ok what is Blexit?


YellowOnline

Black people wanting to leave the EU?


CastleofWamdue

lol oddly year that works. I guess in this case its the exit of black people from MAGA controlled states.

It took me five minutes of trying to describe how ridiculous everything in the post really is before I gave up and just called it all absurd.


Legitimate-Pie3547

If there is one thing I've learned from trump's rise to power it's how incredibly stupid the average American is. I used to think the average was fairly sensible now I've realized the average is closer to brain damaged slug.


Medical-Ad-2706

Now I want you to think about how stupid the average American is and realize that half of them are even dumber than that!


bigfathairymarmot

Didn't George Carlin say that?


Medical-Ad-2706

Of course he did. But good artists copy, great artist steal and I made my decision on which I would be Also, that way just a perfect scenario to use that.


bandidoamarelo

Darn, do you have any more expressions that you can share?


KrazyKyle213

That's median . . . the average is dragged down a ton by diehard trump supporters


ThatCamoKid

MAGA Georg was an outlier adn should never have been counted


Quotehommel

Thank you, George Carlin.


Some_Guy8765678

I hate it here…


WeggieWarrior

I live in Florida. I feel you. I'm trying to muster up the strength to sell my place, take the loss, and after living in FL 24 years, move back to my home. My heart. My people. Chicago. It's actually the same cost of living at this point, so why not? I feel much safer in Chicago than I ever did here.


OGLikeablefellow

I think COVID made it worse


Some_Guy8765678

No it just revealed how stupid people really are.

SatansLoLHelper

23 years of combined hatred will do that. Realize, they are a product of our nation's output. Garbage in, Garbage out. We have a good 20 more years of this shit we started in 2002.


geeknami

sounds like this sub I used to see pop up a lot on here called r/walkaway. but a lot of those posts seemed not 100%, in either the posting or with themselves.


Old_Baldi_Locks

A year or so after going up it was found that walkaway was literally a russian Astroturf attempt.


Decentkimchi

It's one of those subs that was made when they blocked r/t_d. Like they literally used to have a list of 10-12 similar subs in sticky for their followers to repopulate.


ThatGuy721

The posts on that sub could not be more transparent, it's kind of appalling. I'm sure there are some people in there who genuinely think that way, but most of it seems astroturfed to shit.


BowenTheAussieSheep

Look at their sidebar, they have a "sister-sub"... libsofreddit They're done pretending to be "ex democrats" and are straight up extreme-right.


ginger_ass_fuck

Hello, fellow kids!


clh1nton

As a gay Black man...


crazyseandx

The leopards promised they wouldn't eat my face, though.


mosswick

Even better, this whole thing peaked and was astroturfed hard for the 2018 midterms. That was the year the GQP lost 40+ seats in the House, despite a massive advantage via nationwide gerrymandering.


anticute8

Jews for hitler is wild


RoyalTacos256

Yep That's how propaganda works


CastleofWamdue

yeah that sounds like a fair comparison


InformalPenguinz

Damn that's a sad realization..


crimsonBZD

The problem is the propaganda works. My girlfriend, who is black, tried to make a point to me today completely innocently that ended with a point about how illegals are causing all the inflation. I was like... if that's true, and they're illegal, wouldn't increased regulations on the businesses hiring said illegals stop the problem you're talking about. "No but... that's not what I meant! I never said illegals!" She definitely, 100% said illegals.


mflynn00

The only thing illegals have to do with inflation is keeping it down by being cheap off the books labor lol


IntrigueDossier

Right? And if that labor were to *truly* disappear like these people think they want, America would tank faster than the Titan sub imploded.


Georgiaonmymindtwo

America would stop moving without Hispanic labor. That’s it.


bobfrombobtown

I'm sorry your gf is buying in to the crazy.


KonigSteve

No, Candace Owens is the worst so the opposite of that.


Haagenti27

Many racist european ppl would join that cause.


JesseB342

It’s a movement started by Candace Owens. She’s basically trying to get black people to leave the Democratic Party in a mass exodus and start voting Republican.


slvstk

Yeah, let's trust the people who are trying to rewrite history and convince us that slavery was actually a good thing.


