Just a money grab. You really are trying to make it into something it's not.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (3 children)

nope. i've personally met people who think they're ready for combat and then showed me one of these 10$ gas station bullshit "knives"

trump followers are exactly that type of person

That's why it's a really good cash grab. They're selling $5 knives with the word trump printed on them for $70 dollars after a 50% discount. They say the knives are rare (only 150 ever made or some bs). their 5 iq brains will be all over this shit

Even a bullshit knife can cut you.

The generalizing of 200M people y'all do is crazy to me. Carrying a knife is very common in rural areas.

But yeah they white labeled a cheap combat knife they thought idiots would think is cool so we're going to start seeing news stories about neo Nazis starting a spree of stabbings with trump combat knives 🙄

There is a pretty clear pattern not just here but on Reddit as well (but much moreso here) of allowing jokes and memes about guillotining people and other violence and nobody cares; but then to turn around and lose their shit over this.

if by "generalizing" you mean claiming to be objectively a better person than anyone who votes for a rapist con man traitor convicted felon, then you're goddamn fucking right-- i am

and please link me to the comments of people "losing their shit" because i don't see any of that in this thread

no one's "pretending" anything. trump voters "ideals" are racism, guns, and jeebus, or some combination of the three

your trolling game needs a lot of work. maybe you should go back to /c/fuckcars and try to defend giant ridiculous dudebro pickup trucks again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There you go again, completely ignoring reality and trying to understand the opposition and just going to turn them all into a singular monster 🤷‍♂️

Bro's trying to pretend 200 million people support Trump and accusing other people of ignoring reality 💀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I guess it'll be a landslide in the election then 🤷‍♂️

How many people do you think live in America?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh, you're being pedantic because I didn't check the 2024 number and say 135. 👍 got me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

He got 74 million votes in 2020, lmao. What number did you think you were checking?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, OP didn't choose to market it as a combat knife.

I'm sure we're going to see a jump in stabbings with trump knives any day now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A money grab for sure but not just... His base is openly getting ready to reclaim the election they already "know" will be stolen. Golden Sneakers and "my" bible are cash grabs ok; combat knife...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean. It isn't even a combat knife. It's just a pocket knife.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Beyond the item itself, my view is that the J6 mob attacked the capitol by reading between the lines/signs of their messiah. What signal does this give?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I think you're reading too much into this specifically but there's definitely a lot to say about why Trump appeals to gravy seals in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Dude I'm not sure where trump hosts the streams of his rallies but whereever it is it has some of the weirdest, sketchiest ads right next to his face
