Republican humor is always dishonest

u/Neveronlyadream 2d ago
That's generally because it's not humor. It's right-wing virtue signaling and ranting.
There are a ton of videos on the subject, but most conservative comedians don't tell jokes. They go off on hateful, cliched rants and then pause for audience applause. There are no punchlines, there's no humor, it's just them standing up on a soapbox and being hateful.
They all love to use the "attack helicopter" and "my pronouns are kiss/my/ass" lines too. It's incestuous at this point.

u/Short-Holiday-4263 2d ago
"My pronouns are kiss/my/ass" is at least a joke response to being asked for your pronouns. Not a great one, but actually a joke for once... probably why they love using it and sharing it around.
It's exciting to come across rare things...5
u/Neveronlyadream 2d ago
It's a joke, yeah. But in the context I keep seeing it in (it was Rob Schneider and Roseanne Barr's standup routines), no one asked. There was no setup. If I recall, both of them were, "Kids these days and their pronouns! My pronouns are kiss/my/ass!"
It comes across as their having to invent outrage for themselves to tell a joke that isn't a joke anymore.
2
u/teddy5 2d ago
To be fair, standup does require you to create your own setups and they're both known to be terrible standups. So that could just be a Rob Schneider and Roseanne Barr issue.
There are definitely less of them but there are some good right wing comedians as well as some which are probably right wing but keep their comedy fairly apolitical.

Secession would be hysterical though. "My state will leave the union should we not have all fast food industries offer our chicken nuggets in the shape of dinosaurs!"
Granted, that's more or less the same base argument I listened to in Texas when I lived there.

Right, and they're ignoring the entire distinction between one person having the right to control their own identity vs multiple nations and 400+ years of history that one person is unilaterally changing for everyone.
Strangers don't have a right to have an opinion on your name. They do have a right to have input on a public piece of land that no one actually owns.

I like to respond to people who push back against using preferred names/pronouns by calling them cunts, then asking if they like being addressed as cunt. They usually don't like it, but the symbolism is always lost on them.

If they can't respect others they've given up their right to have their own name respected.

Just start addressing Coleton as "Jessica" in every response.
Every. Response. Throw in a "smile more" or "you should wear a nice necklace with shirts like that" as a bonus.

u/kandoras 2d ago
Remember when Trump's 'grab them by the pussy' tape came out in 2016?
Here was Rush Limbaugh's opinion of it:
“If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine," Limbaugh said. "Whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left."

The issue also isnt that he can't rename it. Landmarks get renamed fairly often. It's just that his reasons for doing so and the name he chose are stupid. Like, he already named one body of water "America". It's like it's the only name he can think of for things. Also, it comes off as a petty toddler move to rename the lake because Canada made him mad.

Who got to name it Lake Ontario? I don't want to change it, and this whole thing is stupid. However it was named by someone, so why do they get to choose? Did the lake consent to being named that?
3
u/SakeWad 2d ago
The name dates to the 17th century. "Ontario" comes from an Indigenous term, the Iroquoian word "oniatarí," meaning "lake of shining waters."
It's been Lake Ontario for hundreds of years and nobody was asking for it to be changed until Trump, who did so in a childlike tantrum to annoy Canadians (since they have a province also named Ontario).

u/DrNoxin 2d ago
Why do American Liberals feel the need to respond to every single stupid thing that your fascist party says and does? Have you all heard the saying "don't feel the trolls?" The whole point of all of this is your reactions. That's it. By entertaining them, you are giving them exactly what they want. Change the subject to your pedophile president driving up fuel prices and starting WWIII, much more relevant topics.

u/Bo_Jim 2d ago
When did the lake choose to identify as Lake Ontario?
It seems to me that a country has the right to choose the name of any territory within it's borders, and change that name anytime it chooses.
Lake Ontario/Lake America is not the only body of water that borders more than one country, and which has a different name in each country. The Rio Grande river, for example, is called the Rio Bravo in Mexico. The sea separating the Korean peninsula and Japan is known as the East Sea in both North and South Korea, while Japan calls it the Sea of Japan.
I don't think Trump is doing this out of any sense of national pride. I think he's doing it because he knows how much it infuriates the people who hate him. He's trolling them.

u/laserpewpewAK 2d ago
George Washington (yes, seriously) personally signed the treaty that made the name "Ontario" official. It doesn't really get more patriotic than that. We know he's doing it to troll, and it's pathetic.

Lots to unpack here, but the short answer is: because we signed a treaty with 6 other nations guaranteeing we would honor the name. It used to be that people cared about keeping their word.

Your best defence of the racist, criminal, pedophile is that he’s trolling the haters? That’s what you think a president should be spending time on? Lake Ontario was named by the indigenous people here and is where the province got its name. Cheeto man doesn’t get to look at a map and colour in whatever he wants and make the world follow it.

It's funny that none of you actually addressed or rebuked what he said. Yes, he's trolling, it's obvious to everyone why he did it. Why do you think it's a defence? If anything, the comment calls out Trump for not doing it for patriotic reasons.
But you dare to disagree with the hive mind, and you immediately get downvotes. Reddit is so silly.
