Every time you hear a right-winger accusing someone of something, there's a good chance they have done it themselves.

When these people say "protect women" and "protect children", they mean "protect my property".

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 42 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Just replace “protect” with “have sex with”

Since when did treasonous republicans care about bees?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I thought we were using conservative coded words to suggest a desire for inappropriate sexual relationships. But I guess you've never looked at a swarm of bees and wondered if they could rock your world.

Just need to watch Bee Movie to understand fully

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know that but republicans have never said anything about protecting bees.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're one more negative comment away from getting yourself uninvited to the borgy.

I'm not gonna get 🅱️orked at the 🅱️orgy?! Ah man 😞

When their farms start failing and they scramble to hire trucks full of pollinators. They don’t vote accordingly or change their practices though. They just go bankrupt and get bailed out by welfare.

ITS HIP TO FUCK BEES!

"To punish and solicit"

It's just kind of safe to assume that at this point, Conservatism's only purpose is to fuck kids. I would appreciate hearing any arguments for Conservatism that do not contain the sentence "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" because in 20 years, not a single pair of people have been able to produce the same definition of what that even fucking means.

What, you oppose money getting gay married or some horseshit like that?

Every accusation is a confession

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

It’s always the ones you suspect

Usual suspects

It's weird cause he looks like a stereotypical white trash American.

Turns out he's white trash British.

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It's not in the blood as much as it's in the diet.

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah some of this trash has imported American conservative anti-drag shit. Drag is our thing, our culture and our heritage.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

They must have a colorful vernacular to describe them... yobs?

This creep: Save them for me!

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

His extremist colleagues asked for him to be shunned. Shunned! These same people call for the death sentence with anyone black or brown. They don't even have the decency to be consistent.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

"they get lied to so often, they dont know what to believe in", thats how it is with conservatives.

[–] phillycodehound@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Ironic Much?

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Gotta protect the kids so he can break them. Can't let other fuckers get his bag man. /S

[–] bless@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Not a drag queen. Odd

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Weird how they're always silent about saving kids from their fellow cultists.
