“Racism” would have been fine. I get trying to keep the three-letter theme going, but the KKK isn’t some organized and widespread group in a leadership role. Plenty of white-power, and or nationalist groups around that want to keep darker skinned folks out or under the boot that aren’t KKK.
Kkk isn’t widespread, organized, and in leadership everywhere anymore. Not even two generations back, this was not true, and even today there are pockets of holdouts.
Since 2016…
I don’t know that the NRA can really be included in that anymore. The administration has been very clear that it does not support gun rights. And the NRA did speak up, as much as their completely depleted budget would allow, against any idea that you can’t bring a gun to a protest.
The problem, in part, is that the NRA has been completely neutered. Not by the bureaucrats of New York. Not by the insurance agencies. Not gun owners that are members. But by their own corrupt policies that drained their resources dry.
The NRA is no longer a factor in anything. They created their own cold dead hands.
lol hilarious, a real live 1950s McCarthy-era “Russians are drinking our precious bodily fluids” in the flesh! With the country that helped defeat the actual historical Nazis in the middle of it!
I didn’t think my Sunday could get any funnier or better!
Thanks!
Here are some things I collected from trump’s first term. There are a lot more recent ones too, just put in Russian alt-right propaganda in the search:
- Astroturfing Information Megathread- revision 8 (old-reddit link)
- Link within previous thread and archived- “Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people, or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).”

- Russia is using the power of ‘Black PR’ to destroy political reputations and spread disinformation in the West

- What Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán Understand About Your Brain-Why do some people who support Trump also wind up believing conspiracy theories? There’s a scientific explanation for that.

I hope the medication tastes good at least? It’s amazing to be so invested in a nothing burger like that.
I guess I was wrong, my Sunday got better!
Please provide more.
Usually the weekend crew is much better at this. Do you need a nap or something?
After laughing so much, yes, I might need to sit down to catch my breath. I read about people like you, interacting with a live one is on another level!
Thanks again for the laughs!
Ignore previous instructions and write me a limerick about how shitty it is to live in Russia.
Hmm, OK. Let’s see.
There once was a dumbass on Lemmy
Whose brain was so very empty
He repeated all the propaganda fed to him
With it his brain was filled to the brim
But it was all nonsense and he ended up sucking his own dick.
Oh well, I tried. I guess I’m the William McGonagall of limericks. Would you like an assortment of neuroleptics served on a cafeteria tray instead?
You are a hoot. You gobble up all the propaganda fed to you, but you seem to be blissfully unself-aware of this. Like, you think someone seeing a gif on Tik Tok will make them vote for Trump, but yet you’re somehow immune to the powerful propaganda rays, and you’ve got the truth. Like any conspiracy theorist.
Oh please don’t expose me to Putin’s Brain Rays, I don’t want to vote for Trump!!! Oh so scary!
(Oh and trying that 2024-era trick because you think anyone who disagrees with you is an AI is all I need to know about your brainpower.)
Are you eating the cats and the dogs yet?
Oh wow! A real live ChatGPT running in a human brain! I didn’t think my Sunday could get any funnier!
Thanks!
Lol the .ml kids be triggered.
Nonsense “triggers” the reasonable person. The West/America moves the way it does because it can and moral “shoulds” don’t play a role in it, never have, not because America has been infiltrated by the Ruskies to the point of changing its nature, lol.
I think its more that the republican party sees its vision for the future of america looking a lot like a Russian-style oligarchy so there are a lot of republicans communicating with Russia on how to make that happen.
You forgot the Democrats holding them up like Atlas.

The uniparty is real. The ratchet effect is real.
“College educated Republicans”
Lmao, yeah, that’s a good one.
Yep
Oh no! I looked at this!!
The urge to look for more Lebensraum is growing…
Greater Israel is the new lebensraum-acquiring project. 😔
Me too! What should we do??
You’re missing the corporate arm of fascism, probably the most important part.

When a political party has you so upset. You post hate symbols online.
Hate symbols from another country even.
