Every time you hear a right-winger accusing someone of something, there's a good chance they have done it themselves.

When these people say "protect women" and "protect children", they mean "protect my property".

Just replace “protect” with “have sex with”

Since when did treasonous republicans care about bees?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I thought we were using conservative coded words to suggest a desire for inappropriate sexual relationships. But I guess you've never looked at a swarm of bees and wondered if they could rock your world.

Just need to watch Bee Movie to understand fully

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know that but republicans have never said anything about protecting bees.

You're one more negative comment away from getting yourself uninvited to the borgy.

When their farms start failing and they scramble to hire trucks full of pollinators. They don’t vote accordingly or change their practices though. They just go bankrupt and get bailed out by welfare.

ITS HIP TO FUCK BEES!

"To punish and solicit"

It's just kind of safe to assume that at this point, Conservatism's only purpose is to fuck kids. I would appreciate hearing any arguments for Conservatism that do not contain the sentence "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" because in 20 years, not a single pair of people have been able to produce the same definition of what that even fucking means.

What, you oppose money getting gay married or some horseshit like that?

Every accusation is a confession

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

It’s always the ones you suspect

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Usual suspects

It's weird cause he looks like a stereotypical white trash American.

Turns out he's white trash British.

It's not in the blood as much as it's in the diet.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

They must have a colorful vernacular to describe them... yobs?

This creep: Save them for me!

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

His extremist colleagues asked for him to be shunned. Shunned! These same people call for the death sentence with anyone black or brown. They don't even have the decency to be consistent.

"they get lied to so often and BELIEVE IT, they dont know what to believe in", thats how it is with conservatives.

[–] phillycodehound@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Ironic Much?

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Gotta protect the kids so he can break them. Can't let other fuckers get his bag man. /S

[–] bless@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Not a drag queen. Odd

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Weird how they're always silent about saving kids from their fellow cultists.
