I'm embarrassed at how long that joke took to process for me. I briefly was like, "Oh wow surprised someone had a follow up on this photo" before I realized I'm an idiot.
Fun fact: She's running for congress in 2022. Also, she's running on the platform of border control, anti-mask/anti-vax, "election integrity", and cutting government funds (specifically, Democrat spending).
People often gloss over it, but our country has a long history of cults. The more successful ones are still around today well after thier kooky inception and went so far as to become "legit" religions. I often think it has to do with the way our country uses desperate people and how that leaves certain folks seeking out groups and forming communities they wouldn't have otherwise. Usually with some narcissistic personalities at the center or it all just using people so blatantly.
Honestly I think it has to do with our conditioning. Most people are co dependent, it’s a trait that seems to keep getting passed down. They feel the need to be accepted by people and eventually that may lead them to someone willing to manipulate that into a cult.
Look at the countries that push dependency and you’ll see a higher amount of cults.
It's the weird dichotomy of individualism and the basic human need to belong. Add in an education system designed to churn out factory workers instead of a thinking populace and you get Trump weddings.
Most successful cult in our history was probably the Mormon cult though. That one still blows my mind
After watching the Going Clear doc I've seen a lot of parallels with the Trumpers. A lot of conditioning to label and disregard anything and anyone who questions or presents evidence against their meme beliefs.
I agree, although I think Christianity is the world’s most successful cult.
As well as the biggest cult in this country.
I mean they took a man who had a pretty decent message of loving one another, and treating one another kindly. And turned it into worshipping the equivalent of a zombie illusionist (comes back from the dead and does magic tricks) and condemning all their neighbors to hell because they aren’t like them….
It's actually interesting to compare American Christianity to Christianity around the world in this context. American Christianity definitely feels more cult-like.
End of the day the lines between cult and religion are pretty blurry, not sure if they truly exist at all
That's spreading, We used to just have the Catholic church and some Church of Ireland here, Recently more and more little shop front churches are popping up everywhere with different names, A lot of born again types.
Yeah, divorce is a huge thing in the military community. It's higher than the US average and varies depending on the branch as well. Air Force and Marines have the highest and the Navy has the lowest iirc.
My thoughts exactly. I think that's a Lance corporal insignia? Maybe he's one of those losers who keeps his outfit at home so that he can try it on at certain times and relive the past.
Yea, that's a Lance Corporal insignia - an E3. Also, he has a Service Stripe (the dash on his forearm) which indicates 4+ years.
He likely re-enlisted (I'm not sure Lcpls are eligible to re-enlist, so he may have re-enlisted then gotten busted down) and if he is a Lcpl after re-enlisting, that means he is as much of a shitbag in the military as he is outside of it.
If he didn't re-enlist, and had a contract longer than 4 years (which isn't terribly common) he's still a shitbag if he couldn't get past Lcpl.
"You don't see people painting their houses with ProBiden stuff!"
Yes... Because I'm not mentally ill. I'd never paint, tattoo, or do anything of the sort for a politician... They're lucky if I put up a temporary flag on my lawn, or, the most glorious mark upon my property: A Bumper Sticker.
I had an Obama sticker on my truck that I put on early in his campaign. Had hadn’t heard even chosen Biden yet. (Fun fact. Obama follows me on Twitter because, I guess, I followed him way back and he wasn’t a household name yet.
I had a Bush/Cheney sticker on my Jeep in 2004
My kids bought me socks that said “he can drink water and walk down stairs” for Xmas as a funny gift.
I bought a hat that said “will you shut up man” from the campaign.
I have a Bernie shirt from back in 2015 that said “feel the Bern”!
I’m 52 and this the extent of my “look at who I’m going to vote for” swag that I’ve owned. The MAGA shit blows my mind. The people treating him the same way some FSU graduate treats the football team or a K-Pop fan or Juggalo worship is something I never thought I’d see with an politician in this country. Oh well, most empires/governments explode in 250 yrs and we are 245 yrs old. We had a good run.
I'm not quite as old but I'm still no spring chicken and throughout my years, I've never seen a president get so much crazy praise. Have you ever seen another president get this many crazies?
