            I want to say you’re wrong about that but frankly it’s plausible enough at this point to be scary

            That said, let’s make him have to blatantly try and take it by force, give him no legitimate claim to it. Even if he pulls that, I still think that’s a better outcome than him winning in any capacity.

            The United States Military and the US Strategic Forces stand ready to fulfill our oaths to the Constitution. The Strategic Forces, in particular, stand ready to launch upon the receipt of a valid and authentic order to do so. And those of us who still take our oaths seriously stand ready to respond with whatever force is necessary to stop those traitors within our ranks who would defy or threaten the Constitution, in accordance with all rules and regulations set forth. Hooyah.

      Trump supporters love him so much because “he tells it like it is”. I doubt they’re going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that’s right, because he doesn’t have the R in front of his name. He’s also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.

    I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.

            Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.

              I’m not much of a troll these days, but I do enjoy when people will give my generally bad language on Masto a pass, but clutch their pearls when I call something or someone a cunt. Which I’m wont to do because I’m English.

              Here’s my read on it - looking up the definition of cunt, it’s “a woman’s genitals” so essentially you’re associating women’s genitalia with something negative, specifically an insult. It doesn’t necessarily make sense seeing as calling someone a dick is fine and isn’t seen as being so vulgar.

              It baffled me for a while until I realized that some people take it as a reduction of them to that body part. Like “the only useful part of you is your cunt/dick”.

              I always saw it as more of a metaphor, dicks fuck things up, assholes make things shitty, cunts are fucked (and each of those are metaphors since I don’t think there’s anything wrong with literally fucking or being fucked as long as everyone involved is good with it).

              Though I still don’t understand why people give others the kind of power over them where they can upset them with their choice of words, before the meaning of their message even comes into play.

    Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck’s sake, it’s a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn’t afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of “W-we c-can’t say anything m-mean about the fascists…”

      I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.

      We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.

      Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.

        Dutton literally went in ads recently to help them sell Dodge Rams… which is a car nobody wants here

        And the libs aren’t even the worst. It’s scary by how many idiots are reposting nonsense from the far right parties

        The real problem seems to be that Facebook isn’t moderated anymore, and we clearly need laws in place to force them to do so.

        Good luck to you and your compatriots. It hasn’t done much in the United States. Trump has been steadily gaining for over a month and now Kamala is sliding, so I’m not sure if calling them weird dipshits does much, but it does feel good.

      The dude claims the Democrats want to end democratic elections, despite Trunk’s literal attempts to overturn a free and fair election, last time, and this time by planting loyalist governors he hopes won’t certify a Democratic win.

      He’s jumping for joy on stage because what he sees is the freedom for himself to do whatever the fuck he wants without being regulated, and you even be given a role in government where he gets to make his own rules.

      Dipshit is a much more relatable summary I think.
