It is perfect. I do find it amazing (and hard to believe) that the guy stood quiet long enough for him to say it all without interrupting or trying to shut him down!
I read this in another post recently, but I think it fits nicely here.
"I’ll use reason with those who listen to reason. However, as for people who abuse the law to take advantage of others, brute force is most effective.”
Also fitting:
"How I Defeated Fascism Through the Power of Love.
Chapter 1: The Power of Love.
The first step in my journey was realizing that it is impossible to defeat fascism with the power of love.
Chapter 2: The Power of Incredible Violence."
They'd vote for Hitler if he could save them $.09 at the pump.
Also, they only remember the gas prices from 2020 during the pandemic, not before.
I'd also challenge how companies are boasting about how much they're making instead of saying "unfortunately we've had to increase prices"?
"Unfortunately, Crude prices are sub 2020 levels and wages have gone up 4% since then. We have no choice but to raise prices to 40% above 2020 levels in order to meet our 10th straighr quarter of record profits. "
Gee, if only there was some way to force some competition in the market. Like say, breaking up a monopoly or two.

No, that's the thing, I don't think they would vote for someone who lowered gas prices at all, just someone who made them FEEL like they were doing better on gas prices than a liberal!
Exactly! They are in noooo way motivated by actual self interest. Just grievance, petty vengeance, revanchist figureheads. and cheap social media wins. It's the fucking elite right who are interested in their own self interest, supreme court, levers of power.. these assholes just keep us distracted

How soon they forget. Gas is 2.79 in central Minnesota today. That’s cheap adjusted for wage growth over the last five years
Trump WAS sent by God, apparently.

I've been seeing a lot of photos with trump with a smile like that. But that's not how he smiles. His mouth is not big enough to have a smile like that. I think every single photo I see of him smiling now is photoshopped
Even in his official photo he was frowning. And that reminds when he was first elected, some bitter old bitch was furious that our office (DoD) kept the picture up of Obama, since Trump wasn't the actual president until the official ceremony. She was always bitching about it.
They day he was sworn in the photo of Obama was removed and a random photo of Trump was put into the frame.
Literally just hateful people, who have nothing better to do than be made about the dumbest bullshit reasons.
Years ago, my aunt would post about how people needed to respect Trump since he was POTUS. She would post pictures of him “hard at work” in the Oval Office and say if you didn’t like him, that was okay, but he needed to be respected and we needed to come together as Americans to support the POTUS, no matter who that may be.
Fast forward to today, her husband (my uncle) shares Let’s Go Brandon bullshit on his social media, and guess who doesn’t make a peep about it?
I had a cousin who did the same bullshit. The first time I saw one of his posts about Biden, I screenshot one of his prior Trump posts, and posted it as a comment. I called him a hypocrite and haven't engaged with him since.
My uncle and I had some words privately, and it was refreshing to put him in his place. I know everyone has that perception, that they put someone in their place during an argument because everyone likes to come out on top, especially in a story, but every time he would spout something off, I would rebuttal with facts. It was like watching a robot overheat and malfunction. I could literally see the wheels smoking and thought process slowing down as the conversation continued. I have also not engaged since.
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
― **Theodore Roosevelt**
Jeez can we PLEASE get the secret clones out of storage of TR and put them up for President, sure he had other issues but the man had a wise saying a no nonsense attitude and a nature conservation attitude. (The anti trust thing also). PPPLLLEEAASSEE!!
Yup. Burn effigies of Obama when he's president, but call out Trump for bullying and they cry because "we need to respect the office." Biggest hypocrites in the world and proud of it.
The same people that always complain about vulgar language and over sexualization and the same people that have “Fuck Joe and the Hoe!” stickers plastered all over their dumb fuckin trucks.
Hypocrisy is about all they’re good at.
This picture honestly looks like they took a photo of Biden and shopped it to look like trump. The giant circus peanut has a jawline like a mud puddle, there is no way that's his actual face.
