    It’s always “just a joke” when people get offended.

      I’m just joking but I hope he has an accident involving his dick and a Lazy Boy recliner mechanism.

      I hope I didn’t offend anyone.

        I’m pretty sure that’s offensive to Lay-Z-Boy recliners.

          Can confirm. I became a lay-z-boy recliner just to be offended.

      This is their whole position on wokeness. I can say all the offensive shit I want and not be held accountable, but if you offend my sensibility, I am gonna clutch my pearls so hard I’ll squeeze a diamond outta my cooch.

      Well you can’t expect Republicans to not be hypocritical snowflake assholes, it’s officially written into their religious and party values.

      This is the first I’m hearing about this Doritos video, and yeah, it’s a little silly and straight outta context, but it’s nowhere as wildly weird as thinking that a goof about a dommy nommy mommy feeding her pet is sacrilegious.

        This doesn’t fit. It’s just hypocracy. They aren’t intolerant of some things because it hurts people. They are intolerant of things they don’t like and intolerant of people disagreeing with them.

    “I’m so over people complaining about racism,” says wealthy white politician from the racist party. More news at 11.

    I’d like someone to explain what the joke is in calling one of our colonies a “trash island”

    Please, some big brained masculine conservative explain it to me.

    Well, looks like many people are not “so over it”.
    Also, should we really “get over” pushing back at racist shit?
    Your argument is weak, you get an F. Go sit down and think about what you did.

    This is why you can’t use The Independent for shit especially during election season.

    “I haven’t seen the joke. Maybe it’s a stupid racist joke, maybe it’s not,” Vance said.

    “I’m not going to comment on the specifics of the joke, but I think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the United States of America. I’m just I’m so over it.”

    If you send this article to someone who wants to vote for Trump, they are going to correctly excoriate you. I know this because the last time I used The Independent this was was 2016 when Trump first and The Independent couldn’t back up its headlines then. In the last eight years it still can’t. If we take Vance at face value, which we know we can’t but we have to since that’s the quote The Independent chose to use to create their headline, it’s fake news.

    In general, The Independent generates clickbait headlines that pull in a specific group of people that want to agree with the article and won’t verify who then send it to another group of people who will engage with the content to try and verify. This increases their engagement while spreading a mix of blatant lies and loose misinformation. Your life will be better if you filter out The Independent (something I haven’t yet bothered to do on Lemmy but did immediately on a new Reddit account; election season might finally change this) especially if you’re the audience for the headlines.

    So … he’s OK with being openly racist?

    That’s one of the shitty quality I dislike about conservatives, especially far right and ultra conservatives. They know that the things they believe are wrong, immoral, unethical and inequitable so they have to say how they feel in secret or in coded language or to obfuscate everything they say and deny everything if they are called on it.

    I dislike them because they are cowardly for being racist … I also dislike them for being cowardly in their denial that they are racist.

      Look around you. Yes, they’re OK with being openly racist. It’s staggering to me that you’re just finding this out.
