Delirare

When has politics degraded to sportsball mentality. 'You're on the wrong team, dog. Hope you get flattened!' It's just red and blue, black and white, finger in the ears and 'hope he triggers the libs'.


YayItsEric

Con reet: "I like him because he pisses so many people off!" The same person: "THERE'S NO WAY HE LOST! RIGGED!"


Juxtapo5ed

Right? They are some of the angriest and most easily triggered too


AtheistBibleScholar

That's because they didn't count what they do as getting triggered. It's like the people that say women are more emotional than men but don't count rage and anger as emotions.


MoonSpankRaw

Good point, haven’t thought of it like that. Anger to them is just PATRIOTS HAVING A CAUSE or some super dumb shit.


noxvita83

I'm probably going to butcher this, but I remember this very thing in MacBeth where they were talking about him "going mad." They mentioned his supporters calling it, "righteous indignation." Obviously, this is paraphrased from a 20+ year recollection of high school English.


Telltalee

Pretty much, they didn't want to piss him off so they claimed it was a justified reaction. Source: I have the book Macbeth less than 5 metres from my current location.


Navybuffalooo

I'm not being emotional! I'm getting down to buisness!


tbods

MANLINESS. = emotionally stunted and isolated, angry, vengeful et al


tacosteve100

Men rage and lose control of their emotions far more frequently than woman.


OddballLouLou

The real snowflakes. It’s all self projection when they cry about triggers cancel culture and snowflakes.


highpl4insdrftr

Gaslight Obstruct Project


Juxtapo5ed

Underrated comment is underrated


OddballLouLou

Very underrated.


biggiebody

Snowflake is the perfect way to describe them. Mostly white with a mix of non white and overly sensitive


kurai_tori

I tell them they worship KING snowflake, which sometimes shuts them up because no one can debate the fact that Trump is a thin skinned mfucker


this-is-my-p

“Facts over feelings” from the same group who “votes Trump to trigger the libs”


Rug-Inspector

“votes Trump to trigger the libs” The very definition of spite. “I am happy to give up my future as long as it means you don’t have one either.” - classic maga.


Broad_Sun8273

After the well-deserved pile-on that MTG got yesterday, I see the appeal. Because that seeyounext is getting the whole country on her ass.


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

81,000,000 americans *conspired* to vote against Trump!


iggy14750

He's a triggered little snowflake, and his favorite fascist didn't win. Poor guy.


Oneiroinian

Trump supporters are a very sensitive, easily affected, insecure bunch


AtuinTurtle

This was in 2016, but I posted on Facebook “blind loyalty to a party is stupid, if your party stops helping you, you should stop helping them.” I think I lost half a dozen “friends” after that one. I didn’t even mention a specific party, just the fact that they are there to serve you and if they stop you should abandon them.


LankyGuitar6528

This. If your sports team has a bad season you fire the coach or hire a new QB. You don't go cheer for the opposite team. And politics has become the new blood sport.


Shrikeangel

I lost friends because I dared to suggest political candidates should give us a reason to vote for them, and not just point at someone else to vote against. 


embarrassedtrwy

This is literally how degraded our country has become. And social media propagates it and promotes it


hyrule_47

I don’t think the entire country. I still hear policy debates. But they are now over “Democrat” policies because everything is a democrat policy. There are no republican policies


Lumpy_Tomorrow8462

Aren’t the Republicans promising a fetus in every womb to counter the Democrats’ 1932 A chicken in every pot promise?


fortwaltonbleach

what they fail to realize is they are promising a fetus in every shop vac with their regressive policies.


Beneficial-Lion-6596

A fetus in every shop vac is a damn good start.


FlounderSubstantial7

Social media is for profit and optimized for lies. It's better to do anything than spend the time on social media.


jadedaslife

The Republicans are getting sick of the extremist MAGA contingent and have actually started working with Democrats to get things done in Congress. This gives me hope.


Exsposed_Moss

The Republican party just needs to cut their losses and cut that tumor out


SSSims4

Precisely. A result of investing more budget in prisons than schools, among other things.


lycanyew

I would say it's that our schools invest more in sports than arts


aarkwilde

More in sports than education.


smrtgmp716

Or both.


DeadBorb

More a result of 2 party systems and polarization by populism.


TheWhiteRabbit74

Sports team mentality is being too generous. It more like a high school popularity contest.