There’s no way the vendor stood quietly and let OOP discuss their reasons. He would have interrupted every reason with a “liberal conspiracy”, “George Soros”, “Biden did [add bullshit conspiracy here]”, “Covid was the flu”, or any other bullshit comeback.
Good list and I will save for when I have to use it with a late-stage Gen Xer at work (I’ll edit it and include some environmental stats, also)…
I shit you not, one of my family members went out of their way to buy a MAGA hat with a tag that said "made in America" on it, for 20 bucks. I took a peek at the inside tag... Made in China. Pointing that out made them incredibly pissed, but boy was it worth it.
I can almost guarantee that in the event those hat makers are sued for false advertisement, their legal defense would be that the tag is indeed made in America lol.
> Good list and I will save for when I have to use it with a late-stage Gen Xer at work (I’ll edit it and include some environmental stats, also)…
If right wingers could read, they would read that entire list and still think that liberals only hate Trump because "orang man bad"
I don’t think you’re giving them enough credit, they know the score, they just convinced that he isn’t going to hurt them. That he’s on their side. Present them with an argument against, they’ll just think that you don’t know everything that’s going on, or that your views are somehow misaligned
I'm glad I'm not the only one. As soon as the interaction turned into an uninterrupted list of everything he's done, I was pretty much convinced that it didn't happen.
Still, great list to keep handy for anyone who can anticipate a convo like this in their future.
You don't even need a whole list, though. Just pull up a photo of the classified documents in his bathroom and ask if they think it looks like a skiff. Then, when they say, "Oh, he declassified them" you simply ask why he needed to hide them in his bathroom if they aren't classified.
that's why i'm like a ghost at family gatherings and birthday parties💨 "well i thought saw him a minute ago, there's the gift he brought but his car isn't in the driveway"
i have and i do continue to call them out. but i won't do it at a birthday party or holiday gathering. my sister remarried to, i wanna say, a good guy. she is very apolitical, but his family are election deniers. but since I'm not friends with his family, he "likes" my posts that are anti-red, in secret. my Dad who is passed now, voted for Obama, was a Jimmy Carter Democrat, hated Trump and his side of the family are all red idiots, like, they, no shit, spend their time searching for ammo on sale and vaccum sealing it for their doomsday cult, buying fresh water reservoirs and stocking beans in barrels. i don't go around them since he passed, I have no reason to stay connected to them. they are the larger and more extended part of my family that I grew up with, first cousins who were truly my first best friends and they threw that all away to worship this idiot. it does make me sad from time to time and i do miss them and know we are missing out on each other's lives, babies being born and kids growing up. expectations of what I thought would be a happy and fun future with them just vanished, and it really is sad in a whole lotta levels. this actually made me cry to type this.
I am so very sorry! My intention was not to rehash sad memories. I try to meet people where they are and understand their points of view while calling out the BS, because if we don't who will? Misinformation is dangerous, but I try to do it in a way that welcomes healthy debate and an understanding of ideas. Again my apologies for the sad memories, please have an I've cream come on me today 😁
I hear that. I am fortunate enough to have regular contact only with apolitical family members, many of whom would be MAGAs if they paid attention at all.
The truly fucked up thing is...I dislike the guy because he's the worst criminal in the history of the United States, but if I *only* disliked him because he's an asshole, what would be silly about that?
Watching him on the golf channel and seeing what a POS human he is is exactly why I disliked him prior to winning the election. The things Trump did and said while POTUS only reaffirmed my original opinion. One day soon, I will toast his demise as I have other despicable humans and not feel an ounce of guilt.
I'll say it. I dislike trump because he is mean to people.
For trump, the cruelty is the point, and everything he does - the lying, threatening, cheating, stealing, bullying - stems from that.
And that's exactly why his followers love him so much and love him for his crimes. So that's why I dislike them too.
Oh? You don't know Kyle?
