Edit: Image is from this Reuters article deconstructing Trump's latest rally.
The guy on the left looks like a mid 60s Spider-Man villain.
He's dressed like a brick wall.
Has he never seen The Wall? Makes me want to spray paint lyrics on his stupid ugly fashy suit.
So this is what oxygen deprivation looks like
That’s a lazy explanation for shitty political views. It completely ignores the lead poisoning and fetal alcohol syndrome mixed in there, too. Not to mention the inbreeding.
They really do view politics as team sport. I mean just look at how they dress and present themselves in public. If they can't make a show of their trump worship there's probably no point for them. They don't care about policy or ethics or making their lives better, they just want daddy trump to smash a homerun over the left wall and beat them libruls.
It doesn't matter, if people are old or young. Problem is that far right is gaining support over the world, enemies are actively using propaganda and bribe our politicians and we ignore wealth inequality, which lets most wealthy people to override democracy. We either somehow deal with that or future will be really tough for all of us.
What is with the brick suit?
I should say too... roll back the clock 20 years to these bitches mocking John Kerry for getting wounded in Vietnam:
I’m guessing it’s “the wall” that Trump always talks about building
What is with the brick suit?
Had similar question. I guess "build the wall"?
Possibly "🎵 He's a brick...HOUSE. Mighty mighty, just letting it all hang out🎵" ?
Hard for me to get into the mind of some of these characters.
I think it’s-a-me, MAGArio.
Wait so if they’re the brick, can we smash them? I’m down to stomp some goombas.
It’s a shame that liberals expect so much more from their candidates. It leads to a party that gets fractured and just hands the win to Republicans.
Considering our country already gives Republicans a head start with the electoral college, gerrymandering and the senate structure, this fracturing makes it even more difficult for liberals to win.
2016 did so much to screw over liberals. Not just with the president, but with the senate and statewide elections. I honestly believe liberals won’t survive another Trump presidency.
Edit: and Supreme Court… Dems should have had a 5-4 advantage if they just voted for a shitty candidate. Now we will likely be in the minority there for decades.

I was there voting for the shitty candidate in 2016 and everyone else was blabbering about emails and how Trump could never win so why bother voting?
Edit: In 2024 the same morons are blabbering on about genocide Joe and encouraging people to vote for third parties and shit here on Lemmy.
The neat part is that they don't even need to get the most votes to elect a president. They have the advantage of low population density, which means their votes count for more.
Yay democracy.
I mean in that particular example it’s specifically a limit that was put on our democracy. Which is to say, make sure your state joins the national popular vote compact if they haven’t already:

That's not the only example. The Senate and House also give low population density states outsized influence. So we'll end up with a popularly elected president thwarted by an undemocratic congress. Oh, and senates at the state level have the same problem.
The entire system is fucked and I've given up thinking it's going to do good things. I've been burned too many times.
