The most accurate thing about this is the liberal allowing the fascist to get on its back in the first place.
Because, you know, it would just be SO RUDE not to.
Or rather, they really hope the scorpion isn't lying yet again.
I always dislike this story because of the biological essentialism it implies and that allows racists and sexists to use it.
Do you also dislike stories with talking animals because animals can't talk?
It's a parable, and you seem to be taking it too literally and simultaneously not literally enough.
On the one hand, it's saying not to trust people who want to hurt you even if your interests are aligned. The soviets trusting the Nazis not to attack them just because they both gained by dividing eastern Europe and not fighting a war on multiple fronts. No amount of shared interest will keep a fascist from hating a communist.
On the other hand, you actually really shouldn't put scorpions on your back. It's actually fine to reduce the agency of an insect to a stereotype of their biology.
Not shown on the shore: hundreds of other frogs watching with full confidence that any scorpion they give a ride across the pond won't sting THEM.
"lol", said the Scorpion, "lmao"
But you know in this story, the frog was actually taking the scorpion to safety, not waging wars and funding a genocide. Maybe next time if there is no bureaucracy in the party, and you see Mamdani against Trump , you'll see actual support from the left.
lol "Just one more purity test bro, then I promise I won't support the fascist"
What's really baffling is that even the fascist is doing a better job in the context of wars. And if I'm not wrong, those lefties targeted in the meme are just choosing not to participate in the vote, not to support some one. Forcing someone to choose least of two evils might just not be liberty.
People with no standards really hate people with standards.
I was literally going to reply to this pointing out that "protest voters" fit better as the scorpion than MAGA people. The MAGA people didn't know that Trump was an objective disaster. They just thought he would make a disaster for their enemies and leave them alone. The "I'm too left for Kamala" people did know, and they still decided Trump wasn't worth resisting, because they wanted to make their point. Or, as the scorpion said, it's in their nature, and they just felt really strongly that that's what they wanted to do.
And hey, now we're sinking! Thanks. Great.
now we’re sinking!
Always have been.
The “I’m too left for Kamala” people did know, and they still decided Trump wasn’t worth resisting...
Citation needed. I saw them actually resisting, unlike the liberals who paved the way for Trump's facism. But they claimed it was OK this time, but cause it was the "good guys" doing it.
Why would it be mamdani vs Trump? I get the whole trump 3rd term idea and breaking the law to install a dictator but why would the Dems run Mamdani? As a Uganda born individual, he's not eligible to be president.
just an example 😅
Can't wait to laugh my ass off when washington DC is split into east and west.
North and South? Mason-Dixon line pt. 2?
East and west
"Are you triggered yet, lib?"
dude... I'm the one who can swim for few minutes, you cannot..
"Don't care, all I care about is triggering the libs. Is that triggering you? HAH! Triggeblub blub blub"
based on a true story
Trump himself used a similar story about a snake in his own speeches. He was telling us who he is.
This is perfect
Bold characterizing Trumptards as something fierce like a scorpion. I guess they are predators though....
Early 20th century Italian fascists had a popular slogan "Me ne frego", meaning "I don't care".
People don't really change.
Hmmmmm
