When I see a comment like this I just imagine you as a hillbilly saying the same shit as a republican if the tables were turned. It's just as cringe.
I am a hillbilly republican, just one who thinks that LGBTQ+ people should be allowed to exist, that America should be a land of opportunity for everyone, and that the rich should pay taxes. Which in this world makes me a pretty far left Democrat.
The real cringe thing is seeing yourself as an ivory tower elite, above all the people fighting for their rights, casting judgment on the riffraff below you for quoting JFK.
When I see a comment like this I downvote it
When I post on lemmy I expect it
"Even I know I've got bad takes on current events."
It's actually: "I know what to expect from the average lemmy user."
Yes, I believe that is what I paraphrased from your last comment.
It's not paraphrasing if you're changing the meaning of what is being said.
Correct.