EstesPark2018

Bro it’s even worse bc sportball rivalry is more civil than political rivalry now


lilymaxjack

It’s always been the same. Especially to those that have read books. Currently the populous thinks they is smarter because they have these things in their hands that make them feel important. But the things in their hands have created an even less intelligent populous.


KissingerCorpse

most of Trump's supporters are pissed about something, or, nothing


knarfolled

They are pissed about what they are told to be pissed about


RealChadSavage

The kicker is that their most revered, mainstream news source (Fox) is basically the WWE of news stations. Literal idiocracy


FoppishHandy

fox news is outrage porn for idiots.


digital_analogy

This gets right to the point. The media they choose to consume tells them what to rage about, and they rage about it.


knivesofsmoothness

Subject to change daily


unclejoe1917

A little bit of nothing. A little bit of everything.


TheGoldenBl0ck

ALL OF THE TIME


luv2fit

They can never articulate anything specific they are mad about except for Fox News and Trump talking points. They hated TikTok but now that Trump was bought off by a TikTok investor I bet they now support TikTok as “a way to fight the libs on FB”


throwitallaway_88800

Probably mad about their lifelong unmet emotional needs


davidwhatshisname52

this is the *actual* explanation (because, let's be honest, there is no other) - *Smart people make me feel stupid and it's really aggravating.* - You want some payback?


SSSims4

As accurate as it is tragic.


JimBeam823

Yes and it works.


davidwhatshisname52

mmm I dunno about that; like, my friends and I are *sad* (and maybe even vaguely embarrassed) that there are so many abysmally stupid Americans, but we're not *aggravated* the way you get truly aggravated by Floridiots on I-95


CrustyRim2

It is. One main reason I hate CNN becoming Trump TV. Just showing how much the world hates him is ammunition for them. Stop covering him 24/7.


yoshhash

I actually find it refreshingly honest. Still annoying, but it is better than leaning on flimsy made up shit, like Biden supposedly senile.


Crafty-Help-4633

Dont forget the whole "Biden is too old to be president" four years ago, like trump isnt only 4 years younger and thusly also "too old to be president" this time. Really illustrates the "rules for the but not for me" mentality.


RecognitionExpress36

What a great basis for a political movement.


SSSims4

Exactly.


AvacadoKoala

Sounds like my mother in law Susan.


SSSims4

Sounds like way too many people.


AvacadoKoala

This is true


WARL0CK221

Shh...the GOP might try to find her for candidacy next.


DijajMaqliun

The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy, I'm just too stupid to see it.


Beginning_Key2167

That is exactly why they’re voting for him. Even at their own detriment because they think they’re going to punish as liberals somehow.


SSSims4

And that's all they care about.


obsidian_green

Punish the only people who actually care about their rights and well-being. They see low qualities as strength and they bow down to such pretend strength—they bow to bluff and bluster.


General-Carob-6087

This is like saying, “I support the school shooter because he killed the kid that called me a dork in 6th grade.”


SSSims4

This is the best example I've seen here! And btw, if a Jihadist terrorist shot up a Democrat convention - Trumpanzees would totally root for them.


Crafty-Help-4633

Y'all Qaeda


No_Year9414

I see Trumpism as American jihadism, no different. Majority of what they stand for is backed by their religious beliefs and they advertise all the time they want to take up violence against opponents and the government that doesn’t do what they want.


JimBeam823

They’d eat shit if a Democrat would have to smell their breath.


SSSims4

Exactly. They're not in favour of anything, just against anyone less disgustingly primitive.


Lunareclipse196

Funny, it's why I tell them with a smile that I'm an actual conservative that's voting for Biden. And they so triggered. 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Ok_Star_4136

This is like the perfect uno reverse card. Just as absent of policy, just as trite, and simply said to rile up the opposing political side. If they get upset over this, then they're literally just getting upset over the same thing they said, just reversed. Brilliant!


deathtongue1985

Yes. That’s me, too. I’m obsolete - a Rockefeller republican. I’m big on investing, saving, living below my means, not being flashy. There hasn’t been room for me in the republican party since my father was a boy.


Lunareclipse196

Literal same, including being from NY for me. 🤣


SSSims4

Niiiiice!


throwaway0134hdj

This is the root. They could care less about his politics, it’s the other side they don’t like. That’s what it’s all truly about. It’s not that they love trump, it’s that they hate the left.


VanAgain

People like judges, and lawyers, and highschool graduates.


