So this is set in a universe that’s exactly like ours except doctors wear no shirt instead of lab coats?
MAGAs don’t believe in doctors or medicine. That’s just Jim, he’s “politically neutral” and got suspended from med school after “prescribing” meth to his brother for ADHD, and selling it to him, and synthesizing it. Jim’s alright, and you don’t need no doctor, we can just go ask Jim what’s going on.
We all laugh but I had a coworker once who was basically this entire comment but living and breathing. Let’s call him Colton.
My asshole boss hired Colton when I was on vacation to be my “assistant” and I spent more time trying to fix his damage than get anything done. He had a neck tattoo and couldn’t wear clothes that fit, he was constantly sweating and going to the bathroom to do whatever cocktail of drugs kept him vertical. Colton said once “I got a doctor that lives next door, he hooks me up with medicine.”
One time Colton got involved in a robbery with one of our other employees, Colton wasn’t charged but the homeowner knew Colton was involved and came to the showroom where I worked with a gun. Police were called, it was a whole thing.
When the '09 recession hit, most of the workforce was laid off, myself included. My boss kept Colton on though because he liked having someone he could bully easily and he looooved treating Colton like a punching bag.
Totally off-topic but why is the doctor topless.
Wait, are you saying your doctor isn’t topless during your exams?
Without the lab coat they look like a regular person, sort of ruins the whole fantasy tbh.
Wait, you guys have doctors?

He just has very pert nipples. Showing themselves through his shirt.
If SCOTUS declares that president’s have infinite immunity today, it will be really funny to bully my grandpa that Biden is going to murder Trump and get away with it 🤭
They’re only going to do that if Trump gets in.
They’re ruling on it today.
Edit: well they were supposed to at least
It’s a very tight lab coat, I cry everytime

Wait. The smoking age was raised to 21?? When tf did this happen?
Edit: it was the very end of 2019, right as COVID was getting started.
Is this, ironically, an example of the left being unable to meme? (I am a “leftist”, I just thought that was kinda funny)
Yup, its how fascists took over the antivax movement. You see, when your currency is BS, you’ll always be outbid by fascists.
They don’t even care what the truth is or they’re so deep into the “big lie” that they know they can never turn back.
The first 2 examples aren’t the best considering there’s a school shooting every month and no one should be smoking let alone kids
There’s hundreds of better examples of how he fucked over everyone
Very few people voted for Trump based on his policy decisions. Most people just see him as a Washington outsider who speaks his mind and that’s where it starts and ends. They like him as a person.
They like him as a person.
So sounds like he did 2 things right then. More than I expected. Gun laws of course still need to be much stricter everywhere in the US
Sure.
But who built the systems that allowed a fraud like Trump to pull off this con?
I’m sure somehow it was democrats
Political parties don’t build systems - the interests that they represent do.
Ah, so it’s the “uniparty’s funders” or something then. bOtH sIdEs
If you truly wish to treat Trump, the system that created him and the system that protects him like some aberration of your (supposedly) “perfect” and “infallible” liberal pseudo-democratic system little ole’ me certainly won’t be stopping you - but only one of us will be surprised at what is coming.
your (supposedly) “perfect” and “infallible” liberal pseudo-democratic system
Said no one ever. No one believes this. Some of us just believe more fact-based things than the ever-popular emotional plea from the accelerationists: “the whole thing is bad, you have to destroy it completely for any meaningful progress to happen”
Said no one ever.
Oh, you don’t have to - it is perfectly obvious that you and the rest of the liberal hive mind that is rapidly gentrifying Lemmy believe liberalism is (supposedly) “perfect.” That is the very reason you see people like Trump and the systemic violence he represents as an aberration and not a predictable product of this very system.
There’s a saying amongst leftists (actual leftists - not the co-opting shitlibs self-applying that label on here), “scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds.” Or, as Malcolm X put it…
“The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.”
MLK noted it, too, in his “Letters From A Birmingham Jail” - there’s nothing new about having a proper understanding of what liberalism really is.
It’s just new to you.
This is just stupid. Ya know, pretending people believe stuff doesn’t will it into existence. And even if it did, all you’d be accomplishing here is feeling superior.
