About 4 or 5 years ago, I was at a relative's house -- The relative was one of those people that basically watch Fox News 24/7. So, unfortunately I was exposed to the literal propaganda that is Fox News. Calling it propaganda is literally and understatement.

Anyway, at one point during the 5 o'clock "news", they aired a segment that featured Democrats in congress. They played the audio feed from whatever hearing or whatever was going on, but the video feed was a bunch of chimpanzees in a zoo setting.

So, what happened today is nothing new. This is who conservative Republicans in the USA are and have always been.

More importantly, reach out to people in your life, and especially people of color. What happened today is absolutely disgusting, and a lot of people are/were already struggling with things. A bit of kindness, connection with others goes a long way. Community and connections are especially critical in these times, and checking in with your friends, family, and neighbors is basically the least you can do, but also one of the most impactful things you can do right now.

You're not wrong, and playing a video feed of chimpanzees while Democrat representatives are speaking is dumb, but I imagine it was a mix of colors and genders. Putting the former PoC president and his wife's faces on fucking apes is another level. It's a very old, very specific, and very intentional act of racism...

Black Republicans: "I sure hope that's fake or you guys apologize"

How the hell could it be fake and you know he won't, but keep towing that party line.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 36 points 5 hours ago

Elect a racist. Get racism.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

Is Obama like Ronald Regan for the right?

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

They think we elected him to spite them because they are racist

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Voters: because we want CHANGE!!!

Politicians: because he's black, got it

[Later]

Voters: we demand change or we're gonna burn it all down

Politicians: wow you're so sexist

[-] rayyy@piefed.social 13 points 4 hours ago

Total projection from the orange malignant narcissist. Only he is much lighter colored, hairless, fatter and shits himself.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

probably reposting from epstein group chat. be grateful it isn't worse i suppose.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago

"You know who isn't in the Epstein files? Barack Obama. You know who actually improved the economy as president? Barack Obama," he added.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 7 hours ago

Bruh....

Is that a real post? That can't possibly be real.... Is it?

But also, hearing both Barack and Michelle speak and then seeing their faces like this still brings me positive, constructive joy. Seriously. Go listen to an interview with either of them and you'll feel your whole body stop tensing.

😔 it’s real. He posted it, then took it down after outrage and claimed “a staffer” made it.

Here is a palate cleanser: https://youtube.com/shorts/elMEDla2Uao

[-] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

They're adorable! I would gladly let a million conservatives be deported to get 1 more Obama. And he's not perfect...

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

that was good, thank you

[-] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

That was cute, we could always use more wholesome content like this on here.

[-] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

That was such a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing that!

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

You’re welcome, I loved it too. The Obamas are a national treasure.

[-] rogsson@piefed.social 68 points 9 hours ago

Can Mother Nature PLEASE remove him asap. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Just shows how much you can extend someone's life with modern medicine.

If they are rich.

[-] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

And an asshole, that keeps people alive more than any medical science.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 28 points 9 hours ago

Can Mother Nature make it start raining men? Well, one man in particular…

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 8 hours ago

Reminds me of one of my all time favorite tweets:

"It's Raining Men and Bodies by Drowning Pool are two different perspectives on the same event"

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

I was gonna say that things falling on floors happens indoors while rain is traditionally outdoors, but I imagine the terminal velocity of adult males plummeting from the sky would cause them to end their flights on a fair few floors anyway.

[-] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Do you not have floors outside where you live?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm trying to think of an outdoor floor, like maybe if it's got that temp flooring they put down under large tents for outdoor events I'd call it a floor. But even something like a tennis or basketball court, if it's outside I'd almost certainly call the surface "ground".

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

This type of helplessness is the power vacuum that the Republicans have taken advantage of and filled.

They take action while the dems polish their prayer sticks and dance their rain dances.

[-] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Liberals need to internalise a fact the rest of the leftists already have... Every human is a part of nature.

[-] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

You need to use three wishes as you have Vance then Johnson up next .

[-] pfr@piefed.social 4 points 5 hours ago

I didn't see it. Link to the video? The internet never forgets

[-] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 38 points 9 hours ago

Not to mention, Donald looks like an old Doctor Zaius.

[-] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 51 points 9 hours ago
[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 53 points 8 hours ago

It says a lot that this somehow makes him look more normal

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 hours ago

The beard is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Hides the nussy

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

That's why Ted Cruz wears one. It's a load bearing beard.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Only when he's on vacation.

[-] lemmylump@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago

Thanks I hate it.

[-] krigo666@lemmy.world 42 points 9 hours ago

The Supreme Orange Turd is a complete imbecile, what did you expect?

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Everyone knows this is what he's doing, and it's still working.

[-] BranBucket@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Doing shit like this without consequences is a virtue to his base. Same with hypocrisy. They know this was vile, if they didn't it wouldn't be funny to them. They know when he's being hypocritical. But has the power to do it anyway, and that makes him godlike to MAGA chuds.
