The real achievement is being endorsed by the taliban back in 2020
right, but who before trump got these kinds of endorsements?
Prior to Trump it was mostly fringe candidates like Storm Thurmund (1948), George Wallace (1968), David Duke (1988, 1992), Pat Buchanan (1992, 1996).
In terms of major candidates, there are some questionable endorsements for candidates like Nixon and Reagan. But you have to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson to find a president who was openly happy about receiving those endorsements.
So it indeed is not the dying breaths of reactionaries, but a growing group.
Which we will push back against.
Reagan was endorsed by notorious segregationist Strom Thurmond in 1976, who also endorsed Richard Nixon.
this is the kind of comment I am looking for.
Glad what you got what you were looking for, as opposed to a “dumbass bad faith take” 😂
Also, best of luck with your next candidate, @jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world, keyboard warrior.
Zionists are as bad as the KKK, so the last presidential candidate would be Kamala Harris just last month.
Who did Israel endorse?
Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris I think

Sorta like comparing basement nazis to burning villages nazis though. They’re both vile it is a question of effectiveness.
I suppose there’s a lesson about Dick having a certain level of principles. Not that I’d agree with them, but damn.
I think it is more a lesson in him finding more profit in a kamala presidency
I feel like there is a difference between voting for someone and voting against someone.
I don’t like how noted war criminal amd possible lizard person Dick Cheney endorsed Harris, but Cheney has never said, “I like what Harris is going to do”; instead, he tried to frame it as a vote against Trump because…well, it’s Trump.
And of course, right-wingers don’t have any capability for self-reflection, because the proper response to fucking Dick Cheney calling you evil is to look in the mirror and ask yourself some hard questions.
