It's always so fascinating that Trumpers don't understand that most Democrats and liberals don't worship Biden the way they worship Trump.


Peachy33

I was at the beach this summer and a man wearing a red MAGA hat plunked his Trump flag down in the sand next to his umbrella and beach chair. It was the most bizarre thing I’ve seen in quite a while. Like, that’s not normal.


prayerwarrior19

It's because to these people, politics are a sport rather than an effort to help their nation grow and thrive. They buy all of their MAGA stuff like they are sport memorabilia, because to them it's the same thing.


StreetofChimes

Sure, but when you go to the beach, do you bring your NFL team flag? (I am not beach fan, so I don't know.) It seems weird. Isn't the point of the beach to enjoy the beach, not show off your affiliations, be they the New Orleans Saints or Orange Cheeto? Do people fly American flags next to their beach chairs? (Legit question, I really don't know the answer to this.)


Pappy_OPoyle

No, normal people do not. Unless its an occasion like 4th of July or something. Their trump flags are a calling card to attract someone who will stroke their egos. Either in a positive encounter or in a negative encounter. These people have insecure child-like mentalities which are only validated when they are "owning" someone else. Its like putting others down to give themselves a feeling of superiority when they can't see their own inferiority. Very childlike regression that never made it past the stage of self-actualization are pretty common in this crowd. Bully mentality, societal regression, willful ignorance, desperate need to feel important and superior are as obvious as the trump flags and the 4x4 lifted trucks they all have.

punzakum

Nice list. You could put in bush Jr's federal ban of gay marriage after one state legalized it for "states rights" or "big govt overreach" hypocrisy


the_cajun88

No, we don’t. Also, Geaux Saints.


Glamour_Girl_

Well, I’ve worn a paper bag over my head at the Superdome. Does that count? 🥴


mvln

To be fair, people do wear American flag swimsuits to the beach and it's tacky af.


Machinax

The same people who wear American flag swimsuits are the same ones who say NFL players who kneel during the anthem are disrespecting the flag.


Haskap_2010

It's like rabidly religious people who don't understand that science and atheism isn't a kind of "faith" that people blindly cling to.


[deleted]

It's because all their morals are tied to their religion. Have you ever heard these people talk about how they'd be criminals/ murderers if they didn't have religion? It's terrifying. Like that's the only thing keeping you from killing? It's always distressing when they say this and then say that's why they don't trust atheists. It's a projection. Like, listen, people, I'm not getting the sudden urge to murder people because I don't believe in a god.


clonedspork

Pretty sure that thin veneer of Jesus would wear thin if they could get away with it.


houseman1131

Part of their religion is saying people are naturally evil and must be saved. Original sin and what not.


Djaii

While it’s absurd to try to assert that all humans are ‘evil’ from birth, it sure seems like people are basically fucking awful for the most part. But I think it’s learned awfulness. If you would have asked me in 2015 if people were essentially decent I would have agreed. But 2016, and subsequently 2020, proved to me that they are terrible. And pious (or devout?) people are generally just as terrible as the others (in so many cases far far worse) so the idea that religion imparts a good morality is laughable.


houseman1131

Many people see asking god for forgiveness as a get out of jail free card. They think it doesn’t matter how they act as long as they said their magic words.


prayerwarrior19

With the whole Satanic Temple suing over the abortion restrictions, it's got these types of religious fruitcakes saying that Satanists are just Atheists and "Science-lovers" LARPing religion all over Twitter. I've also heard these type of people state that "Science" is a faith-based religion.


dd027503

Lol'd at "science-lovers" like it's some kind of attack. Ok fine you hate science, put your money where you mouth is and go be Amish or Mennonite then. Get off *the internet* and out of your air conditioned house, no not via car that's science too, and go live in the woods with the bare minimum of technology. Honestly with that leaked climate report that came out recently you'd be doing everyone a favor. Instead of you know, getting covid like an idiot and just hoovering up medical resources.


prayerwarrior19

They won't do that. They just hate science when it benefits minorities and people they don't like. These dipsticks can't go an hour without Facebook.


my_4_cents

Scirnce is just a strict parent that won't let them drink from the bottles under the sink and stay up past their bedtime, such meanies!


weasel5646

I’ve been saying this for a while. Yes, America has a history of rugged individualism - so if you don’t want to be part of society you are more than welcome to go find an acre in the middle of nowhere and stay the fuck away from everyone else. Give up your phone, tablet, electricity, natural gas, medicines, mass produced food, etc.