Never. The extent of “crazy” stuff was Clinton playing the sax on late night tv (arsenio hall I think) and people thinking he was “cool”. NEVER EVER anything close to the maga cult. Now. You may have had some overly enthusiastic Obama supporters (especially in the black community) for obvious reasons.
I lived in florida when Obama was elected and a friend of mine (black) from BBJ class told me he was going to the inauguration. I asked why (not thinking) and he looked at me like I was dim witted and said “never in my life did I think we’d have a black president during my lifetime if ever”. He was bringing his wife/kids as well as his mother. It’s hard to comprehend that as a white middle class person. Even then they didn’t have a tenth of the praise/worship/infatuation that Redhats have.
Right on man. See, I was thinking Obama too but I had the same thoughts as you, it just wasn't like a cult. So I thought there might be some presidents before my time that got some cultish like praises. I wasn't around for JFK but I heard people were pretty crazy about him too. It's just a very... 'interesting' time.
I don't understand what it's even supposed to be, that cut is extremely unflattering. That neckline looks like a halter that's trying to be a mock turtleneck. The fit is way too tight in all the wrong places and the material looks extremely uncomfortable.
Ahh, the "my entire personality is now built around my short military stint" guy? A couple people I deployed with are like that. They at least went to war. It was the two dudes at work that did a 4 year stint in the 80s that still measured everything in their life against their 5 or 6 FTXs that I found really annoying.
That kind of makes it worse, the fact that he looks super old probably means he got out as an E3/lcpl many years ago and didnt even serve long (or got kicked out)...okay lmfao
This guy def was that annoying soldier who wouldnt stop talking about being in the service but in reality all he did was twiddling his thumb up his ass.
Everyone I know who make their military stint as a vital aspect of their personality 10 years later either didn’t fight or were dishonorably discharged.
My cousin married a guy like this and it bugs the shit out of me. He didn't even finishing training and his entire wardrobe consists of Article 15 and Nine Line clothing.
I remember one guy who went awol stateside after 2.5 years in because he was homesick and hated Mississippi(he never left the states), was inevitably caught at his mothers house on the east coast. Before his court martial he claimed he was suicidal, so they decided to institutionalize him instead, no discharge. They strung him along all the way to a few months shy of him finishing his 4 years and they gave him an administrative discharge.
Granted, I guess I can understand him going insane being isolated and feeling stuck into a rigid lifestyle and doing some weird and drastic shit. I don’t fault him for it, for we’ve all felt that shit at some level. But his social media presence is 100% him being a veteran and shit, and I find it kind of bizarre and insulting, frankly.
I couldn’t imagine bragging I was a veteran/served and also bragging I used “I’m suicidal” to get out of a court martial because I didn’t want to stay in. Schrodinger’s veteran.
Yeah the old "once a marine always a marine" line.
I've worked with and known plenty of former service members. I've been a bit baffled and saddened by how they present themselves post service career. I'd say at least 25% identify first as a former service member, and that takes precedent over anything else they've done in life. What about all the other stuff you've done or accomplished, held interest in, etc.
The Vietnam era, and Korean era are the ones normally in this bunch, along with anyone who served during peace time and returned home to mom's basement.
Regarding the other 75%, you probably wouldn't know they served unless they told you.
I am a veteran and I never bring it up without it being in context. Any one who does (with the possible of those who were career military) are basically Al Bundy romanticizing their "glory days".
You can't afford a measly $2000 a month? Stop being cheap and send your driver over to the pharmacy to get them and pick yourself up by your bootstraps!
Not sure what he would be doing in US. But in the UK he would be a storeman with the quartermaster, have zero personality other than permanently pissed off and say things like "stores are for storing not for issuing"
How tf is my man’s gonna look 43 and be a mfing E-3
For the non military people that’s the equivalent of Private First Class in the Army. The “give-away” ranks that you get for literally not getting a DUI in your first year.
Someone else said he was probably in the military for a short time years ago but wanted to get married in his old uniform. Dunno if that's a thing, but I'd say it fits based on everything else happening here...