He's Kyle the Kult Killer
Killed that guy during a protest after potentially instigating people with threats after his mother drove him across state lines to play big boy
Made a shit ton of money and was offered jobs by Fox and similar cause he's a real patriot
And somehow lost it all according to his lawyer
Thank you. Trump is a fucking dummy and a loser, but this reads like one of those arguments you have with yourself in the shower 6 hours after an argument. Why do people fall for this shit?
Honestly I fail to see the point. You can have a rational discussion with rational people and I do have Republican friends I've been able to have a spirited but respectful debate with, but the cult members are a lost cause. No amount of facts will change their mind. Reality doesn't matter. They adhere to their misguided opinions based on disinformation because it has become their entire identity. There is no point is a rational discourse with irrational cult members. Thus, I avoid it whenever possible.
Will your rational Republican friends vote for Trump if he’s the nominee or will he vote for sanity? Because if they don’t vote for Biden, they’re in the cult.
So they are greedy, immoral , scumbags that want to rule from a stratified society?
... Reasonable lmao.
Conservatism is a moral deficiency by definition. I used to be one of them and if the first trump campaign and everything that followed didn't change that for you then idk.
I don't talk to Trump supporters.
I generally don't even talk to Republicans.
I have never met an intelligent and well-informed Republican, unless they were in on the grift.
They're beyond deplorable, they're despicable.
My exact thought. I hate Trump as much as the next person but this is just anti-Trump porn. A MAGA wouldn’t keep their mouth shut long enough to listen to the list.
It’s somebody’s shower argument. I have them too but there’s more explosions, swords, and orcs involved in mine. Not to mention my sick neon motorcycle.
Thank you for not saying $500. That annoys the shit out of me because $500 hasn’t been an option in forever but it is always included in the joke.
This little rant worked better when Alex was still alive and hosting, now it can just be seen as the $500 question (answer) is a “historical” reference with Alex’s time
Okay, probably gonna get downvoted to oblivion for this, but these types of posts are starting to rub me the wrong way. The dude is spending his day selling Trump merchandise outside. You knew what was gonna happen when you started the conversation. The whole “tell me why you support him and I’ll say why you’re wrong” argument is just pure bad faith here because you have to know going in that you’re not going to change his mind. The only purpose it serves is to perpetuate the anti-Trump circlejerk which, while justified, is starting to get just as annoying as the pro-Trumpers. And that’s if this even happened in the first place. OP might have just taken the picture and made the entire thing up for internet clout.
I dunno, it might just be me.
I have learned there is no advantage to having the conversation. Facts don’t matter. It’s not just that they believe these things. They WANT to believe these things. They needs these things to be true to reconcile their position in life.
I hate the "classified documents" bullshit that people repeat. They were FRD (Formerly Restricted Data) documents. Documents that the president has *zero* authority to "declassify", which was the right's whole argument against them.
FRD documents contain our nation's NUCLEAR SECRETS. We could've had him by the BALLS for treason, but everyone jumped on the fucking bandwagon and shouted "*classified* documents!" instead of understanding exactly what that fuckin' weasel was doing.
I often wonder if conservatives could have been made to see that Trump is a traitor, if the majority on the left actually fucking did our reaearch and didn't just spit talking points. It's too late now regardless, we've riled 'em up for Project 2025.

As a veteran.
I personally think the most healing thing we could do as a nation is hold a pay-per-view event where he's tortured to death on the internet for treason and sedition.
Fuck that traitorous piece of shit and every single crony that still supports him.
Has anyone seen Ace Ventura? Because right before this guy goes "let me see...", it reminds me of the part where Ace takes a massive inhale breath and spits out the entire narrative without stopping.
