Trump forgot about the Streisand Effect.

He was a very effective user of it, and now the tables have turned.

Fucking good. I've been screaming about this for a long time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

It's so weirdly worded. Everything is veiled just enough that people can say, "that's not what it means." I've read 40 out 50 pages and found a half dozen typos.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 6 months ago

It seems that people are already aware that Biden is damned old, and their response to the media’s cries have been, “No shit, Sherlock, but what’s this 2025 thing?”

I hope that continues.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And yet you dumb fucks will still not vote.

Well yeah, the fucking POTUS told people to do exactly that in a tweet

Remember, girls: any male friend you know that votes for Trump probably sees you as a piece of meat and wants to own you like property.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Why they want the Catholic 10 commandments, instead of combining "I am your god" and "have no other gods besides me", the Catholic version splits those into two commandments, and take the last two and merges them: "Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife ... or any of his other property."

There are women who vote for Turnip as well... I wonder what the gender ratio of fascists is.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it was france with a high percentage of female far right voters

Imagine befriending a Trump voter. No thanks.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My mom a brown person liked trump last election whilst my father who follows politics hated him. Some people just don't know and that's a problem. My mom now hates him.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (9 children)

I can 100% forgive people who voted for him the first time around but later realized that was a mistake.

There's some growth. I have a friend who I almost lost after he voted for Trump the first time. His excuse was the whole propaganda drain the swamp, and businessman running the country thing. He hates Trump now too and has since gone more toward the middle and Def stopped being and voting for reds. Baby steps.

And so the seed has been sown...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They will still vote for it. There’s no low conservatives won’t go to

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Conservatives will, yes. They actively want it. It's the "undecideds" that matter here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Undecided in this political climate is just shorthand for tragically stupid. We're all placing our future in the hands of the Kyles of America, with their truck nuts and Monster Energy tattoos.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yep, there's no undecideds. You either want Trump in the house or not, anyone who claims otherwise is a shill or embarrassed for their choice so they claim to be undecided.

Agreed, yet the fate of our democracy is in their hands. The ones that live in the five or so states that actually decide the election, anyway.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 6 months ago (6 children)

But what’s the ratio of people finding out more because they liked what they heard vs the ones horrified about it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

If they look hard enough, even the most staunch of Republicans can find something they won't like. But they probably also believe Trump when he says he doesn't know what project 2025 is.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you look at D policy positions, they are overwhelmingly popular (when detached from a certain sleepy lil guy).

I think the majority of people searching are bound to find plenty they don't like

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

(when detached from a certain sleepy lil guy).

Why would my dog negatively affect the popularity of those policies??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No the sleepy guy that’s addicted to ice cream. Wait, that might also still be your dog.

Those were unreachable Trump supporters to start with. Hopefully it doesn't motivate them to do anything.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 months ago

This is certainly a concern, but all in all, shining a light on it is a VERY good thing.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We’ll find out in November. I’m going to be watching that female/male divide, that’s for sure.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I want to think that no woman could possibly look at that and approve, but then again, Phyllis Schlafly existed

This is good news, while it wouldn’t be enough to sway diehards, it will sway the undecided who don’t want to see the nation become a shell of its former self. Conservatives who are trying to distance themselves from their most desired plan will make mistakes and screw up enough to hopefully get caught out. Here’s hoping at least.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Not enough people get triggered enough by maga policies though. Enough are concerned about abortion maybe but transgender rights, marijuana, Ukraine, climate change, nah. I fear that too many people would rather vote for the candidate everyone wrongly belives is going to improve the economy than any of that stuff, not that I agree that's the right choice.

This "don't want bad things to happen to you? Simply don't be trans/gay/poor/different" mentality that so many people believe in needs to stop.

[–] [email protected] 175 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I am enjoying the popcorn as conservatives gaslight and pretend like it's nothing, as if they weren't standing behind it the whole fucking time.
