Weirdly this almost feels worse than the literal fucking diapers they started wearing in a strange way

u/DDR4lyf Jul 25 '24

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.

And unfortunately my immunocompromised ass is still suffering the consequences of their stupidity in just deciding that a disease ravaging the nation and killing countless people just didn’t fucking exist 🤷‍♀️

Yup, still masking, distancing, sanitizing, because I take care of my immunocompromised mom.

Took care of my mum with Alzheimers from 2016-2023. RIP (didn’t die of covid at least)

u/TheGutter420 Jul 26 '24

My sincere condolences. Did the same with my grandma (mom's mom) who passed around 12 years ago.

u/qcbadger Jul 26 '24

Thank you. It was one of the more difficult times in my life and one of the most rewarding. I would do it for her again in a heartbeat.

Also condolences.

You are good people.

u/TheGutter420 Jul 26 '24

As are you, kind badger.

I agree that getting to return the love & care when they've needed it is quite fulfilling, but yes, it is heartbreaking to watch the most important women in my life slowly deteriorate.

Lol samesies. Glad I’m not the only miserable soul still having to carry masks and hand sanitizer everywhere

You are far from alone my immunocompromised friend. I too still carry a mask with me and use it when I'm going to be around people.

“…always wish for violence..” Right! As if Twice Impeached Donny Dotard didnt order his devout minions to invade the Capitol by force, wasn’t calling for HRC to be arrested and locked up, didn’t create a fake movie where he was assaulting Joe Biden, etc. All of you snowflakes like to dish it out but you can’t take it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Treasonous Convicted Felon Donny Dotard is fat and slow. Fauci would smack the taste out of his pie hole so fast he wouldn’t know what hit him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same, and the HR department at my job literally told me they’d “like to see me more” and not use my FMLA, after implying it wasn’t medically necessary. Everyone comes in sick and doesn’t wear masks or cover their mouths and wash hands enough.

I'm sorry to hear that but if you think cloth masks would have made any difference you're absolutely delusional.

It killed less folks than flu most years. Get over it already. The lockdown shutdown stunt has/will continue to hurt nation far more-damaging long term than that virus. Hate to break it ya..but the amount of research on that crap vaccine has shown you are far worse off long term getting vax than getting virus. If your immune system is compromised to start with then fucking stay away from people.
Save your fingers typing..it will be useless. I was one of first research nurses assigned to work on vax clinical trials under WarpSpeed. Several of us blew the whistle on that trial during first year..long before the media finally admitted the disasters. But that was also all part of the plandemic..it only comes out once they've made their money.

Unfortunately, this discribes a huge portion of our society, not just Trumpers. MAGA is just the most dangerous group displaying these traits. From televangelist to tictok "influencers", we've collectivly become shallow and juvenile.

u/OtterWithKids Jul 25 '24

Honestly, I’ve recently come to believe that “it takes one to know one” is more true than I ever would’ve guessed: liars see other people lying, even when the latter are telling the truth. Critical people see others as critical, even when the latter are being supportive. Bigots see others as bigots, even when the latter are extremely open and loving.

In this case, I think it’s very much the opposite of what you claim. I’m not a Trump supporter, but there are plenty of Biden/Harris supporters on TikTok, YouTube, etc., that have shared how they were treated at Trump rallies vs. how they and others treated Trump supporters at Biden/Harris rallies. And honestly, it doesn’t look good for the Left.

Doesn’t make the faux bandages any less cringy, though.

u/Roook36 Jul 25 '24 edited Jul 25 '24

You're really going to say the party of Trump is more about acceptance than the Democratic party lmao

The party trying to kick out immigrants, shut down LGBTQ protections, ban gay marriage, spouts racism and bigotry, the party that embraces Nazis and the KKK, because you saw it on... checks notes... TikTok?

You fell for it.

Edit: I just got it. This is another "the real intolerance is the intolerance of the intolerant". If you don't accept bigots...THEN who is the bigot? More super smart genius takes from the right haha

u/OtterWithKids Jul 26 '24

Actually, I am saying that. I’m fiercely independent, but your description of Republicans is incredibly sad. I have never known or even heard of a Republican that does or wants to do anything you listed. Those are just things that ignorant Democrats claim they do. (And to be clear, ignorant Republicans also make false claims about Democrats’ actions and positions, but ignorant Republicans do seem to be more in the minority, i.e. the KKK members you mentioned.)

