Like many Americans, Carolina Giuliani was paralyzed over the prospect that Donald Trump — the man she blames for ruining her father and damaging her family — could be close to returning to the White House.

“It’s a hard phenomenon to understand. It definitely is,” Carolina Giuliani said. “I view Trump as a disease, and I think it’s really important to remember that with every disease, prevention is a much more effective strategy than treatment. ... I thought we had cured ourselves of it the first time, but it doesn’t seem like we have.

“And I think if he becomes the president again, we may have a terminal illness in our country. And that really, really scares me.”

its not a fuckin disease.

You can catch a disease through no fault of your own.

These MAGA fucktards willfully disregard common sense, and truth, and decency, and their own christian moral values, because service to the party and the orange lord is paramount.

everything about MAGA is willful and intentional.

These are not poor innocent victims, These are rampant, fascist pieces of shit, that finally felt comfortable enough to let their swastikas fly when they thought they had their chance at seizing glory and crushing the opposition that would are make them face repercussions for their abhorrence.

People trying to desperately shift blame away from them, and turn them into victims, is bullshit, and nothing but evidence of how well all these right wing pieces of shit managed to stay under the radar and mask themselves until they thought the time was right.

She means disease in the macro sense, like America is diseased. People are no different than they were any time before, just now they are being manipulated by their emotions and biases with profit-driven 24 hour news and social media.

There are plenty of people as described but there are also plenty of rubes going along with it. Plenty of peer pressure, plenty who fall for save the children shit who otherwise mean well.

I just had some blood work done a couple days ago and the nice woman and I talked about the aftermath of Helene. We talked about how horrible it was, how similar our geography was to the worst affected areas. She was genuinely upset and said if she made more money she'd be donating to the victims. I brought up that FEMA said that Helene has fucked their budget up. She told me that it would have been fine if they hadn't spent all that money on those immigrants.

I may think this person is stupid, but I don't believe she is malicious.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then you would be a fool.

Cause shes just as malicious as the rest of them, If she wasnt she wouldnt be spouting that fucking racist nonsense.

You are just fooled by a cute face and little charade personality she puts on until she let her mask slip.

Believe me there was no cute face involved but mine. And it's more chiseled handsome than cute anyway.

She definitely changed the subject as soon as I said neutrally that most immigrants are here legally.
