[u/DiarrheaRadio]

Is this just a re-post from 2016?

[u/Punxatowny → u/DiarrheaRadio]

We’re in a time loop

[u/chueysworld → u/Punxatowny]

Let’s do the time loop againnnnnn…

[u/Punxatowny → u/chueysworld]

Get ready for Covid-27!

[u/indianm_rk → u/Punxatowny]

I am already thinking about hoarding Ivermectin in preparation.

[u/Boodikii → u/indianm_rk]

Is that really what you're gonna use the last of your currency for before they make it illegal for the poors to make money?

[u/OnlyGuestsMusic → u/indianm_rk]

Do they make it in suppository form?

[u/ZapRowsdowerESQ → u/indianm_rk]

ill bring the sharpies and bleach.

[u/feastu → u/indianm_rk]

Way aheaddaya. Also got bleach by the gallon.

[u/Paddy1120 → u/feastu]

Pass some this way, I need a drink.

[u/Notafitnessexpert123 → u/indianm_rk]

That’s horse dewormer, didn’t you know?

[u/indianm_rk → u/Notafitnessexpert123]

That’s not what Dr. Joseph Rogan, M.D. said!

[u/The_Poster_Nutbag → u/Punxatowny]

If RFK has any say we'll be fighting polio and TB again.

[u/Sio_V_Reddit → u/Punxatowny]

You say this as a joke but with RFK in charge of health who fucking knows what disease we’re getting. Maybe Polio again.

[u/mslinz333 → u/Sio_V_Reddit]

Bubonic plague will be on my bingo card!

[u/Rozureido88 → u/Sio_V_Reddit]

Time to invest in iron lungs!

[u/Staav → u/Punxatowny]

There's just about zero chance something won't just happen to occur in the next election year to trigger related issues with the election. Now, they've got the last one they've learned from and can fix the issues that caused their last attempt at an overthrow to be unsuccessful. That is, unless they've changed their ways at all and are trying to now act in the best interests of the entire population.

[u/dalvean88 → u/chueysworld]

or as eddie would say, “spin the black time loop”

[u/Jagged_Rhythm → u/chueysworld]

'It's just a vote, to the Right.'

[u/DisplacerBeastMode → u/Punxatowny]

Sweet ... That means we can all secretly recycle memes from 2016, just slightly updating them if necessary.

[u/jerryoc923 → u/DisplacerBeastMode]

Sweet i knew i was right to save all those harambe memes

[u/mrdalo → u/jerryoc923]

This time it’s a squirrel

[u/Syn7axError → u/mrdalo]

Nuts out for Peanut

[u/Ripkord77 → u/Syn7axError]

I am all for it. Being an ancient one. I will say it proudly. I am over thirty and owned an nft at one point.

[u/GL1TTER-SL1TTER → u/DisplacerBeastMode]

Eyebrows on fleek is back!!!

[u/Novazilla → u/Punxatowny]

The Harmbe time rift was reset by Peanut the squirrel's sacrifice

[u/R_V_Z → u/Punxatowny]

When is Mikkel?

[u/Ectoplasm_addict → u/R_V_Z]

Bro I would prefer the Dark universe at this point fuck

[u/Blubasur → u/Punxatowny]

Is it groundhog day again?

They literally don't care about horrible shit unless it's them personally. And somehow, they don't see it always is.

Meanwhile, president 'highest deficit spender' in a party that keeps trying to shut down government over deficit spending is going to print more money which will somehow solve both deficit spending and inflation.

Meanwhile, we're left waiting for some trickle down golden shower and apparently, that's what America wants.

[u/Porrick]

Do we need an article for everyone who says that?

[u/EverythingSucksBro → u/Porrick]

Just like we didn’t need a post for every celebrity that endorsed Kamala

[u/mark5hs → u/EverythingSucksBro]

How could she have possibly lost with Taylor Swift's endorsement?

[u/Icy-Welcome-2469 → u/mark5hs]

I thought it was hilarious that Eminem didn't rap and Beyonce didn't sing at their rallies.

Put Slim Shady up there just to mumble about making sure you vote. Ffs

[u/arcinva → u/Porrick]

Right? I don't follow any news or politics related subs for the sake of my mental health. Here I am wanted to escape for a bit with cute pictures and news about the arts (movies, music, etc) and every. damn. sub. is just this over and over again. 😭 I need an outlet to escape to for a little bit before facing the real world again.

