I've noticed the one Lemmy user in particular has launched a campaign of hate and racism towards Harris and it's kind of rough to see it go unmoderated.
Must be someone I've already blocked, because I'm not seeing it.
Frankly, I'm not seeing any anti-Harris campaign on here anywhere near as organized as the "gEnOcIdE jOe" one.
It was about thirty seconds after Biden announced he was done when it switched to Harris bad posts.
Ouf, it's sad to see it.
They’re regrouping. Trust me. They’re coming back once they have their marching orders.
Just avoid anything hexbear related.
Life improved for me after I blocked that whole instance
I learned with one conversation, this shit is crazy. Blocked it all.
It can be hard to see which instance somebody is on at a glance if you're on mobile.
If you're using Voyager: Go to settings -> appearance then scroll all the way to the bottom and toggle on the option for "Show user instance".
Edit: specified 'appearance' setting
I appreciate that and hope it helps somebody, but I am on mbin.
Or thunder for lemmy
thank you.
Racists on hexbear? I think you might be confused
Confused because they haven't blocked hexbear yet?
I'm sure the totally normal folks on hexbear swear up and down that they aren't racist.
Go ahead and count how many threads call for nuking 'western whites' and get back to us!
I can think of three right off the top of my head.
Name and shame.
Also I would like to simply be aware of who they are so I can block them.
Tempting, but probably frowned upon by the mods. Hang around any of the remotely political threads and you'll get to know some of the more frequent posters and their politics pretty quickly.
I wish you could call them out. I've blocked several and I'm not seeing what you're saying, wonder if it's one I've previously tagged and blocked.
I just block racist trolls... It's so easy, they add nothing to the conversation anyway. We don't have very many of them anyway, they can't figure out how to use Lemmy.
Call them out.
Does it relate to a princess of Oz? I have that one blocked.
"far-right trolls".
So, Republicans, then?
(Oh, and don't call them Nazis or racists or anything, though! The tone police will be out to claim to that this is why another Republican was trying to turn dementia donnie into pink mist)
Wait till this guy hears about the Trump VP's wife.
Doesn't count if you're on their "team." For now, anyways.
Ah.... that's hilarious.
It's not like Trump can appeal to a bunch of undecided bigoted assholes - he already had the bigoted asshole vote locked up.
If they keep it up, by November that's all he'll have.
Nobody tell them. I want to see how long it'll take for them to figure it out on their own. If they do.
That is the fundamental creeping fear of a Harris campaign. I'm old enough to remember Scott Brown winning Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate Seat largely on the "Ew! Lady Senator?! Gross!" misogynist vibes out of the less savory corners of Chowder Country. Not hard to forget the suffocating Tea Party backlash that struck the country in the wake of its first Black President, either.
There's definitely going to be some number of Biden -> Trump voters purely based on liberal-flavored patriarchal white nationalism. The only question is whether they're out in the swing states. And, if so, whether they'll be eclipsed by a countervailing wave of turnout.
I admit, I wasn't expecting them to go as far as using "Colored" as a general insult. Do they seriously think this helps Trump's chances?
Hell, it might.
Trump is more "Colored" than Harris. Colored Orange.
Deplorables, indeed.
So just like any other day that ends with Y
Naw.
There was a mix up in communication, this is an actual crusade. They went and got the swords and stuff, even.
So then, just Republicans?
We all knew it was going to happen. Racism, grievance and identity politics are their entire world.
Well, the to old, sleepy, and dementia "arguments" have lost their grip, so, lacking any actual arguments, they moved on to racism to fight Harris. That is something their clientele knows and can relate to...
nice thing is it might stick with hardcore republicans which will anyway vote Trump but it might even push people on the fence to Harris' direction as they are not so extreme. This is the best kind of propaganda one can hope for.
Right on queue.
*cue
Though, based on how many people were standing around waiting to say the N-word again, maybe there was a queue.
Arrest them all for hate crimes
Is this surprising anymore ?
Honestly, who is surprised? Those people are clowns and I'm sure Harris has been dealing with this since becoming a public figure. Her race is lower hanging fruit than her laugh, at this point. I was more surprised by the laughing shit than I am of this!
Does that really help them any? Anyone can plainly see she's a non-white woman.
Comparing propagandists and shills to the likes of Ken M is a disservice the art of trolling. It's like saying that eating crayons until one vomits onto a canvas to sell for a quick buck at a Sotheby's fine art/stolen cultural artifacts auction is comparable to Michaelangelo's David or Starry Night.
It is like people don't remember how media stars related to and from FOX News treated First Lady Michelle Obama and former President Obama.
Wait... Their precious arguments weren't substantiative?!
They are just looking for shit to complain about?
That says a lot.
It's stupid really.
Like I've mentioned before, just spam her word salads and expose her past. She's fkin done before she even started.
And btw, doesn't it make you wonder? Trump fills literal professional sports stadiums while Biden and Harris fills... at best.. a high school gymnasium. And yet... the polls... lol ah who am I kidding, this is mass hypnosis. An illusion.
Back to Reddit. Shoo.
Ew groce. No thanks.
BTW Black Lives Matter won't even fall for this chit this time around.
BLM are complaining about the process, not the candidate.
If you care, enjoy the comments by Black women and men following BLM post. Goes beyond the anti-democratic process.
But it's not important just voters who were already voting for Trump anyway.
Vaguely reference rhetoric and past without any specific objections then write her off?
Reasonable people not wanting to go to a political rally in person in 2024? I have better ways to get information and support candidates than standing around like an idiot all day.
It is stupid, really.
Covfefe
Listen to trump for one minute. Guy can’t even complete a sentence. It’s delusional to accuse elsewhere when that’s all he does
As opposed to Kamala who thinks she's some sort of philosopher trying to speak in weird fkin nonsensical parables? Ok.
