Ok but is this an actual person or one of the bot accounts who's location was shown to be not in the US? Was all that location data saved anywhere?

We probably agree on abortion and the second amendment, but you think we don’t cause your people tell you we believe some crazy shit.

We don’t want abortions at 8 months for no good reason and we don’t (for the most part) want guns made illegal for everybody.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 68 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Nobody wants abortions for no good reason. The key is that it's a decision that should be left to the doctor and the patient. Every person has their own threshold for what constitutes a "good" reason, and my beliefs on the matter aren't more valid than anyone else's. Why should I make medical decisions for any person? Why would anyone expect personal morals to be the standard by which everyone must live?

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

If you want to have an a portion for fun at 6 weeks, have at it. If you want that at 8 months, you’re not going to find many people agreeing with you.

Republicans says that’s what Dems want. It’s not.

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 21 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

At 8 months you have all your baby stuff and a name picked out. If a tiny fraction of a percent of abortions are "for fun" at 8 months it is not a reason to prevent abortions for all

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 28 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It really baffles me that people actually think abortions are happening at 8 or 9 months pregnant without a medical reason. If a woman wants an abortion, she's going to get it as early as possible. Nobody is carrying a baby for that long and suddenly changing their minds.

[–] ragepaw@piefed.ca 24 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

It baffles me more that a non-zero number of them believe post-term abortion is a thing.

These are not smart people.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 14 points 8 hours ago

Apparently it is for Trump, so maybe it's just a Republican thing and they're projecting.

You mean, killing the new born by throwing it over the cliff, Sparta-style ?

This is the shit I keep trying to tell people. i have a whole huge story about my family's experience with needing abortion. There's literally no real live anti-abortion human I have ever talked to that has heard our story and said "Yeah, you still shouldn't have been able to do it. If your twins died because you couldn't abort that triplet that had basically no brain left from a massive stroke you only discovered at 20 weeks then that was God's Will." Every single one of them thinks that our situation was one of the "permissible" ones, but that there's still this massive problem of floozies using it as birth control and people aborting 8 month fetuses that needs to be controlled.

I keep having to tell them that A) nobody gets 8 months into a pregnancy and just flippantly decides they don't want it anymore, something catastrophic has happened, and B) there's no way you can ban it for those so-called "irresponsible women" without also de facto banning it for people like us. Because that hypothetical party girl you're imagining getting her 10th abortion this year? Waiting a week for the Morality Panel to check if she eligible is a minor inconvenience, but it would have killed my twins.

I'm not for any regulation on abortion. It should be a medical decision.

[–] Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

There literally should not be. Considering how time sensitive the most serious cases where it's needed can be? It should be up to a woman and her doctor, period. End of story. If someone thinks they are misusing that care, sue for malpractice.

But like my wife alone has had her life saved by abortion so many times. She's had an ectopic that would have ruptured and killed her, a miscarriage that wouldn't pass that she almost died of sepsis from, and there was the selective termination of one of our triplets because the seizures she was having were killing the other two babies and my wife's health was drastically declining waiting for the termination so she very likely might not have survived delivering them if we hadn't terminated the one.

Any one of those procedures even a few days of delay while some "Morality Panel" decides if you're situation is one of the "permitted ones" is going to kill people, many of whom being babies like my twins they claim to want to protect.

He's exactly what he said he would be you dizzy fuck

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 41 points 9 hours ago

That's the wildest part. All the things we tried to warn them of were the things he said he would do.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 hours ago

"Dizzy fuck" is an insult I've never heard before

[my response to the content of the post, not the lovely fediverse people]

Apology not accepted. We appreciate that you finally noticed, but your stuborness has cost everyone dearly. You clearly have learned nothing, as you appear not to be changing your beliefs. You will still fall for the next shmuck to sing about how its ok to be an entitled mouth-breather, and we will do this all again in a few years.

Have the day you voted for.

This has gotta be fake. I have never known a Republican to admit wrongdoing.

Everything from abortion to the second ammendmen

So like "we like all the same foods from French fries to hash browns?" Seriously, pick maybe something other than the two most psyop'd culture war BS to make "your" point with

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 19 points 10 hours ago

Also, they definitely don't understand the progressive position on either of those issues.