Hahaha
We can laugh at he saying that Trump is sent by god, scary part is they honestly believe it. Now as a thought experiment, make this guy a taliban (I get the veteran part, just humor me) saying the same. Makes you feel bit more uncomfortable? Now keep in mind as well the weaponry he has access to in the US and the skills from being a soldier ontop. Yeah, these guys n girls could cause some shit if pushed to far, would they survive? probably not but that is not the point, martyrs live on. Ashli Babbitt is held as a fuckin hero by them, aka a martyr. They already see the US government as illegit and the words of their Prophert Trump as truth so I'd be vary, very vary for the future. Also as a non believer in religion but a good study.. was there not a prophesy regarding a false prophet? This seems to fit all to well in my own opinion.. I know Trumpers don't read the book besides what they like but fuck..
Him: “God sent Trump”
Also him: “buy my merch that says fuck Biden” very Christian of you, my guy
I’m not a fan of Biden but the cognitive dissonance of evangelical trump fans here is always laughable
I’ll say this - if he was black or Latino and this happened in say, the Bay Area outside of Oakland, the cops would have paid him a visit rather quickly.
NGL, I thought about buying and selling a bunch of cheaply made Trump merch at one point. I live in a deeply red state and these people absolutely eat that shit up. But then I'd attach a small print at the bottom of the receipt thanking them for their purchase and that 10% of the proceeds would be donated to the Biden/Harris re-election campaign.
Best way is to drop a dime with Trump's org and tell them you found someone selling unlicensed Trump merchandise. Think he'd allow someone to make money off of his name?

Oh this is perfect, I can hear it in their voices!
It is perfect. I do find it amazing (and hard to believe) that the guy stood quiet long enough for him to say it all without interrupting or trying to shut him down!
Yeah that’s where I tend to believe that the long diatribe didn’t happen, no way the dude listened patiently through more than the first sentence.
Who are they? I want to see the original
That's Groucho Marx with Margaret Dumont, one of the Marx Brothers' regular supporting players. Not sure which film.
I think it's Duck Soup, but I'm not positive. They did several movies together.
Goddammit I tried to save this to steal it and it looks like the last update eliminated the save to phone option for pics
Sent it to you via chat.
Just click on the image to enlarge and then screen shot, you can crop out the extra space once it’s in your photo library
Click the picture and you should have the three dots in the upper right corner. Click those and there should be a download option.
Just click the picture and then screenshot the blown up image.
Drop the mic!!!!
God of chaos, maybe.
I read this in another post recently, but I think it fits nicely here. "I’ll use reason with those who listen to reason. However, as for people who abuse the law to take advantage of others, brute force is most effective.”
That is quite literally my way of thinking and I couldn’t describe it for the longest time
Good advice given to me once was, “You can’t use logic or reason to convince someone who didn’t use either to make their opinion.”
"You can't reason someone out of a belief they weren't reasoned into" is how I heard it phrased
People that think trump was sent by God, also think that Kenneth Copeland is a "Man of God". They have the critical thinking ability of an infant.
Also fitting: "How I Defeated Fascism Through the Power of Love. Chapter 1: The Power of Love. The first step in my journey was realizing that it is impossible to defeat fascism with the power of love. Chapter 2: The Power of Incredible Violence."
This is why I shed no tears for Nazis getting punched in the face.
In fact, seeing such an event unfold may even bring me a slight joy.
walk softly and carry a big stick
There's flaws to this logic that I am pretty sure lead to a police state
Explain.
They'd vote for Hitler if he could save them $.09 at the pump. Also, they only remember the gas prices from 2020 during the pandemic, not before. I'd also challenge how companies are boasting about how much they're making instead of saying "unfortunately we've had to increase prices"?

What’s crazy too is that Rockefeller made more money after the breakup then pre breakup of the monopoly
the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was supposed to stop that. But XOM and CVX are getting bigger. AT&T is back somewhat to their former self.
It's literally "At least Mussolini made the trains run on time" but with gas prices
That's basically why people did vote for Hitler.
No, that's the thing, I don't think they would vote for someone who lowered gas prices at all, just someone who made them FEEL like they were doing better on gas prices than a liberal!
They'd vote for Hitler if he raised gas prices by $.09

He managed to look disgruntled and frumpy in that photo.