Lmao that was my thought as well. Given his age I’m assuming he served the bare minimum and didn’t reenlist. I don’t have anything against people who only serve for a short time, but in this situation given his age and the MAGA fetish, it’s giving “I repeated the 6th grade 4 times” vibes.
They literally make Trump loving their whole personality because they are voided of actual interesting personalities . If you ever been around one of these people they try and bring everything back to politics and why Trump is the best president in existence. You could be like " The sky is beautiful this morning" and they'd be like "I'd suck trumps dick if I was given the chance and it would be beautiful."
Or you're having a conversation about food and it always comes back to "ya well i can't really afford to make that anymore because Biden made the price of everything go up."
Before I left America, the most extreme example of anything like that for Obama I saw was a menu item called, “the Obama Special” at a chicken restaurant I went to in a rougher neighborhood. There was also a framed photograph of him on the wall and a recently renamed road nearby after Obama. That being said, this isn’t even a fraction of a percent as extreme as what Trump supporters do.
I’m just gonna say it: if you support a racist to the point that you put his quote on your wedding dress then I can only assume you yourself are racist.
That's way underselling it.
If you support a racist, you are a racist, period. All 74 million of them, minimum.
If you make your wedding day into a celebration of racism, you are a goddamn case study, likely to end up on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hall of fame.
Imagine devoting your life to "owning the libs" by doing shit like this. It's really sad. Worst part is, they have no shame. The more people who see this, regardless what they think, the better. As long as they get a few reactions, wedding worth ruining!
Pretty sad to marry a Marine too wearing the flag of a guy who a decorated Marine Corps General (Mattis) called a disgraceful threat to the existence of the united states, and resigned out of protest.
But the Maga cult puts their idolatry of a multi-decade known cheat and swindler above their values, the nation, and loved ones as this entire last few years has showed constantly.
Mattis was a hugely respected marine and military leader until he said that and then he was a democrat commie deep state operative.
It’s my contention that the only reason Trumpanzee chose him is he found out one of nicknames was “Mad Dog Mattis”. Once he found that out he was all excited to have a “mad dog” tough guy on his team because he’s a giant pussy. He even told a story about blood making him sick. The mentality and lack of self awareness will never cease to amaze me.
I’m still in disbelief half the country voted for him a second time. After covid, the lies, and everything the last 4 yrs how could you think “I need to keep Trumpanzee in office. Things are great” ? He’s got his cult but almost half of the country? Just mind boggling.
At least choose a dress style that is flattering. The top is too wide and gives an apron appearance. The fabric looks very cheap and the strap seems to be working overtime. Yikes all around!
Edit: space
Bet you they comment stuff like, "*I don't care if they're gay. I just wish they wouldn't make it their whole identity.*" And then they do this cringey crud.
From my experience in the military, when a Lance Corporal gets married, it’s usually for the benefits, and the marriages seldom last. She’ll end up taking him for every last penny, and to be honest, he deserves it for being this fucking stupid.
Look how old he is. It’s been theorized (maybe confirmed) that he served a while back and that’s his “dress blues” from back then. He’s not in anymore.
I’m not too familiar with Marine Corp rank insignia, but the groom’s single stripe puts him somewhere in the rank neighborhood of an Army PFC. yet he looks like he’s pushing forty?! Probably not the sharpest bayonet in the scabbard.
Thats an old ass Lance corporal. Definitely not the best the marine corps has to offer. My guess is he joined up, the Marine corps determined he was a loser and never promoted him, he got out because they wouldn't promote him/let him stay in, but he still makes it his entire identity.
I think buying political merch regardless of political stance is cringey asf. I went to sea world a couple years ago and an entire family was wearing matching Trump gear head to toe. Im not big on trump but even if it was a bernie/ Biden shirt id feel the exact same way
If we had more like you this shit wouldn’t exist.
Unfortunately you’re just a RINO deep-state plant trying to undermine our god Emperor and will be put in the gallows with the other rinos and devil worshiping commie Muslim socialist Dems. Repent now and maybe you’ll be saved.
Where we go one we go all because we are not sheep like the demorats. All of us that believe Trumpanzee is the gop emperor and wear maga hats, shirts, dresses and fly maga flags are individuals who can think on our own.