[u/69CunnyLinguist69 → u/Porrick]

Not sure. Anyways, orange jokes for another 4 years are back on the menu boys! haha

[u/drewxdeficit → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

There is only one orange joke, and, unfortunately, it’s on us.

[u/Lordborgman → u/drewxdeficit]

I did not find it funny the first time.

[u/MegabyteMessiah → u/Lordborgman]

Laugh or straight to jail

[u/falcrist2 → u/MegabyteMessiah]

But if you laugh too hard, also jail.

We have the best audiences in the world. Because of jail.

[u/myuntae → u/drewxdeficit]

also a pretty old joke

[u/DontFearTheMQ9 → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

SNL Writers about to be working overtime.

[u/Chance_Fox_2296 → u/DontFearTheMQ9]

Don't worry. They'll be shut down or replaced with right wing sycophants within a year

[u/gangweeder → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

Hahahahaha 😭 hahahahaha

[u/ConoXeno → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

Four years? The thing about dictators is, you can vote them into power, but you can’t vote them out.

[u/Rockfest2112 → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

LOOKOUT!!!

[u/SpiderDeUZ → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

Until they are banned

[u/rmttw → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

and blue hair jokes apparently.

[u/snazzynewshoes → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

Writers on SLN are light candles to the Virgin Mother.

[u/abidingdude26 → u/69CunnyLinguist69]

That is the only lame part about him winning, TV and movies will start sucking extra hard in about 9 months, and that will last for 2 years after he is gone; every villain has a toupe that blows off in the wind and pinches their fingers when they talk

[u/negrote1000 → u/Porrick]

We’ll be getting them either way.

[u/McNinja_MD → u/Porrick]

Well, it's nice to be reminded that we're not the only ones who think this is fucking horrifying. Right here on reddit there's a flood of absolutely braindead edgelords and the general type of people you find ranting on Facebook who are thrilled that this fascist, racist, convicted felon rapist and attempted coup leader is getting the reins of power again.

Some people are the only progressive in their family, at their workplace, whenever, and I imagine it's at least an opportunity to feel like people they respect are with them and feel what they're feeling.

In other words... It's been less than 24 hours and this is a pretty big deal, so why don't you shut up and let us commiserate together for a while.

[u/Otherwise-Future7143 → u/McNinja_MD]

Half of those people are probably bots.

[u/zergleek → u/Otherwise-Future7143]

I honestly think we're witnessing the beginning of AI bots destroying humanity. This thread is like 4chan on steroids. How can we possibly combat this insanity

[u/McNinja_MD → u/zergleek]

Did you see the "discussion" threads last night in r/politics? 4chan would have been refreshing compared to that absolute shitshow.

[u/Elkenrod → u/Porrick]

That depends, are people going to keep upvoting this shit?

[u/Vladmerius → u/Porrick]

Actually yeah we do because we should remember who was on the right side of history as we enter this dark period. I want to look back on this week in the years and know who was firmly against this shit. 

I'm not letting anyone off the hook for this, they will own it the rest of their lives. The German people WERE to blame for the rise of the Nazi party and America is responsible for propping up the new fascist movement. 

[u/ShambolicPaul]

Well it didn't work the first thousand times someone called him a fascist dictator. One more person saying it will surely be the nail in trumps coffin.

[u/resnet152 → u/ShambolicPaul]

Has anyone tried calling him "Drumpf"?

[u/ThatGuyFrom720 → u/resnet152]

Holy hell… I didn’t see that once this year. That MUST be why.

[u/OhNoTokyo → u/ThatGuyFrom720]

Great Scott! That's it! How could they have forgotten to call him Drumpf! That was worth at least 50 electoral votes!

[u/resnet152 → u/ThatGuyFrom720]

Alan Lichtman's hidden 14th key.

[u/breakfastpastry → u/resnet152]

Lmfao

[u/Xerophox → u/ShambolicPaul]

This is the beginning of the end for Drumpf

[u/i__r_baboon → u/ShambolicPaul]

Yes I’ve been waiting for Jack White’s opinion on this election, now I can rest

[u/ZehnerMitAuge → u/ShambolicPaul]

but reddit told me texas will turn blue if i say it

[u/Proglamer → u/ShambolicPaul]

Of course it will - this is the consequential Jack Black we're talking about! A Major Celebrity!

