      No, this is real.

      Roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of this country is in a goofy as fuck, anti-reality, violent and dangerous death cult, called MAGA.

      You know how like in Japan or SK, large wealthy cults have an outsized impact on politics, scandals when it turns out a PM or whoever got a bunch of money from one?

      We elected our cult leader president.

      Thats… thats roughly the framing you need, for this to maybe actually make sense in your brain, as anything other than the worlds grandest reality TV show.


      Yougov recently did a poll.

      https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/54707-how-many-americans-think-they-could-beat-donald-trump-in-a-fight

      On average, 66% of Americans think they could win a fight, an actual fist fight, with Donald Trump.

      10% thought they’d lose, 24% unsure.

      Now break it down by party.

      Democrats:

      75% would win, 5% would lose, 20% unsure.

      Republicans:

      39% would win, 33% would lose, 28% unsure.

      So thats’s 25% of Dems don’t think they’re certain to win, vs 61% of Reps don’t think they’re certain to win…

      … a fight against an obese and literally demented 79 year old with bone spurs, who wears diapers, and is often seen nodding off during meetings.

      You really can only explain something like this by framing the hardcore MAGA folks as delusional, mentally impaired cult members.

      They have Trump Derangement Syndrome, but its the opposite of what they think it is… its North Korea levels of Dear Leader god-king worship.

      Yes, plenty of people with this kind of mentality exist in the USA.

      I don’t know if this particular person is satire or not, and I’m not going to spend any time hunting down their profile to verify.

      The fact that they aren’t blaming Biden in both of these posts makes me think it’s satire, though. Because the very limited exposure I still have in real life to people of this general political persuasion suggests that they’re all about blaming Biden for the current spike in gas and grocery prices. I’ve heard several different variations of why them blame Biden for current gas prices, but it mostly boils down to a nebulous, tangential line of reasoning that Biden didn’t start a war with Iran during his term.

      As though dealing with the consequences of Trump’s disastrous handling of COVID and the economy wasn’t enough, they apparently think Biden should have also been bombing Iran “back to the stone age.”

    Quick, someone ask him how Gavin Newsom managed to raise gas prices here in Pennsylvania, too. And the rest of the country. I genuinely want to hear his reasoning, I think it would be entertaining.

        I get yelled at by my wife and my therapist all the time for saying “I wish I was dumb, because then I’d be happy.”

          The term is ‘ignorance is bliss’ is quite fitting. Ignorance is seen as a negative choice rather than a happy option.

            Surely though, in the days when people didn’t have an explanation for muteness and “deaf and dumb” was said about people, they thought they really were dumb, rather than just mute? Or is that not the connection? I’m just guessing here.

          I once saw a 50 year old woman who weighed about 500lbs, on a mobility scooter running her mouth at another woman in target.

          The other woman just was minding her own business shopping. Then adult power wheels rolls up and starts barking at her to go back to her homeland.

          The woman explained that she was a native american. To which jabba the slut replied “THEN GO BACK TO NATIVE LAND!!!”

          Every fiber of my being was thinking how I should have walked over, turned the key off her hoverround, took the key, and walk away with it. What’s she gonna do? Follow me?

          Still wish I had.

    Newsom didn’t start The Stupidest War Ever. But, I suppose it’s easy to convince stupid people that Newsome is to blame, somehow, even though gas prices are going up everywhere.

      even though gas prices are going up everywhere.

      These fucks never travel anywhere more than one or two counties away, and their only source of information about what happens outside that limited area is Fox News.

      There is no date on the first one, but I’m thinking these two tweets are far apart in time. They are just set up in this image to show the unabashed hypocrisy this fuckwit does just to gargle Trump’s balls.
