Its always “shut up and dribble” when someone disagrees with you.

“Shut up and dribble” says some random plumber from Gary Indiana, as if he’s somehow more qualified to discuss politics.

krakenfury ,

Nah Gary is really close to Chicago, and goes heavily Democrat. Western suburbs of Indianapolis are where you find high concentrations of wackadoos.

Still part of that northern Hoosier class. Lemme tell you a thing about Southern Indiana…

krakenfury ,

Yeah I see em, too, but Clark County is barely hanging on. We’ll see with this next election. Fuckin white flight from Louisville is making Jeffersonville more red.

Buffalox ,

I know Elon Musk is, but are so many Republicans really this despicable? Or is it Russian bots trying to make it look like it?

zabadoh ,

Spot the difference…

Rhaedas ,

Yes.

n2burns ,

One thing the article doesn’t mention, is Caitlin Clark’s place as a white woman in a sport dominated by black athletes, and the segment of her fans that she might eventually have to disown. For example, there’s an under-current of racism in the drama between her and Angel Reese.

Sue Bird had similar experiences but a generation or so earlier. Of course, there was less social media when she was a young player, and a lot less focus of women’s basketball. Even still, there was a lot of dog-whistle language about how, “she played the game the right way,” or how, “she’s an upstanding citizen.” Of course, Bird eventually came out which made some of those fans leave on their own.

the segment of her fans that she might eventually have to disown

Like the badass she is, she’s already more or less done so by calling them out for “using [her] for [their] culture war” ✊

Letstakealook ,

The racism has been coming from Reese and her camp. It is frankly embarrassing how they have been behaving. There is no reason 17% of all flagrant fouls in the league should be directed at one player. Some of those hits look like lacrosse hits.

n2burns ,

I’m not sure what flagrant fouls have to do with being racist?

Letstakealook ,

They are targeting her and attempting to injure her because they do not want a white woman to be rookie of the year over a black woman.

sndmn ,

Yes

ultranaut , (edited )

Yes, they really are this despicable. Republicans who aren’t despicable are not welcome in the party. You’re either on the Trump train or you’re dead to them, the Trump cultists have fully taken over the GOP.

lolcatnip ,

Look at what they vote for. That’s your answer.

njm1314 ,

That Hillary Clinton deplorables comment? Most truthful thing she’s ever said in her life.

ChaoticGoodHeart ,

She just miscalculated how big that basket really was.

Marleyinoc ,

Republicans absolutely are this despicable.

thefartographer ,

You could say that their only move is threats and Harris-ment

I preemptively accept my downvotes for this terrible pun

Buffalox ,

Yes it’s terrible, but I laughed. 😋

Yikes! Moved out when I graduated. Only reason I’ll ever go back is for a wedding or a funeral.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We moved away to L.A. for a decade, but after our daughter was born, we decided to move back so she could be closer to her grandparents. In some ways, involving that sort of thing, I’m glad. But politically it is just a nightmare.

Yeah you got a council full of Jeremy Jamms when you all deserve Leslie Knopes

some_guy ,

The 22-year-old last posted on Instagram on August 18. On that post, fans questioned her decision to like Swift’s post and accused her of “caving.” Others outright claimed they would no longer support the young star.

How fragile do you have to be to behave this way? Cause this isn’t what a calm and confident person would do. This is the behavior of bratty fucking children in adult costumes.

If you support stealing from me, I don’t want your support.

Anyone with half a brain should realize committing fraud against a bank hurts the people who use those banks… and insure those banks, and bail out those banks if they make bad investments, say to someone lying about the worth of their assets to lock in deals that when they are failed to be paid, like all his other bankruptcies filed, the bank is left with far less than anticipated, and then they have to raise fees/decrease interests paid out, charge higher interest rates or simply get a bail out from the Feds. All of those things effect the working class.

Unpopular opinion: She would also be harassed if she had endorsed Trump.

n2burns ,

Sure, but

  1. She didn’t endorse Harris
  2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

I get the logic of this, but you feel pretty confident that it’s true. Do you have the numbers to back this up? I believe it is true, but that’s not based on any actual evidence.

aniki ,

Not all Republicans are bad people, but all bad people are Republican.

otp ,

Not at all. There are plenty of evil “independents” and “centrists”. But let’s not kid ourselves, there are evil Democrats too.

Still, I get your sentiment.

EatATaco ,

I’m racking my brain trying to come up with what life situation would possibly lead someone to a position so profoundly detached from reality.

themeatbridge ,

Even more unpopular opinion, bigots deserve to be harassed for their bigotry.

Bluefalcon ,

True but it is not apples to oranges. Look at what these two are saying.

Trump: -Distain for fallen service members and their families,

  • racists comments and dog whistling any chance he gets
  • making fun of disable people, distain for poor or middle class people
  • openly hostile to democracy and people having a voice
  • hatred for any women with a voice or dares to stand up for herself
  • hatred for LGBTQ+ people
  • hatred for migrants trying to escape death
  • openly supportive of genocide
  • open hatred for any brown/black person that doesn’t love him (or any person honestly)

Kamala: -Kind of openly supporting genocide

This is not Bush or a McCain situation. At least they had some redeeming traits. Hell, they at least loved their kids. A very low bar to trip over.

Raiderkev ,

Maxx Crosby from the Raiders recently posted a pic with Trump and I was disappointed, but moved on. I’m sure he caught some flack, but probably nowhere near as much as Clark has.

Avatar_of_Self ,

Clark on her own personal account likes a post on Twitter.

MAGA: Keep politics out of sports!

Chief’s Kicker (Butler): Makes a misogynist and politically charged speech at a Christian college graduation.

MAGA: Way to tell them like it is! Keep it up.

blindbunny , (edited )

She just told them she’s not their racist. Fuck those people for always pitting her against her colleagues of color, she never asked for that. Keep playing ball girl.

Spazz ,

The only thing right wingers love more than hating on strong women is hating on them for for their political views

ravhall ,

From their armchair.

ryry1985 ,

They are angry over a “like”… They assume she liked it because of Kamala but really she is only stating she liked the message about getting out to vote. She isn’t endorsing anyone. www.usatoday.com/story/sports/…/75182367007/

themeatbridge ,

That’s disappointing.

explodicle ,

IMO that’s fair, a like is just a like, don’t over analyze it.

vodkasolution ,

Oh poor thing, could she sleep that night?! /s Haters gonna hate

announce your support for Harris, get harassed.

Get Harrised

Edit: this is the dumbest joke you will hear all week
