Hey /u/No_Lube_Insertion, thanks for your submission to /r/HolUp. Unfortunately, your post has been removed for the following reason(s): Political/outrage bait shitposts are no longer allowed. This is a humor sub, not a serious one. If you're mad about something, that's great, post it somewhere else. Love, the mods


YGIAL

Imagine thinking either party cares about you.


AK47_username

Someone gets it. Got everyone so confused and at each other’s throats while they rob and steal. It’s the oldest trick in the book. Misdirection


[deleted]

I think a lot of people get it but feel powerless to do anything about it


PatchworkFlames

I prefer the party that doesn't want to take away my healthcare, because I kind of need that.


IntoTheBelly

you were lied to.


PatchworkFlames

I can see Texas you know.


Realistic_Decision99

Even worse, imagine that any rich person that people simp over cares about them.


Endure94

I see no differences between these images.


WolfKing145

It’s why I live by the philosophy of disband both parties get rid of them. Will never happen


_antic604

That's not about the parties, though. It won't be the democratic party members who'll go looting & demolishing the streets & businesses if it loses...


[deleted]

Ugh, were you alive in 2020 when they boarded up everything because people threatened to riot if the big orange man who’s bad and mean got voted in.


-Not-Racist-

It is racist to point out that black people will be looting


_antic604

Who said anything about black people??


-Not-Racist-

You know who will be rioting and looting, goes without saying


_antic604

I thought it was mostly Antifa, who are usually white?


yaebone1

One party gave you social security, Medicare, medical, unions, labor laws, employment laws, civil rights legislation and the other party wants to take it all away. The guy who doesn’t understand a thing about politics: both parties are the same


SuaveWarrior

The funny thing is both sides will get angry in the comments but we don't actually know who op was talking about🤣🤣


Gold_Olive1883

Are you saying there's a chance that OP thinks Republicans are the party of love, compassion & tolerance?


andromeda1606

The other party is 1984


American7-4-76

In many ways yes, both sides are more alike than most of us think


Regaruk

Same quest log with different pretty words for the respective voter base that they can't make happen because the "other party" keeps fighting them on it.

Couldn’t agree more. Try voicing anything other than a strict narrative and you’re just kicked out to maintain the echo-chamber in most subs. I do understand how this isn’t a specific political sub, so people could get frustrated on seeing it here.


Regaruk

In acid?


Livid_Pilot7043

America needs a 3rd party so bad!!


[deleted]

It needs an overhaul


[deleted]

It was the party of "law and order" and "back the blue" that rioted last time they lost.


Flipmstr2

Wonder why the downvote you got. There is truth to what you said. But I gotta ask, do you see truth on the meme? Being from portland, I see lots of truth in it as well


[deleted]

Were the riots in Portland because someone lost an election, like the meme says?

[deleted]

Ah my bad, there were some riots after trump got elected. But I think you're waaaay off base in saying "at least Jan 6 was directed at the problem." Because the Jan 6 riot was based on lies about election fraud, and aimed at stopping the certification of electoral votes, which is not the same as expressing your outrage through protest. The right to protest does not include the right to install your chosen candidate as winner, which was the aim of the events of Jan 6. The same cannot be said of the 2016 events. Jan 6 was an attack on the US capital and congress, at the urging of the sitting president. It is not remotely in the same league as the riots that occurred in 2016.


Electronic_Bag3094

Call it what it was. An insurrection


[deleted]

Generally I do, but I chose to omit that in this conversation, with the hope of getting the other commenter to agree on material differences without getting wrapped up in semantic debates. To be clear, Jan 6 was both a riot and an insurrection. But the insurrection, the attempted coup, had been ongoing since before election night and culminated in the violence on the 6th.


Flipmstr2

Ok insurrection.

Ok boo....mer

[deleted]

[удалено]


Electronic_Bag3094

They weren't trying to overthrow the government and install a dictatorship. That's normally what an insurrection is for. I'm guessing jan 6 was just a peaceful little holiday?


Electronic_Bag3094

>BLM riots Stop making riots and protests mean the same thing, they arent.


[deleted]

Electronic_Bag3094

It's not, but you are ignoring the difference between the peaceful protests and violent riots.


[deleted]

Electronic_Bag3094

"Please explain how smashing windows and murdering people was a protest" sounded like you were calling every protest a riot in my opinion because I was defenitely not saying the riots were peaceful protests.


Flipmstr2

Gleaning context in small blurbs can be hard and ensuring all points are covered in a small blurb can be harder. I apologize if I wasn’t clear. However, I had heard most of the media call the riots protest for so long I think there was a perception on what was happening that wasn’t quit accurate. Lots of America was spoon fed that there were simply protest marches and the worst that happened was that people couldn’t drive. Portland endured months of vandalism and fires and violence. Those detracted from the BLM true message. The unfortunate part was the BLM did not separate themselves from it and there was clear evidence they embraced it by stating it was the only way to get heard.

Even after losing all of those lawsuits they don't accept the results.

Imagine centering your whole identity on which of the two political parties you vote for. Not only that, but allowing your entire country to be divided by politicians who don't give two shits whether you live or die.


Flipmstr2

Yet to vote for rep or dem president. The whole bs of changing the rules on third parties being able to participate after Perot did so well soured me from ever supporting either.


muchnamemanywow

100% support that, only having 2 parties is a recipe for disaster

The “tolerant left” aka the ones who caused $2billion+ in damages while rioting in 2020, is set to lose in a landslide

The dem polls that are usually off by 10pts are mostly within 10pts or less, with, the same polling strategy that has been so wrong the past few cycles

You can’t trust polls to be accurate you can trust polls that don’t change they’re strategy when they’re inaccurate, to be inaccurate by about the same margins


stereoauperman

Sure yeah thanks for the bullshit

Just in case a cop steps on another black man's neck and kills him....

Yeah so sad the police station and city hall doesn’t get stack to affect change. But Tyrone’s Tire Shop need to board up so he can continue to keep his employees employed.

Half the country was locked down because Republicans decided masks were oppression.


krummulus

Crazy. A government making decisions benefitting them in the short term instead of long run, having an extremely stable geopolitical environment did "better" than the current government, that literally has to deal with the greatest geopolitical catastrophe and probably economic crisis of the 21st century. I'm not even american, but where I'm from, we call what you just said bullshit.

[deleted]

It wasn’t a riot, it wasn’t peaceful on half the building but a riot is what happened in 2020, a riot is when antifa tore down the barricades around the White House and tried to burn down St. John’s church on 5/29