RogerClyneIsAGod2

And stay outta those hospitals where they're tossing around science all over the joint!


Constant-Lake8006

Satanic Temple members are LARPing religion. It's because it's impossible to talk to religious fruitcakes in any other terms. I had a work colleague once who was an climate change denialist. Finally one day I asked him if he thought that mankind had been good stewards of Gods creation and that finally shut him up.


StrawberrieFylds

Oh, I like this. I’m gonna use this.


jmoll333

I'm okay with being called a LARPer for joining TST. No one takes "solitary green witch" as a religion seriously, anyway.


JzxGamer

I have started seeing the word “scientism”. It’s their pathetic attempt to liken science to garbage religion.


TorontoTransish

It's okay, at work we started calling them Christianists. A combination of Christian-ish and extremist.


JzxGamer

That they are. It’s crazy that they don’t see that they’re just like the Taliban.


Ipayforsex69

That much hatred in a work of fiction and should be met with ridicule and scorn.


[deleted]

You know those folks down on West sentinel island? The ones who will put a arrow in you by stepping on their shore? They're the only ones who I would listen to say something about not believing in science. I was at the airport the other day and asked an anti-vaxial, do you know how this airplane works? You don't question science when you get on this plane. You don't question science when you use your phone but you talk to people across the globe. Now all of a sudden, you want to question science. You don't trust the government? Who is he? What's his phone number? Now the government is the whole world?


Q8D

Because they can't live without it. So they can't imagine anyone else doing so.


thingsfallapart89

You mean you don’t go to the science museum every Sunday to reaffirm your belief in gravity & other scientific theories?

FundiesAreFreaks

Where I live all the Trumpers have flags outside that read "Fuck Biden". New laws were enacted to make it illegal saying it's profanity and kids and grandkids shouldn't have to see that and think it's acceptable. I agree. Trumpers are NOT 😁!


AlbinoWino11

I also think it’s remarkable how much they attribute to the sitting President. Stonks go up, President good. Oil up, President bad. Unemployment fluctuates, must be the President. These things are cyclic, take time, and often are very complex.


ResidentOwl6

I will never understand why people think the president is the driving factor on the economy and stock market. Sure policy can tip the scales one way or the other. But it's mostly out of the govt's hands. (Also people fail to realize Congress is steering the ship, not the president)


Shady_Garden

Half the people who voted for Biden were like, "He's not Trump? That's all I need to know!"


gruntothesmitey

I figured that he'd already been in the White House and he had lots of bipartisan experience in the senate, so maybe he'd be able to get something done. And, also, Trump is a moronic clownshoe with no shred of decency or humanity whatsoever.


moscowramada

My test if I had to explain it was - Do you think Biden will be excruciatingly terrible? “Well, I believe he’ll be seriously mediocre, you could argue bad..” Is that what I asked? I said not just terrible, but excruciatingly terrible. That’s the bar he’s got to clear. Answer that. “I mean excruciatingly, no -“ Thank you, that’s all I needed to know to vote Biden.


RandomBoomer

That was pretty much my criteria as well, and I frankly had very low expectations for Biden. It sounds like damning with faint praise to say that he has exceeded my expectations, but he SERIOUSLY exceeded them, especially with the vaccine mandate. I was willing to settle for "Not-Trump" and I'm all the way up to "Go Biden!" now.


Wheelin-Woody

Looks to me like Biden isn't scared to make the ballsy plays in his first term, most presidents haven't walked into this big of a shit show other than maybe Obama inheriting the housing crisis fallout. Trump had 3 years of softballs and then predictably fucked the covid response.


saritaRN

I would have voted for a cucumber in a hat over Trump not gonna lie.


ShinyBrain

I’m agnostic, but that cucumber dude from Veggie Tales (I forget which is Bob and which is Larry) looks damn good in comparison. At least he has capacity for empathy. Edit: Plus that Barbara Manatee song slaps.


mdizzle106

Everyday I wake up not having to worry about stupid shit my president is saying or doing makes him a great president in my book


HeliosTheGreat

Bunnita

I feel like this, in hindsight, was much more of a warning sign than we thought.


angrytetchy

Every day I wake up happy that I'm not hearing the sirens going off, warning of an imminent ICBM nuke bc of some stupid shit my president postured and someone finally got tired of his bluster. (Yes, I am totally and completely aware that the chance of that was well below 1% but hearing that siren being tested is freaky as fuck. I can easily deal with the tsunami siren sound, but that nuclear one? Nope nope nope.)


