    I’ve noticed the one Lemmy user in particular has launched a campaign of hate and racism towards Harris and it’s kind of rough to see it go unmoderated.

      Must be someone I’ve already blocked, because I’m not seeing it.

      Frankly, I’m not seeing any anti-Harris campaign on here anywhere near as organized as the “gEnOcIdE jOe” one.

          Tempting, but probably frowned upon by the mods. Hang around any of the remotely political threads and you’ll get to know some of the more frequent posters and their politics pretty quickly.

      I wish you could call them out. I’ve blocked several and I’m not seeing what you’re saying, wonder if it’s one I’ve previously tagged and blocked.

      I just block racist trolls… It’s so easy, they add nothing to the conversation anyway. We don’t have very many of them anyway, they can’t figure out how to use Lemmy.

    “far-right trolls”.

    So, Republicans, then?

    (Oh, and don’t call them Nazis or racists or anything, though! The tone police will be out to claim to that this is why another Republican was trying to turn dementia donnie into pink mist)

    “The leading Democrat presidential candidate’s mother was named Shyamala Gopalan,” Stew Peters, a former bounty hunter and current live streamer, posted to his 620,000 followers. “That should be enough for disqualification.” In recent months, Peters has amped up his vitriol against Indians and Americans of Indian descent.

    Wait till this guy hears about the Trump VP’s wife.

    Ah… that’s hilarious.

    It’s not like Trump can appeal to a bunch of undecided bigoted assholes - he already had the bigoted asshole vote locked up.

    If they keep it up, by November that’s all he’ll have.

    Nobody tell them. I want to see how long it’ll take for them to figure it out on their own. If they do.

      That is the fundamental creeping fear of a Harris campaign. I’m old enough to remember Scott Brown winning Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts Senate Seat largely on the “Ew! Lady Senator?! Gross!” misogynist vibes out of the less savory corners of Chowder Country. Not hard to forget the suffocating Tea Party backlash that struck the country in the wake of its first Black President, either.

      There’s definitely going to be some number of Biden -> Trump voters purely based on liberal-flavored patriarchal white nationalism. The only question is whether they’re out in the swing states. And, if so, whether they’ll be eclipsed by a countervailing wave of turnout.

    I admit, I wasn’t expecting them to go as far as using “Colored” as a general insult. Do they seriously think this helps Trump’s chances?

      Naw.

      There was a mix up in communication, this is an actual crusade. They went and got the swords and stuff, even.

    Well, the to old, sleepy, and dementia “arguments” have lost their grip, so, lacking any actual arguments, they moved on to racism to fight Harris. That is something their clientele knows and can relate to…

      nice thing is it might stick with hardcore republicans which will anyway vote Trump but it might even push people on the fence to Harris’ direction as they are not so extreme. This is the best kind of propaganda one can hope for.

      *cue

      Though, based on how many people were standing around waiting to say the N-word again, maybe there was a queue.

    Comparing propagandists and shills to the likes of Ken M is a disservice the art of trolling. It’s like saying that eating crayons until one vomits onto a canvas to sell for a quick buck at a Sotheby’s fine art/stolen cultural artifacts auction is comparable to Michaelangelo’s David or Starry Night.
