Political Memes

Queer people voting for conservative politicians will never cease to amaze me. I discovered a queer acquaintance who I had friended on Instagram was following Trump, Pierre Polievre, and that insane Randy Hillier, which shocked me. Why would you do that? They hate queer people.

God, I love how seriously Americans take their civic duty, you can tell by the effort they put into researching the candidates they intend to put in the most powerful positions in the country.

If it weren't so sad, it would be almost funny.

So many people are waking up to the fact that... Most people are functionally illiterate children with no understanding of the world they live in.

The easiest way I have to explain it:

You use your phone every day. You know how to use it, menus in and out, all the different programs and their uses. But if I were to pop open the cover and take one single piece out, you would never know, and you would never be able to use it again. Without someone else, you have absolutely no clue how to go about fixing it. You can push it's buttons all day, but when it comes down to how it functions at the basic levels, you are clueless.

So am I, by the way. I don't have any reason to know how to build or program a phone. Or computer. I can push their buttons all day though! Even hidden buttons. But if everyone else on the planet disappeared tonight, I would effectively be living in the 1500s, as that's about where my technical understanding of things ends. (scavenging for replacement electronics notwithstanding, once something electronic breaks, it's gone since I can't exactly run a semiconductor factory by myself, or the mines to get the materials)

My point is, most people only know how to "push the buttons" of the world. They have very surface-level understandingsof it. But when it comes down to it, they don't understand how the internals actually function.

Sorry if this rambled a bit, I hit the bowl as soon as I got home from work.

I was expressing election stress to someone over Discord and they told me they didn't want to talk about the election (which is fine in itself) because "Joe and Trump are both bad." 💀 I'm like... Do you not even know how the candidates are? I didn't want to push the topic because they didn't want to talk about it, but I'm sure the answer would've annoyed me.

And MY fucking loved ones. And lots of other people's fucking loved ones.

My anger grows each and every day. I don't know how I'm going to make it through what's coming either from a mental health perspective or from a keeping my family safe perspective.

YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

stupid and ignorant people are going to be the death of our species. And if that happens, we fucking deserve it.

You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.

Has anyone been verifying that these kinds of posts lately are real? Certainly some trump voters are already having buyer's remorse, but these posts can just as easily be made up by people who want to play off our emotions and manufacturing further outrage and division. Just saying.

At lunch yesterday, I overheard two women talking about how they should totally be hired for the new department of government efficiency, and how they have a lot of great ideas to offer from their years of experience in federal jobs.

personally, this cycle the best thing i have under my belt is karma.

I hope republicans/conservatives have to learn their lesson the hard way around.

How does she figure the president isn't allowed to do something? Especially in today's political climate?

These are the people who vote on vibes and emotions, it's important candidates and politics don't discount them because they're the main voter block.

They've been reacting to the perceived moralist shaming of WOKE since 2014, and the right have kept that perception around whilst mocking it, being unPC, and joking around to show they're "cool guys".

So when Kamala makes a face when Trump says something about eating cats, the left think he's an idiot whilst emotional voters think he's play a game, joking and she's being rude/shaming.

Or when he dresses like a garbage man, and the left calls them stupid for enjoying it, that pushes emotional voters towards voting for him, and away from voting for her/them.

Dems lost sight of the emotional game/narrative being played. So he played the fun guy, they played the shaming upright moralists who can't take jokes and want to be serious or angry all the time (often bejng baited into this role).

Made for an easy choice for emotional voters. It was not rational (hence the regret). But it's what got the Republicans into office.

The ironic thing about these screenshots is that it's Xitter.

You could post this in the leopards ate my face community. Wonderful fit for that.
