A conservative will eat a bowl of pig shit if a liberal has to smell their breath.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You know what: I would smell their breath if they’d eat a bowl of pig shit. It’d be worth it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

Now we're owning the conservatives

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

they would still cheer together as a herd how you suffered and post that on twitter as a victory, completely ignoring that they intentionally put shit in their mouth for joy of seeing other suffer.

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

They can cheer from their hospital beds as they get absolutely wrecked from eating pig shit. It won’t bother me none.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

And then complain that all of the snowflake liberals don't want to talk to them anymore.

Can we raise taxes on Trump voters to pay for all of this?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (11 children)

If history repeats itself, China will institute tariffs in such a way so as to target Trump voting states/counties as much as they can.

But this whole thing will be disastrous to us all, to be clear.

"It's hurting you too, so it was worth it."

Don’t forget, the non-voters are just as complicit as the Trumpers.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Ah, yes, that's the solution, sow more division.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 months ago (1 children)

meh. the "let's come to a common understanding" ship sailed long ago

fuck trump, fuck everyone who voted for him, fuck everyone who voted 3rd party, and fuck everyone who didn't vote.

some people will suffer more than others because of this, but you know who won't suffer shit? billionaires, and that was the plan all along

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

The attitude that led to Trumps victory is born of the very belief that the ship sailed long ago. It turns out that when you paint your common man as a villain, their ego is all too happy to oblige. Or just burn out and stay home, calling it someone else's problem.

I'm not sure why you are so eager to blame your common man when you yourself are quick to point out that billionaires are the problem.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I do blame the common man. Shit like this is why I'm a misanthrope. Humanity is so disappointing. Biggest brains imaginable, yet not using them.
Reality is making me a bitter man.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

The common man keeps falling for it when he has an obligation to be better

Not division, just facts. Millions sat on their hands rather than do the bare minimum to forestall whatever the Hell the right wing is going to unleash on us all. There are plenty of reasons why Trump won and lazy shits who wouldn’t vote in light of Project 2025 are absolutely part of the problem. I’d tell you all to go fuck yourselves, but you already did…

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

Right, and that is awful, but it's ignorant and self-defeating of us to make enemies and play the blame game instead of seeking conversations and understanding.

If you tell people this is their fault and make them into the enemy, they will gladly act as the enemy. And they'll blame everyone but themselves, a fact Trump has been far too happy to exploit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No. Going full bore worked for Republicans, I want it in my representatives and peers. No more reaching across the aisle, no more compromise, woke up or die

How do you know that every non voter was going to vote against Trump?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Don’t know that, didn’t say that

[–] scarabine 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes okay what will they do to us? More nothing? Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

They'll choose not to vote again.

Is the goal change or smug self-satisfaction?

Mandatory voting. In Australia you have to pay a fee if you don't want to vote. They seem to like it because it keeps the extremes out.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Right. The problem is that the people who benefit from the way things are happen to be the same ones who can pass the laws necessary to change voting to be mandatory. It’s not happening anytime soon.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Not to mention the fact a majority of this country (the US) is absolutely braindead politically and it will only get worse as the department of education is dismantled from the inside out.

[–] scarabine 4 points 4 months ago

Regardless, it’s a good idea. How many things worth doing should be thrown out because they’re hard to do?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Conversation. Understanding. Not creating enemies out of moderates.

Trump won because he appeals to people that we choose to neglect as simply ignorant, uneducated, stupid, etc. We have to accept that these people get a say, and show them that their decisions with Trump were not in their best interest, instead of continuing to insult them while their ego leads them to shoot themselves in the foot to spite us.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Vote for stupid and you get stupid

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

But I didn't vote for stupid. Why do I get stupid anyway? Fuck. Who let the pigeon into the chess hall? You know they just shit all over the board then strut around like they won.

This is not surprising. It's just another example of conservatives not actually paying attention because they want so, so, so badly to be right about something.

Edit: typo

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Would love to just tax right wingers on everything they voted for.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

How about a choice on the taxes you pay by feature

Big military 5% Big ass military 10% Obama care 10% Duct tape care 2% Decent highways 15% I’ll ride a horse 2%

Responsible government with consequences 20% Corrupt bastards who rape the country 30%

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't matter. They're all just pretend the prices are lower.

"It's a delayed market response to the irresponsible socialist policies of the Biden/Harris administration."

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

Someone I live near said it wouldn't matter because his income would be going up, and his tax burden would get lower, so the tariffs would be off-set. Now his company is cutting everyone's compensation, even the the c-suite, and, if the tariffs really are upwards of 35% on China, they are looking at moving to Europe

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Trump voters would do anything to own liberals. Like, literally. They want to own slaves again...

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

Curl is a good avatar for all these stubborn, ignorant conservatives wearing cowboy hats they didn't earn, forever in their daddy's shadow.

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

"Trickle Down" has nothing to do with tariffs. /pedant

But yeah... any gain a company or industry receives from a tariff will be more than offset by the tariffs other countries impose upon us. The US produces and sells a lot of things world wide.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Well at least Carl came to his senses afterwards. I doubt the same will happen with conservatives

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It was all lies. Still is.