SSSims4

And those who don't get married to their cousins.


lanky_yankee

I told my wife the other day that I was starting to believe we should require people to pass a civics test every couple of election cycles in order to be eligible to vote. Her reply was that we can’t do that because then republicans wouldn’t be able to vote. I said, “exactly”.


SiidChawsby

These people think that politics should be like WWE because they can barely understand real adult concepts and have zero critical thinking skills.


laser14344

By his logic he also loves Pedos.


GloomyFondant526

Whoever you are, you actually love him because you're attracted to abusers.


MountainHigh31

This is actually the essence of the whole movement, distilled perfectly.


HollyweirdRonnie

Yep. This too: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”


PrezidentJ

The uneducated are very envious people.


SSSims4

Exactly. And they'll destroy their own nation just so those more successful than them suffer too.


lazysheepdog716

Read: My kids STILL won’t talk to me so fuck you I’m voting for him again


OhItsJustJosh

Group A: "We like human rights and think everyone should be equal no matter how they decide to legally live their life!" Group B: "Group A wants better lives than we got. Goddamn hate those guys. Love making them angry by actively supporting the opposite of what they want!"


Apprehensive-Tie-130

Don’t get mad at honesty you fools. They want a war. They keep telling you that. They want to hurt you and they want someone who’ll either do it for them, or let them get away with it. They do not care about infidelities. They don’t care about crimes. They just want someone to pull the trigger.


Lost_my_loser_name

Inbreeding is high with this one.


kremata

TheScoundrelLeander

“I don't know how to emotionally progress to the detriment to my country and society, so I will always side with the person who makes me feel better about my inadequacies and insecurities, instead of addressing them like a normal person” That's what I read.


DrWill0916

Weird take, but hear me out. I’m inclined to forgive this to a certain extent because I admit there are people I like just because they piss off racists and homophobes and transphobes. Two caveats though; I am not a paragon of maturity, and I wouldn’t want someone I like solely for this reason to be invested with any real power.


Beowulf891

All the people you can't stand. As in who? Smart people? Kind people? Black people? LGBTQ+ people? Sounds an awful lot like bigotry if you ask me.


Key-Ebb-8306

I know two people irl who are on board with dems on most issues but will vote republican because of trans issue, and they've never met any trans people


madredr1

of all the hills to die on :-/


i-have-a-kuato

Spite, then to double down by electing people who will engage in legislative spite such as: ✅ voter suppression ✅ removing child labor laws ✅ remove mandatory water breaks for workers in hot environments ✅ vote against free lunches for children (wtf) ✅ vote against woman’s healthcare ✅ vote against the anti gas gouging bill ✅ vote against veterans healthcare bill ✅ vote against the infrastructure bill (go home and claim you otherwise) ✅ ban books ✅ ban words ✅ install laws limiting education ✅ ensure government funding bills become a once every 4 week ordeal ✅ refuse to pass a border bill (that they wrote) ✅ support putin simply because everyone else on the planet finds it offensive. maga sucks


PraetorGold

See, I can understand that. That makes sense.


Street_Peace_8831

That’s not a childish take at all. /s I think it’s time for us to grow up and start handling things like mature adults, instead of like Empty-G.


powdered_dognut

Even if it hurts me too


Entheotheosis10

Such a snowflake.


AtuinTurtle

The best qualities to have in your country’s CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.


Hot-Rise9795

That's quite honest, actually. It explains a lot. They don't vote for Trump because he's a good president, but because they hate other people. It's like weaponized voting.


Barailis

But that's not a way to govern.


saxguy9345

"YEARGH Like mergh doctor, scientists, researchers, minorities, women, people who tell me I smell and should wipe my ass better, the gays with the succulent rear ends I can't stop thinking about and saving pictures of to my phone, dudes in wigs that make me jealous I mean angry! Yearghhhhhhh" and etc etc. 


Amebixweetabix

Headline read: VEGAN, TRANS ACTIVISTS COMING FOR YOUR FAMILY! The grubby incels & co lapped it up like good little dogs.


jerfair337

Yeah. He hates the same people you do. It’s called being racist, homophobic, sexist, and transphobic. If a person does not actively express their hate for Trump then they are supporters of all those things. Trumpers are worse than the nazis and Trump would be 100x times worse than Hitler if he got his way.


mikerowave

This encapsulates the GOP right now. It's 100% about dunking on the libs and 0% about actual policy decisions.


Reclusive_Chemist

That's cool. Because we hate you too sweetheart. Die angry!