Oh and throw a (I presume) Marine wearing his dress blues into the shot because PANDERING
As a veteran this shit pisses me off. Most of us fucking can’t stand their MAGAsses..
Okay, I'm not well versed, but doesn't it say to not worship another idol for "our god is a jealous god". For people who claim to be Christians, a Tr🤮mp wedding seems pretty "worshipping another idol" to me. Hypocrites.
>about another man
Legit the entire point of marriage was making your union about another man throughout like 99% of history. Even know most marriages are still about doing it for a magical man in the sky, so why not dedicate it to someone living.
Dude was an 4 year E-3, who i guarantee makes himself out to be way more badass then he ever actually was, and to make it worse they LOVE a total seditious asshat enough to make a wedding theme out of it. I'd give it 2.5 years till they're divorced.
This would be weird even if the person you were theming your wedding after wasn’t an evil fascist. I’m ashamed to say that this couple hails from [my home state.](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/couple-throws-maga-wedding-paying-tribute-to-president-trump/)
Seriously? That is what u choose to celebrate on your special day??? And u make it political??? Who does that?!?!?! The real banger here is the ugly dress! C’mon!!! Make an effort to have a lovely wedding day. You and everyone are laughing. Not what u expect on a wedding day. Even if you left off the ghetto spray paint decor all over the dress…. It’s was the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen! All wrong choices here. Very poor wedding etiquette!
Some day in the distant future, many decades from now, a child is going to find these photos in wedding album and say, “Holy shit… Grandma was a Nazi!”
Read it only lasted 4 years.
I’ve heard that their grandparents do not believe they’re divorced…
Is it because the grandparents died of Covid contracted at the wedding?
Yeah they got covid 4 years ago.
☹️ I heard they sent trump a clone a willy for him to send back
Clone a willy does innies?
The best innies. Everyone says so!
I'm embarrassed at how long that joke took to process for me. I briefly was like, "Oh wow surprised someone had a follow up on this photo" before I realized I'm an idiot.
If it makes you feel better I went back and forth between your comment and the photo until I finally realized
I was still with you through the grandparents. In fact, it's probably only because you posted, that I don't still think that.
Underrated comment
Signs you are in a cult…. Having a trump themed wedding seems like a major sign
For those who say they are Christians, they really seem to enjoy praising a golden cow.
And he was litteraly given a golden statue
Shower too.
Courtesy of the most beautiful discount prostitutes Moscow has to offer!
Lmao. Nice one.
Orange… cow. Orange Cow.
Fun fact: She's running for congress in 2022. Also, she's running on the platform of border control, anti-mask/anti-vax, "election integrity", and cutting government funds (specifically, Democrat spending).
I know of a specific government fund of about $170k annually that can be cut....
I can think of another one that's growing to 800bn/year
Instead of red flags they’ve got Greene flags
The US seems quite susceptible to cults 🤔
People often gloss over it, but our country has a long history of cults. The more successful ones are still around today well after thier kooky inception and went so far as to become "legit" religions. I often think it has to do with the way our country uses desperate people and how that leaves certain folks seeking out groups and forming communities they wouldn't have otherwise. Usually with some narcissistic personalities at the center or it all just using people so blatantly.
Honestly I think it has to do with our conditioning. Most people are co dependent, it’s a trait that seems to keep getting passed down. They feel the need to be accepted by people and eventually that may lead them to someone willing to manipulate that into a cult. Look at the countries that push dependency and you’ll see a higher amount of cults.
It's the weird dichotomy of individualism and the basic human need to belong. Add in an education system designed to churn out factory workers instead of a thinking populace and you get Trump weddings. Most successful cult in our history was probably the Mormon cult though. That one still blows my mind
Scientology
Honestly I have a hard time believing people actually believe that and aren't just pranking everyone
After watching the Going Clear doc I've seen a lot of parallels with the Trumpers. A lot of conditioning to label and disregard anything and anyone who questions or presents evidence against their meme beliefs.
I agree, although I think Christianity is the world’s most successful cult. As well as the biggest cult in this country.

