These are some of the worst people you will ever come across. I hope it gets worse for them.
Things have to get much worse before MAGA utopia can be reached where prices and taxes are low, the streets are clean and you only ever see white faces. Like, way worse.
lololololololololololol
Then get your guns and do your job. You fucking got us into this mess
Well, for a couple… we only have 2. Not an arsenal. Just enough to kill a few zombies trying to break in our house.
I’d prefer they didn’t. They’ll never admit, even tacitly, that they caused this mess. If they pick up guns, it’s gonna be to go back to lynching black people or to annihilate their own families. They will not conceive of any other way out.
I’d prefer they starve.
Then die.
AND THEY STILL SUPPORT HIS STUPID FUCKING ORANGE ASS
TOO
FUCKING
BAD
As always, they don’t care even a little about right or wrong, just about their comfort. These people will never be moral, whenever they act right it’s just because they lack the resources and opportunity to go all out. 🤷
Welcome to the 3rd world, America
Parts of southern US, by every measure, have been worse off than most African countries.
You jumped with a parachute and decided to cut the cords, because who needs a social safety net.
I would say stop voting for republicans but they can’t tie the two things together. All those greedy companies are all somehow run by democrats. Its so… pathetic.
They are, that’s the problem. People are tired of things not getting better.
Well at least now they’re getting worse! Mission accomplished.
Not even half are run by democrats. Magats think they are. You know democrats like musk.
I moved to rural America after living in the city. I just don’t understand why so many farmers have trump signs still up, it’s been a really tough year for farmers and he’s not helped them one bit
Trump is bad for farming, but good on low capital gains taxes.
That ^
and
Sunk cost: They’ve invested 40-60 years of their life programming their worldview with the propaganda.
Scapegoating: It’s not them and their bad choices, it’s the immigrants/democrats/poor siphoning off their resources
The state runs the media. The media informs the masses which people are the enemy/stupid, the masses join together to feel good that they’re not stupid. They put more money into campaign funds to buy signs from the government that’s holding them down, all while feeling self-righteous.
I had read somewhere that a significant part of that is the fact that the only media these people can consume for a large portion of their day is AM talk radio, which is chock full of right-wing propaganda.
IMO the talk radio/podcast fodder has always been the worst of it.
They know it’s opinion, but they suck it up like every statement is a verified fact. When you apply a little logic to it, they take it as a personal assault.
don’t think of MAGA/Trumpism as a political movement. it’s a death cult
They are hateful racists. It’s really that simple
Their racism is ancillary and it’s not that simple. MAGA exploits several rotten elements in rural American society; racism is just one of them
I think the simplest explanation is that they have been conditioned to hate and fear first and do not consider any person innately equal until that person has proven themselves to be worthy of value. To enter the American south, you walk into a minefield of social faux pas and a mire of shibboleths. You fucked up just by driving in with “Yankee” license plates. Hell, you can fuck up by having the wrong county on your plates (which is a thing in the south). For a group of people who hate anything “woke” or involving critical theory, they are a textbook example of intersectionality; their identity is complex and why they don’t like you is even more complicated.
They have been conditioned to distrust anything they don’t immediately understand, dwell peacefully in contradiction, be selectively empathic, and ignore their own self-interests whenever it does not exclusively benefit them. This is the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” and “my true reward awaits in heaven” crowd. You can’t reason with them because they answer to a higher power and it’s all part of god’s plan. And if you make the mistake of quoting scripture at them, they write you off as a know-it-all who has read the Bible but hasn’t read it with your heart.
They are generationally impoverished, both financially and intellectually. The south suffers from massive brain drain and financially successful people are just those that God has blessed. There’s no charity for those outside of their immediate social circle. There’s no such thing as southern hospitality, just public manners. Bless your heart, they’re talking shit before you walk out the door.
Southern society craves authoritarianism and aristocracy because blind respect for authority and power are deeply rooted in their culture and religion (and that’s exactly what the antebellum south was; that’s their “heritage”). Trump promises to make it all great and lift them back into their rightful place because they all think they will be the plantation master.
So people know that you were wrong and you voted for the braindead fat pedo racist? Better to double down
There’s one house in my neighborhood that still has a “TRUMP LOW PRICES | KAMALA HIGH PRICES” sign in their yard. The kicker is that it’s a black family and the house is in a subsidized housing development funded by the county. Just needs a “BEWARE OF FACE-EATING LEOPARDS” sign next to it.
Hammer a sign that says thatninto the ground next to it. Or, maybe write that on it with a sharpie?
100% they won’t understand what it means
That just makes it funnier for everyone else
I also moved to a rural area after living in a city for 20 years, and there is a guy that lives near me that is a farmer and he has a giant hand made sign in his lawn that says “Unvaxed sperm is the next Bitcoin.” You just can’t underestimate how stupid people are. They’ll be nice to you in person and then just butt chug newsmax and racist Facebook memes.
It’s the one-two punch of poor education and the propaganda of our media environment.
“Home delivered freshly made”
“Directly from the producer”
The jokes on that one just write themselves.
Good, go die in a sewer
They’re getting everything they voted for. I’m happy for hem! Congratulations you did it. Great job!
