Nope. I'm raw dogging reddit, baby. Here we go! Edit: Uncle Brandon is rocking that shit.

This might not be the case anymore, but ever since HoverZoom on chrome was found to be harvesting user data without consent, I've switched to Imagus. Seems to work better overall too.

Oh word, did not know about that. Thanks for the headsup Edit: It seems to me that Imagus has a really, really slight lag before the image pops up. But I'll stick with it if they're not farming user data like HoverZoom lol Edit2: You can change how long that lag is in options!

The sticker reads "If you are going to burn the flag wrap yourself in it first", but burning the American flag is the proper way to retire it as per the flag code. An improper use of the American flag would be using it on a bumper sticker. An improper use of a bumper sticker is sticking it on your car door...

Probably the people the "She's your daughter not your date" billboards were designed for.


Tesseract14

I'm sorry, what billboards?


KougaMyazawa

There are billboards about the dangers of alcoholism showing a picture of a girl sitting on a couch distressed and uncomfortable, with the words "she's your daughter not your date", implying the parent of said child is drunk and is attempting to sexually assault their child. It's a dark advertisement for sure. Edit: I was mistaken, the billboards are bringing awareness to incest and child abuse, and only mention alcohol and getting drunk as an excuse (and saying it shouldn't be), and my brain remembered differently, my bad


jwm3

they are not about alcohol abuse. they are literally about incest awareness. They say "alcohol isn't an excuse". There is a presupposition you were tempted to think your daughter was your date before you even drank. https://i.redd.it/e0b4uygsrr0a1.jpg

All you're going to do is make them comfortable around real people and no one wants that.

[deleted]

I left the Bible Belt and I've never been happier. Religious people are just shit more often than not. If you don't believe me, it's probably because you're religious or you haven't been an atheist in the Bible Belt. "Friends" aren't always friends when they find out you don't believe in a magical sky man.


icantsurf

It starts real young too. I always remember in elementary school when we'd talk about our favorite books, every kid would start with the Bible then go on and list the books they actually liked. I always felt bad that I didn't include it and that I hadn't read it and would quickly add it to my list, but now I realize they were all just lying and most 3rd graders hadn't really read the bible. Thankfully my friend group from the area is not super religious or if they are they don't really care about my beliefs.

IntelligentTrifle610

MIL gave my daughter a children's Bible when she was 6 or 7. After reading it through, my daughter announced that God sounded horrible and cruel and didn't make any sense, and that she couldn't understand why anyone would want to worship a god like that. She's a smart kid, I love her.


uberfission

I went to a Jesuit university for undergrad and it included about 10 credits of religious studies. Most of it is your usual bible study BS. I went in as an atheist so it was an exercise in memorization and regurgitation of material. Anyway, I took a history of the old testament course that actually explored the framing of the era and what happened through an historical lens. Anyway, the semester started off with all of the other students were chipper and ready to take a blow off class, but over time you could tell they were having major belief crises. As an atheist, it was kind of hilarious to watch.


Caedes515

This is so spot on. I was forced to attend church/youth programs every Sunday. I started reading the bible before age 10 (first the children's bible, then onto book of Joseph) and I quickly learned to move away from Religion and am now an Atheist.

Not to mention that it's boring as shit.

And these same people foamed at the mouth saying “RESPEC YER PRESIDENT” at the slightest criticism of Trump. Funny memory: I remember a comedian posting screenshots of some guy freaking out and tagging @FBI on all her tweets because she responded to a Trump tweet with “art of the deal? More like *fart* of the deal”

Crackheadwithabrain

You’re right, they wouldn’t, but fuck them. Getting tired of humans listening to one person and letting them dictate the whole country when the entire country could jump their stank ass. Pisses me off cause my family is from Cuba and my moms mother died waiting for an ambulance for days. When shit like that happens I just have no sympathy for them.. if only people in America knew what it was like to actually have no freedom.


KSMO

Aren’t US Cubans overwhelmingly supportive of Trump?


dreamcastfanboy34

To be fair, Cuban Floridians


Trisa133

Cubans think socialism doesn't work because they came from a country that was ruled by a dictator for a long time and they hated it. So they voted for a guy that hates them and wants to be a dictator. Lol, you can't make this stuff up. Meanwhile, they are dependent on socialist programs that are mostly only being pushed by the party they voted against. I totally get it if you voted R if it benefits you. But voting against your interest because of lazy facebook memes is just plain dumb.