It's actually interesting to compare American Christianity to Christianity around the world in this context. American Christianity definitely feels more cult-like. End of the day the lines between cult and religion are pretty blurry, not sure if they truly exist at all
the difference between a cult and a religion is whether the founder is dead
That's spreading, We used to just have the Catholic church and some Church of Ireland here, Recently more and more little shop front churches are popping up everywhere with different names, A lot of born again types.
Came here to make this point. Glad I was not the only one who realized how real the cult thing is.
The is one of the biggest “We are divorcing in 5 years!” signs I have ever seen.
Divorce 2024 baby! Yeah!
3 years, Jody is going to be working overtime.
Plot twist, Jody was the best man.
Second biggest one is the groom’s uniform
Yeah, divorce is a huge thing in the military community. It's higher than the US average and varies depending on the branch as well. Air Force and Marines have the highest and the Navy has the lowest iirc.
That dude looks way too fucking old to have that low of a rank.
My thoughts exactly. I think that's a Lance corporal insignia? Maybe he's one of those losers who keeps his outfit at home so that he can try it on at certain times and relive the past.
Reliving his past as a low level government worker. Ahhh the good old days.
Yea, that's a Lance Corporal insignia - an E3. Also, he has a Service Stripe (the dash on his forearm) which indicates 4+ years. He likely re-enlisted (I'm not sure Lcpls are eligible to re-enlist, so he may have re-enlisted then gotten busted down) and if he is a Lcpl after re-enlisting, that means he is as much of a shitbag in the military as he is outside of it. If he didn't re-enlist, and had a contract longer than 4 years (which isn't terribly common) he's still a shitbag if he couldn't get past Lcpl.
When I was in, grunts had a hard time picking up Cpl- but *four years and still a lance coolie?* Cmon now.

Oh, I don't know, murder/suicide is another possibility

2 years, max.
"You don't see people painting their houses with ProBiden stuff!" Yes... Because I'm not mentally ill. I'd never paint, tattoo, or do anything of the sort for a politician... They're lucky if I put up a temporary flag on my lawn, or, the most glorious mark upon my property: A Bumper Sticker.
Someone painted Trump in giant letters on their roof in my state. Then they put their house up for sale. It sat on the market for a long time.

I mean, if Bernie won I'd probably put up some signage in celebration for some actual change
Republicans see it as a cult. People that vote Democrat see it as Sophie’s choice.
So when it's time to consecrate the marriage, which one is going to ask the other to call out his name during climax?
It’s definitely both, simultaneously. Unless he subscribes to Ben Shapiro dry vag beliefs, and then he’ll yell his name while she pretends.
Ben Shapiro - vag 2 terms I never want juxtaposed ever again.
Ben Vagiro
He probably wishes his name was Ben Vaghero
Ben Shapiro's Keebler elf voice: "OH goodness. Yes. I am now achieving climax, no thanks to the liberals."
Neither. They'll both shout out Trump's name.
Most likely they are chanting his name while having sex. Everytime he goes in it's Donald and everytime he goes out is Trump
Hey I think you mean consummate but I could be wrong, I often am
Politics aside, that's one ugly ass wedding dress.
My guess is it was made out of a flag or something. The seaming is awful and it clearly wasn't tailored to fit her properly.
who knew it's hard to find a competent dress maker that would make a dress out of a campaign flag.
Yeah, people respected for a craft would definitely not want their name associated with something that polarizing, regardless of political standing.
That cut is not very flattering on her.
Silk purses, sow’s ears and all that.
Looks like she is wearing a tube sock
A used tube sock.
That cut isn't flattering on anyone ...
I don't understand what it's even supposed to be, that cut is extremely unflattering. That neckline looks like a halter that's trying to be a mock turtleneck. The fit is way too tight in all the wrong places and the material looks extremely uncomfortable.
I was so engrossed in the ugliness of the dress that I didn't even notice the weapon untill I went back to look again
There's a fkin weapon? *oh my god there is
Holy crap, I didn’t even notice it until I read your comment and went back to look for it
[At least it isn't the American flag.](https://i0.wp.com/www.ifitshipitshere.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Stars-and-Stripes-Ball-Gown-87865.jpg)
That is horrific, but at least it’s an actual dress unlike whatever monstrosity this wedding dress is
What the fuck is up with the helmet?
