I voted for Trump in 2016 . . . because I was lied to and I fell for it
I’d rather they burned themselves
They’ll keep voting republican
It’s a part of their identity
It’s how they compensate for not having real personalities
They’re just looking for an off-ramp as everything implodes as a result of their actions
Can they Jim Jones mass suicide already and just finish this bullshit.
That only ends in all of us getting blown up with nukes
If only. Save us a lot of headaches
Give it a few years.
they should be forced to keep those hats glued to their heads.
[Inglorious Bastards intensifies]
Still voting for him.
And probably buying new hats.
Someday everyone will claim to have always opposed him.
I literally don’t believe this happened.
That’ll be the day.
Is this satire?
Also, I thought MAGA’s official stance on the Pope was that Catholicism was “woke” now lol
I can’t wait for the Trump religion. In this timeline it is totally happening.
That’s going to last all of 20 minutes, then they’ll be licking his wrinkly little raisins like good stooges.
Meanwhile, the rest of us need to Burn The Lifeboats
That’s a really weird metaphor. It doesn’t really make any sense.
There’s a well known metaphor about burning your own boats so that you’re unable to retreat. But, those aren’t lifeboats.
If you’re talking about not letting people get rescued, why not “sink the lifeboats”? Setting them on fire would be annoying, but a fire would be easy to put out if the boats are out at sea. There’s water all around. The article seems to be more about not allowing people who have abandoned the sinking ship to come on board. So, why not just “ignore the lifeboats”. You don’t have to approach them and set them on fire. You can just refuse to rescue the people in those lifeboats and leave them floating out at sea.
Ah. So this is the sort of “content” ChatGPT was trained on…
Your link got censored lol
Censored by what?
Huh maybe it’s censored on my instance. Never saw that happen before
I know driftglass has made his enemies, especially among never-trumpers and the MSM, but I doubt it’s extended to Lemmy, LOL. Maybe it’s a blogspot thing?
Well, it was just a part of the link. I see “drift glass.removed”
Yeah, the domain is blogspot with a dot com. If you search driftglass blogspot and burn the lifeboats, he’s written about it (and probably so has his wife, bluegal) and talked about it on their podcast several times over the years in regards to the teabagger movement and the offramps given to Republicans so they can temporarily claim to be “independents”, and then go right back to voting Republican.
This blog was from 2019.
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!
We are this stupid! How did this happen?
Corporate consolidation of media, systematic dismantling of the education system, decades of red-scare rhetoric and crackdowns on left-populism, corporate capture of both parties and the state-funded spread of radical Evangelical churches.
This has been the general plan for decades, ever since the New Deal and Civil Rights movement, to unwind every inch of progress ever made since the abolition of slavery. The Epstein Class will take us all kicking and screaming back into the darkness of unenlightenment, a new dark age of unspeakable horrors.
if only there were millions of people telling the americans how fucking stupid dumpy was. PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN UP!
cookie hell.
Is that the one where they still rot in hell but they get cookies from time to time?
Isn’t that the one we’re in right now? /s
Rounding up random brown people, including American citizens and sending them overseas to prison camps?
That’s fine.
Raping children for decades?
Perfectly cool.
Cringey blasphemy?
HE CROSSED THE LINE
Hey man at least they’re a little less out the fog now lol stupid this is what it took but it’s progress.
'Murican “christian values” on display for the world to see, lol
They’re fucking reptiles.
Frankly, this is making me furious. Even a friend of mine who has hated Trump all along is telling me that this “crosses a new line” for him. I’m having a hard time not snapping at him about this. I will bury the reaction and continue smiling for now because opposing Trump is more important for now.
Fuck these people for real. I hope they find that hell that are so adament about.
And there are millions and millions of people who are allowing their children to be raped and don’t do anything about it?
Are the darkies getting raped also?
For shame!
The mental illness will continue until the empire collapses.
True product of America imo
It’s not even the first blasphemy… There’s been so much talk and memes from evangelicals basically making him out to be a messiah and he’s totally embraced it over and over again.
Calling someone messiah is not a blasphemy tho. However, equaling yourself to God or his Son is a blasphemy. But now that you pointed it out, he was destined to fall for it at some point with his overinflated ego xD
Ngl I never bothered looking up the definition or etymology before despite being hardcore raised christian
Its only when imaginary flying men get involved.
That must be why they hate Obama so much.
Those are things he hasn’t tweeted or said or done on video, they are things the people who are dumb enough (all republicans) to have ever been on his side can deny or think isn’t as bad etc. This is a specific thing done by him, it’s something many of them can’t do the mental gymnastics to try to disprove, explain away or angle into something else.
it wasn’t the pedophilia, the raping, the fraud, the tens of thousands of lies, the pornstar hush money, “grab’em by the pussy,” “suckers and losers,” the support for genocide and pointless bullshit iran war–no, it was the ai jesus pic that pushed them over the edge…
I think that they were willing to go along with just about anything, so long as it seemed like he was a path to power. But, from their perspective, he’s committed the ultimate faux pa, he made gas prices go up. So his political agenda is dead in the water with no chance of recovery. This stuff is just the excuse to back away without loosing face.
Nothing gets fake Christians upset than someone out fake Christianing them.
Gloriously accurate statement.
Life is full of miracles.
Which isn’t even really new information. He’s compared himself to Jesus multiple times and blasphemed publicly a few times that I’m aware of.
i am also occasionally guilty of operating on the assumption that anything about maga voters makes any sense whatsoever
Well, something about them does make sense. They are all a bunch of scared babies who want a mean daddy to fix all their problems (which are apparently 100% just brown people).
The saddest part to me is that they have been conditioned and misled to this position carefully, methodically, and maliciously over a few decades. If you aren’t the type to push back and question what those around you do and say then it becomes your warped reality. It’s the same misleading ensnarement used by cult leaders.
This isn’t the first one made of him. So it took a few to push people over.
A reminder that it isn’t Trump, but the ones who support him that are the problem, and there are so many of them. And even they are also just a symptom of a deeper illness. A self-perpetuating one.
They want something to be nominally angry about because we all made fun of them for only caring about gas prices. This is cover. I won’t assume intentionality where irrationality has always reigned, but the holier-than-thou crowd prefers a spiritual boogeyman to admitting they are just selfish little children.
There can be two problems
Yeah but one man being a problem is solved easily by putting that man in prison. A hundred million supporters can’t be solved so easily.
There are lots of problems, but some are more dependent on the others, so pick your battles. There are also predicaments. Whether or not the biggest problems are really that is debatable. But have to start somewhere.
Right, you just literally said Trump wasn’t a problem, which is quite obviously false. I know what you meant, but it sounded bad.
They’re just like the muslim extremists they love to make fun of, one meme of their prophet and they lose their shit
Two sides of the same coin.
They are mad but they will still vote red down the ticket.
Don’t forget rising gas prices.
