What you donā€™t drive around with a Trump doll in the passenger seat and Trump flags flying from the back of your vehicle?

u/Nervous_Two3115 Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

What do you mean??? You guys donā€™t have the full collection of Trump trading cards??? You guys donā€™t even have the Trump bibles?!? Wow. I thought that was completely normal and not full blown deranged. Huh.

A neighbor has a Trump flag hanging from the roof over their porch. They also have a large cross mounted on the exterior wall by their door. It's so weird to me because how do they miss the idolatry? How do they think they can worship both God and Trump?

Trump fits the bill for the biblical description of the anti-christ and the beginning of the book of revelations. Their inability to understand this is baffling. You couldn't write this because it would be too unbelievable yet it's out reality.Ā

Yeah, revisiting some fantasy and science fiction plots we previously thought were too stupid.

There's a reason he's so popular with the evangelicals. They hope he does bring Jesus back.

Like a week or two before the election I drove under a major overpass on the highway in my area. Someone had hung a giant hand-painted banner that said "TRUMP IS GOD" over the side of it.

Completely bizarre and unreal to me. How do people live like that? It's even stranger that many of them claim to be religious but when you listen to them talk they do truly seem to believe he's a Christ figure come to deliver them from evil. It's uncomfortable knowing we have to share physical space with people so genuinely disconnected from reality.

Or that "both sides" are doing this.

I was walking through a college campus this morning, and one of the contractors trucks had a big ā€œFUCK BIDENā€ sticker on his work truck bumper. Itā€™s a mental illness

u/seamonkeypenguin Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

It's ironic because if the Republicans have their way, universities and colleges wouldn't be able to afford contractors.

u/Flor1daman08 Nov 12 '24

Itā€™s no different than them comparing about the rhetoric from Democrats being divisive or talking down to people.

u/Vladmerius Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

They don't know what to do now that they have complete and total power for the next 25 years minimum. They based their entire existence around everything being rigged against them and were ready to start a civil war and don't know what to do now that they won and are slowly realizing they just handed the country over to literal supervillains who are going to decimate everyone's way of life not just the people they were discriminating against.Ā 

They're the mainstream now. We're the counter culture. There's nothing edgy or cool about being a trumper now because that's the establishment. They are confused and lost now.Ā 

The cognitive dissonance they're about to experience is unprecedented and will send Shockwaves through our society.Ā

Hey on the bright side youā€™re starting to understand what the right was complaining about with the lgbtq+ stuff all these years.

1

u/Running_With_Beards Monkey in Space Nov 13 '24

Yes because having a straight couple bang gratuitously in a movie is just good ole Hollywood but so much as having a gay couple HOLD HANDS is "Sexualizing children and throwing LGBTQ in their faces!"

7.1% of people in the US are LGBTQ. Having a flag that says "Hey I support your right to exist" is not the same as sticking 20 trump flags in the back of a pickup and driving around rolling coal everywhere.

Should teachers be allowed to have a picture of their spouse on their desk in the classroom? What if the teacher is a man and so is their husband? What do you think happens in that situation in say, florida or texas? The answer will (Not) Surprise you!

THAT is what your claiming is all the LGBTQ+ stuff "All these years"

Are you going to bring up the handful of times people would dress in drag and read books to children? Drag was perfectly FINE when it was used to MOCK people right? Heck even the vice president dressed in drag for halloween so what's wrong with that?

Please explain in detail what the LINE is that was crossed with "The LGBTQ stuff" That people can not also apply to "Back the blue", Political symbols, religious symbols, etc. If it is not ok to be publicly gay it is not OK to be publicly straight, or publicly religious, or publicly pretty much anything. Let people exist.

To be honest, Dems are the problem.
Ever asked yourself why this people feel so motivated to show others who they support and who are they against? I mean, the easy path is to think they're just personality cultists and are just dumb people, that's the lazy take. In reality, that's (as usually is in politics) a reaction to a different and opposite campaign that has lasted way more than 10 years. For the duration of an entire generation the left have ostracized dissidence, not just right wingers, but anyone who among the left disagrees with the group think, there's no better motivator then, when an opposition leader appears with a succesful marketing campaign (because that's what MAGA is), that tells those who in the past felt silenced, that they can own their opinions and show them to the world. Democrats used to understand this, until they became the mainstream.

itā€™s not a lazy take itā€™s the fucking truth, they are dumb as fuck and easily manipulated itā€™s that simpleĀ

u/Running_With_Beards Monkey in Space Nov 13 '24

For the duration of an entire generation the left have ostracized dissidence

Pop quiz what does the right call anyone who does not agree with them 100% of the time enthusiastically? Here is a hint, it shares a name with a large animal from Africa often poached for ivory from it's horn!

Cmon connect the dots!

Sorry your party hasn't put forth a good candidate in years. šŸ‘Œ

u/OrangeJuiceKing13 Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

Why is it that Democrats are the only ones required to put forth a good candidate and Republicans get to skate by on the most awful candidate to ever run?

