Conservatives: 14 memes about obviously fake news like schools putting litter boxes in hallways for kids who identify as cats or Obama making it illegal to be straight or Christian
Me: Trump’s mugshot or yet another right wing mass shooting
Conservatives: “Can we not talk about politics for just one second?”
Innuendo studios does a great video about how they weaponize “now is not the time” to talk about anything that makes them look or feel bad. He uses Trump as the example. When he was running in the primary “now is not the time” to talk about his obvious, glaring faults because no one is taking him seriously. Then when he won the nomination and began in the general “now is not the time” because he’s obviously gonna lose to HRC anyway and you have to be gracious in victory and not gloat, then when he won “now is not the time” because why would you root for the country to fail and all that dumb boomer shit about “the left wing and the right wing are part of the same bird” and now you have to be gracious in defeat, then when he lost “now is not the time” because its over, he lost, he’s just a private citizen now, and now that he’s campaigning for the nomination “now’s not the time” because prosecuting him for crimes he absolutely, definitely committed is election interference. If he wins, now will not be the time because he’ll pardon himself and if he loses now will not be the time because we’re just picking on an irrelevant old man just to be vengeful. I think you see the common thread here.

The internet is a shared space. I didn’t want to hear about your PM talk about letting New Zealand join Australia but it was in my feed anyway.
Deal with it?

Difference is, American politics absolutely infest every part of social media in general, us non-americans are sick of seeing your bullshit constantly. Can’t even block it as a shit ton of non-political communities are getting spammed with American bullshit as well.
“deal with it” lol typical murican response, as if the world revolves around your shitty corrupt country full of brainwashed idiots 🙄
And no I’m not a trump supporter or a conservative I’m just fucking sick of American politics clogging up the internet. Fucking do something about it rather than crying on the internet ffs.
Bring on the downvotes.

Again. This is what the majority of people on the internet want to discuss. I don’t see the purpose of complaining about it.m
I don’t like NSFW content so I filter it from my feeds. Do the same and fucking deal with it.

Just start your own internet with blackjack and hookers.
