Definitely not cult like behavior.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 60 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You know... Only true Trump supporters get a Trump tattoo on their taint. Spread the word.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the famous "Trump Stamp" tattoo body location.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fuck it, all the cool ones get Trump Stumps. Right on the mushroom.

TRUE Drumpf supporters get it tattooed on both eyeballs so it's both painful and shows their dedication, AND will be permanently visible for all to see for years to come because there is NO WAY they'll ever regret the decision of backing a businessman that bankrupted 3 casinos.

If I was naked in public and that was my only option to cover myself, I'd just stay naked. Much less embarrassing.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I will never fully understand why people have made this their entire identity.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Usually because their life sucks, through some combination of the shitty societal things like corporate greed that effects us all, as well as their own failings, like not trying in school, being an asshole so they don't have freinds etc.

And instead of accepting they are somewhat responsible for their own life, putting in the emotional labour of Introspection, admitting their mistakes and working hard to correct them, they listen to the guy on the TV who tells them everything bad about their life is actually because of the liberals and the illegals and trans people, and if we can just stop them, then all their problems will be fixed and Trump is the guy that's going to stop them, so they worship Trump because that's easier than helping themselves.

It's really quite profoundly sad, isn't it

Real fuckin' bad, Thanks.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

probably not as bad as when you see people like this wearing a trump cape in other countries outside of America . At least their weirdos are doing it with relevance.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Kinda like that homer meme where he's bunched all his fat behind him to impress marge. It's just waiting to burst...

Likely concealing his emotional support gun

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's not a cape, that's an official J.D. Vance sofa condom.

"Remember, your new running mate can only be two letters different from your last running mate, because we got a deal on the new flags."

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I seriously wonder if this is the criteria they went with.

It's still true: that's a really weird person.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

At least they’re warning us they’re not worth interacting with.

Feel bad for any workers who are forced to though.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yep. Trump merch of any kind, thin blue line flag or sticker, tread on me sticker, 3%er sticker, preamble to the constitution window tint, cybertruck, blacked out US flag window tint, NRA sticker, confederate flag sticker, anything at all that indicates support for Republicans...

I thank them all for so proudly ensuring that I will be able to spot and avoid them in nearly any circumstance. Life is just so much nicer.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hell at this point even the US flag makes me think "Trump fan ahoy".

Heard someone say something similar about folks that display a Confederate flag. It's a fine marker to identify those that are both mean and stupid.

Bet you no one in the store engaged him on any level, he ended up with a shopping cart half-full of groceries he didn't even want, and he had a brief but intense cry about it in his truck that was broadcast to his 3 followers on TikTok.

i wish twitter wasnt real

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is what happens when you turn politics into two sided shit slinging, team red v team blue, us vs them, my favorite football team vs their shitty rival.

[–] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I suppose so, but we usually only see this level of fanaticism from one of the sides, and it happens to be the side that turned politics into a massive clown show.

Well, publicly anyway. In the last 50 years.

Wow this trump guy must be fighting really hard to make life better for people like this! He lowering taxes for the middle class? Improving infrastructure in industrial neighborhoods? Fighting back insurance company powers and improving access to health care? Maybe this guy has grandkids and this trump dude is going to make sure American schools finally have the resources they need to succeed? What is the secret sauce of his platform that has the jean shorts, crocs in piggly wiggly American joes so excited about?

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He can leap an AR-15 in a single bound!

I’ve wanted capes and cloaks to become fashionable again

But not like this…

I've missed out on so much business not selling over priced Trump/Vance capes...

They look like a homeless person who was blessed with a donation of this instead of a normal jacket or a hoodie.
