“No one in their right mind is backing 2025…”
Then why did YOU?!
“It’s just a joke”
I’d like to start a new response of “I don’t care if you’re joking, you’re still an asshole”.
Ahh yes the joke that they posted a several hundred page memo about and had been celebrating up until the point they realized it had gotten spread and they were getting criticized for it.
Lighten up bro! It’s just words on paper. Nobody understands it.
Florida man.
Conservatives: I like [insert obnoxious conservative figurehead] because they tell it like it is, they mean what they say
Also conservatives, sometimes in the same breath: Fake! [obnoxious conservative figurehead] didn’t mean that! Taken out of context! 'Tis but a jape!
Jesus fuck the reality distortion field is strong, it’s like doublethink but without being a clever social trick to survive, it’s just they’re that stupid.
“He’s probably just joking” is something I heard so much over the past few years about things the right has been spewing. THEY ARE NOT JOKING, THEY ARE NEVER JOKING! I don’t know how this is a hard thing to understand.
Also, if they are lying about these things, why did they vote for a liar? A lot of people who called agenda 2025 fake or lies still voted for the party representing it.
Fuck, my neighbor says the same every time Trump says something awful. “Trump just talks a lot of shit, he’s just joking.”
Fuck you neighbor, you approved leadership from the guy who encouraged putting kids in cages.
I’m sorry I thought we were having an election for president, not jester.
Putting kids in cages to sell them.into child sex trafficking because trump and his cronies ARE THE PEDOPHILES THAT MAGA IS LOOKING FOR
Trump says ‘I don’t kid’ after aides argue he was joking about slowing coronavirus testing.
he was joking about that you too, of course
Also, why the fuck is it cool for a politician to joke about doing shit? Literally any joke is not cool.
For people who apparently joke so much they sure as shit ain’t funny
I used to have a boss who like to joke about firing people on his team. He was a nice guy and there was no ill intention behind the jokes, but we eventually had to sit him down and tell him that he couldn’t joke about that stuff because it causes a great deal of stress to people given his position.
Another example is bomb jokes in airports. Aside from just being in poor taste, that’s something that will get you arrested and probably put on a no-fly list for life because it’s an extremely serious matter with no exceptions.
So, even if Trump and his people are just joking about these horrible things, it’s completely unacceptable when it’s entirely believable they would do this stuff and would be in a position to make it happen.
TLDR: There are just some things you don’t fucking joke about.
I joke about firing people sometimes, but I am not a manager and never want to be managing anyone. I only say it to people who know that I have no power over them which is the only time this joke is OK.
I do IT at a semiconductor foundry, and only us and managers walk around with laptops. I don’t even have to say anything, and people get in panic mode and scramble to look like they are working until I say don’t worry, I’m just IT. I won’t say a word.
Sounds like you hate free speech! You would really imprison others for a difference of opinion??!
—any random trumpfuck
I remember a story of a young manager joking about firing people. The older manager pulled him to the side and told him you can’t do that because that can hit people.
Every single time any of them say anything atrocious, it gets dismissed by the people who realize how bad it is as a joke.
Every single time.
This is why America deserves everything it voted for this time around.
A lot of people are going to suffer who didn’t vote for him. This is as callous as the fascists.

Can you see how that doesn’t change the response you replying to?
Some people didn’t vote for him
Well other people didn’t vote
Are two unrelated statements.
The people who voted for evil do.
The people who failed to vote against evil do, but less.
The people who voted against evil? No fuckin chance.
“America” is too wide a brush, but I get talking that way.
Have a civil war then
Conservative / fascist leaders deserve it, the rest of us do not. The kids who were too young to vote, the leftists who fight against fascism, and the workers who don’t have the time to follow politics do not deserve any of what is to come.
That goes against what I believe so I will reject it.
This is America.
Don’t catch you slippin’ now
The velocity of those goalposts is astounding.
Goalpost Railgun
The Narcissist’s Prayer
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
Stupid fascist fucks.
Ich habe es nicht gewust
Let me be a grammar Nazi. It’s “gewusst”. But spot on, yes.
For non-german speakers: “I didn’t knew of this”. In a reference to Nazi germany when Hitler and the NSDAP publicised a lot of their plans inb4. Just like HF with P2025.
Let me further be a grammar Nazi, technically there is no double s in German. It would be the eszett. It looks like a capital b with a little tail.
Not true at all. Of course we also have a double s (look under Current Usage) in some words. “gewusst” is one of those words.
All this talk of German and Nazis is starting to make me uncomfortable around here…
In gewusst there is no ß. The Eszett only gets written if the vowel before it is pronounced long.
Oh this… So much of this.
This is like the UK voting for brexit only to start searching “what will brexit do for me” the day AFTER the vote…
It sucks sonbad that dictatorships don’t work, because democracy with stupid people doesn’t work either and most people are just. So. Stupid…
For that vote, we actually had a whole-ass government produced booklet through the door.
It supported Remain and explained all the shit that would happen if Leave went through.
The plebs saw some lies about the NHS slapped on the side of a bus, suspended all intelligence, and voted Leave. In my eyes the majority was not strong enough to consider changing foundation policy, but here we are.
All the turmoil promised came to fruition.
Republicans consider a “joke” to mean what they retroactively designate something that they meant in earnest as soon as they get pushback.

They’ve lied so much and gaslit so much that people don’t know what to believe anymore.
And with all the AI and Russian troll farm bullshit being posted on social media, it’s just poisoning the truth. It’s time to ditch Twitter, Facebook and company.
I keep telling my folks that and that they’ll end up being influenced and manipulated but they refuse because of how convenient it is. And I almost have to keep it because that’s the only way they communicate right now.