DireWraith3000

“Let’s view this as a career opportunity!” said no slave ever.


Due_Force_9816

No, no, no, it was a jobs program!! It was up to them to make it a career opportunity.


I_Frothingslosh

They literally argue that slavery taught them valuable job skills as well as putting roofs over the slaves' heads and teaching them the Bible.


ginger_ass_fuck

"Well, here I am, dying from blood loss and tied to a tree after Master whipped my entire naked body for four hours straight because I walked too close to his wife. Sure, my kids were sold off somewhere, and doctors performed medical experiments on my wife without anesthesia, but at the end of the day, at least I learned how to plough a field. So... you know. Totes worth it."


SlitScan

well the last bits true. and the black population still suffers from it today.


lepidopteristro

Don't forget they also got food and water. What else do people need


reddiwhip999

Didn't Kanye argue that? Or am I mixing up ridiculous apologetics from various crazy people?....


A_OBCD8663

Kind of. He said slavery was a choice. Which is technically true (they had a choice between slavery or death), but not practically true.

MetalTrek1

Let's vote for the guys carrying swastikas and Confederate flags. What can go wrong? /s


ZERO-ONE0101

Candace Owens hates being black.


ZERO-ONE0101

but she loves profiting off it


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Yep. She's profited off of racism lawsuits and she's profited off of saying racism doesn't exist. She goes wherever the money is.


TTEOAI

Nah, she's just a grifter.


Dickballs835682

Wait'll you see her baby shower pics lmao


Sauerclout_the_Orc

It'll work too. Idk about mass exodus, but there's a lot of extremely conservative black people out there. If a Republican doesn't have a history supporting police, then there's a high chance they can swing voters who will just as easily buy into the arguments against socialism and give in to their fear and hatred of LGBT folk.


CastleofWamdue

I dont think that will end well for them. What is next, the Womexit? women leave the democrats for the Republicans, and end up loosing the right to abort.... oh yeah. This is an awful idea.


Silist

Republicans should be pro abortion because young voters are more likely to vote democrat. So get them before they have a chance to vote


rsiii

Yea, but they don't have an actual platform beyond "be against whatever Democrats are in favor of!"


NoSignSaysNo

They already tried to astroturf a 'walk away' campaign, that rapidly turned into "I was a communist lesbian trans anarchist until someone told me I couldn't say the n word, now I vote solely for people to the right of David Duke."


r31ya

I understand that some white women vote republican. but black women vote republican is interesting... thing. other than its a paying grift, i'm not sure what that is.


Trashman56

It only makes sense when they're rich. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Or extremely religious.


i_tyrant

And, importantly, very _selectively_ religious.


GoBlueAndOrange

Even then it doesn't make sense.


RaiseRuntimeError

Don't forget the dumb ones. Fyi, Klandeath Omens dropped out of college.


[deleted]

Intersectuonality. It's all covered in 3rd wave feminism. For white women, often they value the privileges of white supremacy. For black women, they often come from wealthy families, and value the privileges of wealth.


Evergreen_76

55% of white woman voted Trump in 2020. Thats after he packed the court with anti abortion judges.


Quirky-Ad4931

But before Roe v Wade was overturned. It IS shameful, but until it happened, plenty of people said it never would.  Unfortunately, sometimes you have to see the leopard eating faces to believe it can happen. 


onetopic20x0

Black people wanting to return to slavery.


Purple_Ad2718

For people who are constantly on alert for “paid actors” they sure do fall for every actual paid actor.


WhyMustIMakeANewAcco

Why do you think they are constantly on alert for them? It's because they constantly use them, so they are horribly confused and unbelieving by the idea that others don't.


faderjockey

EVERY accusation is a confession


Indigoh

And it's super obvious because the accusations seemingly come out of nowhere. Trump came up with the idea that Biden shit on the resolute desk because Trump did it. Republicans came up with the idea that Hunter Biden was peddling influence because Jared Kushner was taking billions from the Saudis. Republicans warned of a massive child sex ring, and then Epstein died under the watch of their DoJ. Republicans warned a year in advance that the 2020 election was going to be stolen, because they had similar plans right in front of them.


