"He is destroying America, which is a very good thing"

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretend you think they're asking about turnips, and give your honest opinion on those delicious root vegetables.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

Or pretend you think they're talking about the trick-taking card game trump, or triomphe.

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

pretending trump is still on the apprentice is a start but acting like a huge reality tv head--compare seasons, similar shows and hosts-- mfs will feel like they've stepped into a different decade

You live in Norway. What, you’re going to be thought of extra lib if you say Trump is a piece of shit?

[–] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I would just repeatedly assert that he's the same as any other president. Oh he's using America's hegemony to bully its "allies"? Unfortunate that that just started now. Oh he says overtly racist and ridiculous things? Must be the first one. His economic policies are hurting you now? Guess we're including the right countries finally.

Oh he says overtly racist and ridiculous things? Must be the first one.

I mean, yeah? He’s the first US head of state I’ve lived under who has explicitly called immigrants from south of the borderremoveds. He’s explicitly equated Nazis with those fighting them. On many things he’s no different than other presidents, true, but I think racist rhetoric makes a big difference and I don’t think other US heads of state were nearly as verbally racist as he was.

But then again, I’m not white and you probably have a more even handed, objective take on this thing.

What? You don't even have to go back more than one president. Biden was repeating extremely racist obvious propaganda about Palestinians. You should tell the people who were being bombed and then collectively labelled "r*pists" that things only got bad when they started getting called worse names.

If you are actually convinced of what you said, I really don't know what to tell you.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net -2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

When did Biden flat out label all Palestinians asremoveds and murderers? What is the absolute worst thing he has said about Palestinians, as a people?

Show me some video evidence and I’ll shut up. Anything as bad as ‘When Mexico sends its immigrants (people), they're not sending their best ... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with [them]. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're r*pists. And some, I assume, are good people."

And no, just because I’m attacking Trump doesn’t make me a Biden supporting Dem

You completely intentionally distorted what I said and then are demanding I jump through rhetorical hoops that you set up. This is the most reddit thing ever. The only thing I said is that he is not the first president to say overtly racist and ridiculous things. Go watch some George Bush speeches, read something of what Andrew Jackson wrote. The fact that you disagree with what I wrote is just unexplainable.

And I said this:

when they started getting called worse names.

You are not reading what I'm writing. This clearly isn't a discussion.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net -4 points 3 weeks ago

You said something about racist rhetoric and I made it a point to make a debate about that. I didn’t distort shit.

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

tell em youre so glad they asked as youre an advance guard charged with gathering Intel on their countries value. start asking probing questions about the worth of various buildings, govt programs, whether they'd like to sell, whatever is nearby...etc... bust out a calculator and keep a straight face for as long as you can.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

lol, yeah, tell them you work for some giant bank in the US and you're there to negotiate the handover of managerial control of their sovereign wealth fund to make it more efficient and maximize its profitability.

if they don't try to kill you immediately, they are part of the problem.

Say you support JDPON Don in his relentless war against the so called "workers" of Amerikkka

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

say you have compromising pictures of trump when you guys had passionate gay sex and you escaped from the US when he got elected so you don't get whacked

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

First say "jeg taler ikke englesk", then regardless of what they said back, say "jeg taler ikke Dansk"

Pretend you don't know what they're talking about

"donald trump? the pro wrestler?"

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago
