The hillbilly trope for Trump supporters is counterproductive.
Wealthy white, black folks and Latinos did just as much to get Trump into power.
The liberal elitism so many of y’all cling to will only hurt the left even more.
Trump cannot play golf and care about egg prices same time. Priorities, you know …?
we’e on the verge of a bleed-from-your-ass pandemic like we haven’t seen in more than a hundred years because of American farming practices, and all Americans care about is the price of eggs
Sorry…what?
How about you tell me where I lost you, and I’ll fill you in.
Well I’ll be buying the black market vaccines from international smugglers. The cons are on their own.
Yeah, you do that. Dont forget your weekly boosterll.
Living life on the subscription plan over here lol.
Between the “SAVE Act” which threatens to disenfranchise married women and the possibility that there won’t be a flu vaccine in the US next year, I just told my mom to get herself a passport. My wife (and me and the kids) will be getting ours for those reasons plus just flat-out wanting to leave.
I mean, that only proves that those trans people are sneaking into bathrooms. We all know that the deep state dedicates a substantial amount of resources to make sure trans women get to piss in the sinks in women bathrooms. That’s why they make them so good at sports, so they can ninja their way to the most purests of sinks. And the eggs are expensive because the deep state loans the money for transing kids from the Big Egg. Why did you think those trans people call cis people eggs? They’re going to eat us. And piss in our sinks.
Mom, I told you that you can only be on the internet for 30 minutes a day, and that can only be on Facebook.
Look at you, on Lemmy? You’re gonna let the communists win like that? Look what they did to you! You’re basically a tankie now!
Now go get Dad from the garage and tell him about about how the gay chemtrail frogs edited Jeffry Epstein’s flight logs.
mmm big egg 🥚

People talking about the price of eggs really shows how uninformed and ignorant your are. Eggs are expensive because millions of chickens where killed due to bird flue nothing to do with politics or economic policy.
well, that they used eggs as a campaign pitch during such a time only proves they care next to zero about the promises they make and the people they make these promises to. they just hand it out like colorful fliers. whatever sells baby.
I believe the word for that behaviour is “politics”. Every single politician in the entire history of politicians have lied to everyone.
moving goal posts I see. First it was “well yes they promised to drop the prices but there is bird flu so it is very difficult” now you are saying “it is okay that they lie because they are politicians”. You still have the choice to not defend their particular lies by trying to find reasonable explanations for them, that is on you. Of course if you are an aspiring politician that is another matter.
I ain’t defending them at all lol. I’m just trying to post the facts below a piece of misinformation. Everyone downvoting, taking offensive at that is funny af lol.
So you are saying that their policies are generally wrong?
Most of em. But then again I doubt anyone in this thread is capable of subtly
Yea but then you are missing the point that people are not criticising their inability to fulfill their promise but making a clearly unfulfillable promise their main campaign slogan. please lets not cycle back to the politicians argument, that does not make it immune to criticism.
They made it a campaign issue.
It’s perfectly fair to criticize their unfulfillable promises.
So trump has done a better job educating the maga morons on the issue than biden? Cos that seems like what ur cartoon is implying.
Yes. Conservatives only learn when something impacts them directly.
There are other, less tortured interpretations that you have QUITE ODDLY glided past. Such bad faith comments only serve to soothe your own emotional needs.
What a classy way to call someone a hysterical fool. Good on you!
What an excellent well thought out and educational message.
U just hadn’t got to then yet
Jajajajajajaja laughs in Spanish
If you were educated you wouldn’t have that shitty ass grammar.
Gotta love a grammar Nazi always adding something productive to any discussion.
Nazi
Projection at its core.
So u had this ready to go and still posted the misinformation? Your are too busy shouting ur misinformation in a politically and arguably racially motivated attack (ur original cartoon is a stereotypical white trash depiction) to realise your are the very thing u swore to destroy. You are doing exactly what the maga supporters are you are just as bad. U have no moral heigh ground all u have is a very severe case of itsokwhenidoitism.
U gonna engage in good faith or just post memes and apply zero critical thinking?
Fair point on the punching down.
Zombie essentially responded to this post earlier if you had thoughts there?
Zombie has a good point I don’t got any qualms with it. I will point out that I do find the irony of the left ignoring the science and being willfully ignorant of the truth purely for the purposes of political gain is somewhat entertaining and somewhat very sad.
The left knew the science, and shouted it all the time. Just like they knew all the time that the president’s ability to affect inflation was limited too, and shouted that all the time as well to no avail. When the right doesn’t listen to logic, they get made fun of with the bare facts.