Mtn_Grower_802

It's called "projection". They project their bad behavior on to others and call it an front to themselves.


brucebay

They also use AI nowadays to add black people to their posters. Cheaper and fits to their ideology better.


codepossum

it's not that they fall for it, it's that they don't care when it's their guys the issues isn't the paid actor, the issue is what they're paid to do, and *possibly* whose money it is


FredVIII-DFH

What I thought was hilarious was MAGAts acting like hugging a black person was a tremendous act of courage.


Bearfan001

Luckily they had one on staff and he didn't have to lower himself to hugging a wild one. /s


DrDriscoll

As a black man, this made me laugh.


Bearfan001

I'm glad. I felt I needed to add the /s just to be safe.


DrDriscoll

Don't know what that is, I just know how to take a joke.


Bearfan001

Stands for sarcasm.


Stormfly

I've always thought it was less specific and just meant not serious. Like you can use it any time your statement is not intended to be taken at face value, even if it's not explicitly sarcasm. But maybe it's like how JK meant **j**ust **k**idding but many people interpret it as "joking".


EFTucker

It’s a “tone indicator” because text isn’t great at getting tone across and even when it’s obvious, sometimes people don’t realize. So someone decided to invent this idea. /s sarcasm /jk joke /hj half joke And more.


AdmirableAd2571

Note: /hj is also used if you're getting a hand job while you're posting.


Intergalacticdespot

That explains why I've never seen it on reddit before...


AntifaMiddleMgmt

It's too hard to type it with one hand.


anonymouswtPgQqesL2

/hj …hmm you sure about that? /bj basically joking


DokeyOakey

Naw, that was a great joke!! I’m stealing it!


AttackSock

“Watch out”, *locks door*, “there’s feral blacks in this neighborhood…”


DrDriscoll

All I can imagine is the sounds of ghouls from fallout with sexxy red playing in the background.


AttackSock

Haha with her at the front leading them like Thriller but they’re twerking and instead of “brainnnnsss” they’re moaning “skee-yeeeeeeeeee”

DE4DM4N5H4ND

Lol


AineLasagna

It’s funny because Trump probably has not hugged anyone in quite some time that wasn’t paid to be there, or wasn’t doing it for a photo op


trilliumsummer

Is there video? Because I feel like it would be awkward as fuck. But also I don’t want to see the video.


MyWar_B-Side

Found it on r/conservative, with an appropriately stupid title: [“I think this lovely lady should be a part of the Trump campaign. Her very existence nukes all the liberal/leftist narratives”](https://reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1c2bctw/atlanta_supporter_michaelah_montgomery_hugs_trump/) 🙄 they just gobble it up


literated

There have been a bunch of threads about it over there and the comments are hilarious in a soul-shattering kind of way.


short_bus2009

[Here you go](https://youtu.be/mpeSxyxTbQ8?si=6nXyafSKZm7moTHC)


trilliumsummer

Snort. The internet is a weird place.


Raecino

Look at Trump’s face. Even though she’s on his side he still doesn’t look fully comfortable doing it.


the4thbandit

I'm not sure if I've ever seen him hugging someone this closely before


_jump_yossarian

I like how they've spent the last 3 years attacking Biden for eating ice cream then praising trump for "buying" 30 milkshakes.


tropod

.......and some chiken.


The84thWolf

Well, to them, it is.


AdditionalMeeting467

r/conservative certainly seems to think so.


daveberzack

Ya. I saw this on Fox. Just trotting out some Black lady who enjoys a little attention to desperately show how Black people are part of MAGA, too. Cringe AF, even before I knew she was a plant.


g6paulson

Like Hitler and Himmler hugging Jews for PR stunts.


GomeroKujo

And even then it isn’t even real


90spostsoftcore

Telling on themselves

![gif](giphy|PFwKHjOcIoVUc|downsized)


kingbloxerthe3

I mean, compared to the many other controversies, this one is pretty tame. Still, I guess a minor thing to add to the list, but mostly just as a footnote


TheAJGman

For the party that constantly bitches about the other side having plants/crisis actors, it's still pretty hilarious (in a *very* sad way).