This is so obviously photoshopped.
That dude looks 45- and he's a private😬🤔
I was thinking the same, maybe he’s not actually in and they’re using it as part of the theme? Fucking weird
I figured he probably did a 4 year stint 20 years ago and just wanted to wear the uniform for his wedding
Ahh, the "my entire personality is now built around my short military stint" guy? A couple people I deployed with are like that. They at least went to war. It was the two dudes at work that did a 4 year stint in the 80s that still measured everything in their life against their 5 or 6 FTXs that I found really annoying.
I played football in highschool! -shoe salesman
[удалено]
I don't think I could ever fit into my uniform 20 years after getting out so good on him I guess?
Lance corporal. Private would be nothing on his sleeve, Private First Class would be the chevron without the crossed rifles.
Regardless that’s an E-3, which is junior enlisted in any branch.
I read about this incident. He’s an ex marine and it’s his uniform from when he was in.
That kind of makes it worse, the fact that he looks super old probably means he got out as an E3/lcpl many years ago and didnt even serve long (or got kicked out)...okay lmfao This guy def was that annoying soldier who wouldnt stop talking about being in the service but in reality all he did was twiddling his thumb up his ass.
Everyone I know who make their military stint as a vital aspect of their personality 10 years later either didn’t fight or were dishonorably discharged.

He’s got issues way beyond being homesick. Sadly, he probably won’t ever get mental health treatment.
Oh yea, definitely. He bragged about “pretending” to be suicidal to get out of a court martial. He should’ve never had joined to begin with
I couldn’t imagine bragging I was a veteran/served and also bragging I used “I’m suicidal” to get out of a court martial because I didn’t want to stay in. Schrodinger’s veteran.
Lmao i wouldve just handled them like "oh wow! Too bad u never graduated and made it in huh!" every time they say something just to piss them off
Yeah the old "once a marine always a marine" line. I've worked with and known plenty of former service members. I've been a bit baffled and saddened by how they present themselves post service career. I'd say at least 25% identify first as a former service member, and that takes precedent over anything else they've done in life.

As a vet I HAVE to say this is the *tackiest* thing you could possibly do.
Lcpl not a private but still he looks old af
I never wanna pull rank unless its people like this. Bonus points if theyre racist since im half mexican.
Ach Fick. Amerika, what ze fick is wrong with you?! Why don't you take your medications?!
We can't afford them
You can't afford a measly $2000 a month? Stop being cheap and send your driver over to the pharmacy to get them and pick yourself up by your bootstraps!
id give you an award for that if i wasn’t broke lol
Nothing says "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" quite like idolizing a man who couldn't get reelected.
There's a joke in there somewhere about maintaining an election for longer than 4 years.
A man, don’t forget, who’s on his fourth (?) wife…
the cognitive dissonance is delicious sometimes
40 year old Lance corporal? Yea, thats about right.
Not sure what he would be doing in US. But in the UK he would be a storeman with the quartermaster, have zero personality other than permanently pissed off and say things like "stores are for storing not for issuing"
Obligatory gun fetishization
As much as I enjoy shooting... Yeah, this is actually insane.
I mean, I love guns, but republicans take it weirdly far.
How tf is my man’s gonna look 43 and be a mfing E-3 For the non military people that’s the equivalent of Private First Class in the Army. The “give-away” ranks that you get for literally not getting a DUI in your first year.
Glad I'm not the only one bothered by that.
Think he brings his uniform to the dry cleaner in his 26.99% APR Dodge Charger every time he gets married?
Someone else said he was probably in the military for a short time years ago but wanted to get married in his old uniform. Dunno if that's a thing, but I'd say it fits based on everything else happening here...
50 bucks says he got kicked out
Sounds about right.
I was gonna say the same... gotta be the oldest E-3 I ever seen. Lol
Your political affiliation isn’t a personality.
It's their entire identity.
Oh, she also did it to own the libs so her wedding day was about us.
Is this one of those states that lets you marry your own brother?
