Getting shot doesn't kill the asshole in you. Trump is still bringing Project 2025. Dems should be saying "Call for violence, and it answers" instead of kissing ass.
Turns out pretending to be an opposition party is wildly profitable. What other job is there where you can work four months out of the year, make millions, and all you have to do is just make a few promises to your district's peons and then claim you're powerless to fulfill them?
That sounds like a winning attitude, bud. If we all voted for a willing candidate, they win. Thats it. So go vote and it doesn't matter if they're tepid bitches. We still beat Project 2025. Chin up, ranked choice is next after this.
So go vote and it doesn't matter if they're tepid bitches.
You're right.
It doesn't. We've seen over the last forty years that it doesn't matter who you vote for. We get a conservative. They rule as a conservative, and because of that, fascism is inevitable.
Yes, your choice is between a conservative and a fascist.
One of these two will murder you. The other won't. How is this even a remotely difficult decision for you?
(also the current "conservative" has supported the biggest expansion in union membership the USA has seen in decades, brought antitrust lawsuits against Amazon and Facebook, and extracted billions in back taxes from Microsoft, just to name a few of the actually legitimately good things the Biden administration has done; "both sides" is bullshit spread by Republicans to keep you from voting)
also the current "conservative" has supported the biggest expansion in union membership the USA
No, he hasn't.
It happened by necessity, because the cost of living has doubled and tripled depending on where you live, meanwhile hundreds of billions that should be aiding Americans are going to other countries' wars.
brought antitrust lawsuits against Amazon and Facebook
And if anything ever comes of it (which I doubt) I'll be happy to give credit. Right now, it's just performative.
extracted billions in back taxes from Microsoft
And also targeted the gig economy by pushing for changes in bank regulations that would require reporting on smaller accounts, just like an asshole conservative would.
I only wish the 'both sides' thing were bullshit, but I guess it'll take another 40 years of empty promises to change your mind.
I'm not going to get into it about the good things that have come out of Biden's presidency, because I don't have to. No matter how bad you think Biden is, it's a provable fact that Trump is worse.
So you can vote for bad or you can vote for worse. This is still a choice that even a concussed child is capable of figuring out. What's your excuse?
It's not a choice, and that's how it's designed to be.
You can't give me a giant douche and a turd sandwich and then pretend you're offering me anything of value, and in our system, they're both just useful idiots for the billionaire class.
Also, I wouldn't go with brain injury metaphors if you're a Democratic partisan.
I have been around the world and I talk to a lot of people.
I haven't even met anyone cool, let alone anyone awesome who knows anything about Trump who likes him.
Abroad, they like trump because "he is rich right?", "he stopped the Muslims? Immigration is poison" or "very funny, very funny guy" and then show me a photoshopped picture of trrmp's head on an oiled muscleman body and laugh wildly for 3 minutes.
"You don't get it? It's funny. He is good. Strong. I love this picture!"
Alright, but like, what the fuck is this post? We saw Trump incite a coup attempt. Even if this Sticker Mule guy hates all of humanity and is trying to lead it to its demise, why would he go all the way into the opposite direction and pretend Trump is all about rainbows and happiness and friendship? Political hate has been part of Trump's platform since day one. You don't exactly support Trump by saying we should stop doing political hatred.
I just followed their instructions to delete my account, citing their CEO's unprofessional use of their mailing list, and my resulting discomfort with them having my mailing address. You may want to consider doing the same.
Kinda reminds me of The Specials' Racist Friend tune, "So if you know a racist who thinks he is your friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end"
How obtuse is this guy. Throughout history being a political official of any variety has always carried an inherent danger. Be the threats external or domestic, chiefs, kings, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, legislators, governors, lords, etc. have all faced existential threat just for the fact that they are in a position of power. Just ask Julius Caesar, or the French bourgeoisie for their take on positions of power being safe. The illusion of safety is just an artifact of the fact that overall the world has been becoming safer over the last 200 years or so. Even still, 7/46 current or past presidents of the US have been killed or injured by gunmen since the inception of the office. That is 15% of all US presidents. I'd call that a pretty dangerous occupation. The best comparison I have is workplace fatalities. There have been 4/46 presidents assassinated in office. That is ~8.6%. The highest mortality job that is reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a roofer, with ~57.5/100,000 or 0.0575%.
Minor abuses of statistics aside, being the POTUS is, and always has been, a dangerous occupation.
You also need to consider someone is president for only 8 years maximum, meaning you can't compare directly with other job mortality statistics, unless you filter for time in position.