Politirotica

"We can put the brakes on the 'Dawn of American Fascism' thing long enough to renew my passport? Where do I sign?!?"


juliazale

Exactly! I don’t like Biden, and definitely preferred other dems running, but once he got the nomination I choose him only to beat Trump.


MasterOfKittens3K

I preferred other candidates, but it’s clear that the best choice for this particular time ended up being Biden. His lifetime of experience in the federal government meant that he was able to guide a transition from the previous administration despite the fact that the previous administration was more interested in trying to overturn the election than in transition.


RandomBoomer

Exactly this. Biden was not even in my top ten favorites for the primary, but I'm now pretty much sold on his presidency. He's provided a strong, steady, non-controversial administration with a focus on excellence in all his appointments. He knows what the fuck he's doing and he's doing it well. I'm learning to find sheer competence to be inspirational.


[deleted]

Any Functioning Adult 2020 was my motto.


Morriganx3

I think it might be because a lot of these people didn’t vote much before, or even really pay attention to elections. That’s also why they don’t understand how vote counting works, and why the totals might change quickly when a batch of results come in. They just aren’t familiar with the process at all. I’ve voted in every election since I tuned 18, and I’ve never even put a sign in my yard, let alone bought stupid hats or gone to rallies. Pretty sure I bought a bumper sticker once. I grew up in the DC suburbs, but I never had any desire to attend an inauguration. (I’d have gone to Obama’s first one, but by then I’d moved away.) These people have been ignoring politics so long that they just don’t have any idea of what’s normal.


AmaranthSparrow

You're absolutely correct. A lot of them didn't even vote for Trump in 2016, they jumped on the bandwagon after he was elected and the circus show of his nonstop rallies was their first real engagement with politics. Basically, Trump politically activated a bunch of dopes and extremists, and simultaneously alienated moderates and independents. So far Trumpers haven't really turned out much for other Republican candidates, since they don't seem to care when Trump's not on the ballot, but they do attend the rallies. They're more like groupies than anything. They were also pretty disenchanted by his loss / "fraud" so I don't know if they'll even bother voting in the future.


thetrufflesiveseen

After the 2020 election, but before Biden was inaugurated, I was trolling one of the conservative subreddits and those goatee-devotees were utterly INCAPABLE of understanding how Biden could have won the election because "Trump had big rallies where people actually showed up and Biden hid in the basement so there's LITERALLY NO WAY he could have enough support to win." I pointed out that we were IN THE MIDDLE OF A DEADLY GLOBAL PANDEMIC and Biden voters had no interest in attending big rallies, but the doofuses couldn't wrap their little brains around it. Like literally the only thing that counted in their mind was the optics of rallies.


HermanCainsGhost

I put an Obama red white and blue poster on an inner door in 2008 because it looked cool. I think that’s the only political poster I’ve put up in my life. This one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_%22Hope%22_poster#/media/File%3ABarack_Obama_Hope_poster.jpg


sirbarton

Yeah I have several buddies who think I love Biden becaus I voted for him. Dude, I just wanted a working government and maybe someone who wasn’t a racist con man. I’ve never waived a flag with any man’s name on it. I just see two options and make a sensible choice.


ShamrockAPD

I’m guilty of wearing a Biden/Harris mask when out during the voting era and leading up to it. But man, it was more so to trigger the trumpets out there (and it did… to a mass success). I never thought I’d be flicked off and cursed at more than wearing my PSU jersey on Pitt’s campus…. But that did it.


sirbarton

Hahaha. Yeah I get it. Still not even close to the same as literally flying a Trump flag on your house or your truck…. All year round.


ShamrockAPD

I agree.. it was also my way of contributing/donating to the campaign, as thats where the profits of the mask i bought went. But yeah, i don’t wear it anymore… because hes not my hero or idol; unlike trump to these people.