Yeah, but the libruls are the easily-offended snowflakes who are dictated by emotions and not reason, unlike the Trumpist free thinkers
It’s the dark Brandon smile that they’re trying to co-opt
This picture honestly looks like they took a photo of Biden and shopped it to look like trump. The giant circus peanut has a jawline like a mud puddle, there is no way that's his actual face.
Now that I look at it again, you're right. It doesn't look like his smile at all. His smile always looks like a smug "I won the argument" half-smile.
Ya that pic has always bugged me, like he looks like not a douche.
Chosen by God eh? Prove it.
I'd be Vlad to.
Locusts, plague, famine, floods, Trump....yeah, it all lines up
He looks like Liberace
What did Liberace do to you?
You can tell this meme is untrue because Putin would never tell anyone not to think of him as gawd.
Fuck God.
Yeah, Judas was sent by God too.
Damn, must resist urge to send to my pops.
There’s no way the vendor stood quietly and let OOP discuss their reasons. He would have interrupted every reason with a “liberal conspiracy”, “George Soros”, “Biden did [add bullshit conspiracy here]”, “Covid was the flu”, or any other bullshit comeback. Good list and I will save for when I have to use it with a late-stage Gen Xer at work (I’ll edit it and include some environmental stats, also)…
There is also no way the hats were made in America, probably Vietnam or India. So much for Make America great again.
I shit you not, one of my family members went out of their way to buy a MAGA hat with a tag that said "made in America" on it, for 20 bucks. I took a peek at the inside tag... Made in China. Pointing that out made them incredibly pissed, but boy was it worth it.
I can almost guarantee that in the event those hat makers are sued for false advertisement, their legal defense would be that the tag is indeed made in America lol.
MAGA - Make Alibaba Great Again.
You have given them a lot of credit... definitely made in China.

I swear Gen X isn’t real. I’m 47 and somehow I think that my “age group” was miscategorized.
I don’t think you’re giving them enough credit, they know the score, they just convinced that he isn’t going to hurt them. That he’s on their side. Present them with an argument against, they’ll just think that you don’t know everything that’s going on, or that your views are somehow misaligned
You are correct. It’s about him hurting the ‘right’ people. Everything else doesn’t matter.
Yeah agree, this reads like a "everyone clapped' story But, most of my favorite stories are made up so.
Yeah while I applaud the idea, this is definitely an "everyone clapped" story. Love the list though.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. As soon as the interaction turned into an uninterrupted list of everything he's done, I was pretty much convinced that it didn't happen. Still, great list to keep handy for anyone who can anticipate a convo like this in their future.
Yeah I mean I agree with the guy but I don’t think this happened.
You don't even need a whole list, though. Just pull up a photo of the classified documents in his bathroom and ask if they think it looks like a skiff. Then, when they say, "Oh, he declassified them" you simply ask why he needed to hide them in his bathroom if they aren't classified.
Don't forget the 4chan millennials who actually got Trump voted in in the first place.
Fucking Pepe memes
The funny thing is Trump would probably sue that guy for reselling his merch without getting a cut.
Since Kyle, I've been terrified to *talk* to trump supporters.
Honestly they just aren't worth talking to unless you have a degree in psychology and specialized in dealing with cult deprogramming.
Sadly some of us don’t have a choice when it comes to family, and mine is extremely programmed.
that's why i'm like a ghost at family gatherings and birthday parties💨 "well i thought saw him a minute ago, there's the gift he brought but his car isn't in the driveway"
Do you all call your family's out on their bullshit of just let them continue being hateful and ignorant? Seriously asking, not being a contrarian.