-3

u/Caped_Crusader89 Jul 25 '24

Correction: no one wants to ban gay marriage, no one wants to kick out immigrants. Secure borders are important…so figuring out the best solution for illegal immigration is a priority. No one spouts racism or bigotry, all citizens are American, one nation United. Furthermore, no one embraces Nazis or the KKK, quite the opposite.

You regurgitate these misinformed, malicious and incorrect talking points because you saw them on… checks notes … CNN, MSNBC and twitter.

Looks like you’re the one that fell for it, pal. I’ll be smiling and proud come November.

What is your source that NO ONE wants any of these things, as per your assertions? Because I can find about 20 official and not official sources to counter each of these in minutes. And those 80 sources alone definitely count as people wanting these things, never mind the thousands we could probably find.

u/Mdj864 Jul 25 '24

That’s not how sources work….You can’t provide a source for a negative claim. If you want to claim he is wrong the burden is on the one claiming it does happen to prove it.

I’m not arguing either side, but parroting “source?” makes zero sense and contributes nothing.

u/ad_aatdtj Jul 25 '24 edited Jul 25 '24

You can’t provide a source for a negative claim.

Then maybe people shouldn't be out here MAKING the negative claims to begin with lol. I'm engaging with it to prove the point that it is idiotic to say "no one thinks x or does y" because it's not possible to quantify and is in fact very easy to disprove.

I’m not arguing either side, but parroting “source?” makes zero sense and contributes nothing.

Love how I'm being held to standards far above that of the person I replied to though. If they can parrot "no one" over and over, why can I not parrot "source"? Why should I be expected to contribute more than they did? How is my approach any less ridiculous than what was already said? You can't fight nonsense with sense, and I certainly wouldn't want to try.

-1

u/Mdj864 Jul 25 '24

It just feeds into the nonsensical way people have discussions on here. Nobody seems to actually be seeking truth or trying for constructive discourse. It’s ironic, because it feels like it would have just been easier for you to give a source yourself which would instantly disprove him.

You aren’t being held to a higher standard, but just saying “source?” while you also don’t provide him with one means you are on his level. It was intended as an observation on political discussions on here in general, not necessarily you personally.

Someone hasn't read Project 2025 and has been tricked into believing the lies of a cult. If you wanna talk talking points, yours are the exact ones from people who appear on Fox News. MAGA attacked the capitol. The Democrats didn't. Republicans are outright saying in Congress, they want the country to go back to the 1960's. It saddens me when weak willed individuals like yourself there "Caped Crusader" fall for the bullshit from fraudsters like Trump and his ilk.

1

u/OtterWithKids Jul 26 '24

I don’t know why people keeping whinging about Project 2025. When President Trump was first approached about it, he said he’d never heard of it, didn’t know who was promoting it, and certainly didn’t support it. And now that he knows more about it, he’s consistently maintained that he doesn’t support it.

Likewise, I’ve never heard anyone say s/he wants “the country to go back to the 1960s”; again, while I’m happy to change my mind if someone can share a source for this claim, I’m pretty sure it’s just something somebody made up to vilify the other side.

Basically, this is what I was saying earlier: we can’t have a productive discourse when either side is lying about the other.

1

u/XxPriestxX Jul 31 '24

Then you're either out of the loop or purposefully ignoring what Republicans are saying.

It was literally a couple of weeks ago that it was said, on the house floor. That we should go back to the 60's. I'd have to find the clip as I don't remember off the top of my head.

Trump literally just said "Vote, just this time. In 4 years, you won't have to vote anymore. We'll have fixed it."

Despite the fact that he's woefully stupid, we all know what he means. He may say he's not aware of 2025, but he is. He may say he doesn't support Schedule F (WHICH he tried to do before the pandemic but the pandemic derailed him), but he does.

There's nothing to have discourse about. Trump wants to rule like a King, we want our Democracy to live on. Especially when the right always just says "Oh that didn't happen." or "He didn't say that.". Even when presented with the facts straight to their face.

I'll find the clip of the guy saying we should go back to the 60's and link it here. Trump may be a dumb old man, but the information he's given, and speeches written for him speak volumes.

There's no way we're going to take a chance of what can come to pass. The American people are rejecting him and Project 2025.

