Gotta love how a stupid laser eye edit is enough to send the fascists and their red painted collaborators into a spiraling rage about how easy it is to make them look like idiots.
Biden didn’t even have to do anything for this one, it was all the morons doing it to themselves
red painted collaborators
XD im keeping this one, thanks!
I don’t get it
Self proclaimed leftists who curiously always insist on the course of action that most expediently grants power to the fascists.
Usually under the guise of teaching those nasty wasty establishment dems a lesson for amything ranging from not doing what they want to doing what they want but not as zealously as they think it should have been done to attempting to do it exactly as demanded but getting blocked by the republican stacked court system, (never ask these “leftists” why the republicans were able to stack those courts), to even doing the thing exactly as demanded but it wasn’t done by Bernie Sanders or the ghost of Upton Sinclair so “fuck you and your lib shit!”
The more mask off ones will just outright say they’re accelerationists who see everyone else losing their rights and lives as worth it for the white privilege socialists to be able to have their
rapturerevolution afterwards. “First Hitler then our Turn” energy if you’re familiar with Thalman’s communist party in Weimar Germany.I’m still deciding what I’m going to do, but will the democratic party not just keep moving towards the right if they know they can get our votes as long as they’re just to the left of the republicans? Are we just cooked no matter what we do?
The US has a long way ahead if it wants to make its democracy functional again. They’re proud of their old democracy, but there’s nothing to be proud of when clearly it needs serious reforms to prevent fundamental flaws like the one you mentioned.
Direct action, community work, and trying to make people more radically democratic helps.
And all that from “red painted”?
It’s the same person who posted the original comment. They probably know what they meant.
But I still don’t :(
Since first coming into existence, Socialist groups have used the colour red (‘the blood of the people’) for their primary colour. This is why anywhere except the US, the ‘left’ parties - republicans in a ‘fuck the monarchy’ variety - use the colour red.
So the joke here is it’s non-Left-leaning people who ‘paint themselves red’ to pretend to be what they are not.
It’s their favorite color, by a mile
Be the radical leftist they’re afraid we all are.
Funny enough I thought that was the Elon Musk real account initially 🤣, I could actually see him replying that.

I thought Elon was a parody account too. Look how wrong I was.
Please be real please be real please be real
What the fuck
They reclaimed the meme and I think it’s brilliant.
They’ve been leaning into the “Dark Brandon” meme since it began. It’s a brilliant move, if a bit edgy. Pretty sure it’s actually the profile photo for their campaign account but I can’t see anything on Twitter anymore.
Omglol

Can anyone tell a European what’s going on ovah there?
Some right wing pro-Trump conspiracy theorists think that Taylor Swift is some sort of government asset and that the Super Bowl was rigged in order for the Chiefs to win and that it’d be used as a platform for Taylor Swift to endorse Biden or brainwash viewers or something.
This tweet is poking fun, like ‘everything is going according to plan’. But in real life the heavily favored team won, Swift was there because she’s the girlfriend of one of the players, and Taylor Swift fans are generally left-leaning because demographics
Oh, I’m guessing I have to deal with a shitload of Chiefs jersey wearing people yelling at work today and comparing their gambling wins?
ah yes, so the usual huh
All correct except the “heavily favored team won”. The Chiefs weren’t really seen as a good team for most of the year and weren’t expected to win.
Didn’t they win last year? Did that not factor into it?
They did win last year, but their team looked nothing like the same team for most of the season. In the last few years, they’ve been known for their high powered offense, putting up tons of receiving yards every game. This year, their offense was pretty bad, especially their receiving during regular season. But their defense was playing well and allowed them to make the playoffs. If you look at power rankings from the first week of the playoffs, most people had them in the bottom part of their rankings.
Very interesting, thank you.
Most of the year is irrelevant. They had a stellar post-season and nobody is calling it an “upset” because it wasn’t surprising to anyone that the Chiefs pulled it off.
Not sure what you’re arguing here. I didn’t call it an “upset”. I said they weren’t the “heavily favored team”.
Ok, but when a “heavily favored team” loses, that’s called an upset. I’m not really invested at all in this, just wanted to note that lots of folks were betting on the chiefs and that the regular season isn’t that good of a proxy for post season performance. I wish your favored sportsball team good fortune.

