Bluesky libs love The Onion.

But that article was very unpopular there. I searched for it and I saw it had been posted over and over again the last ~24 hours. Everybody was fishing for likes. I started at the top of the search again and I scrolled down. I stopped after I had seen ~14 posts. The highest rated post was 6 likes.

I guess it's not funny if you can imagine it actually happening in excruciating detail.

I think it would be funny if it happened

Who else are they going to vote for in 2028?

Somewhere Gretchen Whitmer is crying.

In all seriousness - other than Newsom - it's pretty hard for me to imagine any dem firing up the base and even coming close to winning.

Somewhere Bernie is saying "What am I chopped liver?"

To be honest - I don't remember his 2020 delegate and popular vote numbers at all. But I'll bloviate for a while anyway. I don't think he'd ever have a chance to be president other than sneaking in the backdoor by being the veepee and getting lucky somehow. I think his elite appeal doesn't translate to average Americans. The public probably see him as friendly but also a technocrat dork who doesn't know how to eat a barbequed rib. And I assume if he somehow got the nomination - he'd run a hilariously bad campaign in the general. He's expend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to get "left-leaning" GOP to vote for him.

The GOP is openly fash - of course - and his plan would be a big loser. Many GOP will never vote for a gay person. But I don't think he'd accept that. He'd assume he had Obama 2.0 magic and he has enough moderate right-wing cred to get votes.

That was fun. It got my mind off 2025 hellworld.

He's got a beard now, though. And he's from the Midwest. He's clearly a man of the people.

I'm going to have to work harder to be silly or the h word will grind me down.

The Democrats run a headless Gavin in 2028.

Imagine Joe Biden's decrepit old head grafted onto Gavin's supple California liberal body.

It is interesting to think about. What, actually, would happen if they did this? Would there be an uptick in protestors? Or would people be cowed? This isn’t France, part of me thinks people would just roll over.

I don't see libs doing anything. They'll probably post stuff on their social media profile pictures

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

It’ll be like the black square trend, but this time they’ll be yanking their tshirt collars over their heads to make it look like they too have been beheaded

Excuse me? Of course liberals would do something! They'd get out and vote gosh darnit! Vote like their life depended on it!

"Sir! Sir! Are you aware that beheading people is murder and therefore a crime? Sir! Sir! Please don't walk away from me sir!"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Lol when they mock thoughts and prayers. Mf they do the same shit essentially i-cant

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I genuinely believe they'd get over it in a few weeks

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Nah, i feel like the agent who did the beheading could get one free pass for the wall.

Love your name btw.

I would still be upset about all the fascism and kidnappings and stuff, but id have to admit they did something right.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Imagine not crossposting this in c/fakenews for the aura-farming potential

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

The GOP is screwed now. The next fundraising email will seal their fate.