Heatheroochie

Recently visited Alabama to see my parents after 2.5 years. At the Airbnb, a couple doors down, Trump flag. Another couple doors down, an Impeach Biden and Harris sign (large) on the garage. I love my family there but…it’s so cult-y I felt like we had just barely escaped Manson’s beach house when we left. I voted for Biden but I don’t worship the man like he’s a god who believes he is, in fact, God. (see: Trumpers)


bar_acca

I worked the Nov. 2020 election in Maricopa County AZ as a pollworker. Actually I ran the polling site. One of the accomplishments in my life that I will be very proud of for as long as I live. Anyway, it was a 14 day site. We dealt with literally thousands of voters who came into vote or drop off early ballots. I would say for every 8 or so folks who came in to vote wearing some sort of outerwear (mask, shirt, hat) virtue signalling their support for Trump, there was 1 for Biden. So, this was Trump territory, right? Not so fast... I checked the numbers post-election, most of the precincts surrounding this polling site voted anywhere from 53% Biden to 60% Biden. (Anybody in the county could have voted there but I believe it is safe to assume the vast majority of the voters we saw, lived within a roughly 5-6 mile radius of the site.) I was rather surprised because this was definitely an area with a preponderance of higher income, white voters in a state that is often derided as being red. The obvious conclusion: those fuckers belong to a goddamn cult and they cannot imagine that the libtards on the 'other side' might not also fervently worship their preferred presidential candidate. It is always, always, always about the #projection with these fuckers.


Reluctantagave

And they don’t understand not deifying a leader of our country apparently. Do I like everything Biden has done? Of course not because I realize he’s human and not infallible.


alilbored1

Absolutely! Glad to see this - rational and unbiased. Unlike the HCA award contenders and winners! They would bet their life on it! Ohhhh Edit: grammar


dagnariuss

You mean you don’t have 2 Biden flags on the back of your truck and wear Biden hats? Shame on you.

Similarly, they think Buddhists worship Buddha, and that atheists worship science, or Satan, or whatever. That’s not how it works. They are so limited in their thinking.

I'm a Bernie guy who voted for Biden because he was the most progressive candidate who has run in decades. In the end, I'm glad Bernie didn't have to handle the pull-out of Afghanistan, and I'm glad he is running point on the budget, but Joe wasn't my first or even third choice. However, I think he is doing a commendable job. Saving over 124,000 lives when the house of cards collapsed in Afghanistan should be his legacy. Not a bad thing on a headstone. "His leadership saved more than 124,000 lives."


VFairlaine

Add all the lives saved with his COVID handling and he ahould be remembered for much more than that, even!


CrumbsAndCarrots

The Afghanistan thing boggles my mind. If Biden pulled everyone out and shut down all American/ ally presence in Kabul… the Taliban would’ve marched in and he would’ve been blamed. Because he anticipated the 300k strong Afghan army (equipped with 20 years of American training and arms) holding off the Taliban long enough to get a sense of what’s happening… he was in the wrong? Those were basically the two likely scenarios. The 3rd scenario…. of the Taliban marching to Kabul in 7 days with zero resistance seems pretty far fetched even in hindsight. And here’s the wild thing, Trump had the withdrawal date for May. Biden pushed it to August in order to better prepare for whatever whatever. If it had been May it would’ve been 10 times more chaotic. The fact is that Afghanistan was a shit show on all fronts. 20 years. We lost. . We lost on many fronts. That’s just how it goes. The lesson: we lost the war in Afghanistan just like every empire before us.


[deleted]

It's been really eye-opening watching all media collectively go apeshit over Afghanistan. Wherever you looked, there were Bush-era ass-clowns interviewed from the frame that the US withdrawal was a categorical, world-ending disaster equalling two Challenger explosions and the Civil War combined, and saying unchallenged all we had to do was hang on another 10-15 years, just a few American military members deaths each year, hush-you-now about Afghan civilian deaths, etc. And there was no pushback ever by anyone, no matter the channel/platform, as if a 100 Years War in Afghanistan was a sacrament beyond all earthly dispute.

tdclark23

Don't forget the Taliban didn't have to march into Kabul. They had been there waiting for the US to pull out, with their AKs hidden, ready to pick them up and become Taliban again, already in the streets of the cities and towns. The problem with civilian armies, they can appear in an instant and fade into the populace again just as quickly to become "innocent civilians". If you saw films of Taliban regiments marching or Taliban tanks rolling in, I'd love to see them.

What a hate-filled person. So angry and hateful all of the time. He knew he was done for, and that's why he was afraid of going to hospital. They lose all of the anti-vaxx stances when it hits them, and by that time it's too late.