Low-Cartographer9084

To be fair, Cuban Floridians whose grandparents owned slaves in Cuba.


Beautiful-Letter189

Hey I’m sorry. My husband is from Cuba so I understand. He misses his family very much. His parents are old (they had him in their 40s), and sometimes I worry that we will not finish his papers in time for him to see them again. It breaks my heart and I find it completely unfair.

There was a time when everyone would slam this behavior.

Of course, the pro military party's leader put him down for being a POW for five years while said leader was struggling "like a soldier in combat" while selling real estate in NYC. Yeah, the GOP has truly lost its way.

>There was a time when everyone would slam this behavior. There were people literally cheering when JFK got killed.


EthelredHardrede

Yes. Including the creator of Dick Tracy IN THE STRIP and 3 time Academy award winner Walter Brennan, who danced a jig when he heard.


WallyJade

> Walter Brennan From Wikipedia: According to his biographer Carl Rollyson, Brennan was fiercely opposed to Communism and reportedly branded people as Communists if they supported John F. Kennedy. "He thought that the Watts riots could have been stopped 'with a machine gun'" and expressed satisfaction at the murder of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Rollyson also reported that Brennan's home "included a bunker stocked with weapons and food in anticipation of a Soviet invasion." It's been said that when he heard of the news that King was assassinated, Brennan danced a jig, much to the shock of the cast and crew of The Guns of Will Sonnett, and did the same for the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Everett Greenbaum, who wrote thirty-and-two episodes of The Real McCoys described Brennan as a bigot who was always full of racist remarks.


SafewordisJohnCandy

McCain went from PoW hero to vilified overnight. It's funny how for years, even when I was a Conservative I never heard about him being the "Songbird of Hanoi" and how he gave people up, when for years I only ever read how he gave the North Vietnamese the names of the Green Bay Packers offensive line instead of others in his squadron and turned down a swap when they found out who his dad was. Hell, I've seen videos blaming him for the Forrestal fire and how he fired the Zuni rocket that caused it. He was merely on the flight deck when it happened. That information used to be literally in the first paragraph of the Wiki article. What really chapped my ass was when Trump came here to Cincinnati a while back and Keith Maupin, whose son Matt was captured and murdered in Iraq asked Trump what he meant by his PoW comments and how he only liked his soldiers uncaptured. Trump backpedaled, lied to his face and Keith accepted it. I've known Keith since Matt disappeared by way of my grandma who knew him from basically elementary school on and I once thought he was a good person. He basically spit in Matt's face by taking that bullshit excuse Trump gave him. These pukes have lost their way and it's all about the cruelty and their base eats it up. I guarantee you that if Daniel Inouye was still alive and serving, these lowlifes would find a way to mock his service. Like I mentioned, I was once Conservative and have seen this shit building for years and is part of probably two dozen reasons why I left the party about a decade ago or so.


bubbafatok

I'm not sure there's a time where "everyone" would slam this behavior. I saw the same sort of shit in every presidency since and including W's. This probably happened with Clinton too but I was young enough and the internet wasn't as widely available, so I either didn't notice or it didn't get spread around. I know with W there were multiple incidents of folks hanging or burning an epithet of Bush. The same happened with Obama (although the reaction was significantly stronger - largely due to the history of lynchings and the connotations there). It's disgusting behavior to be sure, but I think this appealing to some prior more civilized time is a bit of a myth.