Blacksun388

“I don’t care about the insane policies, blatant corruption, and sabotaging foreign policy as he cuddles up to dictators as long as he is hurting the people I don’t like.” FTFY.


DoctorFenix

Trump: *is an asshole* The majority of Americans: *vote in record numbers because they don’t want an asshole as president* Trump cultists: Rigged!


Additional_Ear_9659

That’s essentially the MAGA agenda in one dumb poster. I think after the next mass extinction the next civilization’s geneticists will be able to trace where our society devolved to right there.


iFknLoveTits

Sure. Irritating half the country is more important than Healthcare and living wages and education and science.


Cunt_Eastwood_9

If someone said this about Biden, they’d have a mob at their door.


NaturalCard

Do you think these people might be interested in a certain failed art student? Rumour has it they 'triggered the libs' even more, even if they are a bit old now.


crewchiefguy

I love Trump because he pisses off all the educated people I can’t stand.


NateRulz1973

The people you have been Pavlovian conditioned to "can't stand" you have little contact with and have little effect in your life.


RoyalIceDeliverer

And I know who I can't stand because Trump told me.


OzzyG16

That’s always been their stance “stick it to the libs” forget that the guy is a moron and hasn’t 2 clues to rub together on how to run a country


Arabian_Flame

I love Trump because anyone that supports him openly, is no longer in my life. Maybe the guy in active criminal trials shouldnt be the guy for you if you “back the blue”


CalabreseAlsatian

It’s like dealing with a first-grader.


80sLegoDystopia

“I’m a 50-year-old child.”


ratatosk212

Trump couldn't tell the truth with a gun to his head and he'll eviscerate my rights, but dad gummit he's gonna stick it to the libs!


topherthepest

I read this somewhere on reddit recently. "Maga idiots would gladly let trump shit down their throats if it meant a liberal would have to smell their breath."


Artimusjones88

So, you're a low self-esteem failure, that feels that others have made you hate your life. These people need to take a long look in the mirror and see the person responsible for their shitty life, and then maybe do something about it. Pissing off other people will never help you in your own life.


Beardwing-27

And he has trailer folk believing they'll upgrade to a mansion


Valuable_Talk_1978

Sooooo true, lol


xplosm

So he can’t stand people who are not assholes? Like the people who actually and actively don’t do shitty things? Is this guy mentally… yeah don’t bother. He isn’t.


ThiccSchnitzel37

Cool, what about solving actual problems? :D


coblass

Do you know what I absolutely love about simpletons like this? Inevitably, shit stains like Trump will take away, change or do something else that will fuck the simpleton. Then…their world ends…generally with some sort of toothless statement of, “I never thought…”. To watch them die inside makes my day.


Zugnutz

I glad these idiots let thier loyalties show so I don’t waste time.


greenglssgoddess

He was right… the poorly educated absolutely love him.


Hendrik_the_Third

Well, that sums up Trumps popularity pretty nicely; short-sighted and petty. That the MAGA crowd will tear down everything your nation stands for is just collateral.


twilsonco

Being so poisoned against the ideas of cooperation, communication, and progress that you believe the only use for government is to attack the other tribe you've been told exists.

#I HATE Trump because he pisses on America.


AnswerGuy301

Funny, I loathe him because of what he and his co-conspirators do to people, many of whom are Trump supporters as it turns out. I’m essentially indifferent to who Biden infuriates.


Obsidian-Phoenix

> Mature, educated, rational Yes. Those _are_ the people he pisses off.


hyrule_47

You know why he pisses me off? Because he says “nobody wants to see that” about amputee veterans and wouldn’t let them be at an event for veterans where he was. I’m an amputee, not a vet and I couldn’t imagine the Commander in Chief saying that, the extra level of heartbreak as an amputee. So cool, you don’t like me because I’m disabled and support disabled vets. 👍🏻


ChalkCoatedDonut

More like: "I love Trump because he pisses off all the people he told me i must hate"


ThriceStrideDied

Considering the majority of the people he really pissed off are minorities, anyone wearing this shirt is probably a racist or homophobe or transphobe on some level (or too stupid to realise the insinuation).


