solsangraal , in Vance warns calling a candidate a ‘fascist’ can lead to violence but doesn’t mention that’s what Trump calls Harris

Cephalotrocity , in Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’

Isn’t this new guy that was arrested a Democrat?

Records show Routh, 58, lived in North Carolina for most of his life before moving to Hawaii in 2018. In 2020, he made a social media post backing Trump’s reelection, but .

The first one wasn’t iirc so Hannity is full of it, but this attack has legs once they get the wording ‘right’. Assholes (Hannity + Assassin).

unexposedhazard ,

If the world were black and white then he would be a democrat. In actuality tho the new guy is a deranged and delluded self glorifying wreck of a weirdo. Read his/the incidendts wikipedia article.

Cephalotrocity ,

Okay, I see here he registered independent and expressed support for candidates of both parties this cycle. Still, his relevant support for Biden/Harris and that he recently donated money to the democratic party are what are going to give this accusation legs.

edit: recently

Expressing support for Biden and Harris equals Democrat. You’ve heard it here first, folks!

Is he a Democrat or a registered independent? Make up your mind.

Cephalotrocity ,

There is no ‘make up your mind’. There is only a building of evidence. Unless you’re willing to declare some objective standard for what everyone considers an ‘official Democrat’…

In the meantime, many people register into a party falsely to do things like manipulate primary votes and such. A common attack vector for the first would-be assassin as I recall. To say “he is or isn’t” is pretty much in the eye of the beholder and we’re discussing points undecideds will consider relevant.

My mind is currently leaning to ‘way too many people will think he is a Democrat for this to be good for Democrats’.

This you?

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/90758881-0d98-47cb-95c3-fcbf706d467b.png

So, can you answer your question? Your question was not about what people will think. Your question was whether or not he was a Democrat.

Is he a Democrat?

Cephalotrocity ,

I’m no longer as certain as I was, but 19 donations over 5 years is a strong argument making me think he is.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, one of those registered independent Democrats you hear oh so much about.

You going to bat for Hannity’s conspiracy bullshit is very telling.

Cephalotrocity ,

You going to bat for Hannity’s conspiracy bullshit is very telling.

As is your seeming inability to understand basic reasoning.

I’m curious why you think he isn’t being labelled as Independent right off the bat by news agencies if registering Independent solidifies you as such? What do you say about people that wear MAGA hats but registered Democratic to F with DNC nominations?

I’m not going to bat for Hannity. I’m saying we shouldn’t be so smug as to assume he’s wrong about this guy. More importantly, that undecideds will agree and not be turned off by an obvious bias towards a belief of Democratic purity. That is how you lose votes.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

“Why aren’t the media being fair?” Really?

I’m not going to bat for Hannity. I’m saying we shouldn’t be so smug as to assume he’s wrong about this guy.

i.e. going to bat for him. The assassin was not a registered Democrat. That is what makes you a Democrat. He is not one. You are wrong and Hannity is wrong.

spankmonkey ,

Unless you’re willing to declare some objective standard for what everyone considers an ‘official Democrat’…

Registering as a Democrat makes someone an “official Democrat” since registering makes it official.

Cephalotrocity ,

And what do you say when they wear a MAGA hat and loudly state they only registered Democrat to F with primaries?

MrTomS ,

He is registered Unaffiliated in NC but did vote in the Democratic primary in March but for all we know it was a protest vote against Biden.

We do know he was coo-coo bananas and should not have had access to firearms.

OldWoodFrame ,

He voted for Trump. Not a ton of Democrats do that. Call me crazy but while I’d assume someone who ends up attempting assassination doesn’t like the person they attempt assassinating, that doesn’t mean they are automatically a member of the opposing political party. 1/3rd of Americans are independents.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s okay, they are “no longer as certain” as they were that this Trump-voting registered independent is a Democrat like the always reliable Sean Hannity says he is.

FFS they’re doubling down on Hannity being right. Apparently you don’t have to be a Democrat to be a Democrat.

Lmao he’s fucked. The absolute mountain of evidence they pulled out of his fuck chambers alone is enough to bury him under the jail they will stick him in

She’ll probably be happy to take it. She achieved her goal, like a good soldier.

givesomefucks , in JD Vance says US could veto NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms

The fact checking in this article is perfect lol

“So what America should be saying is, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked. “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both. But we’ve got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.”

Musk has been accused of banning several journalists since taking over Twitter, now X.

“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,” Vance added. “But European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.”

The US ranked 26th in the world when it comes to free speech, with several members of the European Union higher up the list, according to the 2024 Global Expression Report.

twistypencil , in ‘Clearly chicken you weirdo’: People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats

I don’t know if your unnecessary backhanded attacks help your argument, or just make you sound really cool. Can’t make up my mind on that one! Why don’t you tell me what you googled and maybe throw in a few quips about how unreasonable and nonsensical my responses are and then I’m sure the discussion will resolve itself in a constructive way.

TheObviousSolution , in Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s Prez Biden and VP Harris Killing ‘Joke’

I sort of feel like the CIA should already have a file on him filed to the brim with juicy nuggets they haven’t really been able to act on until now.

Shark_Ra_Thanos ,

You’re talking about the NSA. The CIA totally doesn’t do that.

Dkarma ,

Sure, cia, sure

orcrist ,

No doubt various TLAs have compiled dossiers on various very important people. It would be irresponsible of them not to. People who have so much power and access are intrinsic security threats, and that’s no secret to the spy agencies.

Of course they might frame it differently. They might say that they compile information so that they can make sure that the powerful person doesn’t get blackmailed, for example. It’s easy to try to phrase things in a way that suggests you’re protecting them, when the actual theoretical goal is protecting us from what they could do if things went sideways.

yournamehere , in Authorities name Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as architect and leader of ‘criminal enterprise’

there wil be fewer and fewer legends of rap music. i remember last few music award shows celebrated 1000 years of man shouting manly man stuff and hab dre, snoop, puffy and the other tards. vma called LLcoolJ the GOAT.

Musk’s donations to the Trump campaign taking center stage.

psmgx ,

I think it’s Musk’s backers, the Russians who helped fund the twitter acquisition, who are really taking center stage.

Lots of talk about Europe and NATO means they’re pushing hard for those talking points.

And of course trump himself has projected. Calling Democrats fascists. But as always. Everything is only a problem when someone else does it.
