“Activist”

Terrorist. Call it what it is.

Exactly. Conservative activist? LMFAO.

No, activism is fighting against political violence and oppression, not for it.

I don't give a fuck what wholesome sounding names you call your organization. Fascists are fascists.

Unless you're a conservative trying to reform your own party. Then I might reconsider my position.

edit: And fuck nbc for kowtowing to conservatives. May as well be Fox propaganda.

ALL of the MSM is beholden to rich folk. Some are total BS and some give you a reasonable amount of truth, but the control is always there.

What are you talking about? This man has spent years of his life forcing far-right fascist ideology, sharing it online and within all his social circles.

He’s clearly a left wing communist antifa agent.

+50% of republicans unironically have this view.

“The election was a fraud and January 6th was a justified attempt at revolution.”

“The ring-leaders are being persecuted due to their conservative beliefs.”

“The whole thing was orchestrated by the left”

You literally can’t make this shit up

His mother is Patricia Buckley, sister of William F Buckley and James Buckley. I guess his impeccable conservative lineage just became more “peccable.”

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Oh, wow. Thanks for the insight.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

See you in 4, kid! Try not to cry during sentencing!

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's 44. Not exactly a kid.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Republican. They all still act like children.

[–] treefrog@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Right!

Save the tears for the cell kid.

Everything else aside, how is he the IVth if his father the IIIrd has a different name?

[–] jwu@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Those don't need to be consecutive. King Charles III's father was not King Charles II. So he could just be the 4th in his family with that name. And the dad was the 3rd in family with the other name.

But it's also possibly a nickname thing.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There's no legal requirement for it.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Good, fuck that whole family.