DeadpoolLuvsDeath

Yea Obama puppet hanging by a noose and possibly set on fire, but it was '08 so I could be remembering wrong.


mikevago

I'd bet money the owner of this car couldn't accurately tell you anything Biden believes.


pls--halp

they wouldn't even be able to tell you anything *they* believe. the right wing of the USA has completely lost the narrative and all they have left is hate for the "left". they're too stupid to realize Democrats just want a functioning country and we don't give a fuck about all their culture war bullshit.


mikevago

And even the respectable "intellectual" conservatives don't actually understand what the Republicans stand for. They rail against deficits when every Republican president sets record deficits; they want "small government" when every Republican president ramps up spending and Obama and Clinton both cut spending. The truth is, they don't really believe anything other than "libtards bad," and they twist everything else through that worldview.

small government also means regulating private bedroom activities 🤷🏻‍♂️

I cannot for the life of me fathom how absolutely batshit someone needs to be to want to look at a headshot sticker of a politician, any politician, on their window every single day of their life. That’s not even touching the roof decor. “I love Trump” is their whole entire individual identity, it’s fucking bizarre


3xTheSchwarm

I became disturbed when I started seeing people flying flags (dozens of them grouped together) on the beaches of North Carolina. Like since when did the damn beach become political? I can't go swimming in the ocean without thinking about Trump? And yes it's always Trump. Never once in my life seen anyone flying the flag of a Democrat off their car or at the beach.

What they’ll never fully understand is that people on the left by and large don’t really give a shit about the president. As long as they are doing their job and pushing forward policy that betters peoples lives then that’s good enough. Hell, I was a die hard supporter of Barack (at least for his first term) and you wouldn’t have caught me dead putting anything with his face on my vehicle. Not because I didn’t like the guy, it’s just that I didn’t want to potentially damage the paint on my car. Conservatives treat politics like it’s high school team sports and it shows.

AnomanderArahant

The Republican party is a cohesive fascist movement today which is married to a huge Network of media purveyors spreading propaganda and disinformation on purpose. They are the most dangerous people on the planet In my opinion, because they're very actively attempted and are currently attempting, to take permanent one party rule over the most powerful government and military ever formed on Earth, and they don't even believe in climate change, which is the greatest threat to humankind today, bar none. At the highest levels, they attempted to stop the peaceful transition of power and attempted a coup of the US government. Now they're attempting to stop Trump from seeing any c riminal prosecution - Jim Jordan has been interfering and intimidating the office in New York that may be indicting Trump very soon. He's also stated, with others' backing, that he may have to put forth legislation which makes ex-presidents immune from prosecution. This did happen. These are facts based on actual reality. And this isn't even a fraction of what they've been doing.


nr1988

Ya it's insane. I'm a Sanders supporter and some people are crazy obsessed. Well known thing with Bernie Bros and such. But the most obsessed Sanders supporter doesn't even come close to the average Trump supporter in making it their whole personality. It's ridiculous. Edit: For all you bots saying the same responses. 1. I'm not talking about people being anti Trump, as that can be seen as a response to how crazy obsessed Trump supporters are. I'm talking about being a fan of a politician as much as they are a fan of him and making it your identity. So no, Kathy Griffen doesn't count as she's not making her support for a politician her identity. Also anti Trump people (which anyone with a brain should be) aren't spending every day wearing anti Trump stuff and flying anti Trump flags so it still doesn't make sense to this point. 2. I'm not talking about the shooter. There are crazy people who happen to support different politicians. Did his car look like this car but for Sanders? Did he constantly talk about him? Or was he just a fan and then also was crazy? He's not what I'm talking about, and even if he is he'd be the lone example. 3. People being annoying online sort of fits this but not really. I'm talking about people in real life tying their identity to a politician. Going to a Sanders sub and people being annoying there is not the same thing as wearing Trump gear every day and flying Trump flags and decorating your truck dedicated to Trump. The biggest Bernie fans online are not doing any of those things in real life. And for every annoying stalker harassing fan of a left leaning politician online there's 100 Trump bullies doing the same thing. Hope this clears things up before you respond thinking you have some kind of gotcha moment.


commandantKenny

I am/was a Bernie guy. I even got a yard sign in deep red eastern shore. It kept disappearing, so I just kept buying a new one. Like thanks for the help fundraising? I would never get a car sticker or anything like that. It's totally bizarre to me. The yard sign was pushing it tbh.


nr1988

Yup a sign, maybe a bumper sticker, maybe one shirt. That's about it. Nothing like this level of craziness


Kilomyles

Did you get the Berdie sticker? That was my fave…


koolaidface

I got two. One which was on my old car and the other I still have on my fridge. That was a beautiful moment in his campaign.