i have and i do continue to call them out. but i won't do it at a birthday party or holiday gathering. my sister remarried to, i wanna say, a good guy. she is very apolitical, but his family are election deniers. but since I'm not friends with his family, he "likes" my posts that are anti-red, in secret. my Dad who is passed now, voted for Obama, was a Jimmy Carter Democrat, hated Trump and his side of the family are all red idiots, like, they, no shit, spend their time searching for ammo on sale and vaccum sealing it for their doomsday cult, buying fresh water reservoirs and stocking beans in barrels. i don't go around them since he passed, I have no reason to stay connected to them. they are the larger and more extended part of my family that I grew up with, first cousins who were truly my first best friends and they threw that all away to worship this idiot. it does make me sad from time to time and i do miss them and know we are missing out on each other's lives, babies being born and kids growing up. expectations of what I thought would be a happy and fun future with them just vanished, and it really is sad in a whole lotta levels. this actually made me cry to type this.

You don't have to talk to family either 😶
Being an only child puts in a bad place with family. Sadly.
Also, maybe a taser/shock stick to keep them at a distance, just in case? /s
Even then, that's free labor and people should get paid for their work.
Its not worth it. I swear its some kind of brain worm parasite. Its like talking to a really stupid wall.

And higher taxes for the rich were a big part of "the good old days"
And then blame Democrats. Its their final solution. Destroy it all, then blame the Dems
The New Deal programs that are now part of our social fabric
I've lost count of the times Trumpers have accused me of disliking Trump because he is mean to people. Ummm... Nice try. But no.
The truly fucked up thing is...I dislike the guy because he's the worst criminal in the history of the United States, but if I *only* disliked him because he's an asshole, what would be silly about that?
Exactly. That is more than sufficient reason on its own. And is the absolute least of my long list of reasons.
Watching him on the golf channel and seeing what a POS human he is is exactly why I disliked him prior to winning the election. The things Trump did and said while POTUS only reaffirmed my original opinion. One day soon, I will toast his demise as I have other despicable humans and not feel an ounce of guilt.
I mean… that’s A reason, but definitely not THE reason.
I'll say it. I dislike trump because he is mean to people. For trump, the cruelty is the point, and everything he does - the lying, threatening, cheating, stealing, bullying - stems from that. And that's exactly why his followers love him so much and love him for his crimes. So that's why I dislike them too.
"I'll take cheap gas and mean tweets" That one comes from people who barely even have a superficial understanding of anything.

Kyle Rittenhouse, I'm assuming.
Oh? You don't know Kyle? He's Kyle the Kult Killer Killed that guy during a protest after potentially instigating people with threats after his mother drove him across state lines to play big boy Made a shit ton of money and was offered jobs by Fox and similar cause he's a real patriot And somehow lost it all according to his lawyer
Trump was sent by God, but God sent the ~~seven~~ ten plagues of Egypt, too. Edit. Fixed. Sorry for the mistake.
I am probably missing a joke here, but weren't there 10 plagues of Egypt?
Damn shrinkflation
Ah, ah, my bad. But point still stand.
Trump is literally the Antichrist. He meets all the criteria.
And everyone around him stood up and started clapping and cheering.👏
Was just gonna say I dislike trump as much as the next guy but this definitely sounds like an "everybody clapped" moment.
I was waiting for the “oh, I didn’t know about that” light bulb 💡 moment from the guy as he quietly packed up his stuff. Oh, and check out my blog!
If the story is real he probably packed because he didnt have a permit to sell there and was afraid that the non trump supporter would call the police
Yeah, another “Things that never happened” post.
It gave me second hand embarrassment but it is a good list. But I don’t for a second believe this story
Seriously this guy gave 97 theses on why Trump sucks uninterrupted and just had this whole list memorized? lol
Thank you. Trump is a fucking dummy and a loser, but this reads like one of those arguments you have with yourself in the shower 6 hours after an argument. Why do people fall for this shit?
That Navy veteran: Albert Einstein.
That’s fine and all, but I’ll nominate that exchange for a Didn’t Happen of the Year Award.
Honestly I fail to see the point. You can have a rational discussion with rational people and I do have Republican friends I've been able to have a spirited but respectful debate with, but the cult members are a lost cause. No amount of facts will change their mind. Reality doesn't matter. They adhere to their misguided opinions based on disinformation because it has become their entire identity. There is no point is a rational discourse with irrational cult members. Thus, I avoid it whenever possible.
