some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don't know what's serious and what's irony

Not from hexbear, but no, of course they don't. I would wager that you would have a very hard time finding anyone on hexbear or lemmygrad that has anything but contempt for all US presidents. A bunch of monsters, the lot of them.

I see Lincoln as being a lot like Lenin, a problematic figure who ultimately oversaw an important and mostly liberatory project

lenin was one of the best people in human history

Lincoln has just been whitewashed all to hell. He didn't free the slaves out of any moral reason. It was just a good piece of propaganda, and he was really just railroaded into it.

I would also like to point you to Lincoln's military service and the largest mass execution in US history. Their crime? Not starving to death. He's just as much of a genocidal scumbag as the rest of them.

I've read several state that yeah he should be executed, but since he is working to destroy america they will vote him just to it collapses faster and he gets executed faster, which is... not something I agree with to put it mildly.

There's a lot of comments to go through here, so I must have missed the ones saying they were going to vote Trump.

Care to point them out?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not all of them were to vote him since they are not american, but that that agree/support him.

Like you I had to search though the thread to find them again and I couldn't bother, but since you insist, from your friendly neighborhood massive piece of shit.

None of those comments are saying they'll vote Trump (one of them isn't even from a US citizen), and you wonder why I call you dishonest?

Let me tell you something, abstaining a vote is effectively the same as voting for the winning party. Being from a country and complaining about the ruler, but then doing nothing to fix it is basically the same as silently voting the winner. The sentiment is completely different, but mathematically it archieves the same objective.

After further review I see that most people are memeing, the one saying to vote for him is clearly joking, but it doesn't hurt to have an idicator of jokes in media, especially if the post asks for genuine answers.

It's quite funny that you ask for a waaay higher level of scrutiny from people that are not from hexbear, than everyone answering with jokes of murder and "ironically" voting him.

Also, I'm not only dishonest, didn't we establish that I'm a massive piece of shit too? :)

Yes, that is obvious at this point.

Oh, and those aren't "jokes of murder". We mean what we say.