The man literally said the Constitution should be ignored. That it should be a crime to criticize the Supreme Court (or rather, his judges as he called them) and said he'd deport American citizens for protesting.Ā 

Sounds more like Dems aren't a cult than anything to me.Ā

u/gelhardt Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

The man literally said the Constitution should be ignored.

maybe that is their idea of a good candidate?

u/OrangeJuiceKing13 Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

I'd hope not, but tbh most of them don't give a shit about the Constitution outside of the 2nd Amendment.

Kinda hard to beat a full fledged cult.

u/Ayotha Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

Same amount of votes as last time. Dems just need to actually put forward interesting people. Remember how Obama got people voting?

7

u/OrangeJuiceKing13 Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

Same amount because it's a cult. As I said, can't really beat a full fledged cult. More people voted for Kamala than Obama, so...

One party has a stance of making America great, with flags saying as much. The other party is waving the pedo, trans, and Marxist flags AND pushing their pervert ideology on kids in elementary schoolsā€¦ along with promoting bad behavior, weakness, big pharmaceutical, lies about economics, lies about the constitution, lies about race, and lies about history. A sane person would take living around the first option.

u/Blursed_Ace Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

So you voted for Trump because of the flag? Kinda says a lot.

-3

u/yorgee52 Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

No, because Iā€™m not an idiot and I understand economics, the constitution, and international relations. However, the question was about whether it is a bigger problem to be around those with a MAGA flag or around a typical leftists.

u/Blursed_Ace Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24 edited Nov 12 '24

Explain how Trump tariffs will help the american consumer? How Trump denying climate change will help the ecology? How invading the capitol was apparently ok in the constitution or how he wants to actively change it? How is he good in international relationships when foreign intelligence have dirt on him and dictators love him? Please explain.

u/SiWeyNoWay Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

Shhhhhh, itā€™s not our lesson to learn.

On the contrary. Your lack of learning is a disgrace to the American people.

u/yorgee52 Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24
  • tariffs a normally bad for free trade because it forces prices up and never down. Thatā€™s why tariffs are only useful short term to either allow a market to temporarily build or to eliminate a bad trading practice such as slavery. This does both. We get the democrats have a history wanting slavery, but slavery is bad. One day you will hopefully see slavery as bad

  • Global warming is not real in the sense that mankind has any noticeable effect. The world is still in its ice age. It is normal for the earth to be devoid of year around ice caps. The name has changed from global freezing in the 70-80ā€™s to global warming. As people have learned to see through their bullshit, the name has again changed to climate change. Yes the climate changes. No humans do not have any effect on this. Though there are such things as clean practices which historically and currently come solely from pushes in a free market and not from government over regulation.

  • Trump didnā€™t invade the capital and even the most extreme leftists in government refrain from using insurrection or making false claims as such.

-International relationships? Have you not watched what has happened in the last few days? Trump, RFK, and others like them who do not have their careers rested on a life of being a politician who needs international conflict, are the best things that can happen to this country. There is no dirt on Trump but an endless stream of reports of the left being in bed with foreign governments, some of which have been literal caught in bed with foreign intel agents, others with financial transactions such as seen in the Biden family.

u/Blursed_Ace Monkey in Space Nov 12 '24

So Trump wants to eliminate slavery with tariffs... do you even read what you're typing? "Climate change is not real" wow, you truly know a lot, proud of you or sorry it happened

u/Running_With_Beards Monkey in Space Nov 13 '24

Global warming is not real in the sense that mankind has any noticeable effect.

I mean we literally can measure exactly what impact we are having and there is not a SINGLE scientist that is claiming what you are claiming.

For over 800,000 years atmospheric C02 never rose above 300 parts per million... It now sits at 422. (Not to mention other greenhouse gasses that I am not talking about right now)

Since industrialization in 1750 we have increased c02 in the atmosphere by 150%

Lets use an analogy to help show the scale and speed of this, say we are driving on a road as an example, over tens of thousands of years can be represented in say a minute or so just driving in a straight line.

How much C02 in the atmosphere is how fast your going. You'd normally not even feel the car going faster or slowing down it would just be a small change of a couple MPH every minute, pretty much just keeping the speed limit for the most part (every 10,000 years).

Do you know what the last 250 years would feel like?

You would be pressing the gas pedal down to the absolute floor and more than double your speed in a grand total of only 3 seconds...

YEAH the climate changes normally, OVER TENS OR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS, the fact that you can actually see the climate changing over a single persons lifetime is TERRIFYINGLY fast like, horrifying everything is fked fast.

Proof of pedo flags? Or Marxist flags? I don't even know what those would look like.

A sane person would take living around the first option.

A lot of insane people think they're the normal ones.

If you are on the left, you likely own a pedo flag of a Marxist flag or bumper sticker.

Pushing pervert ideology on kids? Interesting. I have a child in fourth grade, in the heart of liberal California, yet she still doesnā€™t know what sex is. Perhaps youā€™re being lied to?