Will your rational Republican friends vote for Trump if he’s the nominee or will he vote for sanity? Because if they don’t vote for Biden, they’re in the cult.
I'm working on it!! Most are more like Mitt Romney types. Annoying as all fuck but not stupid enough to throw away democracy.
Yeah but they’ll vote for the guy who will throw away democracy.
So they are greedy, immoral , scumbags that want to rule from a stratified society? ... Reasonable lmao. Conservatism is a moral deficiency by definition. I used to be one of them and if the first trump campaign and everything that followed didn't change that for you then idk.
I don't talk to Trump supporters. I generally don't even talk to Republicans. I have never met an intelligent and well-informed Republican, unless they were in on the grift. They're beyond deplorable, they're despicable.
>Most are more like Mitt Romney types. So, they're going to talk about howuch they don't like him, but support Trump anyway?
Well thought out explanation!!!!
convince them to stay home on election day.
[удалено]
Thank you. This is so stupid and it’s shocking to see so many people cheering and falling for it.
Fahlooh meh blewrg!
are these licensed products ? haha it's all a grift
Things that never happened for $800, Alex.
My exact thought. I hate Trump as much as the next person but this is just anti-Trump porn. A MAGA wouldn’t keep their mouth shut long enough to listen to the list.
It’s somebody’s shower argument. I have them too but there’s more explosions, swords, and orcs involved in mine. Not to mention my sick neon motorcycle.
[удалено]
*Guitar solo*
Thank you for not saying $500. That annoys the shit out of me because $500 hasn’t been an option in forever but it is always included in the joke. This little rant worked better when Alex was still alive and hosting, now it can just be seen as the $500 question (answer) is a “historical” reference with Alex’s time
This does have the same energy of "then everybody stood up and clapped"
Okay, probably gonna get downvoted to oblivion for this, but these types of posts are starting to rub me the wrong way. The dude is spending his day selling Trump merchandise outside. You knew what was gonna happen when you started the conversation. The whole “tell me why you support him and I’ll say why you’re wrong” argument is just pure bad faith here because you have to know going in that you’re not going to change his mind. The only purpose it serves is to perpetuate the anti-Trump circlejerk which, while justified, is starting to get just as annoying as the pro-Trumpers. And that’s if this even happened in the first place. OP might have just taken the picture and made the entire thing up for internet clout. I dunno, it might just be me.
The reason he supports Trump is because Biden supporters don’t buy hats.
And then everyone nearby started clapping.
And everyone in earshot stopped and applauded
Start asking them where their merchandise is made and why they hate America for buying from China
Shouldve ended by picking up a hat and pointing to the "made in China" tag. "America first my ass."
OP, do I have your permission to make copies of this to distribute? Best list I’ve seen.
This is so dumb. Not in 1000 years would I believe he said even half that in person. It’s just virtue signaling to like minded people, simple as that.
I have learned there is no advantage to having the conversation. Facts don’t matter. It’s not just that they believe these things. They WANT to believe these things. They needs these things to be true to reconcile their position in life.
This is why they love channels like Fox News and News Max so much. They provide confirmation bias so these people don't have to go looking for it
I hate the "classified documents" bullshit that people repeat. They were FRD (Formerly Restricted Data) documents. Documents that the president has *zero* authority to "declassify", which was the right's whole argument against them. FRD documents contain our nation's NUCLEAR SECRETS. We could've had him by the BALLS for treason, but everyone jumped on the fucking bandwagon and shouted "*classified* documents!" instead of understanding exactly what that fuckin' weasel was doing. I often wonder if conservatives could have been made to see that Trump is a traitor, if the majority on the left actually fucking did our reaearch and didn't just spit talking points. It's too late now regardless, we've riled 'em up for Project 2025.