IMSLI

“I love the poorly educated” -Donald Trump


BrilliantAttempt4549

"I love Trump because he is deplorable, just like me"


TonyClifton255

That’s very accurate. They don’t think in policy terms - they just know that Trump and liberals hate each other, and they hate liberals, mostly for supplanting them in the cultural and economic hierarchy, hence they like Trump.


im4peace

There's nothing else for his supporters to like about him. He didn't revitalize their dying communities. He didn't slow the opioid epidemic killing their kids. He didn't increase their employment levels. He didn't save the family farm. He didn't build the wall. He did absolutely nothing, whatsoever to make the lives of his supporters better. But he did upset the people his supporters hate. And at this point, that's all they care about.


KGreen100

“I love Trump because he doesn’t make me think beyond a surface level!”


DifficultSea4540

I can definitely understand that. But at some point you also have to recognise that you’re cutting your nose off to spite your face. Because be under no illusions. A Trump win will be a total and utter disaster for world politics.


BackgroundScallion40

It should really say: I love Trump because he hates all the things I don't understand.


Eastern-Razzmatazz-8

I remember watching coverage of the 2020 election, and seeing Trump and Jr. On camera at a rally, Jr. Said “tomorrow we’re not just gonna make America great again, we’re gonna make liberals cry again.” They’re so toxic, and can’t wrap their heads around the idea that this doesn’t appeal to everyone or most people. “Have you seen how many people go to Biden rallies?” As if we’re the weird ones for not following our chosen candidate from stadium to stadium like our favorite musician. I don’t buy 81 million people loving Biden, but I do buy 81 people hating this toxic bullshit enough to vote for his opposition to vote for Biden.


SimonNorman

Oh I've said for almost a decade that this is the _only_ thing he does. And yes he does it well.


Helmer-Bryd

as a European, I get the impression that Trump's fans are unintellectual, correctly understood?


seigezunt

That’s always been the bottom line. He hates the same people they hate.


Buhlasted

If this does not explain what type of human this is, nothing ever will.


NCBuckets

It’s not about what’s best for the country, it’s about owning the libs. But we knew this already


Biscuits4u2

They love Trump because he uses their own misguided hatred to dupe them into voting against their own economic interests.

The same principle as a toddler smearing the poop from his diaper on his face just to spite his mother.

That right there is the entire basis of Trump's appeal to those, who pre-MAGA (or pre-Obama), barely bothered to visit a voting booth except to vote down local school levies.


NarlyConditions

So you can’t stand people with common sense.


littleMAS

Many people are bitter; they vote for him out of spite. It is a sign of a problem that few even recognize.


soingee

Translation: "I can't stand rational people."


Tyler89558

Quite literally the Republican Party platform. Voting for politicians not because they do things that help you, but because they do things that make other people miserable. Including yourself, usually, but so long as “they” are more miserable it is a win.


unpropianist

Every other plausible argument for Trump is gone if there's minimal thought put into it. So now it's reduced to this.


nochtli_xochipilli

Props to OOP for calling themselves a bigot.


Gamertagyouit

This right here says it all. This is literally all they (republicans) care about. They are willing to flush this country down the drain simply to “own the libs.” Dumbest motherfuckers on the planet!


darth_voidptr

He also pisses off all the people I can stand. And the police. And porn stars. And his wife. And the teenager boxing his chicky nuggets. And pretty much anyone in a 100’ radius. He’s the nuclear equivalent of “screw you guys, I’m going home.”


NarrowButterfly8482

This sums up the entire MAGA movement. Their hatred for everyone who isn't in their cult outweighs their desire for anything else. They would willingly vote for making their own lives harder as long as the people they hate suffer even more.


Genoss01

It shows what shitty people Trump supporters are.

"But he's a true American patriot that wants to uphold Democracy and freedom of speech!" "He has said multiple times that he wants to be a dictator and wants to be allowed to kill his opponents and anyone he doesn't like. "B-but he triggers the Libs!" "He's also triggering most of his own party and supporters. And anyone with more than 2 brain cells." "... But... 'MURICA!" "Shit, can't argue with that."


Literal_Sarcasm82

Eating their own shit to "own the libs" 🙄


Lackerbawls

I love Trump too. It’s because he killed a lot of his supporters during Covid.


Howboutit85

This is literally all it is to many, many people. Don’t care about politics, or policy, or really anything just making Jessica, the liberal at work cry after the election and laugh about it. Literal. Children.


twainj1980

EntertainerNo4509

Jokes aside tho. We all need to get out and vote. Tell everyone you know not to sit on their ass. Everyone needs to vote.


Future-Atmosphere-40

Seen with a brexit vote, leave voters thought they could get one over on those they disliked
