“Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally. You meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
Expert level burn.
Thanks for the anti-clickbait.
Not clickbait, when MAGA supporters get hit with reality this hard they literally disperse into a puff of smoke
I mean the “one liner” could at least have been put in the OP.
It definitely is clickbait
I AM SO FUCKING HERE FOR THE SASSY MOM COMEBACKS IN THE WHITEHOUSE
Love it–just like the zingers Obama gave out. Biden used to be able to deliver witty comebacks too but not much anymore 😐
Well it IS the inevitable fate of any living creature on Earth at least. Except tardigrades maybe 🤔
Sooooo… Tardigrade for president 2028?
I’d vote for a tardigrade president and a ham sandwich vice president over Trump any day.
Coulda added, “don’t worry, you probably haven’t missed the dance number, they go on for a while.”
When the commotion started, Harris smiled at the disrupters and said, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”
As the crowd roared, Harris readied the punchline:
“I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
Ouch.
The crowd erupted again as Harris laughed and waved the protesters goodbye.
I don’t really get going to political rallies at all, but what kind of losers with nothing better to do go to a political rally of your opponent.
It’s an attempt to intimidate or even start a fight. You know, like brownshirts.
So… do you think the brown comes from Dear Leader’s diaper?
Silver shirts to red caps.
I would have loved to see them fucking try. This isn’t 1939
Ehhh, I don’t know about that assessment
I can confirm it is 2024.
In 1939, they came with billy bats and sticks and actually got into fistfights.
Today, they come with assault rifles and bombs. I don’t want to see them “try” anything, thank you.
Into a packed, well guarded (especially so after two failed assassination attempts of another candidate) arena?
Good luck even getting inside.
They’ve been trying for at least 8 years.
I went to a Bernie rally. Only time I’ve wanted to go to a rally before or since.
Same. He was amazing in Washington Sq Park in 2016
Saw him in 2016, it was good. He did just kind of repeat thr exact same talking points he always hit but he was definitely passionate and the crowd loved him.
Same, Bernie is a cool dude, would have loved to see him be president
I went to a Bernie Sanders rally, it was 🔥
I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It’s strange, right? But I’m glad it’s something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.
I’d be down for people going to Trump rallies to harass and abuse him.
Problem is, there is no exit strategy.
Apparently at a few of his rallies attendees have been stuck without buses. He doesn’t care what happens after
Also, he doesn’t pay his bills for the rallies apparently either to the city
Why not, it’s only antidemocratic if they do it, right?
Democracy in a 2 party system? puh-lease.
He like red. You like blue. Everyone get purple. This, ooga booga, is more fair. Is better democracy, ooga booga.
Who needs it right? Let’s go harass political opponents, jail journalists we don’t like, have people executed on our birthdays like they do in Russia - there is no democracy in a 2 party system anyway, why keep appearances. Let’s go full fascist, that will show how we are better than the other fascists.
Of course using your voice to shout down literal fascists is the same as gaoling journalists and executing people as birthday presents . . .
Intolerance cannot be tolerated.
It’s not the same, it’s in the same direction. If you want to defeat somebody you must make sure you remain better than them, otherwise they may as well win.
I don’t think anyone called the hecklers antidemocratic for being there.
That’s an invitation to the general public (including conservatives) to attend (could be online) a Trump rally to see for themselves. It wasn’t an order to go to the opponent (and heckle them).
It’s gigantic difference.

Got eeeeem
What a treat
They probably showed up expecting a “weak” and “stupid”/“low IQ” Harris fumbling over mindlessly reading the teleprompter to a handful of mentally unwell AI-generated rabid leftists and drag queens and instead got their ass handed to them
I know there was some dingdong on here last week sure her campaign was going to blow up this week and her numbers were going to tank. I’m giving it another week or two before responding again just to drive home how big of a dingdong they really are.
Normalize tactical use of “dingdong”
I support this as long as we bring back dagnabbit as well.