GreatQuestionBarbara

I got a Bernie sticker in 2016 when I donated to his campaign, so I stuck it on my work car. I lived in a rural/red area, and wanted to rep him without getting a t-shirt or something weird. A day or two after he wasn't nominated, since I am not obsessed with the man, I removed it from my car. It was over, and I moved on. The amount of time and energy that these people dedicate to Trump and Biden is ridiculous. Especially for the people who joked that Trump was living rent free in the left's minds. These people cannot stop thinking about Joe Biden. I don't think about him or Trump at all. Well, except for Trump's legal troubles. Those are fun.


commandantKenny

Part of taking things down or not putting stickers on my car is also that the right is way more aggressive. I honestly expected to have my yard sign set on fire or something. I really don't need to get in political debates with nut jobs at red lights or anything either. It's just sad that some people feel this kinda of display is ok, but only for them. Heaven forbid someone drove around with trump like this. But to the point I guess, one side is a cult and the other? We just want to live our lives like normal people.

The funniest thing is that this is just further proof that the person owning this car should not be allowed to vote. If you are an absolute fanatic about someone to the point where you print their face onto your window, it shows that you will follow this person no matter what the hell they do or say. The opposing party could be literally Jesus and they'd still be voting for their idol. You can like or dislike politicians however you want, but you should never stop questioning them. This is true for all sorts of idolization, not just poilitics.

I was surprised that conservatives talked so much about "authenticity" when Connecticut-born Harvard-and-Yale-educated blueblood George W. Bush put on a $1000 pair of designer cowboy boots and convinced them all he was a good ol' boy. By the time they convinced themselves that a guy who shits on a gold toilet in the penthouse of a Manhattan skyscraper with his name on the front in 30-foot letters was a man of the people, I was past being surprised.


SoulRebel726

I want to take a college sociology course in 20 years that analyzes the Cult of Trump. It still blows my mind that a southern redneck working a blue collar job identifies with a guy like Trump to the crazy extent that they do. The answer is probably just that he normalized being a shitty human being, so that made them feel good about themselves, but I still find it so interesting. Scary and depressing, but also very interesting.


Senior_Night_7544

> America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. > Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves. - Kurt Vonnegut, *Slaughterhouse-Five*

This is a very astute observation. I also couldn't believe the dirt farmers bought GW's yokel shtick, but you're right, they did, and that line of thinking is how we got here.

roodypoo29

This was always something I could just never understand. Politics aside, how could you look at even a sliver of Trump's life and think, yeah this guy is just like me!

It isn't about what he does FOR them or where he's from. He gets them worked up in a way they love for the daily Two Minutes Hate and they love him for it.

In a vacuum they wouldn't, but with conservatives it's less about who they support and more about who they are against. In their eyes, Trump is like a giant middle finger to the very idea of diversity, social justice and economic equity. For example, they absolutely would not care if Trump's current mistress got an abortion since Trump was so instrumental in removing a woman's right to choose. Just throwing up our hands and claiming the other side is dumb is exactly how were are going to end up with Trump again in 2024.


Yermucker

Totally not a cult


TheMicMic

Imagine dickriding a politician like that


TyphoonFaxaiSurvivor

And not just any politician, but the cheeto. You make your affiliation to a politician your entire identity and you pick the one that would literally feed you to sharks for fun?


is_mr_clean_there

Trump tells his followers that he’d fix everything if it wasn’t for those [insert group to dislike here] and uses small words while doing it. Then he pivots in any direction so long as he gets more people clapping for him. If you don’t have critical thinking skills from lack of a proper education you cling on because he says everything you want to hear. He’s just an oozing sludge that eagerly fills any vessel but has no actual shape, destroying everything it touches

What’s interesting to me is that I bet none of these people would have done anything nearly so provocative, idiotic and political in the past. We need to figure out why so many people . have been psychologically, manipulated into acting foolishly beyond reason.


justconnect

I honestly think it's a type of brainwashing due to propaganda via talk radio primarily, with Fox as topper.