Thanks for looking out for us, champ.
Deep state interference confirmed
The better team won, but they were not picked to be the favorite. Which I think adds to the conspiracy.
The better quarterback won. Overall I think the 49ers are the better team
Absolutely insane. What are they smoking?
It turns out that the village idiot(s) are a larger percentage of our population than previously anticipated.
Possibly due to widespread chronic lead poisoning but the verdict is still out there.
And sadly COVID did too little to solve that.
I mean, I can imagine it being even worse if the anti-maskers were still around in full force.
If COVID was just a little bit more lethal to the unvaccinated we’d be in good shape right now.

This is me, but during projects new people join that I’ve been back burnering.
A while back there was an incident where someone tried to say Fuck Biden and apparently it came out sounding like Brandon. So people started saying Brandon for their own pettyness where they thought saying Brandon and not just saying fuck Biden was more professional. (Cowards)
Then Bidens office owned it after a photo came out where they cropped a blue and red background to look like Biden was just standing in front of just a red background (ominous, like the sith) instead of acting like a child and when they made “aggressive” moves or did something the republican party didn’t like they started using the term Dark Brandon that popped up online.
Republicans were saying Swift was possibly going to endorse Biden, which is dumb, why would she split her income base while making millions/billions. So the Biden administration trolled them by saying “just like we planned it” insinuating that the game was rigged for Kansas City to win, so Swift would have a large platform to announce her support.
As far as I know Swift has done nothing but tell people to make sure they vote…Republicans don’t like that, as Trump lost the majority vote in both elections he was in, but managed to still win the 2016 election due to the electorial college.

Lol Where do you want me to start. I’ll do my best. Do we start pre 1776 to understand how we got to this mess or do you want an abridged last 30 years ordeal
A while back there was an incident where someone tried to say Fuck Biden and apparently it came out sounding like Brandon.
Specifically a crowd chanted “fuck Joe Biden” and a person giving a media interview tried to play it off as them saying “Let’s go Brandon” because she was interviewing Brandon Brown live after he won a race.
From their perspective, this was intentional to try to silence them so they ran with it, and hence the meme was born. The whole point is the media being cowardly and trying to silence them (in their eyes), not them being afraid to say what they mean. So it’s supposed to be a simultaneous jab at Biden and at the media.
We don’t even know! Our politics have gone off the rail
It’s good to see the Obama-era humor

Thanks, Obama.
Thanks. I was having issues earlier getting youtube to play nice with sharing timestamped links on FF mobile and couldn’t remember the url syntax.
That’s actually funny
It would be if israel didn’t start bombing Rafah during the super bowl killing at least 67 people while israel played their $7million 30 second super bowl commercial about khamassss to brainwash Americans.
“All according to plan” with the laser eyes Dark Brandon might not be the best timed meme after that.
Idk if you know this but Joe Biden is not the president of Israel
It seems like Netanyahu is the president of America.
Man, Elon “hur hur I’m carrying a sink” Musk really has zero self-awareness…Alas, got taken in by a parody account (not that the comment isn’t accurate, it’s just not applicable in this case).
That account was a parody account…
Damn, yup, you are correct! My mistake. Poe’s Law strikes again…
Why does a “parody” account have a blue checkmark!? Oh, that’s right, they paid the money, basically making the concept pointless and adding confusion everywhere…
First time the Dark Brandon meme wasn’t just super cringe nonsense lol, good on them!
what’s it referring to? my only guess is the re-sending of a similar Israel/Ukraine support bill?
The Chiefs winning the super bowl and Taylor Swift being some QAnon conspiracy
ugh… I wasn’t thinking outside the box hard enough to connect it to the football game…
thanks though!
There’s a conspiracy theory that the Superbowl was rigged for the Chiefs so that Taylor Swift would somehow be able to throw more support to Biden. Some even said she’d come out during halftime and make a plug for him.
The last part is particularly funny considering, you know, there’s no winner yet at half time
There’s not even a winner at full time.
No see, there was a winner before the whole thing even started man
It is referring to the rampant evil fascism that both the DNC and the RNC are engaging in.
The legions of poli-sci neckbeards who actually do things in between octogenarian photo shoots are the same and aparently “The Party” only has edgy fascist violence to offer.
Meanwhile, its been exactly 10 years and Flint Michigan still does not have potable water.

