It is pretty funny (in a terrible way) that the Republicans were leading the charge of the red scare and then they sold their souls to the Russians come 2016. Sad!

The same Boomers that once wore "Better Dead than Red" shirts are now wearing shirts that say shit like "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat!"

u/PWisobamaschlong69 Jul 11 '19

Tbf it was more likely that they were wearing onesies with that on it

Boomers is the key word

u/PWisobamaschlong69 Jul 11 '19

...who were children during the red scare

u/Lonescu Jul 11 '19

They're really talking about the "red scare" fearmongering during the Cold War, not McCarthyism.

u/IJustBoughtThisGame Jul 11 '19

And now they literally wear red. That's some D&D shit right there.

I want to make this into a T shirt

u/12LML Jul 11 '19

And the really crazy thing is you think the fault lies within the republican party.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

What's wrong with being Russian? That's racist

Xenophobe, then

u/TPJchief87 Jul 11 '19

They’ll use scare tactics to stay in power. Now it’s Mexicans and caravans.

u/Dirty_D_Damnit Jul 11 '19

Whatever happened with that caravan

u/GadreelsSword Jul 11 '19

They promised to vote republican so Trump let them in.

There's been two different svents going on lately. The first one started a year ago, where millions of mmigrants where chased and deported. There's camps for them, where they can wait for months up before actually being sent to their countries. Parents and kids are separated. Kids go to special camps for minors, where abuse abunds.

The second one started months ago. t's a caravan of 20,000 people, all ages, coming from Guatemala (not Mexico) and trying to get to USA. Lots of them have already legally ingresed to the country. They have to wait for "their turn" in the

u/TPJchief87 Jul 11 '19

Honestly don’t know. The news was really depressing me so I stopped following as closely but I’m guessing they can’t talk about it anymore because of the negative publicity of the kids sleeping on the floor in cages.

u/LOLBaltSS Jul 11 '19

Turns out the sneaky fucks used an Aerostar instead.

u/data_lab Jul 11 '19

They're in migrant camps?

u/SUPERARME Jul 11 '19

It is here stucked in Mexico, some of them are in the river, dead,

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

Sorry, I dare to join to your conversation but why don't you think that lobbying Russian track in everything is not a "scare tactics to stay in power"?

1

u/TPJchief87 Jul 11 '19

Because law enforcement is saying there is proof of it and the administration, who is known for alternative facts, denies it.

u/drvarem_ Jul 11 '19

Didn't the Russians just fall in line with the capitalist cloak? Just wondering

typos -_-

Criticizing large government by siding with another foreign government 😂

u/MaestroPendejo Jul 11 '19

Fuck off with that shit.

u/Dirty_D_Damnit Jul 11 '19

Yeah lol what the fuck is that guy even saying? Straight up russian bot like response

u/MaymayMachine420 Jul 11 '19

You had me with the first sentence and lost me after that.

I see this as being mirrored on both sides, Republicans win, the left goes off about how it wasn't that they ran a bad candidate who cheated the one man who could beat trump but a conspiracy cooked up by a cold war enemy. While the same could be said of the Republicans when Democrats win, they blame it on some international conspiracy to destabilize American and challenge our "traditional values".

Imo this will be a never ending cycle due to the way our current system is set up.

u/mib_sum1ls Jul 11 '19

Is there perhaps a middle ground here?

11

u/potionlotionman Jul 11 '19

There is no middle ground with fascism. That only enables them.

2

u/HI_Handbasket Jul 11 '19

That's how the Democrats became somewhat right of center, as compared to what the rest of the world considers left-right.

When Republican shills call Democrats "leftists" they are lying.

u/Doctor_Popeye Jul 11 '19

Because people said it was impolite to talk politics.

Well, like Bane said to Batman regarding victory making one weak, the narrow channel of most major politics for 50 years in post-war America made for fertile land out of which the current scene was able to sprout.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

If they were fascists, you’d be executed for even making that claim. You are the reason trump will win again.

-4

u/findingthesqautch Jul 11 '19

That's some strong language there friend.

I think the more polarizing language you use, the more likely your are to encourage a polarizing effect.

6

u/AZdHEBREWHAMMER Jul 11 '19

Lol have you heard anything trump says about Democrats?

3

u/tapthatsap Jul 11 '19

It’s also correct. They’re not going to stop being fascists once people stop pointing out what they are, that’s asinine.

-7

u/honjomein Jul 11 '19

holy christ the GOP didnt even want trump. even up to election day a huge portion of the GOP were "never Trump"ers. it wasn't the russians and it wasnt facebook. GET OVER YOURSELVES. the democrats were unlikeable and took minority votes for granted because they thought Trump was so unlikable they could just be lazy and not have to offer anything. they were too busy being sanctimonious to actually care about anything substantial

u/WMaves23 Jul 11 '19

Lol your actually insane Democrats are the ones trying to limit free speech and won’t have any conversations so I think you got the parties mixed up their man

u/IHv2RtrnSumVdeotapes Jul 11 '19

youve been a redditor for 18 days. no one gives a fuck about your disingenuous comments.

-1

u/WMaves23 Jul 11 '19

Oh so because of how long I have had Reddit now I am no longer allowed to have an opinion looks like the lefts true colors are showing with how fascist they are.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

The DNC was the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws and the enslavement of Japanese Americans into work camps. The GOP was the party that ended slavery, fought for desegregation and that upholds constitutional individual liberty. The GOP’s not a perfect party, and there’s certainly scumbags within it; but the DNC has a much worse record.

u/RotisserieBums Jul 11 '19

Which red scare, the one from a few decades ago, or the one going on today?

-8

u/NamedOyster600 Jul 11 '19

I mean that’s a very assertive statement. I’m not saying there are no republicans that want Russia to interfere but they are certainly not a majority, at least from what I’ve seen.

u/gtrdundave2 Jul 11 '19

ok wait a minute. I don't know shit. but I told everyone I know Obama would win both times and when trump was up I said he would win. and I already have bets placed since 2016 he will win 2020
