different definitions of "widely known" here.

Trump was endorsed by David Duke, a former Klan leader. He said there were good people in Charlottesville "on both sides".

Biden's support of certain crime policies were indeed awful and did do what you suggested - but they were bipartisan actions - framing it as things that only Biden did were deceptive. They were wrong, and we know that now - which is why Biden is now against them.

@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @Locksmith We both know when Trump made the statement “on both sides” he said that after very specifically damning the nazi’s and was referring only to the regular people on both political sides.

@mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins Yes, but the leftist definition of “alt right” includes almost everyone who isn’t also a leftist. They had a rally, all sorts of people showed up. Some were racist and there was violence, and Trump condemned them.

@shebang @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins no, it doesn't. the rally was to support keeping monuments of traitors around. there was no one good there.
@mewmew @shebang @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins why didn't we just kill everyone in the south since they were traitors. We just made up with them. Clearly there was some kind of thought process in doing that. I wonder what it was.
@Moon @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang "after WWII why didn't we kill all the Germans? this is why we put up Hitler statues in Poland"
@mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang I think you may be missing the salient point that it was a civil war.
@Moon @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang so?

putting up statues of losers 50 years after the war happened has nothing to do with making up with them.

maybe we should, y'know, make up with the people who were enslaved by taking down statues of people who fought for them to be enslaved?
@mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang Why make up with them? I'm calling out your "loser" shit. They were losers.
@Moon @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang yeah? sore losers. who can't admit that they, and their awful ideas, lost.
@mewmew @Moon @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang A good chunk of Native Americans actually did fight on the side of the Confederacy and some of them were slaveowners.
@mewmew @ArdanianRight @Moon @realcaseyrollins @shebang u fuckin what? they were all innocent angels and racist america killed them!
@ArdanianRight Aye, and some native Americans refused to give their freed slaves citizenship which is why we have the 14th Amendment.


@mewmew @Locksmith @Moon @realcaseyrollins @shebang
@Moon @mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang He's finally broke and hit Trump syndrome. "We're winners and you're losers!"
Isn't neoliberalism wonderful? Politics has now become a Capture The Flag with two teams who take turns winning and losing. The actual material living conditions for the players though? Only continues getting worse.
@mewmew @Moon @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @shebang Americans should put up a Statue of Hitler and say they wanna immortalize the enemies they've won against. Then have a national Hitler day to celebrate victory over Hitler, I'd come too and bring my favourite swastica shirt
@realcaseyrollins @mewmew @igel @shebang @Moon I want to see an elaborate fireworks show depicting hitler blowing his brains out.
@Moon @mewmew @realcaseyrollins @shebang because its better to try to unite america than kill half of it? reconciliation isn't always the best move, but sometimes it is.
@mewmew @shebang @realcaseyrollins The rally was about not removing monuments good or bad, obv focused on this one because that was the only one they were talking about removing at the time. I def think there are good arguments for keeping historical monuments around. if you look at whats happening in america today, it def looks like some people didn't pay attention in history class and it will be a shame if it repeats.
@mewmew @shebang @realcaseyrollins The rally became mostly an alt-right rally. it started out as a general right-wing rally. some people didn't get the memo and still showed up.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @Locksmith Biden is only supporting early-bird dinners and reduced-cost Ensure these days, he's not in charge of his own platform or campaign. Joe Biden is a Weekend-at-Bernie's puppet and everyone knows it. Better a crass egotist than a 100% shadow government run by god-knows-who behind the scenes.

I'm incredibly goddamned disappointed in the DNC because if they'd thrown their full support behind Gabbard, Yang, or even Klobuchar there might have been a chance of winning 2020 and having a non-ludicrous federal government for a few years, but instead they pushed this pathetic old man who doesn't know where he is half the time. It's devastating.
@Grandtheftautism @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins I disagree with you there. Biden is a worse candidate than any of those you have mentioned but there isn't good evidence of him having much more than a stutter.
@mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins how about that time when he was doing a livestream town hall and just walked off muttering

@Grandtheftautism @mewmew @Locksmith Oh yes and literally almost every speech and interview where he forgets what he's saying in the middle of his sentence and says "well, anyways" or "I'm taking up too much time"

@mewmew His oratory and rhetorical skills seemed fine up until a few years. I remember Biden debating Paul Ryan during the 2012 election and pretty much walking all over him. Hell, here's a clip of him from 2016 where he still seems fine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li4PG7nmlyM)

He's been in politics for 50 years at this point. You would think if it were a stutter then it'd be old news. Also, he's at that age where cognitive decline is absolutely a thing. @Grandtheftautism @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins
@dave @mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins if you search "joe biden forgets" there's literally a dozen or more videos of him forgetting where he is, forgetting what office he's running for, forgetting staff member's names, forgetting the Declaration of Independence, and forgetting what he was talking about in general. To anybody who's ever dealt with a foggy old person in their family, the signs are obvious.
@Grandtheftautism @mewmew @Locksmith @realcaseyrollins Biden/Ginsberg: they will sure grab the zombie fan vote. The Walking Dead was a big hit for a long time.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins endorsed by doesn't mean the person they endorse is racist lol. and that is exactly why i turned it around to the other side, because you can say any politician is supported by x racist. racists vote too, shock!

the most often cited piece of misinformation...
he said "on both sides" if you stopped listening to the interview right there, because he also said "and i'm not talking about the white supremacists and the neo-nazis".
@Locksmith @realcaseyrollins
> he said "on both sides" if you stopped listening to the interview right there, because he also said "and i'm not talking about the white supremacists and the neo-nazis".

everyone there was either a traitor, a white supremacist, or a neo-nazi. there weren't good people "on both sides" - when one side is advocating for keeping the statue of traitors.

@mewmew @Locksmith Mmm this stems from the fallacy that people who disagree with you too much can't be good people.
