Lmao @ "heaven".
Trump admitted he lost the election?
I was confused about this as well, but apparently in the past couple days he has said he lost a few times. Thanks to @jeffw@lemmy.world for posting this article:

This is most likely to try to deflect from him saying that he had every right to interfere with the election since he's currently facing a criminal trial for interfering with the election.
The thing about Ashlu Babbitt is that nothing of value was lost
I think you're overlooking the potential.
I don't give up on anybody because they all have the potential to have their Ebenezer Scrooge moment and change until they no longer have any moments.
The potential for Ashlii Babbitt to become a good and upstanding contributing member of society was lost because of her blind following of the orange turd.
That is her fault. It's still a sad thing.
I feel bad for her but I feel worse for the person who felt like they had no other choice but to shoot that woman, and I am glad that it only took one bullet to stop the insurrection.
People call 911 because they are having a medical issue, cops show up and shoot them and their dog, plus the neighbors dog for good measure. Shitheads actually attempt a coup, try to hang congress people, invade government offices, somehow only one of them gets shot. It makes 0 sense.
Makes a lot of sense if you understand that the police exist to support white supremacy and maga is a white supremacist organization.
The coup failed though so they clearly did something right with minimal loss of life
But hasn't been prosecuted nearly severely enough. Max sentence I've seen is 4y with most of these traitors getting off with months instead.
It was an attempted coup. Sure it failed but the first Nazi coup also failed and they were let off easy then tried again successfully.
imagine the bloodbath that would have occurred if the crowds had been black / latino etc. or fuck, even college kids...
somehow only one of them got shot... SOMEHOW.
you know that's a funny word when you look at it - some... how?
like some, a quantity.... how, a state or condition.... doing a heavy lift that.
it just doesn't seem to encompass the obvious and outright institutionalized racism displayed that day. angry white people smeared shit inside the capitol and only a single one was shot, and that was it.
oh 4 years later we're finally getting around to sentencing some of the shit-smear crowd. they should have been rounded up that evening and lived the rest of their lives breaking rocks in leavenworth federal pen on whatever hard labor the government could devise.
Or you know
Could it be that the most prestigious police job, where only the best of the best are taken, protecting the most important people in the country, working for the government who has enough money to spend on their training, actually has well-trained and well-controlled policemen?
Could it be that an institution that is notorious for how incredibly federalized (federalized = decentralized != with the federal government) it is doesn't have the same quality everywhere?
As if she's in heaven.
As if Heaven was a place.
That was also implied.
Heaven is a half-pipe.
If I die before I wake...
At least in heaven I can skate.
'Cause right now on earth I can't do jack
Without the man upon my back.
the most messed up thing is I read that line and instead of thinking of the oldschool kids' prayer i start hearing Metallica playing in my head.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
She will always have her posthumous Darwin award though
posthumous Darwin award
Is there another kind?
Yes, but it's almost exclusively awarded to men.
I thought a Darwin award meant specifically that the recipient died. So I'm not getting this, if it's a joke or otherwise.
I think you can get it if you remove yourself from the gene pool. I think there were awards for men who accidentally castrated themselves before having children.
Darwin Awards
An "award" given to people who contribute the most to the evolution of humanity by removing their genes from the gene pool. Sometimes given to people who simply sterilize themselves, but most of the recipiants have ended up dead because of their actions.
Basically, the concept is that people kill/injure themselves to the point where reproduction is no longer possible whilst doing something surrealistically stupid. By insuring that their stupid genes to not spread, they ultimately help humanity and thus recieve an award.
While the concept is funny enough, the actual awards are usually very mean spirited.
Yep. All people need to do is remove themselves from the gene pool. Often that involves removing themselves from the count of the living, but some just sterilize themselves in some stupid way.
Since the award is for removing your ability to spread your genes, any self-inflicted stupid act that resulted in, eg castration, should be considered eligible.
She was likely a victim of the maga extremism indoctrination and social media, this is a bit distasteful
To be a victim of maga extremism, you must already be bigoted enough to think that it is a reasonable opinion to have to want black and LGBT people to die. She deserved what she got.
The sexualisation and humiliation of a person who cant object or consent is whats getting me.
people will excuse themselves of a lot when they don't like someone.
I abaolutely do not care that she died, and her politics cant be handwaved away with 'she was indoctrinated', which would also equate to her having no agency. She knew what she was doing.
suuure. she was the victim... the traitor killed while trying smash into the Capitol Building and overthrow the government...
/S
You're so right, she obviously doesn't deserve to be derided, we should show her love and support because she died, it wasn't her fault she was indoctrinated like this.
For good measure, let's posthumously pardon the Nazis that murdered hundreds or thousands of people and were later killed when their camps were taken. They were just victims of the Nazi extremism indoctrination and media, it's a bit distasteful that people still slander them /s
idk how else to downplay supporting trump at this point.
public shaming is the last line of defense we have against these types of people since polite conversation clearly doesn't work once you put the red hat on. what alternatives do you suggest? 🙂
public shaming is the last line of defense we have against these types of people
Wait, really? I know liberals tend to like weird pseudo-pacifism, but have y'all really committed so hard to it that you think "public shaming" is our last line of defense?
Get armed, and get trained. You may end up needing it. *We* may end up needing it.
"Just following orders" is not an excuse no matter how it's veiled.
She took part in a violent insurrection with the ultimate goal of overturning an election and destroying democracy.
She had every opportunity to no being a cesspool of bigotry, racism and fascist supporter. Instead she chose at every option to continue her path.
Every Nazi is a victim of extremism indoctrination. They don't get a pass for that. She was a domestic enemy to the United States and died attacking our country. She deserves zero respect.
The world became a slightly better place when she died.
If there is up or down then I'm sure she isn't looking down.
I'm lost. Is Babbitt not the chick who cut her abusive husband's dick off to great media attention in the 90s? (Weird AL put it in a song fucking legend). What does this have to do with Tonald Drump?
You are thinking of Lorena Bobbitt.
That was my first thought too! This meme is about the dumbass who go herself shot during the failed Jan 6th coup.
No Ashli Babbitt was the one person who was killed by police while attempting to overthrow the US Government on January 6th, 2021
Also fun fact: Conservative "Activist" group Judicial Watch filed a wrongful death lawsuit on her behalf earlier this year, which in my opinion spits in the face of all actual victims of police brutality.
That's Bobbit (the dick remover)
Oof ow my frontal cortex