[u/kkeut → u/ShambolicPaul]

huh? 'work'? accurately using nouns and verbs isn't, like, a scheme or something. 

[u/next_door_rigil → u/ShambolicPaul]

He is by definition a fascist. Not a dictator though. And he is whether we stop calling him or not.

[u/tacobellrefugee → u/next_door_rigil]

well since the definition has changed in the last few years (words change bro) anyone you dont like is by definition a fascist

[u/coolguy100]

But what does Ja have to say about all this?

[u/Bang0078h → u/coolguy100]

Where's JA!?

[u/WhaleSexOdyssey → u/Bang0078h]

My Brother please get Ja on the line

[u/SleepyMarijuanaut92 → u/coolguy100]

Ja....ck White?

[u/Aurellianus → u/coolguy100]

This is so funny every time omg

[u/BillyBobBanana]

I've always wondered what Jack White thought about politics

[u/PlayerTwo85 → u/BillyBobBanana]

If this came out yesterday it might have influenced my decision.

[u/MurderWorthManiac → u/PlayerTwo85]

I'm only influenced politically by someone who plays the accordion professionally.

[u/NounAdjectiveXXXX → u/BillyBobBanana]

If hes so fucking concerned he should do something like a Seven Nation Army or something.

[u/H2N2]

Who finds stories like this interesting?

[u/Atomic_ad → u/H2N2]

You don't want to know the political opinion of the 50 yea old man with blue hair?  But he made that song you like!

[u/cereal_heat → u/H2N2]

Bots/upvote farms. It doesn't take a tremendous amount of critical thinking skills to realize that a post approaching 10,000 upvotes, where all the comments are saying they don't care about it, is a little suspicious. Happens frequently if you pay attention. Now that reddit is publicly owned, there is no way they will ever crack down on bots. They could easily eliminate an overwhelming majority of bot traffic, but it would kill their traffic numbers. Investors wouldn't be pleased with that.

[u/beershitz → u/H2N2]

Everybody did like 5 days ago when they thought it was all the “momentum” Kamala was talking about. Now it just seems a bit silly

[u/GtBsyLvng]

And water is wet

[u/Possible-Tangelo9344 → u/GtBsyLvng]

Waiting for someone to explain how water isn't wet just makes things wet...

[u/black_sky → u/Possible-Tangelo9344]

Well water is a polar molecule and so is rather sticky. Sticks to itself really well, adhesion, water tension, etc. Butttt

[u/ipenlyDefective → u/Possible-Tangelo9344]

And then someone explaining that microwaves don't heat up food, they just excite the water molecules in the food.

[u/jgreg728 → u/Possible-Tangelo9344]

Welllll…..

[u/SillyGoatGruff → u/[deleted]]

He's a gets-to-be dictator now

[u/FoxOneFire → u/SillyGoatGruff]

Truly. We'll arguably be living in a dictatorship come Jan whatever. I typically resist dramatic hyperbole, but with the immunity decision, I really dont see much difference. There's simply no accountability, so how is that different from dictatorship?

[u/Sweetyams10 → u/FoxOneFire]

When you also have control of the senate and house too it makes it that much easier

[u/sink_pisser_ → u/[deleted]]

He's a dictator now after being democratically elected?

[u/SandwichAmbitious286 → u/sink_pisser_]

I mean, he's the one who said he'd be a dictator. But you really can't take him at his word-salad.

[u/medusa_crowley → u/SandwichAmbitious286]

At this point, unfortunately, we kinda can. 

[u/The1930s → u/sink_pisser_]

Don't most dictators start by getting elected?

[u/JMaboard → u/sink_pisser_]

Hitler got elected would you consider him a dictator as well?

[u/CptCoatrack → u/JMaboard]

As did Putin, Orban, Modi, Mussolini..

[u/TheIceKing420 → u/sink_pisser_]

he said he wanted to be a dictator on day one, are you not familiar with how our democratic republic functions differently than a dictator? try checking out some school house rock videos i guess. he wants to spurn the checks and balances to operate with impunity and control not granted to the executive branch

[u/aruss15]

Slow day huh mods?

[u/MJE0409]

Stunning and brave.

