Call me crazy, but I don't think anything is going to get better in this country until we cancel anti-American propaganda networks on American television.

I've been around long enough to have witnessed Fox "News" and dipshits like Rush Limbaugh cause the current mania we're experiencing.

It really is all on them. It wasn't like this before they showed up.

Religion, a severe form of mental illness, is the greatest threat humanity faces.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Right?

If I said a flying purple people eater was my lord and savior and that flying purple people eater died for our sins but not before his father, a flying spaghetti monster, instructed an old man to build a space ship that a few humans and two of every animal on the planet (and I guess all the plants too) went on and orbited around the Earth while the flying spaghetti monster supreme being was fucking the surface of the Earth up and then repopulated the planet from space afterward and I went to a pineapple under the sea every Sunday to worship both the flying spaghetti monster and the flying purple people eater, who are actually the same being.....would you say I had a severe form of mental illness?

They walk among us. And they're clinically insane. And a lot of them have guns.

I mean Hitler did kill Hitler, that should count for something about getting into heaven.

Buuuuut you also don't get to go to heaven if you kill yourself, idk how killing Hitler balances that out.

Thou shalt not kill.

All the atheist collectively rolled their eyes at the same time.

If I believed in religion, I would be very mad at these idiots insinuating that a mass murdering dictator would have any chance of getting into heaven.

This Hitler restoration trend is terrifying.

I’m afraid I’ll go to heaven

That’s why I’m hoping that I'm right

My biggest fear ain’t no red Devil

It’s being near you people all the time

I’ll be fine as long as you go somewhere else

Trump is too stupid to coordinate window drops of rich people. Vance scares me as he isn't stupid...

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Vance scares me as he isn’t stupid…

he's just so flexible. going from 'trump is hitler' to being his running mate puts the spinelessness of a sea cucumber to shame.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

But he has less personality than the couches he's violated. He's not popular and that's all that matters to the maga base.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Any intelligence he allegedly possesses means nothing, Vance is completely leashed by Peter Theil. If Vance became president he wouldn't do one single thing on his own, without getting permission from Theil first.

Which says a lot about the quality of Fox "News" and their so-called "experts".

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That doesn't sound like it would fly even in the most religious communities.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

I think it's based on an old quote of Hitler claiming to be Christian which is clearly on votes. But anyone can claim to be a Christian. By their fruits you will know them.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

This is where we are. The fall of a once mighty and respected nation, for the sale of clicks on a virtual landscape.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Obviously they would see Hitler as the good guy.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

... to be with his kind.

All the cool people are in Hell.