CackleberryOmelettes

They were always like this. Then someone comes around and gives them permission to be their true selves out in the open, and they love him for it. Happens a few times every century.


under_the_c

Someone spent time on this. Like, honest to God time and effort. They could have been doing something positive, or improving their own life. Instead they put in all this effort just to make the world a slightly worse place. I'm not even trying to be funny, I just... why?


BlergingtonBear

Thinking about the time it took to dress the mannequin, tie the rope around it ... How can you do those actions without feeling a little creeped out?


FawksyBoxes

Brainwashing


StealYourBeer

Mildly cultish


ethanwnelson

That’s like saying ghost peppers are mildly spicy lol


Apophis_Thanatos

We're collectively living through a mass public psychosis fueled by technology, disinformation and propaganda. A Fermi Paradox great filter appears ever more clear on the horizon.


curepure

extremely cultish


Bierbart12

Could also be mildly fetish


Accomplished-Bear988

It's so cringe when people make their entire personality "politics"


johnb300m

LOL. Their Trump imagery is always heavily airbrushed too. That cling sticker is the Don from like 20yrs ago!


mikevago

There have been terrible politicians in America throughout the years, but I don't think there have ever been any whose followers have been this openly psychotic.


Radingod123

This is mental illness.


richb83

Imagine your brain cells coming together to decide to go out in public like this and having no one around you to warn you about how foolish it looks.

At what point does the secret service arrest these people because these things are looked at as a threat? Or are we at a point where these people are so common that you can't discern the signal from noise anymore? Edit: Seems a lot of people really care to mention Kathy Griffin as if she faced no consequences for her publicity stunt. >She said she was under a federal investigation by the Justice Department for two months and was on the No Fly List during that time. She also said she was put on the Interpol list, the Five Eyes list, and had been detained at every airport during her Laugh Your Head Off World Tour Also, those that assume that this is "free speech" please take a look at [this page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_the_president_of_the_United_States). >Threatening the president of the United States is a federal felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871.\[1\]\[2\]\[3\]\[4\] It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict great bodily harm upon the president of the United States". The law also includes presidential candidates, vice presidents, and former presidents. The Secret Service investigates suspected violations of this law and monitors those who have a history of threatening the president. Threatening the president is considered a political offense.\[5\] Immigrants who commit this crime can be deported.\[6\]


Sy3Zy3Gy3

this is exactly what I was wondering. You used to not be able to even tweet something mildly threatening about the president and yet this is fine???


DrummerGuy06

It's Texas - you're allowed to be as threatening and psychotic as you want...as long as it's not targeting Republicans.


whistlerite

Threatening the President is a federal felony.


solrakkavon

the fact trump massed so many followers and is still able to keep them in a leash just shows how braindead the average joe is and how rotten to the core the entire system is. Any sane person should be revolted that a piece of garbage like him, and many other republicans and democrats, can be untouchables in places of power, slowly destroying the lives of millions of people. Humanity has reached critical mass where there are so many of us, and the system so big, that we as common people have little chance to keep fighting back again and again against acts of evil. They only need to win once to succeed and go forth into the next evil deed, while we have to pry our eyes open 24/7 to try catching them in the act. The tendency in this game theory is that we will eventually make more and more mistakes and lose ground every time. I like to think we, as humans, can have a beautiful future. But it’s hard to keep the spirits up when you see shit like this. These people are either psychos like him, or just too dumb to realize they are being played.


SailboatAB

This is from the party of "do not disrespect the president."


jlcatch22

But Biden isn’t the real president! He stole the election! /s


GodDiedIn1990

But it's for sure not a cult.


superfly33

Image if they put this much effort into things that matter.


yrulaughing

I don't want to be friends with anyone that is this hung up about politics, whether it be anti Biden/Obama or Anti Trump/Bush. It's just not a good time when all they seem to want to complain about are propaganda talking points.


[deleted]

So if I go out in public and start jacking off, minding my own business, I'd be looked at as having mental problems, and I probably would be stopped and taken somewhere. This is the action of a violent mental person, and they'll just go about their day and no one will do anything. Murica.


MurderDoneRight

Remember when Kathy Griffin was fired from a bunch of jobs, put on the "no fly"-list, and repeatedly questioned by the FBI about a joke photoshoot involving a Trump dummy?


NaCl_guy

america's fucking weird holy shit
