There's no way that someone would be this fucking stupid.

That is incorrect. I'm 45, and my lifetime I have found that there is no bottom to the stupidity pit. Every time I think somebody's found it, they just bust through another false floor like it's the goddamned Oak Island Money Pit.
Oh yes. As time goes by, i think many (if not most) right-wing politicians just came to conclusion that there are A LOT of stupid people, and to maintain a political career without much real political effort, they need to ramble about topics stupid people like. Currently in US it went off the rails so hard to the point it must be thoughtfully tailored for stupid part of population who finally find their purpose in life - to follow a figure who ramble within the line of their stupid mindset - and this is really one of results.
Stupid people don't care about any of political tasks anyway: healthcare, foreign policy, plans, financing, public sector all around them, overall wellbeing, etc. No, stupid people care about a figure to follow and frustrations to cope. So the administration behind and around trump just need to keep rambling about imaginary enemies which stupid people can blame for their own stupid life choices or to heal personal frustrations, they need to maintain a cultish figure, and again, this is one of results.
Bottom line is that right-wing politics all around the world follow that lead, transform their political efforts into talking to stupid people who are easy to manipulate because of absolute lack of analytical thinking and stupid life-priorities which are easy to handle with just sour twitter posts instead of trying to make better society, which should be the main task of political figures. But right-wing politicians aren't going for better society anyway, they just want money and nice private world for themselves fenced by corruption and private deals.
It is embarrassing way to show in public, but it's easiest way for politician to win seats in parliament, to parasite as a part of government, to be abolished of the laws by political and jurisdictional corruption - and if got struck with a big win, to get position to streak business deals on a government level, to bathe in more corruption which finally reads two words so yummy for right-wing politicians: money and power.
And is there easier way to achieve money and power than to talk nonsense to stupid people? And so here we are.
I've been like a blind mouse trying to solve a maze, saying this every time I bump into a wall and turn 90 degrees, since 2015.
I for one appreciate when crazies mark themselves so openly. Makes ot easier to keep my guard up.
If I were a tattoo artist, I'd do these for free.
This would be noble work.
All I can think of is "well then the good Lord needn't turn their ankles as we'd know the crazies without needing the limp".
I couldn't suppress my giggle.
Maybe because they know Harris will win the 2024 election in November, but they think the bloody coup in January will succeed this time.
No regerts
Looks fake
Definitely, unless that person just has the least responsive skin in the world. A ballpoint pen is going to do more damage than you see there.
Well... They do say the pen is mightier than the sword...
Definitely fake. I think this woman is black, so this is probably a stupid "black people like Trump" thing that someone is trying to spread. I hope it doesn't work, but sometimes this garbage can change some minds.
Talking about a cult… jeeeeeesus
Is this the Brit? Or did someone else do it too?
Eh?
Probably about this British woman who got a Trump face tattoo.

Also just FFS at the story
I'm picturing the conversation in the tattoo place now:
"I want it to say 'Trump 2025!'"
"Don't you mean 2024?"
"No, 2025! That's when he wins the election!"
"But the election is in 2024..."
"ARE YOU SOME KIND OF COMMIE LIBERAL CUCK?! I CAN TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER!"
"Sorry, fine, 'Trump 2025' it is..."
Just advertising Project 2025. But thanks for the Scarlett T, lady. This helps when speaking to the manager to know you are nuts.
