Jim Jordan is such a piece of shit.

There's this wonderful British expression for people who go on and on about how much they love the flag of their their country:

"Flag shaggers".

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I would also accept flag fuckers, vexillophiles, and pole patrioteers.

[-] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 106 points 20 hours ago

His voters fly confederate flags.

(I know he's from Ohio, I'm not the one confused, they are)

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 14 points 14 hours ago

They aren't confused either. It's a sign of racism, not heritage, and always has been.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 36 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

They identify as losers.

No shame or hate to the trans community. I'm using their (the losers) snide tone back at them.

I love the qualifier as if it isn't all the catgirls I know still making anitque attack helicopters jokes to mock chuds in this year of our Lord 2026

The only correct C.H.U.D.

Not really a slur in a traditional sense, but I get your point.

[-] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Other reply covered the origin, but as for contemporary usage:

From a random AI slop blog I found

Who is labeled a “Chud”?

While the definition can be fluid depending on who is tweeting, the label is most commonly slapped onto individuals perceived as:

  • Alt-Right or Far-Right: Those holding extreme nationalist or reactionary views.
  • “Reactionaries”: People who actively oppose social progress or hold traditionalist views that the speaker finds repugnant.
  • The “Anti-Intellectual”: Someone who is viewed as confident in their ignorance, refusing to engage with facts or nuance.

I could have just said bigots instead but whatevs

It's shocking how many confederate flags there are in what was such a pro-union state

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

It's not shocking, they're flying it to show they are racist, it has nothing to do with "heritage", that's just a flimsy excuse.

[-] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 13 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, like Ohio boasts about having most per capita soldiers of an union state, or someone along those lines. Yet here are their great great grandkids pissing on that legacy.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

He flys the flag of his boss.

Currently a rider in the NDAA would create a permanent military partnership between US and Israel. As it stands we have a temporary MOU. But now that the US association with Israel in unpopular with voters, our AIPAC owned officials want to be more clandestine in their obedience to their shadowy masters.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I thought the USA was their puppet state?

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

If you're being informal, I suppose one could use the expression "puppet", but the technically correct expression for what the United States is for Israel is "vassal state"

[-] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 24 points 18 hours ago

It's virtue signalling. You can tell because they also constantly bitch about virtue signalling.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 24 points 20 hours ago

Bit ironic to strip the timestamp but leave the "readers context"...

I know the pacing is off the last couple seasons, but I swear I've seen this same screenshot for years by now.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 14 points 19 hours ago

I wish it was mandatory to post a date with all tweets or posts in this format. Was it today? Last year? I don't care enough to check.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I don't use Xhitter, but I think Musk had them remove timestamps a year or so ago.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

This guy sounds like he's still trying to beat Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? but sometimes learns from it.

[-] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 16 hours ago

The right really seems determined to ban any flag other than their own approved list, huh.

Reform UK (far right party) wants to ban public buildings from flying anything other than the Union Jack, apparently to stop flags like 🏳️‍🌈 or 🏳️‍⚧️ being flown during Pride Month, but I'm 100% sure that will go down like a lead balloon outside of England.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago

Just nevermind. Republicans get to accuse us of everything they do. The public nods and agrees. Democrats are forced to resign of they mispronounce "nuclear."

[-] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 11 points 20 hours ago

I cannot remember a single Republican president in my lifetime who COULD pronounce nuclear properly.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 18 hours ago

Because they can't spell. It's what happens when you spent your entire school career beating up nerds to force them to do all your homework. You end up virtuosically incompetent.

[-] SPRUNTnsfw@fedinsfw.app 2 points 20 hours ago

Democrats have standards beyond mutual hate.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

"Cash bribes accepted here!"

Unfortunately Jesus was the wrong flavor Jew who preached against letting money dictate your actions, and as that was interfering with the business of the establishment jews he had to go.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Bethlehem seems to fall within the West Bank, but google maps may be wrong.

So was Jesus from Palestine?

Would explain things.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Wait I thought we didn't vote democrat because the republicans don't support the genocide in Palestine?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

This is too much sarcasm and negatives for me to understand.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 20 hours ago

No such thing as an American flag

[-] enbee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 19 hours ago

False, there are several. Canada, US, Mexico, Brazil, etc are all American countries. So flying a Chilean flag is flying an American flag.
