People are still falling all over themselves to vote for this turd; to buy a huge stars and stripes decal of him and stick it on the back window of their Ford Raptor next to their Three Percenter decal. Buy a huge flag that says Trump 2024 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and hang it on a flagpole by the front door to their house, on the street with kids riding their bikes outside.
And there's an ever growing uncertainty about whether or not this meatball is going to actually win or not.
They don't care about Trump, he is just a symbol. Trump getting elected legitimizes what Trump represents, and that is hate.
Success in life means you have God's (AKA karma/the universe/ect) approval. Becoming the president of the US is the ultimate sign of success and therefore also the ultimate sign of God's approval.
Having someone who openly and brazenly hates the same stuff you do get elected president is more than just a sign of approval, it is like a high five from Jesus and all the angels. That means that everything awful that Trump has done or is doing doesn't turn them off of him, instead it's just the opposite. His hate filled statements, his ties to Epstein, his obvious desire to fuck his own daughter... he is open and blatant about them, but he is still "winning". And therefore, all of the awful shit he does, and has done, is something that his followers can attain for themselves.
and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.
Unfortunately, I personally believe that religion is a symptom of this type of mentality, not the cause. There is no cure, but teaching basic reasoning skills certainly helps. And that is why conservatives are targeting the education system.
i think they're targeting the education system because it doesn't teach their religion as the truth. i think it all circles back around to in group/out group behavior and they use their religion to enforce their in group. destroy religion. if they want to cling to it, they can go too.
This guy lives on the street behind me. He even has one of those garage projector things with the trump 2024 logo on it that he has up every night and a trump flag for each window of his car.
I've got two houses facing each other on my street who have been in a fascist flag competition for as long is I can remember. One of them even has an RFK sign next to his Trump yard sign. But yeah what I described above I saw on my way through a neighborhood in my small town. Its distressing!
That’s a man in need of help.
It’s both amusing and depressing to see all the rugged individuals loudly advertising what a vital subject they are.