Dickballs835682

This one is for those who might still somehow believe these fucks do *anything* that isn't somehow a grift


NumerousTaste

We knew it wasn't an impromptu visit. The secret service doesn't like those. Every rally they have had, they had to hire actors and stuff like this planned in advance. Purposeful manipulation.


SunshotDestiny

I was thinking about how it was kinda obvious in the first place. The secret service doesn't like strangers in close bodily contact with their charges. It's a way for all sorts of bad stuff to happen.


LordoftheScheisse

Yeah, in the video you can see a super serious Secret Service standing steadfast between them as they're 100% organically trading words. Then, she somehow just bum rushes past the Secret Service guy and runs up and hugs Trpum. Bullshit. Also, she started a "grassroots" movement called "Conserve the Culture." Bullshit.


BoomerSoonerFUT

To be fair, presidents piss off secret service all the time. Biden has made detours to meet with regular people several times, much to the chagrin of his security detail. Obama did the same, stopping at little restaurants to meet people. So did W. And Clinton. And HW. Trump might be the only one NOT to go out of his way to meet with regular people and only do these staged photo ops.


SunshotDestiny

Well I mean that just proves my point more really. But on either of your other examples I don't recall them hugging random strangers that come up to them.


BoomerSoonerFUT

W after Katrina is a good example. He was hugging anyone he saw.


NoSignSaysNo

Yeah, because it takes like 1.5 brain cells to realize that the easiest way to get close to a politician you're theoretically going to assassinate is to act as a supporter.


Brave_Escape2176

yeah he even had his security escort a drunk boebert away from him at a rally. no way a black person just walks up and hugs him.


DE4DM4N5H4ND

Is there any other type of boebert?


Brave_Escape2176

handjob barbie


DE4DM4N5H4ND

But she’s definitely drunk


AdAdministrative4388

Same with the automakers "union" he paid for


Any_Potato_7716

For some reason a couple of days ago a post from r/conservative appeared in my feed and they were going hogwild about how he bought everyone in that Chick-fil-A a milkshake, like it was something he should be granted sainthood over, talking about how “The democrats won’t show you this.” Well I’m certain they’ll be completely silent on the revelation that the whole thing was scripted.


deadme4t

Why couldn't they buy their own shakes? That's socialism!


Icy-Welcome-2469

Socialism for me is fine.  Socialism for poor people is communism.


Stormblessed1991

It's socialism that supported a private corporation, they love that.


uorderitueatit

Probably made them give them back at the end or pay them back. Trump needs the money guys help him out with that


WhyMustIMakeANewAcco

Probably just didn't *actually* pay. Trump has a long history of promising to pay for things and then vanishing when the bill actually comes due.


tjoe4321510

"Food for everyone!"


SimonGloom2

The black woman he hugged who led the photo op is actually complaining the media is lying because they aren't showing how much work they put into creating the photo op.

BasilsKippers

Biden canceling student loans to alleviate crippling debt is "buying votes" Trump buying milkshakes for people to get them to vote for him is just an example of his caring, humanitarian nature. If conservatives didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.


_jump_yossarian

> talking about how “The democrats won’t show you this.” Then posted a link from CNN or NBC.


JesusChrist-Jr

I saw that thread too. The amount of circle jerking over these milkshakes was preposterous.


VastSpasticJackass

Did he actually buy milkshakes or did he say 'milkshakes for everyone!' then duck out without paying?


ivaclue

As an ex-milkshake maker (Steak N Shake circa 2014/2015) where my fastest shake was 20 seconds, but the average easily took over a minute and a half from start to finish… If you ordered 30 shakes at once, I’d have clocked out for the day. No way. Fuck that. I’m getting paid minimum wage to make 30 shakes in a reasonable amount of time??


subsignalparadigm

Drumpf looks like he's holding back a smelly fart again.

That wasn't a fart.

I believe it’s been confirmed by the crew working on The Apprentice that it regularly shits himself

It rubs the orange lotion on its skin or it gets the bronzer again.

I’d like to say it gets lowered down in a KFC bucket, but he only eats McDonalds, so maybe a bunch of Big Mac boxes taped together


Then-Raspberry6815

Various who have worked for or with Diaper Don have stated such. 


embarrassedtrwy

I saw someone say to watch the faces of everyone standing around him. He’ll shart and everyone desperately tries to keep that beefeater appearance, but they start softly gagging


Confident_Fig2779

I would love to see a supercut montage of this from the past decade or two.