That means it's even more dangerous to be president than the above statistics might seem.
Very true. Though the average career length of a roofer is relatively short due to the strain on the body. So they are not completely incomparable. Also, the statistics from BLS are fatalities per 100,000 per year, so the stats are still not directly compatible as the units are not normalized against each other. I would need the statistical average over the last 250 years to normalize properly, but I did call myself out for abusing statistics in my post. It is good enough for conversational comparison, and more than good enough for shutting down some trash victim complex Magasshole like this guy.
Ya, I really love "kind-hearted, compassionate people" who support forcing raped teenage girls to have babies. Because that is what Trump stands for. In fact, it's pretty credible that he raped one himself at Epstein's compound. Those idiots have no clue what kind-hearted or compassionate means.
Ya, I really love “kind-hearted, compassionate people” who support forcing raped teenage girls to have babies.
To quote his "moderate" VP, Ohio's own self-professed Hillbilly JD Vance, "Two wrongs don't make a right". Which isn't a reference to nine months of trauma by the rape victim ending with a newborn dumped in a ditch, while the state turns its back. No. We're talking about the "wrongness" of emergency contraception, folks.
So weird to be alive in a time where I had to stop buying hot sauce from a sticker company because the dude behind it turned out to be a fascist idiot...
They sent a link to this post to everyone who was subscribed to the deals and offers text alerts thing. I can’t imagine a better way to push away customers. My business has already switched over entirely to stickerapp, they’ve got better rates anyhow.
Wait, does Trumper have a notable intentional liking?
Not head of states and of megacorps, like of regular folk?
(Genuinely curious ... eg. I assume countries that USA overbombed to oblivion would generally support something/anything completely different or with a chance to be different?)
I know a lot of Russians support trump because during his presidency he mainly focused on ruining his own country rather than try to make things more difficult for Russia. Before Trump there was Obama, who enacted all kinds of sanctions on Russia, which made him less popular
Yeah, sounds right - all those sanctions mainly hit regular people with hindered access to some v global goods.
Afaik industry didn't suffer all that much (comparably), maybe ironworks the most (but temporary), with financial industry (banks) barely suffering at all (besides local market valuations), even with like a thousand different sanctions and blockades.
Agreed. Political violence is wrong, but honestly I don't think Trump should be surprised that people are trying to kill him after his politics killed and endangered so many vulnerable groups in America and other countries. For example, it somehow feels fair that he's afraid for his life the same way that trans people in america feel afraid for their lives after all of the anti-trans rhetoric that the trump administration has been enforcing, idk if you agree tho.
What makes it even more infuriating is that when he got covid himself, he immediately received world-class care, while so many americans were dying in overcrowded hospitals
I LOVE when the Sticker Mule guy said the same thing after Sandy Hook or when Trump told his followers to Shoot Hilary Clinton or after Pulse Nightclub!
It's funny that saying "what has happened was deplorable" is such a controversional statement here. You don't realize when you have gone so far in one direction that you looped back into being fascist yourself.
People should watch Hotel Rwanda. Or go to the Holocaust Museum. Or just read any fucking history book. We are alive with rights today because people killed fascists and said "fuck that, we are all worthy of respect." We dont walk away from that now just because the fascists can make an internet post of sympathy. We dont stop because its scary, fuck yeah it is. We stop once we've planted a field of daisies that our children have the freedom to stop and smell.
Yeah it does. Because you will be killing "fascists" till your vision of the world appears and anyone in the way will be branded a fascist. Killing makes you a bad person, regardless of who you are killing. If you don't realize that, then there is no saving you.
If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.
It wasn't deplorable, though. It was unfortunate, certainly. Bro felt rushed because the police were closing in on him, so he couldn't do a great job aiming. It's sad, but you can't really fault him for doing his best. Personally, I commend the little guy. What he did took a lot of courage.
"The political hate needs to stop" ? Dude, did you ever listen to like 5 minutes of your beloved candidate's speeches ?
It's hard for him to listen when he orgasms every time his beloved walmart hitler opens his grotesque mouth.
Not possible. Listening to the guy for more than 45 seconds is enough to make anyone want to commit suicide.
Maybe Trump is a Vogon? #hitchhikers
People are scared to admit they support Trump? Have you seen their wardrobe and vehicles?
They just want to use the slurs without people being allowed to get mad about it
They should be scared. They should also be ashamed of themselves for trying to destroy our democracy.
Getting shot doesn't kill the asshole in you. Trump is still bringing Project 2025. Dems should be saying "Call for violence, and it answers" instead of kissing ass.

