John Schneider (Dukes of Hazard, Smallville) calls for Joe Biden to be executed - Lemmy.World

Bo Duke nooo, what happened to you?
He’s been MAGAted?
It’s a damn shame. He played such a convincing “reasonable guy” in smallville.
Boomer Duke now.
How does this make him a boomer?
He is literally a boomer.
He was born in 1960. Boomer years are typically considered to be between 1946 and 1964. Ergo Boomer.

Because apparently Millineals and Gen Z have no idea that a huge chunk of the MAGA movement is coming from their own generation.

They see a baby boomer spouting MAGA and immediately make the leap that he’s MAGA because of his age, not because he’s an idiot who has always been an idiot.

The protestors who marched for civil rights in the 60s and were beaten by police and set on by attack dogs were Boomers.

Thw protectors who marched against Vietnam and who Nixon hired actors to infiltrate and try to discredit were Boomers.

I’m not a boomer, but im old enough to know that any generation who thinks ‘when these old people die, then everything will finally be ok’ are going to be stunned when they find out there are evil people in every generation.

I hate that 60’s civil rights argument.

The people fighting for civil rights were a small minority, especially within the white population, and were almost universally hated. There is a stark difference in the way our generation and that generation viewed equality and civil rights.

It’s not an ‘argument’, it’s an example of how divisive branding entire groups is undermining us.

We need to work together now, everywhere, to enact change, not wait.

I used to believe that. The issue is that people legitimately don’t agree on what the solution is. And those solutions vary wildly, and many of them are actively more dangerous than our current precarious situation. I can’t march on the enemy next to someone who believes climate change is a lie spread by China, and they likely will have entirely different ideas of who the enemy actually is than I do, for instance.

The underlying point is not to March alongside someone who disagree with you, its that there are Boomers and Gen Xrs who agree with you and they’ve been waiting for enough young people to join them. It’s not just Bernie Sanders and no other Boomers. The same Gen X people who grew up on Public Enemy and Rage Against the Machine and still fight for the beliefs espoused in that music are here.

When I first became an atheist, only 9% of the US was ‘none’, meaning atheist, agnostic, or no religion. Now it’s 30%. I haven’t gone anywhere, just happily watching the world change and I know a lot of it those younger than I am.

No I get that, but I’m not going to pretend that there isn’t a stark difference of trends between boomers and millennials.

Nobody is suggesting that. The suggestions that we stop automatically assume someone believes something because they are a certain age. We should judge people on their beliefs alone. If someone is a Boomer racist, they are a racist who happens to be a Boomer and never grew as a person. If someone is Gen Z and a racist, they are not racist because they are Gen Z, they are just racist.

I know people in Gen X who claim to not understand ‘anything about computers’ and I’m clueless how that happened. We had computers in the 70s and video games in the 80s. We were labeled the ‘slacker generation’ because of our Apple computers and video games, and somehow there’s a wide swath of people who just made the decision to be ignorant by choice of all of that. Are Gen X people just computer illiterate? They certainly shouldn’t be, so if they are, it’s by choice. If someone is a Boomer and a racist, it’s by choice, not by age. There will absolutely be people in Gen Z who turn 40 years old a in a couple of decades and claim not to understand something that they have right now.

The lack of opportunity for developing generations, in relation to the older generations, is driving a localism/tribalism mentaliyy that often will correlate to, if not conflate, a racial identity.
We’re talking about a guy who got his big break driving around in a Dodge Charger with a big old rebel flag on it that’s called the General Lee and anyone’s surprised that he turned out to be a MAGA traitor?

I loved the show. I loved the car. I am so far removed from the MAGATs. I think they are complete fools and are being duped by the rich because they are gullible.

An actor can protray someone who is ignorant. This is a choice. A stupid choice by an ignorant person, but still a choice.

Better call the Sheriff. Meh, nevermind, he’ll get away in real life, too.
Let’s get Ja Rule on the horn.
I’m just going to throw this out there, I think Ja would have a better informed and more reasonable take on the situation than this guy.
He’s making his way, the only way he knows how! But that’s just a little bit more than the law will allow…
I always enjoy the nebulous “treason” accusation. At least when I call Donnie a traitor I have a concrete list of grievances instead of a dozen inferences and leaps in logic.

