generic name man can **** right off

The right is fearing the impact of the swifties:

The irony of that first sentence...

[nocera]

Reminder that the only thing she promoted was registering to vote. Not voting democrat or republican… simply registering.

Click *here* to buy red MAGA hat

[mikey]

Wait, wait, wait...this conspiracy theory (I guess?) twitter user drops some weird ass **** and the response is...
"Look at how stupid...look at the irony..." etc. as if it's real news...

Not one person goes..."that source don't count"

But when a video of a public hearing or when a screenshot of something is posted...the content is ignored and the source (which is really just a second-hand vehicle in those cases) is the first thing discussed...

I know the source will get attacked here too, but man, you guys are ****** gold haha

[count2infinity]

Pretty sure it’s a joke post that’s not actually worthy of any thought or discussion, but okay…

[mikey]

Oops...doesn't count!

[count2infinity]

Doesn’t count for what?

[AuthorTony]

Sigh. This schtick is so tired that the Pens power play is more exciting.

I am sure I am in the bucket of posters “in the wrong”.

But I have completely lost the plot on the Mikey angle here

There was someone posting all of these screenshots from X/Twitter of MAGA dopes complaining that Taylor Swift is not a good person because she is letting her eggs waste away by not being married and pumping out kids. Very very strange line of thinking.

It's a movement. Stephen Miller is even in on the act. The guy who might be attorney general if Trump wins in '24.

Commit to the bit, man.

I think he’s just bored.

I can only speak for myself, but I didn't discount the source of that public hearing video (and said as much). In fact, my point was sort of why the people in Congress were not using that same source for similarly pointed questioning of the owner of said source.

Kinda. We're only allowed to discuss some things here. Anything that challenges the bullies is dismissed out of hand, generally...it creates a pretty sh*tty area for discussion...

This is your crew's shtick...not mine. I just notice haha

If you guys can't see the pattern of behavior - and it's all the way back to the beginning of this thread - that murders conversation, promotes bullying, has created a completely lopsided representation of viewpoints (and far fewer people who will even try), etc. then *whistles*

I'm pointing it out quite clearly for you all to see in short succession just for a shot at self awareness...but blissfully, no...it's impressive. It really is. And I'm guessing it's just an online thing, right? Like, I can't imagine that most of you act like this in real life in terms of having a conversation. The lot of you seem pretty normal...outside of this fierce protectionist standpoint behind...what...an empty political party full of thieves and hypocrites or to ensure that your own personal point of view on things is not even remotely challenged...

I regret it every time I open this thread

I'm reminded of the time I made a joke about something stupid Trump did during his presidency by saying "This is normal" and a poster whose name rhymes with Bikey scolded me about how it added nothing to the very serious discourse taking place in this thread.
