As someone new here, and not on the left, this is the most interesting/healthy discussion I’ve seen on Lemmy so far. Thanks!

Or embarrassed by her obesity, knowing her fat ass could never fit in a Miata, right?

Phew the left can’t meme 🤣

Same. Only been here a few days. yeah, my comments will get downloaded to hell, but so far the responses are somewhat civil. It’s a step up from what im used to! I also like how very downvoted comments arent automatically buried.

A common misunderstanding. Boats (made of rock) float due to gravity pushing the water up (as it bounces off the earth). Boats made of feathers (ducks) harness the same principle, as they are also filled with water.

if that’s the case, if he’s just an idiot puppet, why spend energy attacking him and his character specifically? It doesn’t persuade anyone on the right, and it doesn’t help the left focus on the people pulling the strings.

The news, and left leaning communities online, have told me every day for 8+ years that trump is stupid, etc. What’s the point?

But… right-side-up, the plane fights gravity, has upward lift, according to Bernoulli principle. And even if we angle the flaps to decrease altitude, it’s still not dropping like a rock, the wings still generate lots of upward lift.

400 ton plane, wings w 400 ton lift = flight

Now (before engaging flaps) those same wings upside down would be generating downward “lift” PLUS pull of gravity. So now the 400 ton plane is like an 800 ton plane. Can the flaps alone lift that? Or, said another way, if we gave the plane flat wings, no Bernoulli, and stacked another plane on top of it (to make 800 tons), could it fly right-side-up just using flaps?

The worst take from his opposition: “trumps such a dumb idiot”. And it’s why the left gets out-maneuvered; they imagine those on the right as only either 1. Imbeciles 2. Racists.

The right sees the left as cunning, and strategizes how to outplay them.

The left sees the right as backwards morons, and strategizes how to insult them. It seems to be the main play, and is doing him a favor by shutting down closer examination.

You know they have “settings”, right?

But then how can they fly upside down?

Somehow the article (and your summary) leave out the actual complain.

ABC news: “She is accused of making “forcible contact” with authorities, including allegedly slamming her forearm into a Homeland Security Investigations agent and pushing and using “each of her forearms to forcibly strike” an ICE officer, according to the complaint”.

It’s funny cuz people actually think this way, and don’t realize what a self-own it is.