I can't stop laughing about it, though I hope that Kitty was able to get back to a more typical size.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

There's been a lot to eat lately, hopefully that changes and it can lose some weight.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 30 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If Trump ran for a third term, this traitor would think it was awesome, and vote for him.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 20 points 5 hours ago

Surely he wouldn't lie three times

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 hours ago

"when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong" .... This is a statement of intent. That you will say you're wrong, when you are wrong...

This is not an admission of fault. This is not saying "I am wrong".

Way to dance around saying the one thing that actually matters in this whole damn thing..... And.... You're sorry? I don't want your sorry. What will your sorry do for everyone fucked over by the rapist convict you put in the Whitehouse?

Fuck you. I hope the leopards eat the rest of you too.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Same fake troll account that gets posted here all the time. Will people ever get it--This account is NOT a real maga who ever voted for trump. Their posts are all anti-trump and never anti-dem/liberal--they just want to make it look like a magat regrets their vote so lefties can gloat and feel good.

I don’t think that this fits here. This is someone saying they’re sorry that they didn’t listen, not someone saying how could this happen.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

While also still saying they hate just about everything there is about you. This isn't an apology it's an attempt to reclaim some moral dignity.

They will do it again.

We should not be penalising people for admitting when they're wrong, otherwise they'll never admit they're wrong and stick even more to their harmful beliefs. Good for them for having the courage to change their mind about something so fundamental. Hopefully now they know Trump is bad they can also consider/have conversations about some other things too.

[–] Devial@discuss.online 25 points 3 hours ago

If the the beliefs of universal social safety nets and workers rights and taxing billionaires is "abhorent to every value she has", then she is still a major piece of shit. Her realising, way too late, that Trump is a piece of shit doesn't excuse or undo any of her other vitriolic hatred, which she openly states that she still believes in. Nor should it

Which is hilarious considering who they worship instead.

[–] salacious_coaster@feddit.online 11 points 10 hours ago

Assuming this is a real person, they can go eat shit. Every one of us had at least 10 years to get wise to Trump's bullshit. His plans were published in detail. Fuck off. You've killed us you putrid rectal warts.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

Now that Trump has been outed as an accomplice to child rape at best and actual child rapist at worst all the grifters are washing their hands of him. This is a bullshit nonapology meant as damage control for her brand.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Pathological malignant narcissist's first attempt at apologizing for anything serious in their life.

Rating: 0.5/10 (F--)

Only not 0.0 because it is at least an attempt, technically, they did at least identify some things that they did... but they don't actually directly express regret for them... though you could maybe, possibly, conclude that they mean to imply this.

Every single other element of this is abysmal and indicates insincerity, that its more of a panic response than anything meaningful.

They have not done any self reflection.

They have no understanding of what fundamentally caused them to make the error.

They don't care at all to have an actual dialogue as they are just asserting what the other person thinks, and attack the person they're apologizing to in the 'apology'.

Its obvious that they are furious that they've got no other choice than to admit some kind of being wrong if they want to be taken any kind of seriously about anything, ever again.

... and they obviously do not present a plan for their own self reflection / self improvement going forward.


It is absurd and laughable that they think this consitutes their eyes being open.

And that's all assuming this is any kind of genuine or from an actual real person.

This is an admission of guilt, like a child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar, not an actual apology though, as they're barely cognizant of what they've done, what needs making amends, how that would be done.

Laughably pathetic, when considered as if it was a genuine apology.

The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is this, is willingly joining a hateful death cult, and then doing hateful death cult things, with glee, and justifying them through vicious lies and nearly a decade of abdicating the responsibility every adult has to think critically for themselves.

Sowwy we voted for fascism guys :(( still hate u tho 🤪

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Wait until the nonvoting Dem side tells you voting for Kamala was only about 'toeing the party line' and not about 'stopping a literal rapist from taking office and raping the country'. Duhh... I has a brain, don't tell me what to do.

Waiting on 'common sense' from these fools is futule. But hey, at least we saved Gaza, right? 2028 is gonna be 2024 all over again, with more bots, tankies and their ai.