Then go run yourself out there. You dont have to be an idle watcher. Run for your local government.
It's OK to hate Nazis.
A world where Nazis are afraid is a good one.
I DEFINITELY care what your political views are. Fascists are so dumb. Do they even hear the shit trump says? Are we living in the same universe?
Sometimes it really feels like politics is just a game to some people, and not literal life or death.

Christofascist persecution complex.

EXACTLY
But he is worshipping the fountain of political hate.

I'll take a look. Ty.
Young girls live in fear of Trump, constantly.
"Americans shouldn't live in fear"
Bro sounds like a liberal after a mass shooting.
Get your stickers from Vinyl Disorder instead.
Way better product.
If you love and support a known fascist, rapist, child molester and pathological liar you are neither kindhearted nor compassionate.

It makes sense considering they ran a contest for a cybertruck
People around here have been terrified to put out any democrat related signs for over a decade because of empty ballsacks like Anthony Constantino.
Well shit.
Now I'm glad I never won any games on Doctor Gameshow, back when they were a sponsor lol.

That's a dumb take ... But it got whatever "sticker mule" is (not asking) into the conversation...
Social media post: "Americans shouldn't live in fear of being shot"
OP: "Wow, what a fascist"
Fascist traitors to their countrymen should live in fear. Case closed
Agreed. Political violence is wrong, but honestly I don't think Trump should be surprised that people are trying to kill him after his politics killed and endangered so many vulnerable groups in America and other countries. For example, it somehow feels fair that he's afraid for his life the same way that trans people in america feel afraid for their lives after all of the anti-trans rhetoric that the trump administration has been enforcing, idk if you agree tho.
I bet a lot of families are pissed at him lying about covid and the vaccine, watching their loved ones die and they couldn't be there with them
What makes it even more infuriating is that when he got covid himself, he immediately received world-class care, while so many americans were dying in overcrowded hospitals
One particular American shouldn't live in fear of being shot, because he's Special.
Everyone else can take a Uvalde's worth of hot lead in the ass and cry about it.
I LOVE when the Sticker Mule guy said the same thing after Sandy Hook or when Trump told his followers to Shoot Hilary Clinton or after Pulse Nightclub!

Killing fascists doesn't make you a fascist.
I love how it's always "no one should have to die" until it's brown people poor people or anyone in the global south that the fash hates.
People should watch Hotel Rwanda. Or go to the Holocaust Museum. Or just read any fucking history book. We are alive with rights today because people killed fascists and said "fuck that, we are all worthy of respect." We dont walk away from that now just because the fascists can make an internet post of sympathy. We dont stop because its scary, fuck yeah it is.

It sounds like you’re saying there’s no such thing as a justified killing of a human.
Think that through a little more.