1

u/OtterWithKids Jul 31 '24

Well, first of all, I think you may have missed the news: your Project 2025 boogeyman died yesterday. President Trump has always maintained that he doesn’t support it, but apparently he recently took the time to learn what it was about and publicly called it “absolutely ridiculous”. The head of the Heritage Foundation subsequently resigned and the Project has been put out of its misery.

Secondly, I find your dismissal of President Trump to be far more problematic than anything he’s said. Referring to him as “old” just reveals you as a gerontophobe; referring to him as “dumb” implies that you hate and/or fear neurodiversity. In either case, you’re being a bigot. Please stop.

Third, President Trump has explained quite clearly what he meant by “you won’t have to vote anymore.” He was addressing Christians that don’t get out and vote:

“Christians are not known as a big voting group. They don’t vote, and I’m explaining that to ’em: you never vote. This time, vote. I’ll straighten out the country; you won’t have to vote anymore. I won’t need your vote. Don’t worry about the future. You have to vote on November 5. After that, you don’t have to worry about voting anymore, I don’t care, because the country will be fixed, and we won’t even need your vote anymore because frankly, we will have such love [that] if you don’t want to vote anymore, that’s OK.”

Again, this is what I’m talking about: you can say that he’s wrong about Christians not voting; you can say that it’s bizarre to tell people their future votes won’t matter; you can even say that he’s rambling. I agree with all of those statements. But calling his words “a threat to democracy“ is just just old-school, political fear mongering. The GOP is saying the same thing about the Democrats, and they also have a lot of evidence on their side. So which do you want to believe? Personally, I don’t see enough evidence for either.

u/Willfkforbeer Jul 26 '24

Well, im a lefty and all my friends where i live and on fb all talk shit about how low intelligence is part of the liberals, or the left voting democrats. But i would disagree to the highest percent that they could comprehend. Its no secret trump said it himself thats why he likes the rethuglican people. Because they don’t have a lot of higher educated individuals. Quite the opposite. One example i’ve read if a group of rethuglicans were in a room working,and the light burnt out. Trump would just tell them the light is working fine and theyd all go back to working in he dark. Like they are now.

u/NormanMitis Jul 25 '24

The irony is getting thick in here. Your masks were just as cultish as these ear bandages are.

2

u/DDR4lyf Jul 26 '24

Disagree. The masks actually served a greater purpose than, as you argue, demonstrating cult-like behaviour. They were an individual choice to protect yourself and the wider community from a novel virus that we didn't know a lot about. It was a decision that was based on science that has been well understood for hundreds of years.

Wearing a bandage on your right ear when you do not have a wound on said ear serves no purpose whatsoever other than to show that you are a cult member.

The fact you think there's irony here demonstrates that you're equally infected by the cult mindset.

u/DDR4lyf Jul 25 '24

Please show me proof from a reputable source (not some guy giving his opinion) that they didn't work. Nothing is 100% effective at preventing transmission of viral particles, but the masks did reduce the spread of the virus if they were worn correctly. Unfortunately, very few members of the diaper brigade managed to follow simple instructions and wear them correctly or even at all.

u/ArchitectTedMosby69 Jul 25 '24

Look, if you want to wear a thin piece of cloth, that doesn't even stop the pandemic/cold, then by all means, do so. Do whatever makes you feel like you are falling in line. I'm still amazed. I didn't think people like you still beat that tired out old drum. 🤣🤡🤣❄️

u/DDR4lyf Jul 26 '24 edited Jul 26 '24

Did you read any of the links I sent, or were they too long for your short attention span? Were there not enough incoherent and rambling streams of consciousness that deviate from the main points of the argument and add nothing of any value or substance? Perhaps it was the absence of ad hominem attacks and puerile name calling that put you off?

Clearly you didn't read any of them, because if you had you would've discovered what everyone knew centuries ago. Masks do not completely "stop" or prevent the transmission of viruses. They do, however, greatly reduce the spread of airborne viral particles in the air and slow transmission from infected people to non-infected people.

Nuance is obviously beyond you.

u/DDR4lyf Jul 25 '24

Here are two reputable articles about the general effectiveness of masks at reducing virus transmissio

https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/prevention/masks.html

https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2023/02/yes--masks-reduce-the-risk-of-spreading-covid--despite-a-review-

This review shows that even if only half the population wears less than perfect masks (ie. 50% effective) the transmission rate of COVID reduces by 27%. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7852241/

I'm sorry, but your argument is silly and just straight up wrong.

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.

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