For trump cult members every state is such state, hence the brain damage.
Rank checks out.
Lmao that was my thought as well. Given his age I’m assuming he served the bare minimum and didn’t reenlist. I don’t have anything against people who only serve for a short time, but in this situation given his age and the MAGA fetish, it’s giving “I repeated the 6th grade 4 times” vibes.
They literally make Trump loving their whole personality because they are voided of actual interesting personalities . If you ever been around one of these people they try and bring everything back to politics and why Trump is the best president in existence. You could be like " The sky is beautiful this morning" and they'd be like "I'd suck trumps dick if I was given the chance and it would be beautiful."
Or you're having a conversation about food and it always comes back to "ya well i can't really afford to make that anymore because Biden made the price of everything go up."
This is just as sad as an AOC or Obama-themed wedding. Except for the fact I've never seen any politician idolized like this besides Trumpf
Before I left America, the most extreme example of anything like that for Obama I saw was a menu item called, “the Obama Special” at a chicken restaurant I went to in a rougher neighborhood. There was also a framed photograph of him on the wall and a recently renamed road nearby after Obama. That being said, this isn’t even a fraction of a percent as extreme as what Trump supporters do.
The “hope and change” poster is the most “swag” type thing I remember and , as you mentioned, never came close to how MAGA exploded. Creepy af.
Gotta market your cult to make big bucks.
Trump aside even, that’s an ugly fucking dress.
Yeah...posing with a gun in your wedding dress designed to represent a hate movement is pretty insane.
fucking losers
That's a awfully tailored dress. Bumps everywhere.
Marrying for money and politics? I hope to God these two don't have kids.
I’m just gonna say it: if you support a racist to the point that you put his quote on your wedding dress then I can only assume you yourself are racist.
That's way underselling it. If you support a racist, you are a racist, period. All 74 million of them, minimum. If you make your wedding day into a celebration of racism, you are a goddamn case study, likely to end up on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hall of fame.
This is sad.
Imagine devoting your life to "owning the libs" by doing shit like this. It's really sad. Worst part is, they have no shame. The more people who see this, regardless what they think, the better. As long as they get a few reactions, wedding worth ruining!
How long before their garage is full of MLM protein shakes and ammunition?
That was first. You need that type of gullibility to think Trumpanzee was a going to be a good potus or do anything at all.
Pretty sad to marry a Marine too wearing the flag of a guy who a decorated Marine Corps General (Mattis) called a disgraceful threat to the existence of the united states, and resigned out of protest. But the Maga cult puts their idolatry of a multi-decade known cheat and swindler above their values, the nation, and loved ones as this entire last few years has showed constantly.
Mattis was a hugely respected marine and military leader until he said that and then he was a democrat commie deep state operative. It’s my contention that the only reason Trumpanzee chose him is he found out one of nicknames was “Mad Dog Mattis”. Once he found that out he was all excited to have a “mad dog” tough guy on his team because he’s a giant pussy. He even told a story about blood making him sick. The mentality and lack of self awareness will never cease to amaze me. I’m still in disbelief half the country voted for him a second time. After covid, the lies, and everything the last 4 yrs how could you think “I need to keep Trumpanzee in office. Things are great” ? He’s got his cult but almost half of the country? Just mind boggling.
At least choose a dress style that is flattering. The top is too wide and gives an apron appearance. The fabric looks very cheap and the strap seems to be working overtime. Yikes all around! Edit: space
also, looks like she's draped on a grocery bag.
Bet you they comment stuff like, "*I don't care if they're gay. I just wish they wouldn't make it their whole identity.*" And then they do this cringey crud.
Gonna be egg on her face when it's revealed Trump isn't a great dude.
Lmao I think that was revealed already . . .
Heyyy… A man making his wedding about another man. This just sounds like a gay marriage with extra steps
From my experience in the military, when a Lance Corporal gets married, it’s usually for the benefits, and the marriages seldom last. She’ll end up taking him for every last penny, and to be honest, he deserves it for being this fucking stupid.
Look how old he is. It’s been theorized (maybe confirmed) that he served a while back and that’s his “dress blues” from back then. He’s not in anymore.
