    This is so goddamn dumb. The obvious response is to edit like a dbz clip of Goku shooting at Vegeta with a Kamehameha with your face and Paul Goser's, but instead they're going "Mods? MOOOOODS! Make it go away!" Just all around shitty, babyish, civility-humping political instincts.

        Joanna Cherry?

        She's the champion of the victim complex. She tried to sue the SNP (the party she's a member of) for harassing her in response to her being investigated for transphobia.

      Trump started off his campaign tweeting a Pepe mlg video of him killing all the republicans. The republicans learned to run with what works and the democrats scold you if you doubt in the church of :vote:

      Gossar’s team made a video of him as a character from attack on titan killing an AOC Titan. This is one of the dudes who called for blood agaisnt that comedian who did the severed Trump head bit because of course he is.

    Tbf tho she is the target of so much misogyny by all of these freaks, so I don't fully disagree with what Bowman is saying

      Yeah this is like the tenth time this year already a member of congress has implied they want her dead. Which is ya know, not great.

        Yeah any decent workplace would have more protections for AOC. Didnt some guy shove her and call her a bitch or something? And doesnt MTG constantly talk about blowing her up or something? It sucks that you can use imagined violence against this one person as red meat for the fascists.

          Apparnetly MTG will just enter her office and scream at her because she knows nothing bad will happen from it. Like I know AOC isn’t the best but god damn that’s so shit.

        Democrats please stop being so nice. Nice guys finish last. CHUDs win because people love douchebags, it's human nature to root for the bad guy. Hence why everyone except us loves nazis.

    Ok so we are laughing about the republicans using shitty memes but doing so is better out reacher to zoomers then anything the Dems have done.

    And I’m terrified it’s working and the inevitable “zoomer radicalized army” is all gonna be fascists.

      I disagree, as modern fascist culture is self defeating in that it encourages self imposed social alienation. I don’t think there will be a Zoomer radicalized army.

        I desperately want to believe that but I saw it happening when I taught highschool up until a bit ago. Granted that was a white suburb but there was a lot of 4chan esq right wing talking points from a crap ton of students me and female.

        I know right wing culture is inherently self defeating but they have learned easily how to counteract that with money and propaganda. Then again most of those students were better allies then anyone during my day so idk I think I’m just in a defeatist mood lately after the school airs gave in to teacher demands and I quit before I had parents monitoring my class for “brainwashing”

      The edit Gosar made compared the Titans of the anime to immigrants. That is a very troubling comparison. He was figuratively comparing actual human beings to inhuman invasders who devour others.

      Then the problem is with his low-rent dipshit recut, not "cartoons" at large.

      What's Bowman's remedy, here? Is he going to throw up an Anime Abolition Act in the House to protect migrants getting harassed by government officials on the border?

      Fuck this guy and his concern controlling. He hasn't done shit for anyone on the border.

        I doubt he is trying to get AoT banned, the message is likely about the specific edit being a call to violence and the wording being a direct retort to the wording in the image.

          the specific edit being a call to violence

          The specific edit is simply praising exigent US policy towards migrants. The problem isn't the video, its the fucking immigration policy.

      Remember that the average American never matures past high school. It's "the natural order" for Chad the jock to pick on the epic gamer, but it's an outrage for the gamer to rise up and hit the popular kid right back. Something something society.