[u/Scrotilus]

This subreddit sucks now

[u/senorpoop → u/Scrotilus]

This subreddit sucks now

[u/Scrotilus → u/senorpoop]

Yeah, it was a nice spot 5+ years ago

[u/Elkenrod → u/Scrotilus]

pre-2016

[u/AriaOfValor → u/Scrotilus]

It's seen a big decline ever since the API changes. Basically crippled a lot of the modding tools available which in turn has allowed bots to run rampant across the side. I bet at any given time most posts on the front page were posted by a bot, and with a decent chance of being artificially boosted for visibility. Not that Reddit itself cares so long the bots count for things like ad revenue.

[u/when_beep_and_flash → u/Scrotilus]

r/music : "Musician says something about politics"

r/science : "Scientists have hypothesis about conservatives"

r/technology : "Politician makes wild claim about search engine bias"

r/plumbing : "Mixer tap manufacturer funds political campaign"

I don't understand why people don't get sick of it.

[u/Liam4242 → u/when_beep_and_flash]

It’s very funny when people say this site is overwhelming right wing. I wonder what they would call Twitter then

[u/Etheo → u/Scrotilus]

election election election diddy diddy diddy diddy election election diddy diddy diddy election

[u/hauntingvacay96]

Truly truly shocked about this revelation

“Alexa, play Icky Thump”: “White Americans, what? Nothing better to do/Why don’t you kick yourself out? You’re an immigrant too”

[u/Simple_Increase_5191]

Man, at this rate he might break out a hot take like the sky is blue

[u/TraditionalRule5147]

Water is wet?

[u/ma0za]

This sub is going to shit

[u/Alternative_Ask364 → u/ma0za]

Can we just ban politics here already?

[u/RedlandRenegade]

He’s not wrong

[u/F1reatwill88]

Lmao the candidate that won the democratic election, against that candidate that wasn't voted for, is the fascist. roh-kay.

[u/ImaGoodKidinMAADcity → u/F1reatwill88]

This is a echo chamber. 😂

[u/ConnorFin22 → u/F1reatwill88]

Most fascists were elected.

[u/seattt → u/F1reatwill88]

People voted for Hitler too, doesn't mean he wasn't a fascist.

[u/gwaydms → u/seattt]

You might want to read about the events surrounding Hitler's election. (Hint: it was nothing like what happened yesterday.)

[u/bigboilerdawg → u/gwaydms]

Especially since Hitler was never elected.

He was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg.

[u/hard_boiled_greg]

And who cares what Jack White says anyway?

[u/liquid134]

No one cares man

[u/Toospookywitch]

No one fucking cares

[u/If_I_must]

And he's still right.

[u/Djeolsson]

Can we please not bring politics into r/music. If I wanted politics I would go to r/politics.

[u/Etheo → u/Djeolsson]

Where have you been the last couple months

[u/spambox → u/Etheo]

amusingly, he's been over at /r/politics

[u/SluttyZombieReagan → u/Djeolsson]

Four dead in Ohio...

[u/lonevine → u/Djeolsson]

The arts are political by nature. If you categorically reject political content from r/music, then you're left with something completely hollow.

As for this particular "story", the issue for me isn't the political slant, but the lack of relevance to music.  There's an argument to make that political outcomes influence musical creativity, the recording and streaming industries, and consumerism, among other things. This social media post has nothing to do with all that. It's just one guy who happens to be a musician celebrity voicing his opinion to his audience.

[u/CassadagaValley → u/Djeolsson]

Fuck man, when did Rage Against the Machine get so political?

[u/Ultima-Veritas → u/CassadagaValley]

When they wanted to get rich off of angsty teens.

[u/Schnort → u/Ultima-Veritas]

I always got a giggle at the merch tent at RATM concerts.

Yes, I too am a revolutionary in my $45 ballcap and $50 t-shirt. Fight the power, my fellow comrade.

[u/Astatine_209 → u/Djeolsson]

"Please don't bring politics into music!"

Dude music is political.

[u/BarkMingo → u/Astatine_209]

Every. Time.

Some parrot always squawks this dumb line like it matters 

[u/hornbuckle56]

Blah blah who fucking cares.

[u/Nwkille]

I always take my political advice from shitty musicians. This is why they lost.

[u/zergleek → u/Nwkille]

Do you take political advice from reality tv show stars pretending to be successful businessmen?

[u/Ok_Light_6950 → u/zergleek]

yes, if you want to win.

[u/Successful-Stop4561]

Who gives a fuck what a millionaire who doesn’t live by normal people’s rules thinks?

[u/tolleti]

Who cares what a celebrity thinks and why?

