Well a Republican wouldn’t be a Republican if they’re weren’t hypocritical, whiney-ass beotches after all.

Well this is what I think since I often fall into that kind of thinking and kind of reflected on how I recently voted on a proposition.

It was increase to the sales tax to make the area “safer and vibrant” and touted as a major way in this prop was providing help for affordable housing. My brain went immediately jumped to the more progressive leaning side and went, I’d love to help those who can’t afford housing and yeah, I don’t mind paying a bit more tax even though I don’t particularly like the whole more regressive taxation kind of thing but overall it would be a great thing. Then I looked at the break down and saw that only 17 percent of the funding would actually go toward affordable housing.

That’s where the more fiscally conservative part went, huh, well that doesn’t pass the sniff test if you’re making this about affordable housing and making things “safer” for them and the community dafuq is it only 17 percent of the budget there? Well digging in, 45 percent of this would have gone to cops and first responders, heavy emphasis on cops with articles going on about how the cops were looking forward to buying a helicopter. That fiscally conservative part of me went, yeah, that’s wasting my god damn tax money then.

At that point my NWA part of the brain went, you assholes want to hire more cops with no change in hiring standards where we already have a problem with way too many racists ass police, give them cars, helicopters, more tasers and guns, and body cameras that we don’t have access to the footage and no consequences if these assholes turn them off during an their encounters with the public? ACAB you bunch of tone deaf jackasses and Fuck the Police.

Needless to say, I did not vote for that increase in taxes.

So grotesque and yet I can’t look away.

Yes but they keep voting to have their lifespans cut.

I think this hand ain’t invisible. Well at least one finger isn’t.

As in spray paint? My opinion, no.

Slapping a swastika decal on it that is technically removable without damage. Yes.

And mind you that Jeffries just four days ago when asked by a reporter to what extent would Democrats would be willing to withhold votes to resist the upcoming budget bill, Jefferies answered with, and I’m paraphrasing, “What leverage do Democrats have? We just want to find a bipartisan solution to this budget battle and will work with Republicans to find common ground”.

Nothing but bullshit, weak tea words from this guy and no actions to back anything up.

Considering your first post was laughing your ass off and bragging about it being a “Absolutely well deserved ban”, it wasn’t sending any indication that you were up for a actual conversation.

The fact that you think that simply saying “Fuck yes” is an attack is ridiculous.

As for their criticism, I never said they were unwarranted did I? I know what their position are, hell I agreed with a lot of it, I simply think they were flawed in their strategy to being with and endorsing Trump was a stupid move. None of that matters now because Trump is in office and yeah, they had a significant impact on a swing state so guess what they do get to shoulder blame on getting Trump elected and don’t get to say “don’t blame us for Trump winning” when you did have a part, they made a stand, own the results. Arab Americans, Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Whites made a choice to vote for Trump, to vote for Stein, to vote for no one, which also was a point I made, and now all Americans have to deal with the consequences and there’s plenty of blame to go around.

End of the day, you get what you voted for and suffer or prosper from the choices you make and the choice was Trump so deal because you don’t have a hypothetical Harris to deal with now.

I’ve actually been using lemmy for a while, I guess I’ve just been lucky enough to have never comment in one of these in all that time. But live and learn and good to know.

Oh I definitely see .ml in a different light and you sure did help me realize that.

You think that’s “attacking” people? Man you are a ultra sensitive bunch aren’t you? You think pointing out actions have consequences is “attacking” people? Cripes, how do you deal with the real world then?

Whatever, I think at this point given the members who have been commenting, yeah pretty much I agree I got a well deserved ban.

Shit, I guess I really should avoid .ml then considering my own background on China.

I wonder if you can turn that ban into a speed run kind of like Club Penguin.

Nice find. I mean no big loss being banned from there, just kind of sad and pathetic if you ask me.

1. No bigotry, it’s laughable they think that’s bigoted.

I couldn’t even if I wanted to since I’m no true scotsman and was banned after a single initial post. Very pathetic of the people there and very sad that the people there are so fragile they can’t handle any sense of dissent. I mean that’s a lot of conservative energy there.

I would have no idea. There was no message, direct or otherwise.

You would have no idea if I strongly disagreed with you or not, well maybe not you since I know I disagree with you since you went full accusation of racism out of the box. It’s like humans can have multiple and sometimes conflicting ideas.

Banning a person over a single post, the very first post mind you, with no discussion, no exchange of ideas, just ban is pathetic behavior.

But you do you, after all, like you said, no one has an inherent right to be a part of your community, which is absolutely true, still that community is pretty pathetic to be doing things like that.

Clearly not anything of value there if this is the average user.

Okay there bucko. Pretty big brained leap to go from the idea of pointing out a specific group Arab Americans who endorsed Trump has to shoulder some of the blame for giving Trump the power to ethnically cleanse Gaza and turn it into Mar-a-Lago II fascist boogaloo equates to being racist there.

Damn, if that’s the “atmosphere” then I guess it no better than r/conservative.