Yeah. Trump and his direct supporters engaged and were filmed engaging in actual insurrection. They made a gallows and had people with ziptie cuffs in masks roaming around the capital.

These asshats are just trying to water down the word because they know they fit the description too well.

They’re trying to water down the word so they can invoke the 14th Amendment against Democrats who hurt their feelings. Texas threatening to remove Biden from the ballots is only the beginning of that particular shitshow.

Someone from an instance you’re not federated with may have replied
Besides federation issues this happened to me when I deleted my comment and it was always shown as one more reply fold. But maybe on newer version this displays as a comment was deleted
" I have $100 for whoever knocks that loudmouth son of a bitch out."

“This man has got to face his maker and explain why he can’t say ‘Jesus Christ’ is my Lord and savior and I will run my country under his guidelines,” he said during a Newsmax interview at the time.

This line sent shivers down my spine. Fucking religious zealots.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

How about this for a reason?

Because they want to control people. Religion has always existed to control them he masses and the GOP is more desperate than ever before to maintain their control over their dwindling voters.

They want a dictatorship and religion is just another means for them to seize it.

"... my country ..."

That's what caught my eye.

Conservatives have always wanted the president to be their daddy and rule over them like their daddies did when they were kids.
a reason many of them are christians, too.

Certain conservative men will visit prostitutes, and claim to stand for family values, which is laughable but if you do good at mental gymnastics you could always say that you’re ready to change because you now believe in “insert conservative shit” here, or bad experiences etc.

But if you asked me, you’re better off believing that anarchy is the natural order and everything from government to the police force, including your own circumstances is based off a mix of luck, non compliance, misunderstandings and merit rather than any conservativism.

Just consider that even if you believe in “planned parenthood” technically a lot of accidents had to have happened for both Usain Bolt and for you to be born, nobody’s life was planned out when while you were being pushed out the end of your mothers pussy.

The scary part is that there’s arguably hundreds of mini accidental Usain Bolts which you’re competing with every day, even if you’re one of them that was planned

Conservatives are authoritarian always, many of them wouldn’t blink at reestablishing the monarchy, so long as a certain orange individual and his line of bastards were in power
Because the nutjobs see it as congress can't stop them from doing anything, not that congress also can't support them.
Also because biden is Catholic and the pope would probably be mad at him making a nuclear armed theocracy

Just to make it crystal clear, a Christian who is being inaugurated as President will swear a solemn oath, almost certainly with their hand on the Bible, to defend the Constitution.

Joe Biden, like every President before him, including Trump, swore a solemn oath not to do what John Schneider is insisting upon.

If a President elect believed what Schneider is suggesting, he would either be unable to take the oath of office, and thus could not ever be President, or he would swear to God that he was telling the truth when he was lying.

Agreed. John is clearly expressing himself in hyperbolic, perhaps he’s frustrated about something?

and I will run my country under his guidelines

He should just move to Iran.

So will the feds hound Schneider like they did Kathy Griffin?
Well kids, gather 'round and let me tell you about the before times. Back in my day the Secret Service would be on this guy like white on rice.
Yeah but he’s a white Christian male. Laws don’t apply to them.

You’re missing my point. Threats against the President of the United States used to be investigated. Every. One.

Hell, my gf wrote some shit about killing Reagan in her journal or essay or whatever. Forgot how it got out 35 years ago, don’t remember. USSS showed up to question a cute little white girl. A high school junior. From a very nice suburb.

Nobody got a pass on shit like that.

they still do. this guy didn’t say he intended to do anything though, which is a pretty big difference

What did you expect from the guy who drove this?

I used to think it was just a southern pride flag, but I’ve since learned the modern meaning of it. As someone who grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard, my dream car is now a bright orange 69 Charger with the American flag on it, dubbed the “General Sherman”.
And every year you’ll take a road trip in it from Atlanta to Savannah.
If Kathy Griffith got a visit, so should he.
Pa Kent, nooooo....
its always the ones you most suspect.
Conservatives sure do live their washed up b-list actors.
And their b list washed up gods

"Just here for the ratio and to let you know that it’s “hanged,” not “hung.”

I guess the guy is only commenting on the Biden bloodline carrying good genes for big dicks. Or he’s just a big dick himself.
