Are people really taking pride in "voting for a convicted felon"?

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's partially that they think "owning it" makes it less embarrassing, but Trump is no Eugene V. Debbs. He wasn't railroaded into prison by an unjust system to try and silence him; he has flouted the law and been rewarded for it by those in power.

But mostly it's because he's a reactionary demagogue selling ragebait and proud ignorance, and anyone who is proud of voting for that is happy to signal that they like those qualities too.

Yeah... I can see how owning "owning it" works when someone has been convicted of standup up for Human rights or something...

But, his convictions are mostly "being a lying sack of shit"

The MAGAt dressed himself, the child was dressed (or the highchair was dressed.)

In other words, that's an insult to that kid who just wants to mess up that cake. Don't be mean to them.

Nah. The toddler isn’t a bigoted brainwashed sociopath, whereas the guy likely is.

Give it a few years

I don't know, that kid is wearing much less embarrassing attire

[–] Awkwardly_Frank@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, at least the kid didn't shell out hundreds of dollars for gold shoes with the structural integrity of cardboard.

One on the right is potty trained though.

Those golden shoes remind me of something:

I have golden shoes, isn't that weird?

Is no one going to point out his shiny gold shoes? Look at his shiny gold shoes. Lol.

The maga idiot drinking a margarita is frustrating

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sigh to be fair, there’s a purse at the seat across from him.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's not a gender thing, his partner likely has the same views

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like that his purse matches his shoes.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

If I'm gonna look fabulous, I'm gonna look fabulous 🤩

Is that a margaritas with an extra pitcher of margaritas on the side?