We all have our part to play in making the world an amusing place, dagnabbit
Is it time to knock the dust off my hornswagglers, yet?
As long as you don’t mind me doing some lollygaggin
Just don’t land us in a boodoggle.
And because she had a quick response for them other MAGA are going to claim they were plants and not real MAGA.
Love when they go to “prove” something only to get disowned by their own in-group.
That’s actually pretty good. She didn’t even need to say how great her rally was or how it was the best rally or how no one does a masterlock confefe like she does
She also didn’t say they need to get knocked out.
💥🔥
Trump’s response would have been “won’t somebody rid me of these troublesome Democrats?”
You’re right! It happened a few days ago, but his threat was slightly more specific:

TBH, I didn’t particularly like this response. I think it might have been better if she had welcomed them, and mentioned something about learning about the real world or something.
To me it was needlessly divisive. “You don’t belong here, go back to where you are welcome” is how it came off, which feels especially wrong coming from a black woman.
Lol, who the fuck are you to dictate what is our isn’t uncouth for a black woman to say?
which feels especially wrong coming from a black woman.
What I’m hearing is that you are both racist and sexist.
Fascist detected.
It depends on what they were there for. If it’s just to be hecklers and be disruptive, then ridicule them.
I get you there. There’s also an argument for taking the high ground, but I guess the bar is super low given the competition.
People are tried of “taking the high ground” when Republicans have spent the last 20 years taking the low ground.
I absolutely see both points here. But maybe do both? Like “Are you sure you aren’t supposed to be at the smaller rally across the street but you’re welcome to stay if you really care about the country and want to join the good guys”
I can see your point on that.
Not very difficult to one-up MAGA people. But she was badass for saying that and off-the-cuff like that. I still didn’t vote for her, but props to her!
I still didn’t vote for her
Fuck you for not voting against Trump.
He literally posts vote-third-party slop in the lemmy.world politics community all the time. He’s either paid, 100% pro-Trump, or a useful idiot.
They’re a MAGA troll. They voted directly for Donald.
I’m allowed to vote for whoever I want to. As are you. Thank you! :)
Yes, you are free to vote for whoever you want to and I’m free to call you a shithead for not voting against Trump.
I’d also like to second the shit head comment.
Yeah that will change his mind, what kind of reasonable individual wouldn’t be swayed by calling them a shithead.
You should consider joining one of those things where they call people on the phone to make them vote, just please do it for the republicans.
If someone by now isn’t concerned about defeating Trump, there’s literally nothing we can do about it other than to call them out for being a shitbag for voting 3rd party.
It must be nice to have the luxury of making a protest vote. They must think their life wouldn’t change either way.
Hey don’t get me wrong I think his decision of voting for a third party is really really really stupid, I don’t think we disagree here.
But the political discourse in the current time is dead, and it’s polarisation that killed it. There can be no healthy democracy in an environment where opponents are not seen as dignified people who you disagree with.
I’m doing my part here to keep democracy alive. This guy is somebody who has ideas I find to be very wrong, but is still a guy like me and you who is doing the best he can like me and you, albeit misguidedly.
But the political discourse in the current time is dead, and it’s polarisation that killed it.
“Not being polite to fascists is the real problem!”
Fuck you too.
I can appreciate that. And it’s exactly how I feel. People seem to have forgotten how to agree to disagree. And like you, I think that’s why the country is so divided.
I have friends of all political flavors. That’s the beauty of democracy!
Thank you, and sorry of all the downvotes and accusations you’re going to get for not automatically hating me! :)
I don’t care if Trump wins. I also don’t care if Harris wins. I didn’t vote for either one. Thank you! :)
“Reasonable individual,” ha.
Thank you!
<insert cheesy misattributed Voltaire quote>
Yep, doesn’t change the facts tho. And doesn’t change that fact that there are plenty of other people who’ll be voting third party as well. Name calling may not be the best way to approach things. But you do you. Thanks! :)
And no one’s stopping you from wearing your red hat, either.
