      TRUE Drumpf supporters get it tattooed on both eyeballs so it’s both painful and shows their dedication, AND will be permanently visible for all to see for years to come because there is NO WAY they’ll ever regret the decision of backing a businessman that bankrupted 3 casinos.

    If I was naked in public and that was my only option to cover myself, I’d just stay naked. Much less embarrassing.

      Usually because their life sucks, through some combination of the shitty societal things like corporate greed that effects us all, as well as their own failings, like not trying in school, being an asshole so they don’t have freinds etc.

      And instead of accepting they are somewhat responsible for their own life, putting in the emotional labour of Introspection, admitting their mistakes and working hard to correct them, they listen to the guy on the TV who tells them everything bad about their life is actually because of the liberals and the illegals and trans people, and if we can just stop them, then all their problems will be fixed and Trump is the guy that’s going to stop them, so they worship Trump because that’s easier than helping themselves.

          Yeah, I started reading that comment thinking I’d come up with some snarky comment relating it to the conservatives in my extended family or whatever. But then by the end I just felt deflated.

      Imagine someone with no personality whose life is so miserable the closest thing they can tell to joy is making other people as miserable as they are. Adding to what @gmtom said…their life is very likely shitty, and some shyster tells them it’s everyone else’s fault and he should blame minorities. The only way he thinks he can make his life better is by actively making other people’s lives worse.

      …and buy a bunch cheap march promoted the figurehead who fills his mind with such trash

      probably not as bad as when you see people like this wearing a trump cape in other countries outside of America . At least their weirdos are doing it with relevance.

      Kinda sucking right now, since you asked. We’re hopeful it’s going to get better soon, though.

        Unfortunately not. JD Vance has strong ties to Project 2025. He would be the point man for that in a Trump admin, because nobody trusts Trump to not fuck it all up.

    At least they’re warning us they’re not worth interacting with.

    Feel bad for any workers who are forced to though.

      Yep. Trump merch of any kind, thin blue line flag or sticker, tread on me sticker, 3%er sticker, preamble to the constitution window tint, cybertruck, blacked out US flag window tint, NRA sticker, confederate flag sticker, anything at all that indicates support for Republicans…

      I thank them all for so proudly ensuring that I will be able to spot and avoid them in nearly any circumstance. Life is just so much nicer.

          I only didn’t list it because I just couldn’t bring myself to do so. All by itself maybe not, but paired with any single one of the others - yup!

      Heard someone say something similar about folks that display a Confederate flag. It’s a fine marker to identify those that are both mean and stupid.

    This is what happens when you turn politics into two sided shit slinging, team red v team blue, us vs them, my favorite football team vs their shitty rival.

      I suppose so, but we usually only see this level of fanaticism from one of the sides, and it happens to be the side that turned politics into a massive clown show.

      Well, publicly anyway. In the last 50 years.

      I don’t have a favorite football team in this analogy. I have one team that really could do better in a great many ways, and another that wants to turn us into a Gilead-style post-apocalyptic right wing authoritarian wet dream.

      So yeah, anyone but those guys, please.
