Putting nice words in the mouth of the root of most Americans' problems seems kinda cringe.

5 (five) words...

Original quote was "nine" and "I'm with the government and I'm here to help."

Which is exactly the kind of thing you want to hear from the leader of the government.

Also, when the hell does anyone from the government show up to say that? If I need them to help me, I contact them. If they're contacting me, it's because they're helping someone else (employees, crime victims, the public).

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to say if your campaign and ideology hinges on you rooting out the corruption in government. It's a way of capturing the idea of the corruption that you want to fix.

Like all Republican messages in the last 60 years or so, it's bullshit, but there's nothing ironic about it.

tubaruco ,

thanks for clarifying. i did not know contractions counted as one word

name_NULL111653 ,

Yep. English is a very hard language (and I say this as a native speaker who, caring about proper grammar, still struggles with it).

    Right? I did switch to Matrix but I knew a perfect discord server for a community that's kinda hard to find servers that I like for and there's something similarly themed in Matrix but it's not the same at all and it's so inactive :< So actually I might end up making a discord account again just for that server... but I'm holding on for now X3

    Ye :< at least I didn't have any discord friends left for different reasons

    Tho I get that they're hesitant to make an account in a new platform just to chat with one person especially considering we ourselves have issues staying away from discord X3 But I do wish server owners would at least have a Matrix alternative and maintain it tho I guess that last part is another problem...

    "Ronald Reagan has won the Presidential Election" was pretty terrifying.

    BeanGoblin ,
    @BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Yeah but that's seven words.

    Dagwood222 ,

    "President Ronald Reagan" is three; three and seven average out to five.

    0ops ,

    I knew I shouldn't have dropped out of statistics

    Dagwood222 ,

    Well, that adds up.

    FakeGreekGirl ,

    "President-elect Ronald Wilson Reagan"

    occhineri ,

    It's also six in the original quote, who cares about numbers anyway?