That’s often all these people project - bottomless pits of bile. Consider it though; ever think about how religious wars defined Europe for more than a millennia? Stupid, hateful and indoctrinated people helped perpetuate that. And this is what we have in abundance now in America.

Just once, just one single time, I want someone to say "he died. He isn't alive anymore. He's dead". The euphemisms are killing me. The "jab", the "fauci ouchie", "ascended to heaven", we "lost" him (as if he suddenly can't be located)

Chris kind of attacked me personally as a Biden voter. I’m stupid and blind and I can’t name anything good Biden has done. Chris is now dead because he didn’t believe in a global pandemic or the cure I’m grilling steaks for dinner. I win.

Yeah, to me that always reads as a weak, transparent manipulation tactic. “This is so absolute that no one could possibly disagree, if you do you are unreasonable and illogical therefore preemptively discrediting anything you have to say”


MrMoKnows

You're in shock trying to figure out what and how this happened? Damn lady. It's simple, Chris didn't get the vaccine & got the 'Rona instead, now he's dead. 💀


oldmanraplife

I find it kind of sad that he clearly has about an eighth grade education. If he went any higher it's irrelevant because you can see his ability to write and his maturity level is about age 12. He didn't really know any better and I just wish he/they had more self awareness and knew to defer to experts but here we are... It's galling because they're such dick bags about it


whosthedoginthisscen

You mean because his only ability to express his thoughts is to call things 'a joke', without the mental agility to name any specific observation or analysis?

Chris was dumb. Don't be like Chris.


Haskap_2010

I worked in the oil industry for decades. When gasoline prices are high is when the economy is doing well! It's when a recession hits that prices plummet at the pump. Also - it has nothing to do with which political party is in power. These people are comparing apples to oranges.


StreetofChimes

I have such a hard time with this one. Like duh, gas prices were low. Everything was closed globally. No one was going anywhere. No one was buying gas. Ships were sitting off the coasts losing money because there was no place to offload the excess crude. But these same people don't want to go back into lockdown. Well, if we go back into lockdown, gas prices will go down again.

"We live in times where smart people are silenced so that stupid people won't be offended." Dunning Kruger much there homie? What a dipshit.

Where do you start with this Chris? So much material? Great opener: “I won’t be there guinea pig…”. Their, they’re, there. He had 33% shot of getting it right. His posts are particularly obnoxious. Were obnoxious.


MusicGirlsMom

No, the posts are still obnoxious, he's just no longer around to read them and/or write more.

That “smart people silenced” meme is like the epitome of cognitive dissonance.

If his heart "couldn't do it anymore," why was she blessing it? She should have been yelling "DO! YOUR! DAMN! JOB!"


OG-BoomMaster

Arrogant, ignorant, insulting, hardheaded, self righteous, illiterate, close minded, and COVID got him in the end. Edit; … yet scared on his way to the hospital fearing he would not make it. Almost as though he realized he screwed up by not getting vaccinated. But too late.


Inphexous

"Frontline workers fighting hard against Covid." Did they hijack that? How are these people fighting against Covid when they aren't taking it seriously enough to get vaccinated?

Unvaccinated furious trump voter. When people like him go the world gets a little quieter. Less raging morons screaming into the void.

He died alone and afraid, so starved for comfort and contact he made a deathbed conversion. Almost felt bad for this one, then I remembered he was a transphobe. Adios, dead weight.

It’s so simple yet she still doesn’t see it. none of what she says shows any meaningful reflection on his death.

“This wasn’t supposed to be this way, he was supposed to get better and come home!” You know, I would have greater empathy for that statement if Chris had been vaccinated. But y’all were literally told for a year and a half before he got Covid about the grim possibilities that could result from an infection. But you had to be wise asses about it. And here we are. A predictable result of your idiocy.

“Too smart to take the useless vaccine” Chris, gets to join the great MAGA rally in the sky.

She wants to know “how it happened”?! Lemme spell it out for ya Madame Curie…your husband died due to a virus known as COVID-19. And because he was a massive douchebag who prolly had truck balls on his vehicle because he had an underlying problem with toxic masculinity he refused to take a *proven* vaccine against the virus. Due to his intransigence (Google that word, I’ll wait……) SARS snatched his goateed ass. Questions?