Here’s Obama in Flint telling them their water is fine…

Edit: Lemmy turning into an echo chamber like Reddit politics sub has. It’s literally a video of Obama drinking Flint water and telling the people it’s fine.
Hate Trump. Hate Republicans in general.
Over the past 8 years, I have developed the same hate for Democrats.
The 2 party system must be rejected.
sir this is a joke about qanon thread

Lead levels were below the federal threshold in 2023, although they did rise in the second half of the year.
Speaking as a chemical engineer, it is impossible to remove 100% of a contaminant, no matter what substance we’re talking about. All you can do is reduce the concentration until it’s in benign levels, which is what the federal thresholds are. I had a college class that briefly mentioned it once, but the standard iirc is effectively set at a value where the increased risk of injury is lower than everyday exposure risks.
In other words – if you’re going to go all “both sides”, pick something which is an actually an issue, instead of spreading fake news and pontificating on it. If both sides are truly as equally bad as you say, you can surely find a different issue which is still a problem, instead of one that is largely solved. And hey, if this is the best you can find, maybe that says something about your claim.
A “both sides” guy should be able to show that these two parties are equally bad in all ways, or that if one party is better for one aspect they are worse in a different aspect. I don’t think they can.
Especially where we are at: one party committed an insurrection and is running the insurrectionist as their candidate. There is no room for acting like they’re equally bad, because the book burnings have already started.
Well said
If you’re mad about undrinkable water in a single city, are you not more mad about what happens to the EPA under deregulatory administrations?
It’d be funny if he weren’t actively supporting a genocide
Idk why ur being down voted, this was posted right after Israel killed about a hundred Palestinians in rafah in one hour during the Superbowl.
Okay what does one thing have to do with the other? Saying 100 civilians without more information doesn’t add or explain anything.
It looks bad and it’s tragic, vut all Israel needs to do is have a good faith military target and make a good faith attempt to warn people in the area, and while it may still look bad and will still be tragic, it won’t be criminal.
There are over a million people crammed into rafah right now. They were told it was a safe zone and they have nowhere else to go. And Israel bombed them, including camps of tents, with bombs that Biden gave them.
Edit: the targets also included 3 mosques and 14 homes (just like normal single family houses)
Nobody said Rafah was safe. They said go south, it will be safer than the north.
And Israel still warns people before airstrikes. They call them on the phone even
13,000 children are dead idk why ur still trying to do this. They bombed civilian targets, they have absolutely no excuse for that. Even if they are still warning people with phone calls, (which is doubtful considering that gaza doesn’t have super reliable electricity and connectivity, and most of the people in rafah aren’t from there so israel might not even know where they are) Israel still isn’t allowed to just blow up people’s houses without actual proof that the military importance of bombing said house outweighs the fact that it’s civilian infrastructure. Same with mosques.
They use the cell phone network to locate phones, then they send calls and texts. You can usually find recordings and screenshots after an airstrike.
Of course, the media basically never reports on it.
If there is a tunnel under the building, that’s not a civilian target.
Ok, I’ll be waiting here for evidence that there were tunnels being used by hamas under every single one of those homes, and that israel was using bunker busters to actually destroy them. But I don’t expect i’ll ever get that, because Israel consistently lies about this stuff and then just waits for people to forget it instead of backing up their claims.
This is funny.
Trump trolls can’t argue about that, so they’re here pretending to suddenly care about Palestine or wars in general, worthless deplorables
You know, or people who voted for Biden in the 2020 general election and won’t vote for him in 2024 for being a strike blocking, genocide supporting piece of shit.
Care about trans!!! Like this past Sunday shooter girl!
Missed opportunity to say “Jack”. Those crack me up.
this reelection campaign is getting cringier and cringier.
how about not financing war and misery?
how about not breaking up strikes?
This comment could literally apply to every president. Does Joe and the democrats suck? Yes! But at least they wouldn’t be actively trying to destroy America like Trump and Republicans.
Declaring 3 wars and getting us closer than ever to ww3 isnt actively destroying anything??? You guys are delusional.
Yes! Your entire system is broken as fuck, and you next president is also gonna do this regardless. It applies to every president because they are all bad.
Great input. Wanna watch fight club together? Would that calm you down?
sure, if thats gonna help you avoid dealing with the fascism your country is exporting to the world. maybe that helps when you get your hospital bills too.
i know change is scary. there, there.
What was your constructive suggestion again? Cause all I heard was bitching with no clear sense on how we INSTALL AN ENTIRELY NEW GOVERNMENT. Thanks in advance.
leftism has all types of converging answers to that. there are enough ideas backed by practice to pick your poison comfortably.
spoilers: its generally accepted you will have to get off the couch more than once every four years to vote for a 90-yr old. and actually read a few books maybe.
… oh, we will just do that than. So simple. Why didn’t you say earlier?
