TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The division and violence is coming from within the house.2·2 days agoI mean we were hard at work for many, many years. But its exhausting, mentally, physically, financially. And when you are all veterans who are broken and traumatized in one way or many, its even harder.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The division and violence is coming from within the house.7·2 days agoWe actually shut down/ on hiatus this January. This was the last event we organized:

There are clips on our insta and other places, and if you want details, contacts or just solidarity, dm me.
Edit: Here is an event we organized after the J6 insurrection: https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/dc/capitol-riot-dc-veterans-group-clean-up-city-denounces-insurrection/65-0c19fa9f-19bd-44d1-a414-f948c2ae1736

Also, please notice the incredibly steep increase in this kind of misuse of language in the previous ~200 hours.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says people on the left 'under major investigation' after Charlie Kirk investigation2·2 days agoThat’s not necessarily “fleshed out” in my opinion.
Well sure but its not really your belief that matters. All that matters is that they believe they were justified in doing what they did. I mean they went ahead and did it. Its self evident, is it not?
And I would hope for all of our sake, yours and mine included, that we’ve fleshed out our believes more sufficiently and more completely to not blame marginalized groups and individuals for the failures of a system. But then we’re not the one coming to the conclusion the shooter made either, are we?
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says people on the left 'under major investigation' after Charlie Kirk investigation6·2 days agoI mean, fleshed out enough to do what they did, I’m at least from their own perspective.
And then people pushing back on this being a groyper are ignoring the preponderance of (current) evidence.
The only that suggested this was a left-winger was a completely unhinged 48 hours of initial media coverage where they simply decided it was a left winger to begin with. That’s not evidence.

The bullets had groyper memes written on them. This shooter was a “further right than MAGA” accelerationist.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way51·5 days agoBlue no matter who. Its a call to action/ solidarity to support any or all Democrats and is typically associated with “centrist” or “moderate” positions within the party. Specifically, it was the rallying point that was used as a cudgel to silence any criticism of Harris or her approach to campaigning in the 2024 campaign, that if you were to highlight the insufficiency of her campaign or make statements like “I don’t think Harris can win if they don’t xyz”, you would be accused of being “against Harris” or “pro Trump”, and this was specifically from the Blue MAGA/ BNMW contingent. Its now a part of lemmy-lore how moderators sided with this crowd, banning anyone critical of this view and silencing voices through out.
Classic examples of this would be jimsantanko@lemmy.ee and flyingsquid@lemmy.world
Its also, at least somewhat interesting as an aside, that after the bankrupt-ness of their ideology came upon full display after the failure of the Harris campaign to secure the election, many of the accounts expressing this view disappeared like farts in the wind (while for years they had been accusing the other side of being bots or shills). A good example of an account still active and expressing these views would be satansmaggotycumfart@piefed.world / satansmaggotycumfart@lemmy.world
Outside of lemmy, good examples of this view point can be found on podcasts like “Pod Save America”, or in clips like this one, where Jon Stewart explains the ideology most clearly:
And here is worked example, where Whoopi Goldberg says she would vote for Biden even if he was shitting his pants on stage (go to ~25 seconds in for the quote):
I also think that the kym article is pretty solid: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/blue-maga

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Not medically well': Trump's health questioned after his face seen drooping at 9/11 event52·6 days agoLikewise, look at the damn article this post is about.
Trump today does not look like the Trump in that video. Trump, today, looks like he’s had a damn stroke.
The AI video doesn’t even look like a Trump from this week, and even if its only AI in-part, thats still extraordinarily important and not OK, and any one dismissing this as a “debunked” is normalizing something thats actually a huge fucking deal (way fucking bigger than some shit bird getting shot in the neck).
Excuse me? Its well known that evidence has a strong left wing bias.
