how anyone who is trans or gay could ever be republican just boggles the mind. i think its a display of immense stupidity.

Even Nazi Germany had "good Jews" who would cooperate with the Nazis. Some of the top ranking Nazis each had their own "good jew" that they were sympathetic towards including Hitler himself. They thought their status as "one of the good ones" would save them. Other party members, especially the SS, would hold them accountable and even the "good ones" got "taken care of" sooner or later.

They were also specifically called out at the Wannsee conference that they will not be excluded.

Jesus Christ, Wu played MAGA apologist? Given her history? She's always been a shit person, I just figured she at the very least wouldn't join the crowd tied at the hip to her arch-nemesis GamerGate edgelords.

I guess it really doesn't matter what flavor of bad you are, in the end they all gravitate toward MAGA.

When your enemy is human decency, you acquire a lot of piece of shit friends.

The entire GamerGate/anti-GamerGate fiasco was a psyop designed to divide people and drain them of money and direct influence that was being run by bad actors and useful idiots. I had forgotten her name until now, but I guess Wu was the Useful Idiot type.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

GamerGate was also weaponized to be used as tool to popularize far right ideology by Steve Bannon. The rise in groups like Proud Boys, Groypers and the Manosphere can all be traced back to the GamerGate movement.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I know. And while the GamerGate side was the far, far worse one, the anti GamerGate was also employing bad faith arguments and grifting their followers. Or in Wu's case, just plain dumb. Both sides where easy targets for each other's followers, which is how they wanted it. Who actually used that Call in a Gamer Girl service?

Look I know the party I voted for wants to get rid of me and everybody like me, but there's somebody else I hate and that's what's important!

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 124 points 6 days ago (5 children)

I guess trans people can be just as shitty as the rest of us. Don't hurt me, I'm one of you. Hurt all the OTHER trans people....

A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Damn.

Every conservative, from the most spiteful MAGAt to the polite nana across the street, all believe they are the exception and special. They won't be stepped on. It's all those other people that deserve it.

It doesn't matter if they are trans, cis, white, or black.

The core belief of conservatism is that they earned their place while all those others didn't.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah, trans people are just people. They're not like magic.

The most fucked up thing about this was that her single issue was demanding everyone support a genocide.

Have the day you voted for.

I've gone from being super far rightwing to now being super far leftwing over the course of my life; yet somehow, "Brianna Wu is a fucking idiot" has remained constant.

If you love your country, why did you vote for Trump?

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 46 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Well remember yesterday when Trump said smart people don’t like him?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 6 days ago

It's always fun to see how close he sometimes gets to an epiphany. But it's always from the wrong direction as it were.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Indeed. And they have every reason to.

"Ok, yeah, he's obviously raped kids. And he was best friends with known child rapist Epstein for decades. Oh, and he's convicted of raping women. And he's obviously a racist. And he's obviously a Russian asset. And he's obviously a traitor...and he hates my kind of people, but, BUT, we agree on this one specific thing so he gets my vote!
...
Oh shit, he's coming for me now. Who could've foreseen this!!!?!!"

[–] JingoBingo@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

She’s a professional victim, it’s nothing but a grift. Also lol she looks nothing like those photos she posted. That’s like a completely different person.

It never works out trying to be one of the good ones.

It's rough finding out that you're not "one of the good ones".

Claims: "Love the country"

Also: votes for a traitor

Wow. I didn't know there were people who underestimated the harm Trump would do to trans people because their single issue was Israel on both sides!

People like Brianna are living proof that MAGA is a huge grift. $$$$$

No idea who she is but still quite the meal for the leopard

‘I only wanted innocent Iranians to be killed!’

Liberals acting shocked every time the fascists turn on them, instead of just helping them kill middle eastern people.

Stfu Brianna. You sorry excuse for an American voter

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

People thinking they are famous on social media is one of the largest downfalls of society. Openly voting for a traitor and a pedophile so you can blend in with the other MAGA's isn't the flex you think it is.

Brianna Wu is a name I have not heard since like 2018? Or whenever the fuck Gamergate was.

I recall her going nuclear on bluesky about the rest of the platform not supporting Israel enough, but I haven’t seen or heard much from her for a while. I see I haven’t missed much. Maybe this is why Leo hasn’t had her on TWiT in ages, lol.