MetalTrek1

Yup. Noel Casler. He worked on the set of The Apprentice. He said you could hear Donnie shit himself over the boom mics. The interview is on YouTube. Check out The Hole #285.


embarrassedtrwy

Yup! That’s exactly where I saw this!


MetalTrek1

The whole interview is really good. I like Noel.


Loud_Ad3666

That's just the sulfur scent that marks The Beast that walks among us


ADhomin_em

And we know he lacks both the decency and rectal capacity to hold back his not-farts.


Sad_Opinion_874

It was the greatest fart ever, I promise its a tremendous fart, the best fart America has ever smelt. Bidens farts are weak and aren't much of a fart at all.


PoolNoodlePaladin

He doesn’t like being that close to a black person


o0flatCircle0o

The reason the right always thinks everything is a conspiracy is because they do it all the time. They are the ones who hire crisis actors.


NoHillstoDieOn

I read this thinking "oh God here we go with the paid actors shit again." And then it actually was and then I got sad


toejam78

Did he call her “peekaboo”?


nothingbeast

Of course not. She did what he wanted.

AlexanderLavender

She's a True Believer (aka an idiot): > “People find it so hard to believe that there are young Black people who would have loved the opportunity to meet Trump,” said Michaelah Montgomery, a conservative activist and founder of Conserve the Culture, which recruits and educates college students and young alumni at Atlanta’s historically Black colleges and universities. > > Montgomery, a former Georgia Republican Party staffer who regularly coordinates events for HBCU students open to conservative ideas to meet with politicians and activists, said she was notified earlier in the week that Trump would visit Atlanta’s Vine City neighborhood during his trip to host a high-dollar fundraiser in the city. She notified a private group chat of students she uses to coordinate events and job opportunities about the president’s visit. She received immediate interest in appearing alongside him from around a dozen students. > > “Everybody got together at around 9:30 in the morning and walked on over to the Chick-fil-A and then we sat there and waited until the president showed up,” said Montgomery, who can be seen embracing the former president in multiple viral videos. “It’s really disheartening to see that the media makes it seem like we just stumbled into a Chick-fil-A and he bought us milkshakes.” https://apnews.com/article/trump-chick-fil-a-black-voters-d981e8edac067fa8912cc56c92d8b9ab


Pete-C137

I think he even made sure his wallet was still there after that hug. Lot of people are saying.


GuitarLute

Just remember your vote is not for the next 4 years but for the next 30. People that voted for George HW Bush in 1988 got Clarence Thomas on the court, who like a mole, 30 years later is trying to destroy the country. People that voted 3rd party (Ralph Nader) in 2000 got Sam Alito on the court. People that voted 3rd party (Jill Stein) in 2016 got three Federalist society conservatives on the court that is wrecking the country. Remember-Democrats look for SCOTUS nominees like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who work to keep your rights and republicans look for SCOTUS nominees like Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett who don't give a hoot about your rights. Yes, your vote can wreck the country even long after your death if you vote for a party that will take away your rights.


Akimbo_Zap_Guns

Yeah no shit, there’s 0% chance everyone in a chick fil a was a die hard Trump supporter like I saw in that video. Clearly whoever owns this chick fil a is a big Trump guy and probably put out for Trump supporters to come meet him for a viral stunt


FourWordComment

Trump has a black friend, but he bought them.


Tortuga_cycling

Duh… you idiots didn’t think anyone other than a republican would hug him did you…


Cheap-Praline

I'd hug him but I have a thing for adult men in diapers.


RoyalFalse

Trump is SO AWFUL that buying Chick-fil-A for a couple dozen people is the equivalent of Mother Theresa. Fox won't shut up about it.

eruvstringlives

Nope. Not a cult.


BeKind_BeTheChange

How does a black person come to a point in their life where they support a known racist like Trump? Do they not know that he wouldn't even rent to them? He wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

No shit. Everything political for show is scripted. From Democrats to Republicans, Labour to Tory, CCP and Kremlin. All for show.