So u admit I’m right? Do u also admit that op’s post is a racial stereotype of white trash and also misinformation by ignoring the scientific and factual basis of the issue? Do u admit that its purpose is to act as a political attack (self evident given the community its posted to). Could one therefore conclude that ops post is a racially motivated political attack spreading misinformation?
I’m an Aussue we have a good healthcare system so ur fuckup isn’t my problem. I just thought I’d pop in and point out the hypocrisy.
Holy shit that’s funny.
I thought you were being serious at first. 10/10!
I am please elaborate
That’s how a corporate culling works u cull more than u think then u bring back the bits u need.
Corporations do this to maximize profit. The US government is supposed to maximize helping citizens, it’s what we pay for. The U.S. government is essentially a non profit.
For the US government, profit-motivated strategy is inappropriate.
We need the people they fired to be doing their job even when there isn’t a pandemic. Having these people in staff is exact the same as hiring firefighters and cops, they’re for responding to emergencies. And just like firefighters and cops, they do investigation, training and research when there isn’t an emergency.
These people should not have been culled. Doing so when there isn’t an imminent pandemic is stupid enough, but sacking them when there’s already several outbreaks in progress is monumentally stupid. IIts like fireing the firefighters as they’re driving to the fire. It’s the exact kind of move I’d expect a short term thinker who has never dealt with personal consequences to act. It’s an incredibly idiotic thing to do.
thank you! you get it.
people with decades of experience responding to communicable illnesses have been getting fired without cause or driven out of government just for some conservative publicity stunt precisely when they’re needed (which it turns out, is actually all the time). even when no diseases are breaking out, they are developing plans and strategies for the next event. we need these experts.
The government absolutely is a corporation just their product is violence for which they hold a regional monopoly and the bord members are elected.
Its not profit driven that just means they don’t have shareholders they need to pay (ignoring that the national dept is essentially exactly that). Running the government is a zero sum game u need to get the money somewhere and u have all sorts of opportunity costs u need to account for with every dollar.
You responded to one word of the parent comment, and ignored the rest.
Because the rest was predicated upon that word.
What corporation? I thought we were talking about a government agency tasked with the safeguarding of American food & agriculture. You don’t randomly “cull” departments that are in the middle of handling a national emergency.
The government is practically a corporation except the product they sell and hold a regional monopoly on is violence the board members just happen to be elected.
Corporate guru over here
lol “we meant to do that”
even corporations wouldn’t be stupid enough to fire people working on H5 response at the onset of a possible pandemic. If you end up removing people in critical roles then you delay response to a situation where weeks matter.
Again if u read the science then u would understand most experts in the field are not significantly concerned about a pandemic in the near term. And u would also know that we should be applying the lessons from covid19 such as travel restrictions being mostly ineffective and cheap easily accessible testing is far more important than anticipated, that traditional anti viral medication is still effective etc etc.
If they haven’t learned from and can’t apply the science from the last pandemic then they aren’t doing their job.
most experts in the field are not significantly concerned about a pandemic in the near term
This, but the opposite. This whole thread has been you saying stupid things for your own emotional needs. You know, if this is just your defense mechanisms speaking, you’d get just as much out of it if after composing your comment, you clicked “Cancel”.
Most? By what metric, hopefully not your wishful thinking and only focusing on articles that support your views. I would really like to see your science sources on this. And by sources I don’t mean science articles that discuss H5 is not a near term risk (for every such article I can easily find you one that says it is), I mean some sort of literature review that shows MOST experts in the field are not worried. I am educated enough to know the dynamics is complex and the situation is at best unpredictable. Common sense worth a grain of sand requires we should be on alert mode until the animal endemic is over, not firing possibly essential workers because it looks cool when you do it wielding a chainsaw. If we are just gonna trade articles though I will start:
https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/bird-flu-is-raising-red-flags-among-health-officials
"On January 6, the Louisiana Department of Health announced that a patient hospitalized last month for H5N1 avian influenza had died, becoming the first U.S. death from the virus. To make matters worse, samples taken from the individual suggest that the virus mutated within the patient after infection—meaning it had begun to adapt to infect humans better—raising new questions about H5N1’s pandemic potential. "
My gut feeling is that you are a troll but nevertheless your questions help inform other people who are on the fence about such stuff so thanks.
If they haven’t learned from and can’t apply the science from the last pandemic then they aren’t doing their job.
Do you think that they are being fired based on merit?
we should be applying the lessons from covid19
Who do you think brings the relevant experience and science into practice for pandemic response? People who were fired.
Did you forget the s or are you saying that with a straight face?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
