“I’m so over people complaining about racism,” says wealthy white politician from the racist party. More news at 11.
The party of fuck your feelings has a lot to say about people’s feelings.
The jokes were the least-offensive thing about that fucking rally.
This is why you can’t use The Independent for shit especially during election season.
“I haven’t seen the joke. Maybe it’s a stupid racist joke, maybe it’s not,” Vance said.
“I’m not going to comment on the specifics of the joke, but I think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the United States of America. I’m just I’m so over it.”
If you send this article to someone who wants to vote for Trump, they are going to correctly excoriate you. I know this because the last time I used The Independent this was was 2016 when Trump first and The Independent couldn’t back up its headlines then. In the last eight years it still can’t. If we take Vance at face value, which we know we can’t but we have to since that’s the quote The Independent chose to use to create their headline, it’s fake news.
In general, The Independent generates clickbait headlines that pull in a specific group of people that want to agree with the article and won’t verify who then send it to another group of people who will engage with the content to try and verify. This increases their engagement while spreading a mix of blatant lies and loose misinformation. Your life will be better if you filter out The Independent (something I haven’t yet bothered to do on Lemmy but did immediately on a new Reddit account; election season might finally change this) especially if you’re the audience for the headlines.
Oh, really? You’re sick of everyone being offended?
Well you can’t expect Republicans to not be hypocritical snowflake assholes, it’s officially written into their religious and party values.
What’s Whitmer’s Dorito video?
Looks like it was a political ad that weirdly mashed up a communion parody with commentary on a bill that was supposed to boost domestic semiconductor production: https://heavy.com/entertainment/gretchen-whitmer-dorito-doritos-video/
The paradox of intolerance.
This doesn’t fit. It’s just hypocracy. They aren’t intolerant of some things because it hurts people. They are intolerant of things they don’t like and intolerant of people disagreeing with them.
This is the first I’m hearing about this Doritos video, and yeah, it’s a little silly and straight outta context, but it’s nowhere as wildly weird as thinking that a goof about a dommy nommy mommy feeding her pet is sacrilegious.
Monosodium glutamate held a rally?
Some call Uncle Roger! 😮
Also what I thought! Anyway it’s Maddison square garden
I’m so over JD Vance
We are all above him.
Except couches, those are usually below him
It’s always “just a joke” when people get offended.
I’m just joking but I hope he has an accident involving his dick and a Lazy Boy recliner mechanism.
I hope I didn’t offend anyone.
I’m pretty sure that’s offensive to Lay-Z-Boy recliners.
Can confirm. I became a lay-z-boy recliner just to be offended.
This is their whole position on wokeness. I can say all the offensive shit I want and not be held accountable, but if you offend my sensibility, I am gonna clutch my pearls so hard I’ll squeeze a diamond outta my cooch.
So, the couch fucker invited him. Got it.
I’d like someone to explain what the joke is in calling one of our colonies a “trash island”
Please, some big brained masculine conservative explain it to me.
“We think all non-whites are trash! Ha ha! Don’t you get it? Garbage people on an island make it a garbage island! I say it with the intent of making other white people laugh so it’s ok!”

“How come they can say it but I can’t that’s the real racism here.”
So … he’s OK with being openly racist?
That’s one of the shitty quality I dislike about conservatives, especially far right and ultra conservatives. They know that the things they believe are wrong, immoral, unethical and inequitable so they have to say how they feel in secret or in coded language or to obfuscate everything they say and deny everything if they are called on it.
I dislike them because they are cowardly for being racist … I also dislike them for being cowardly in their denial that they are racist.
JD Vance: “Bad things are a fact of life. Vote for the party that doesn’t believe things can or should get better.”
Well, looks like many people are not “so over it”.
Also, should we really “get over” pushing back at racist shit?
Your argument is weak, you get an F. Go sit down and think about what you did.By all means, defend the “joke”. I suggest doing it especially in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, why should people be upset when the president of the country is promoting the idea that they’re worthless because of some unchangeable innate traits? Silly.