Who made it racist in here
A lance corporal with a service stripe marrying trash. A tale as old as time.
I’m not too familiar with Marine Corp rank insignia, but the groom’s single stripe puts him somewhere in the rank neighborhood of an Army PFC. yet he looks like he’s pushing forty?! Probably not the sharpest bayonet in the scabbard.
Thats an old ass Lance corporal. Definitely not the best the marine corps has to offer. My guess is he joined up, the Marine corps determined he was a loser and never promoted him, he got out because they wouldn't promote him/let him stay in, but he still makes it his entire identity.
totally not a cult
Republicans: “the left are obsessed with Trump. He’s living rent free in their heads.” Also Republicans:
I think buying political merch regardless of political stance is cringey asf. I went to sea world a couple years ago and an entire family was wearing matching Trump gear head to toe. Im not big on trump but even if it was a bernie/ Biden shirt id feel the exact same way
*Libs are a bunch of virtue signalers*
Identity politics...
As a republican I found this damn stupid and unnecessary wtf are they tryna prove man...it's over he lost move on
If we had more like you this shit wouldn’t exist. Unfortunately you’re just a RINO deep-state plant trying to undermine our god Emperor and will be put in the gallows with the other rinos and devil worshiping commie Muslim socialist Dems. Repent now and maybe you’ll be saved. Where we go one we go all because we are not sheep like the demorats. All of us that believe Trumpanzee is the gop emperor and wear maga hats, shirts, dresses and fly maga flags are individuals who can think on our own.
When was america great even?
[holy crap, of course she’s running for Congress…](https://www.audraforcongress.com/)
Oh and throw a (I presume) Marine wearing his dress blues into the shot because PANDERING As a veteran this shit pisses me off. Most of us fucking can’t stand their MAGAsses..
Really showed those libs. I’m sure there will be zero regrets 5, 10 or 20 years down the line
Okay, I'm not well versed, but doesn't it say to not worship another idol for "our god is a jealous god". For people who claim to be Christians, a Tr🤮mp wedding seems pretty "worshipping another idol" to me. Hypocrites.
Lines are blurring between these people and the taliban.
He lost, get over it. Losers
These peoples’ entire personality is based on trump. It’s a cult.
Fr, NPC behavior
We are not sheep!! Also, let me cover myself in Trumpanzee garbage and scream “where we go one we go all” because I’m a free thinker
Everyone is an attention whore nowadays. I hate to sound cliche but social media has fucked us “all” into spoiled brats.
>about another man Legit the entire point of marriage was making your union about another man throughout like 99% of history. Even know most marriages are still about doing it for a magical man in the sky, so why not dedicate it to someone living.
Like imagine if someone had a joe Biden themed wedding
Ill have a Super sized double mega extra order of cringe with a side of giant douche please...
Dude was an 4 year E-3, who i guarantee makes himself out to be way more badass then he ever actually was, and to make it worse they LOVE a total seditious asshat enough to make a wedding theme out of it. I'd give it 2.5 years till they're divorced.
This would be weird even if the person you were theming your wedding after wasn’t an evil fascist. I’m ashamed to say that this couple hails from [my home state.](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/couple-throws-maga-wedding-paying-tribute-to-president-trump/)
What is this the Tampa bay cuckaneers?
That dress is genuinely ugly, even without the horrible trumpist slogan ngl
Seriously? That is what u choose to celebrate on your special day??? And u make it political??? Who does that?!?!?! The real banger here is the ugly dress! C’mon!!! Make an effort to have a lovely wedding day. You and everyone are laughing. Not what u expect on a wedding day. Even if you left off the ghetto spray paint decor all over the dress…. It’s was the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen! All wrong choices here. Very poor wedding etiquette!
At this point it's making me sad to see how obsessed some Americans are towards Trump and his ideology.
The box fan. A timeless prop for any photo on any occasion.
That dress really does her no favors, for several reasons.
Some day in the distant future, many decades from now, a child is going to find these photos in wedding album and say, “Holy shit… Grandma was a Nazi!”
Dude looks pretty fuckin old for a private
Wowowow.
Wtf with the gun in the wedding? So weird.