True. If I wanted to wear my red hat, I could. No laws against it. No rules against it. Thank you, friend! :)
I’m not your fwiend. Buddy.

Actually, no you’re not.
Amen, bruther! TrUmP 2024!! Awoooo!!!
When there is nothing at stake for you you have the luxury of voting third party. That is essentially a vote for Trump. We know you know this because it’s been explained to you in every post. Must be nice having all that privilege.
The rest of us, in the meantime have to live with the consequences of your decision. As parents, as students saddled with debt, as members of every minority community under attack, as children whose school lunches are being taken away, as children of DACA: a very hearty fuck you from the bottom of our hearts.
Must be nice having all that privilege.
I grew up in poverty, I’m biracial, bisexual, poor, uneducated, and my job in public elementary school pays shit–a school by the way, where I deal directly with kids who’s school lunches (and breakfasts!) are an issue.
Oh yeah, plus I’m fucking old and face age-discrimination every day.
Yeah, friend, all this privilege is awesome! Funny tho, I thought privilege would be way more awesome. :/
Did you just list 70% of the issues the Harris campaign wants to get sorted as your own issues, and you still don’t think there’s anything in it for you if they win?
Gotta be a troll. I can’t believe anyone acting against their own interests in such a stark way.
I happily voted for my Socialist candidate. Thank you! :)
Yeah I’ve heard of their program before :
-All citizens of the state shall be equal as regards rights and obligations.
-The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally or physically. The activity of individual may not clash with the interests of the whole, but must proceed within the framework of the whole for the benefit for the general good. We demand therefore:
-Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery.
-In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice of life and property that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment due to a war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. Therefore, we demand ruthless confiscation of all war profits.
-We demand nationalization of all businesses which have been up to the present formed into companies (trusts).
-We demand that the profits from wholesale trade shall be shared out.
-We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
-We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
-We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of land rent and prevention of all speculation in land.
-We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
-We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
-The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the state must be striven for by the school [Staatsbürgerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the state of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
There are only two options based on this statement and calling them out will violate community rules.
Sorry, I know it and everyone else on this platform knows you’re making this up.
If you did vote third party in this election you actively voted for the party that is legislating (and has already succeeded in some states) to remove school lunches. We know you know this.
Now fuck right off with your lies.
So which part are you saying I’m lying about though?
You’re clearly intentionally lying. Everyone knows it. You claim to be a socialist for the people then post literally thousands of times in effort to get trump elected. And yes we’ve all heard the empty line about how you didn’t vote for Trump. No one needs to explain spoiler candidates to you, you understand the concept.
How often you post would likely concern any psychologist, let alone the manipulative dishonest content of said posts.
You’re clearly intentionally lying.
About what?
Might be true but very “as a black man” vibes. Especially with your post history being pro Trump (who hates bis, non whites, poor people etc).
Guess this will get moderated soon because you only know hate and violence.
I’m not pro-Trump and I’ve already voted. And I didn’t vote for him. Thank you! :)
I’m biracial.
Your profile says “transracial”. Did you forget you were on a trolling account?
I didn’t put biracial in my profile, BECAUSE I put transracial there. Do you honestly think I’d forget if I were biracial?! Think about that a sec…
And I’m not a troll. Thank you! :)
Were you assigned biracial at birth?

They’re just mad that your religion allows you the ability to hate and love Christ at once. Keep fighting democracy, brother!!
I didn’t vote for her as I am not American. What is your excuse for supporting the criminal felon Trump?
I didn’t vote for him. Thanks!
You did. Just in a roundabout way.
There are two candidates that matter, and only one sane choice. A vote against the sane choice is a vote for the sociopath.
I didn’t vote “against” anyone. I voted “for” someone. I voted for the person I wanted to vote for. Thank you! :)
