When you draw the line of Liberal v Conservative so far to the right it includes George Bush, it ceases to lose all meaning.

That is all accurate and I don’t disagree with you. But the picture was of an invasion under Bush, not Clinton, so I responded as such.

The problem that I take is l:

Also all American politicians of “both” parties are liberals.

I’m wondering what your definition of Liberal is. Up until like 2020, it was Liberal v Conservative and when I look it up in the dictionary I get “Relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.”

But Liberal on Lemmy appears to be anything to the right of a theoretical Star Trek post scarcity utopia.

Ah yes, the famous liberal, George Bush.

It is possible for two people in a situation to both make poor decisions.

Do not make yourself a target and a danger when the threat against you is just shitty laws that benefit the wealthy.

Bold of you to assume that’s the only threat.

Bold of you to assume they will bother looking at the papers.

Here’s the thing…

I’m not worried at all.

Why you gotta put that out into the universe?

Of all the hot takes I’ve read on the internet today, this is one of them.

Progressives are the easiest vote to disenfranchise. All it takes is one wedge issue, and they are out.

And then you have the corollary on the other side - for some on the far right, all it takes is one wedge issue to drive them in. Gun control, abortion, etc. I think that’s why we have to have an uphill battle every four years.

You may be thinking of a D&C

Amazing.

You know it’s funny, I was about to correct you and say Bugs made the joke, not Daffy, but I looked it up.

It’s widely reported that during a cartoon short titled “A Wild Hare,” a wise-cracking rabbit named Bugs Bunny called his nemesis Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod,” a sarcastic reference to Fudd’s skills as a hunter. Whether Bugs actually said it or it was Daffy Duck who called Fudd a “nimrod” is debatable. Bugs would get credit (it was after all a Bugs Bunny cartoon).

More reading on that for anyone interested.

As long as they think fascism will only hurt the people they want hurt

Ah, makes me take a trip down memory lane.