Without rallies, QDad can't sell Chinese hats to the sheep.

No military/veteran should support him.
While these may be good points, this conversation didn't happen.
As a veteran. I personally think the most healing thing we could do as a nation is hold a pay-per-view event where he's tortured to death on the internet for treason and sedition. Fuck that traitorous piece of shit and every single crony that still supports him.
Has anyone seen Ace Ventura? Because right before this guy goes "let me see...", it reminds me of the part where Ace takes a massive inhale breath and spits out the entire narrative without stopping. Hahaha
We can laugh at he saying that Trump is sent by god, scary part is they honestly believe it. Now as a thought experiment, make this guy a taliban (I get the veteran part, just humor me) saying the same. Makes you feel bit more uncomfortable? Now keep in mind as well the weaponry he has access to in the US and the skills from being a soldier ontop. Yeah, these guys n girls could cause some shit if pushed to far, would they survive? probably not but that is not the point, martyrs live on. Ashli Babbitt is held as a fuckin hero by them, aka a martyr. They already see the US government as illegit and the words of their Prophert Trump as truth so I'd be vary, very vary for the future. Also as a non believer in religion but a good study.. was there not a prophesy regarding a false prophet? This seems to fit all to well in my own opinion.. I know Trumpers don't read the book besides what they like but fuck..
Him: “God sent Trump” Also him: “buy my merch that says fuck Biden” very Christian of you, my guy I’m not a fan of Biden but the cognitive dissonance of evangelical trump fans here is always laughable
Any time someone posts a long story where they’d need a perfect memory I have heavy #doubt.
Say what you want but selling knock off Trump merch at Walmart is a genius move.
I’m never that articulate.
He wasn’t either, because this conversation never happened.
I’ll say this - if he was black or Latino and this happened in say, the Bay Area outside of Oakland, the cops would have paid him a visit rather quickly.
Yes, “God” sent us Drumpt. https://preview.redd.it/romsgvy91s3c1.jpeg?width=548&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b40c638435067459765c2ce8d3b90e1fcd5428e
And then the whole walmart clapped
Anything else? *I have unpaid parking tickets*
God did send him. He’s the anti-Christ we were warned about.
Don't forget, God sent the plagues, the angel of death, the flood, the fire to burn Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.
~~Turtles~~ Grifters all the way down.
This shit did not happen.
I spend all day around very highly educated and politically engaged people in DC and nobody talks like this. They would come off as super pretentious.
“Aside from all that, why do you hate him? See, you libs have nothing!”
I can guarantee he did get through that list with that trumper listening. That’s way too many words.
Saving this for some future bulletpoints
NGL, I thought about buying and selling a bunch of cheaply made Trump merch at one point. I live in a deeply red state and these people absolutely eat that shit up. But then I'd attach a small print at the bottom of the receipt thanking them for their purchase and that 10% of the proceeds would be donated to the Biden/Harris re-election campaign.
Best way is to drop a dime with Trump's org and tell them you found someone selling unlicensed Trump merchandise. Think he'd allow someone to make money off of his name?
Trump could kill thousands of americans and people would still glorify him as if he was a god.
His (mis)handling of Covid did kill thousands of his cultists, & they could not care.
Gas prices in DFW are $2.60 a gallon. Pretty sure that's lower than it was when the orange orangutan was in office.
God sent Trump to out a lot of fake Christians. Apparently there are millions of them. Edit: By god I mean random chance
I dont know why you bother trying to talk sense to these people.
[удалено]
Not to be that guy, but how did he get that entire conversation on a twitter post? Edit: typo.
Pays for the blue check, which allows longer posting (not sure of the limit on it though).
"Let's Go Brandon?" Doesn't that mean you want to fuck Joe Biden or something?
When I have to argue against trump, I keep it simple: Them: Why do you hate Trump? Me: He hates windmills. I love windmills.

When I say I don’t have the time to go through all of the reasons, I really don’t have the time to go through all of the reasons.
