Little did they expect the black, gay, trans Muslim, with Chinese heritage, who was a former MS13 member, but who also got out of it and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to start a career in science.
Panic grips the RNC, people screaming, foaming at the mouth, scrawling “the end is near” in the blood of an intern on the wall. Pure chaos.
This person chooses to support Donald Trump, and they’re temporarily okay
This comment made me wonder what happened to Caitlyn Jenner. I mean not enough to look it up but still wonder.
You got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She’s a good candidate for !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world.
Aaaannnnd she’s already there, lol.
This is actually quite progressive. For decades they only blamed blacks, then also a few decades gays and “communists”. And now they actually have a new thing every year. They are moving forward with society, always staying up to date. It’s like conservatism, but for the fresh cool kids.
We’re still getting blamed often. I haven’t in a month or two, but normally I listen to a podcast called Knowledge Fight which critically analyzes Alex Jones and a few similar grifters in a taking them in full context way(generally outlets miss the truly heinous stuff Jones says for quick soundbites, and he uses it as a defense to his audience).
Now you may think ol AJ isn’t relevant, but you still see right wing talking points come either early on his show or he repeats them quickly. He keeps basically a “rogues gallery” of people to blame for whatever, and BLM, Jessie Smollet, Obama aren’t always on the list, but at least one of them shows back up monthly, along with Antifa, Soros, Klaus Schwab, communism, Bill Gates, vaccines, trans people, gay people, China, etc
It’s not that they stopped blaming black people (and never stopped blaming queer people), it’s that they have so many buzz words to swap us out on rotation. They haven’t forgotten though. They still hate us.
What about the satanic panic, dugs, teen STDs (ok that one is fine to be worried about), violent video games, rock music…
My parents listened to conservative talk radio non-stop when I was a kid. I still remember listening to Micheal Savage scream about small meatballs at the restaurant being a liberal conspiracy and knowing how full of shit he was. I was about 11.
The 24 hour hate cycle.

I don’t consider this a shitpost.
I’ve been thinking about it and it doesn’t really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I’m going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @GhostFence@lemmy.world, this isn’t really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn’t especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.
One thing I wish would have died with Reddit is this adamant OCD of “putting everything exactly where it belongs, and only one time until the end of time”. What if a post is both “wtf” and “shitpost” at the same time? You wouldn’t be able to post it to either because both would theoretically reject it as not belonging there. It would be trivial to find a reason for every single post made to this sublemmy to be removed because it violated some minute nuance of some kind of Platonic ideal form of “shitpost”.
Anyone who has ever tried to micro-organize a whole ocean of things ranging from files on a HDD to the complete stock of a supermarket will know being rigidly committed to a strict definition based structure is unfeasible and a completely non-working model.
I think it is pretty implicit that a post in this community should strive to have a level of amusement. I sure don’t find this post amusing, do you? It’s far too accurate and disgusting to be amusing.
People do not come to Lemmy Shitpost to get pissed off. That’s pretty much the opposite of why people come here.
2024 - Mexicans at the border (you know it’s already happening)
While I’m in none of these groups, having survived the rock’n roll-, black mass- / satanic(1)-, killer videogame-, terrorism-, social justice- / SJW-, safe space-, socialism-/communism-, antifa-, cabal-, satanic(2)-, CRT- and woke-panic, I feel underrepresented.
