Don’t worry. The fascist regime will be issuing counterfeit passes to anyone who wants one.
Already handing out rape passes, it’s only a matter of days.
It’s OK they will learn all sorts of new slurs from police, ICE, border patrol, people at Walmart
Yup, lets just keep pointing fingers so we never learn anything.
Liberals are literally scapegoating minorities instead of criticizing the DNC.
Pointing the finger and learning nothing? Like I said?
They’re agreeing with you.
Yes, exactly.
“When you point a finger you have three pointing at you”
Is there a word for when something comes across as both clever and cringe at the same time?
“I’m 14 and this is deep”?
fuck man… I chuckled hard. but i willingly gave that up a few years ago… didn’t feel right growing up in the burbs.
Yeah fuck minorities! It’s their fault the democrats lost and no one else’s, least of all the democrats themselves!
They voted to be deported. I won’t cry over that. Fuck around and find out.
Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds. Which group are you going after next? Trans people? Jews?
If anyhing, it’s fucking hilarious, and they deserve to be laughed at. Maybe you won’t do dumb shit next time if you’re scared it’ll be used to make you look bad
So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
Lol. Have you seen people on Lemmy talking about “conservatives” or “Republicans” this is literally Lemmy’s only way of thinking.
One of the reasons why I took a break from Lemmy for election week is I stopped being able to tell Hasbera from Democrats. In fact, the Hasbera are still trolling on Lemmy and reddit, blaming Palestinians for Harris’s lost.
We have been arguing Democrats are a party without a people for a long time. At this point, I honestly feel anything I type is lost to the void
It’s incredibly infuriating. And the worst part is you already see democrat mainstream media types setting their crosshairs on trans people. In 2028, the democratic party will run on the 2024 republican platform, just like they ran on the 2020 republican platform today, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it, because of these idiotic shitlibs.
Sorry for replying so late. If the Democrats come out of this thinking only conservatives vote; it’s simply a sign we require (not simply want) a different party.
I may have brain damage, but I can’t see this image without hearing Morpheus’ voice in my head screaming: “NEEOOOOO WAKE UP NEEEEOOO!”
NEO DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!!?
Asked Dumbledore calmly
i lold
I think that’s the point
Sorry, I’m a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don’t really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?
EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I’m even more confused as I see people mentioning “hispanic americans” as a synonym for “latino”. This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I’m not really sure about what I’m trying to say.
Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly voted to pull the ladder up behind them
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don’t see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don’t feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn’t working class matter? Because such people generally aren’t as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.
Hey, you do better!

If only there was a party that had education about policies part of their ideology.
Mexico has been a tidal wave of leftist political energy. Its so funny to hear Mayo Americans complain about electing one of their own, after they turned out in droves for him.
Mayo Americans? Was that an autocorrect error or am I missing something?
Nonblacks have never had an n-word pass. It’s never ok.
Actually my cousin’s friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don’t tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones’s garden, but aside from that I agree.
Did your cousin’s friend Jeremy offer it unprompted or did you ask for that?
It was unprompted, though technically you could describe it as “under duress”, your honor.
Fun Fact: The n-word was used against anyone with dark enough skin, including Latinos, Indians, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders.
It’s kind of wild as a modern American reading people like Rudyard Kipling and having him just drop a casual n-word about Indians, honestly.
I’ve heard it said in person more by hispanics and pacific islanders than I’ve heard it from black or white people.
People saying it does not mean they have a pass.
They sure seem to think they have one.
What they think is irrelevant and you know it.
Yeah, and? I’m not saying it’s right or wrong. I’m just saying that it happens. No one ever seems to call out non-whites for saying it, so they’ll continue to.
I’m given to understand that Quentin Tarantino was given one by Samuel L Jackson, personally.
This is how you divide your competition.
Man… when I lived in Los Angeles. Latinos hated blacks, it surprised me - I heard some crazy shit that made me look like ಠ_ಠ
Gangs are no laughing matter

Trump supporters are the correct blame recipients.
I agree with this statement.
Let’s not blame minorities for what was clearly the blame of white people.
“This is why Trump got elected” is why Trump got elected.
It wasn’t even a month ago that people were freaking out about young black men defecting to the Republican Party. You had Obama running around all the states Harris lost, trying to shame black voters for a Trump vote they never cast. You had news media blaming black Muslims of being responsible for their own persecution. Just a tidal wave of anger at black Americans for not doing enough to help Harris win.
They ended up being her biggest supporters, while all the white cable news heads and Hawk Tuah podcast listeners and AM Radio addicts were the ones defecting from the party.
Lots of white Trump voters or white vote abstainers downvoting.
Mistakes were made. Mistakes by the campaign specifically. My point is this post is bigoted against a minority, allegedly by another minority.
At least I am calling out the white idiots as a fellow white idiot.
That being said, the rightwards pivot on the border, trying to get the never Trumpers (who apparently still voted for Trump by the same margin in 2020 and that’s after January 6th), and the prince of warcrimes himself, Dick Cheney. Yeah. That is your problem. Plus ignoring the genocide.
One final point being, Republicans don’t have a monopoly on Racism or Misogyny unfortunately and those Democrats probably stayed home…
this post is bigoted against a minority
The individual is the smallest minority, and there are a long line of individuals who fucked up.
Rather than learning from their mistakes, they’d like to label their critics “bigots”.

Dems repeating this to themselves so they can justify doing nothing for the next four years.
Lots of people who think “hot take” as a preface really just means “I’m about to say some dumb shit that I don’t want to be held socially accountable for”, more like.
Oh sure the majority of the majority race voted for Trump, must be the Latinos’ fault.
Makes sense.
Blame is not zero sum
But replying to the thread is the sunk cost fallacy.
Lots of people who think “hot take” as a preface really just means
Side note - did the definition of “hot take” change in recent years? I thought it used to mean “this is my first reaction without taking the time to look deeply” then suddenly it became “here’s my unpopular opinion.”
Was I ever right? Or was it always used like it is today?
But isn’t that kinda racist?

I have no idea what you’re talking about or who Ben Shapiro is. Just say it simply.
How did you say “clearly the blame of XYZ” and immediately say “I don’t know the exact numbers” in the very next sentence?
You must have been dropped as a baby.
Thanks for the intelligent contribution to the conversation.
Something like 65% of white men and 40% of white women voted for Trump. They account for about 61% of the population so by definition are the majority of the voting population.
What is really going on is called divide and rule.

What’s this about?
Scapegoating minorities.
This country has got two brown people’s, ok three. Nah 4 if you count Peruvians. Ok 5, cuz of the Indian. Anyway! There’s the Hispanics and the Latinos…and the Latinos have got to go! WTF! Voting for Trump for?
Just kidding 😂. You know what happened in your gut. They actually did rig the elections.
