Lemmy Tankies seem to think: “The Confederates are bad but the USA isn’t perfect, so we should let the Confederacy win!”

    Is there an example of someone actually thinking this way?

    It’s a joke. Building off the meme. And example would be the entire 2024 election cycle, where the tankies essentially preached trump / MAGA is bad but Harris isn’t perfect, so I won’t vote for Harris - thus letting trump win.

    Are you sure the reason "tankies" didn't vote for Harris wasn't her promise to keep supporting genocide in Gaza?

    Beside, how is that situation comparable to the meme, in which "tankies" are charged with supporting the confederacy whole heartedly.

    My original comment was disagreeing with the meme.

    Did letting trump win (by refusing to vote for Harris) stop the genocide in Gaza? Did trump not also promise to keep supporting genocide in Gaza? Now we have genocide there, and ethnic cleansing in the USA, plus several more atrocities on top of that. None of which would have happened if Harris won.

    Which President would have been easier to convince to turn away from Israel ( assuming it were a possibility)?

    Your original comment says "tankies" think the Confederacy should've won.

    I don't see how any of the things you're saying about the Trump presidency are relevant. If the so called "tankies" didn't vote for Trump then they're not responsible for what he's doing. Take it up with the people who actually voted for Trump.
