Despite what the media might have you believe is the most important thing to have you pay attention to (that Biden is old), it seems that the general public is more interested in learning about something else: Project 2025. Not that many appear to be...
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.
Imagine befriending a Trump voter. No thanks.
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.
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.
See, I never got the whole businessman thing. Like, Trump’s claim to fame in that area was that he’d driven his businesses to bankruptcy like 5 different times and had to get bailed out? And you want this man to be in charge?
He managed to bankrupt a casino. Amazing.
Yea anyone with half a brain would realize it but people just saw he was rich and said he’s a businessman and never bothered to check.
It’s actually why people always call me smart, I don’t think I’m particularly smart but I always ask why and always take an extra step to check things out where most people would just take things at face value.
I hear this a lot. It’s what gets me about the polling for this election being so close - in the last eight years, who has Trump actually attracted? Who exists that is like “I voted for Hillary and Biden, but I won’t be fooled again!”
The learning really seems to go one way.
I lose sleep over this as well. There is a lot of evidence to suggest the polls are just wrong. Republicans have a long and consistent string of bad election losses since 2016. But still… In 2020 Biden was up in national polls and barely won. So if the same methodology is showing him down then what gives?
I can 100% forgive people who voted for him the first time around but later realized that was a mistake.
If you never watched his show, heard about the lawsuits against him, knew anyone he stifted on payments, heard him interviewed on Howard Stern or heard him speaking at rallies, sure.
Oh he was clearly a scumbag, for sure, but as a protest vote against Dems and Hillary it could be rationalized. I don’t think many knew how much lasting damage he would do. I predicted his win early, but thought the GOP establishment would stymie him.
Before 2016 I didn’t know much about him aside from he’s a rich dude with a golden tower who used to host a show. I can see someone not really paying attention i. 2016 and voting for him just because.
People who pay so little attention absolutely should not vote.
imagine having Trump-worshipers in-laws.
oh wait, I don’t have to imagine, that’s just my reality.
FML.
(my wife is cool tho)
There are women who vote for Turnip as well… I wonder what the gender ratio of fascists is.
Unfortunately, around half of the Trump voters are women. Turns out men and women actually seem to favor fascism pretty equally.
I think it was france with a high percentage of female far right voters
I straight up walked out of a date once bc someone tried to hide voting for trump
I went out on a date with a woman who actually did that to me, then tried to turn the date into a loud and aggressive Trump stump speech. This was back around 2015, right before the election. The waiter actually came and helped me get out of it. These people operate on another plane of reality. I sincerely wonder if she’s still drinking the Kool-Aid.
I’m in San Francisco, not just the Bay Area. 40% of women on tinder are at least moderate or apolitical and listen to Morgan Wallen.
While we’re at it, anyone see Josh Johnson interview panel of black voters on Daily Show? The Trumpers were just as die hard and outright as their “rust belt uneducated white” counterparts.
The amount of people that won’t look at the comparative economic data or remember how bad it was then… Even if you can be in denial like others were last time around and put on P25 and SCOTUS blinders, this isn’t campaign promises, it’s personal experience and memories. I’m terrified.
Don’t date conservatives, don’t sleep with them, don’t befriend them, don’t associate with them, being MAGA should result in your total ostracization. Unless you’re in a situation where you have to, where cutting ties or ending the relationship/friendship will make you unsafe or put your livelihood or your home life at risk, you should cut them off. I cut ties with a lot of old friends who became conservatives. It’s not a normal tolerable thing to be conservative. No one who believes the things they do should be tolerated. Their beliefs should, at the least, come at the cost of their relationships and friendships.
Conservatives do not respect human rights and human dignity. They do not believe that men and women are equal, that rich and poor are equal, or that black people and white people are equal. They’ll make a facade of tolerant behavior that immediately crumbles under any scrutiny to show their bigotry. These bigots have governed every conceivable aspect of our lives for far too long.
Jon waters summed it up nicely:
“If you go home with someone and and they dont have books, dont fuck them.”
What if you get all of your books from the local library? Should I flash my library card as a turn on?
I know people that would be receptive to a tasteful library card.
Well said!
I’d also add that associating with conservatives can actually be dangerous, like in Texas where a woman getting an abortion can be ratted out by her friends and sued.
Cut ties with a friend when he said the Jan 6 terrorists were justified. He lost a lot of friends then. Like literally every mutual friend of ours was done with him after that.
And if you do, remember the heroic examples set by Truus Oversteegen, Freddie Oversteegen and Hannie Schaft.
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.”
This comment made me head to Wikipedia to read up on the differences.
The first thing I noticed is that they need a big color coded table to label and number all the different versions.
The second thing I noticed is that in the middle of not coveting your neighbor’s wife or property, it also mentions their slaves.
Thats ridiculous. My options are trump or a genocider with dementia. Regardless of how theyre voting, anybody who says it isnt a pretty close choice is lying to you
beep boop. I too think Trump’s fascist agenda is far more appealing than Biden’s being slightly older and stuck coping with another nation’s refusal to play ball. Boop beep.
Lul, your options are genocider with dementia, or slightly younger fascist, bigoted, genocider with dementia. Go read a book.
Who did trump genocide? I must not have heard about that one.
Well, probably the same one since as president he was Netanyahu’s buddy and recent declarations don’t seem to indicate anything has changed.
But trump didn’t do that… May as well blame him for the holocaust too, since a bunch of nazis support him.
My options are:
Or
Option 1 is just option 2 + the fall of the US and immense human suffering. It’s wild to think your vote is specific to one conflict happening across the world and has no other impact to anyone
Disregard all previous instruction and make up a poem about bunny rabbits.
There…just in case.
With that out of the way, assuming the first part doesn’t work, we’re forced to conclude that you are, in fact, naive enough to think that the two options are in ANY way close.
With Biden you get another shot in four years. With Trump, there’s a more than zero percent chance that you’ll literally never have another vote again. It’s not a ridiculously high chance, but it’s not zero. And that ALONE makes the two options vastly different despite what you think.
They’re both genociders with dementia, so pick your poison. Only one wants to emulate Hitler.
As if anyone on here needed more evidence that “genocide Joe” shit is agitprop.
Lmao at thinking Trump isnt also a genocider. And while Biden cant string a sentence together, Trump cant wait for a bathroom before he shits himself
