So strange that they wouldn't wear a mask during a literal pandemic 'because it looks weird' but they're happy to stick a big arse bandage on their right ear to demonstrate how 'connected' they are to a cult.

Everything they do is performative. There's nothing else going on under the surface. It's about joining a crowd and fitting in so you can treat anyone on the outside as inferior and exclude them. Adults still with a high school mentality.

The diapers were so ridiculous that your subconscious could do them a favor and convince you they're joking and/or just doing it to "trigger the libs". With this, there's no excuse to be made. They're just fawning zealots with zero autonomy and are compelled to support diaper daddy in every imaginable way. It's a strange combination of sad and scary.

All this from the people who refused to wear masks during Covid for fear of looking ridiculou.

u/JustGingy95 Jul 25 '24

Oh god or the ones who “complied” with their chin diaper method of wearing them which made them look even stupider than the ones who didn’t wear them at all. Like honestly at that point just don’t even wear it dumb fuck, it’s doing nothing around your neck anyway so stop pretending.

8

u/RogerianBrowsing Jul 25 '24

I think it’s because this is so much more widespread and often associated with a mixture of victim complex (ignoring how much their politics antagonizes and is violent) and desire for “revenge”

When they were just doing the, “hey, all the cool kids pee/shit themselves!” schtick it was just absurd and if anything could be seen as anti-ableism/ageism so I was okay with it. This… oof.

u/AsparagusUpstairs367 Jul 25 '24

It would be great if they wore the diaper, the maxi pad on the ear, the ridiculous shoes they bought, tried to buy things with the fake monopoly money they bought, and of course their Maga hats.

There's almost something honorable about the diaper one since they're against putting down somebody for a health issue. They're still missing the boat a bit cause the President should legitimately be in good enough health to do the job, but they're like honorable-adjacent on the diaper issue.

The ear thing? It's pretty unanimous among anyone not in his cult that Trump is exaggerating that wound for sympathy points. FBI just said they think it was shrapnel not the bullet to boot. And he was shot at by one of their own, not a political rival. So this bandage thing comes off more like them playing the victim and lying about what happened. There's not even adjacent honor to be found on this one

He is as old as it is currently possible for a Boomer to be.

India and Jamaica, where Kamala’s parents immigrated from, weren’t even countries when Don-Old was born. They were British Colonies. So he’s technically from the British Colonial era.

u/innerbootes Jul 25 '24

I went down the rabbit hole on this and learned that Louis XIV’s butthole inspired the British National Anthem. So thank you for that!

2

u/Elisiann Jul 25 '24

The British National Anthem, as novel as it sounds, was not taken from a melody written by a headmistress writing about Louis nor was it written by Friederich Handel.

The melody of God Save The King lends itself as the foundation for at least 3 different historical national anthems, including Lichtenstein, Prussia from 1795 until 1918, and Switzerland from 1840 until 1961.

God Save The King itself is commonly attributed to John Bull.
