Inaccurate.

I'm doing ok.
In anglo Canada we have our own version of this that includes at least 1 oversized Canadian flag, at least 1 “FUCK 🍁 TRUDEAU” and 1 “FREEDOM” optionally also on flags or decals, something sloppily painted in white complaining about coronavirus mandates, and getting more common is something insulting Jagmeet Singh.

LOL! The MAGA idiots fail to realize healthcare costs are far worse than fuel prices.
Leave my beer and cigarettes alone.
I work in a gas station, there is a MAGA regular who is constantly complaining about how broke she is, she buys 2 packs of unfiltered camels a day, that's $14.60 a pack, over $800 a month just for cigarettes cause she buys the most expensive packs in the store.
at those prices meth is cheaper.
At this point, I actually think the meth is more socially acceptable, too.

So, as long as I’ve been on lemmy, I may have come across maybe 2 certified Trump supporters, yet… there are 36 downvotes on this post.
I wonder who the 34 other cowards are that refuse to stand and be counted. Also, I wonder how many of the bad-faith both-sides “leftists” we all know and love are amongst them.
I downvoted it because conservatives constantly make this exact same "joke" about how poor people actually deserve to be poor because they pay for Netflix or clothes or anything that isn't food or rent. It's not funny when they do it and because I'm not a hypocrite I don't find it funny when leftists do it either.
Normally I would have just downvoted and moved on with my day, but apparently that makes me a "coward that refuses to stand and be counted". Because attacking people for downvoting a joke they didn't like is apparently 100% okay with Lemmings and totally not toxic behavior. Does not liking literally all of the comedy that comes out of the left make me a 'bad-faith both-sides “leftist”'? If so, guilty as charged. I do not see the left as a monolith and feel no shame in criticising or disagreeing with what other leftists say.
Sooo… I’m not a leftists and I don’t think it’s a leftist meme. Democrats/liberals are actually staring to actually fight back for a change. And it’s working. They’re finally trading punches with the always-on-the-offense far right, and they’re kicking their fucking asses- and you’re going to play both sides in this?
Yeah. You’re a coward.

I didn't downdoot it but it's pretty mean-spirited and probably doesn't reflect the majority of Trump supporters' finances.
From my perspective, it’s spot on accurate. I know people exactly like this.
Fair enough.
I’ll add that I know this isn’t a blanket statement to define all conservatives, but I’ve never known one not to fit this description.
And as an aside, fuck them anyway. Not one of them in my eyes deserve pity or mercy when it comes to defining them by their actions.
They're being grifted from all sides and are too poorly educated to do anything about it. I think that's pitiable.
Hard disagree. It’s 2024. Factual information is readily available. They’re not forced to be grifted. They chose it.
You think it's not possible to be genuinely mistaken, with all this bullshit available? Harsh.
Oh I absolutely think it’s possible to be mistaken. We’re human. And flawed as a result.
I don’t however, think that one gets a pass to be so mistaken that they would part with $100K for a watch branded by a known traitor to their country.
There are facts and there are what people want to be facts. Both are readily available, and the differences between both are provenly vast.
So no, it’s inexcusable in this day and age to be so mistaken as to support MAGA in any way.

Its the people who have lift kits and like beer and cigarettes. I need to get a lift kit but that has to do with the fact that some roads in my area are somehow worse than dirt roads and off roading.
Hey now, beer and cigarettes are necessities.
That's not true.
I'd say more beer and more cigarettes are necessities.
I personally have pity for rank and file Republican voters.
They were simply easy marks our education system intentionally failed to teach critical thinking and reason to because obedient laborers don't need that, and were then spoonfed sensationalist lies that appealed to their fears and anxieties, the easiest avenues for indoctrination, for the last half century under the guise of being "news" for the private profit of private shareholders and to turn them into useful idiot dependable votes for those same private shareholders to effectively capture their regulators and government that was once meant to protect us from them.
As just one in an ocean of examples, Fox "News" has been telling these poor sad bastards that "man made climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books!"
So what you're saying is, you don't hate the fools, you pity them.

Okay the 70k lifted truck is valid. But I don't think maga people are out there buying 100k watches
OK, substitute the NFTs and testosterone pills
Recently Trump was selling $100K gold watches; I'm assuming it was mostly maga folks who bought them
Not the people that can't afford gas, what the post is about. They don't have 100k to spend on a watch.
Yeah but they can't afford gas while Trump is selling expensive jewelry lol
It was almost certainly a way to hide "donations" (bribes), from multimillionaires and billionaires, not random maga poor people