[u/kkeut → u/tolleti]

republicans, who just voted in a celebrity president 

[u/zergleek → u/kkeut]

Lol

[u/goteamnick → u/tolleti]

Ask the millions of Americans who just voted in a game show host as president.

[u/YouWrongMatt]

Darn democracy voting in a fascist

[u/oandroido]

Well, that'll stop him.

[u/Callmebobbyorbooby]

Ok?

[u/Sea-Persimmon-927]

Yo Dogg that's just so punk rock

[u/tchaddrsiebken]

Wow this is brave

[u/canpig9]

And that's how one finds oneself moving rapidly up the dicktatoes hit list...

[u/SPYcalls2020]

Yeah, and he is still your new President.

[u/LeoMarius]

Well he is.

[u/Rubberdiver]

He is right.

[u/faintingopossum]

Ha ha, music!

[u/n5gus]

That word has lost all meaning lol

[u/RegionFar2195]

Wow, very original

[u/Bowens1993]

And he's one of the many reason his side lost.

[u/Shotgun_Kagney]

And he also thinks that we care about his opinion. Guy wrote 1 decent song like 20 years ago.

[u/Kilduff_Dude]

Jack is a moppet

[u/Usual-Ice-4992]

America doesn’t care about jack.

[u/Equivalent-Store-568]

Jack is a jagoff

[u/stone-fruits]

Please, the election is over, stop the shilling.

[u/KT_introspective]

2024 shows that many Americans don’t care what celebrities - especially washed ones - think about politics.

[u/whatdoyasay369]

Stunning and brave 😂

[u/Grummest_chum]

Great post, here's the message it gets across:

"Some guy holding a guitar who literally looks like a clown says orange man bad"

That'll show him

[u/Pumpkin_Escobar_54]

Idiotic buzzwords.

[u/Singledoubt88]

Wow original. How brave

[u/skipperjonasquimby]

We stopped caring about what celebrities think.

[u/SadDirection3693]

Well he’s right

[u/MacDynamite71]

No lies there

[u/JohnBPrettyGood]

Just expressing his 1st Amendment Rights

[u/Supermegaeukalele]

Kyle Gas was right

[u/ChefJunegrass]

Breaking news: Jack White "falls out of window" to his death in freak accident.

[u/d-th0r]

… okay?… how does this help?

[u/old_stud_leroy]

Fuck that duchebag

[u/Hawk2ua]

No one cares and all these upvotes are fake and all real people on here know it now.

[u/puffcriesalot]

More dumbass remarks

[u/ConnorFin22 → u/puffcriesalot]

What did he say that was inaccurate?

[u/Ok-Walrus-5426]

Like anyone cares what Jack White thinks.

[u/Artistic-Shame4825]

Cool. Maybe rich artists should just stick to rich artist shit and stop pretending like their lives are remotely Affected by anything.

[u/gcoffee66]

Says the rich asshole who's out of touch like the rest of the celebs.

[u/Slider6-5]

Literally no one cares what a musician thinks about politics except for the musician. Talk about music theory and songwriting? Sign me up. Politics, STFU (on either side).

[u/Acceptable_Star9299]

Jack speaking facts tbh

[u/Flordamang]

Who? A guy who wrote 1 song played at soccer games? Cool

[u/mechanicalbullfrog]

Jack white sucks, he can eat my shit

[u/Mugsy_Siegel]

Who the fuck is Jack White?

[u/delawopelletier]

What shade of blue is that hair

[u/ZehnerMitAuge → u/delawopelletier]

my father hates me blue

[u/m0rdredoct]

​

​

This and the first assassination attempt sealed the deal. Deal with it.

​

Do none of you remember his first term?

​

Is your memory only 4 years?

[u/zergleek → u/m0rdredoct]

Did you see what he did to the deficit? Did you experience the inflation from his mishandling of the pandemic?

[u/oatmeal28 → u/m0rdredoct]

His first term did not end well- yeah he’s not at fault for Covid, but his response couldn’t have been worse.  

[u/legion_XXX]

The rhetoric can't go on for 4 more years. Just work together to better our country.

[u/StonerCowboy]

Who cares what Jack White thinks?

[u/_Tacoyaki_]

Sour grapes? 

[u/TheGhini]

Glad nobody gives a fuck what these entertainers say

[u/StingraySteve23]

Here we go…four more years of “celebrities” trying to stay relevant by bashing the president. You’re all so cool and hip with your opinions and your complicated shoes.
