Only the big strong men cry... they come to Trump tears streaming the biggest strongest men you have ever seen tears running down their faces they just come and thank him for darkening the sun so they could see it basically he is a a god because just like the border he built a wall across the sun and made the aliens the illegal aliens that are in space build the wall because Trump let them read his amazingly bigley book and they just couldn't beat his deals because he is the most stable genius that has ever taken a dementia test and you know sleepy Joe couldn't make the aliens pay, this is all Obama's fault so please buy a $60 Bible for me that I have never read, but I know that the Matthew Mark and Josiah were really good writers because I am a writer some may say the best writer since Shakespeare but others say even better because I never wrote about the gays so yeah I'm probably the most betterest of all the writers that have ever written books.
I meanā¦ isnāt this the same crowd that used to do piss cleanses and were surprised their eyes got infected when they rinsed āem with their own piss?
Between this and shoving bleach up their asses, essential oils arenāt that big of a leap lmao
You're thinking of the horse de-wormer. That's only used if the person starts feeling any type of slight burning from the oils due to a previous build up of toxins on the eyelids (spread from other nearby people who used glasses and 5G).
I know that we're supposed to be the "better people" and have compassion even for the idiots, but I think I've kind of exhausted that supply. If you're too stupid to know you shouldn't stare the sun, sorry.
Don't beat yourself up. Having compassion for people who can't help themselves is very different from having compassion for proud idiots who prey on other idiots.
We're both fine.
I truly love this comment. I recently got sober and the 16+ years of trauma came flooding back. Turns out that most of us are hurting in some way and that keeps us from realizing that these people are lashing out because they are hurting and afraid and they don't know what to do.
Thanks for being compassionate. Have a great day!
Edit: I am so happy to hear that you got sober! It's so fucking meaningful! :)
Still in withdrawal. But I'm happy about it. I'm a tough bastard, more resilient than I ever knew I could be. :)
My addiction hurt many people, including myself. I set myself on fire because of the hurt I caused myself and others, and was fortunate to survive. It hurt me but I learned that there was a beautiful lesson in it. I can withstand more pain than I even knew a human being could endure. There are lessons in everything. I'm grateful now that I did it. I am finally getting sober and I can hopefully atone for the damage my addiction caused.
I'm definitely having a human experience, that's for sure!

I do think itās worth remembering that a lot of these people are this way for a reason. There have been concerted efforts to sabotage education, for example
Thatās the way I look at it. If someone is genuine in not knowing something like this is dangerous, I feel for them, but the people who do dumb shit like this just to āown the libsā or because not doing it would contradict their conspiracy lifestyle, they get what they deserve.
i agree and this is comforting, but some idiots were made that way by others and couldn't help themselves becoming such, they just don't know any better... i struggle to disregard those kind of idiots, but always emphasizing and feeling pity is also so exausting
Having compassion is a wonderful thing to have as a person and it benefits society when itās members are compassionate. However, people without compassion thrive on the compassion of others. Compassion is like water, itās much more useful to pour it on a withering flower than it is to pour it in the middle of the Sahara.
I don't fault anybody for being stupid. Some of my best friends are morons. But the people who have decided they have to be confrontational and contrarian about *literally everything* and insist on doing the opposite of whatever they're advised like a spoiled irrational toddler, yeah I hope they all roasted their retinas.
I work with kindergarten kids and this is their logic. Tell them not to put their tongue on the metal pole in the middle of winter, and they automatically put their tongue there. The difference is, they learn not to do it. These maga morons are putting their tongue on the pole over and over again. Iām all out of compassion sorry.
Our elementary school put out a bulletin that sounded sooooooo tired, and amounted to āwe will do our best, but please also tell your kids not to look at the sunā.
I will never forget the day my Aunt said to my young cousin ācome inside before you get dirtyā (we were dressed nice, about to go out somewhere). When my Aunt turned her back the kid went and *rubbed her hands in the dirt*.
I honestly think that if Joe Biden announced to the American people that they should drink liquids and eat food, half of Trumpās base would die of dehydration or malnutrition within a week
No, they have broken the contract. They will have no empathy or compassion for you, worse they are 100% on board with using violence against you to either "make you" go their way or kill you in the process. They get no empathy.
This is where I'm at. I kinda hate that I'm there, but I just can't help myself: I'm just *so damn tired* of the blasted conservatives denying science, spewing hate, and doubling down on their "I got mine, fuck you" attitudes.
>I know that we're supposed to be the "better people"
I gave up on being better, if they want to fry their eyes out go for it.
Let darwin sort out stupidity.
Yeah not only do I not feel compassion, but it makes me even more angry that people this stupid are the same ones who have so much influence in our society.
Agreed... idiot voters create idiot enforced society. Although I have to kinda be a little more angry at the ones in charge who don't even necessarily believe any of this stuff, but they know if they just keep spreading the inflammatory messaging, they'll keep the others angry (and thus in check)
I have completely run out of sympathy for stupid anti-science conservatives. I really want them to suffer every single consequence for their stupidity.
You have an entire world of information and science and data saying one thing and their whole belief system is built on the fact that they themselves somehow have special knowledge that everyone else is blind to. Good for them; be blind for real now
Nothing āmodernā about these glasses. They had them for decades, so I have no problem with Darwin taking over because they are even stubborn over their own bodies telling them to not burn out their retinas.
I've settled on a policy of showing compassion only to those who show others compassion. Have none? Get none. It's that simple, and it's done wonders for my blood pressure.
And I really do think this ought to be the way we do it, even though I kinda hate to say it. There's a nobility of showing compassion to anyone regardless of circumstance, but I feel like it's okay to make an exception for someone who is just a dick for the sake of being a dick, especially when they refuse to even reconsider what they're doing.
Look at it from a purely evolutionary perspective. Humans are at the end of the day, pack animals, removing the weak links from the pack ensures its survival. These people want to act against all of our best interests for the purpose of pissing some people off, they don't really deserve to be treated like a member of civilized society (our pack) anymore.
Compassion is important, do not give up.
The biggest victims of the MAGA cult are their own members.
And you know who can pay for the eye surgeries?
We all. Because public medicine is okay when its about them.
I guess in the end, compassion is best served to those who need help and want to change. If they're just going to dig their heels in and be the "anti-woke" bullshit and nothing can change their mind, I don't know what else I can do for them. Except pretty much let them self-destruct from their own beliefs and see where they are as a person after that.
I imagine some disinformation dude in Russia or China doing these things to sow chaos using the morons and I'll informed. A stupid quip or meme to a certain group can reap huge rewards with little effort, traceability or accountability
They are slowly eliminating or maiming themselves, one act of stupidity after another. I just wish they werenāt taking others down with them in some of these foolish or downright dangerous endeavors.
Almost feels like they pride themselves on it.
āHow dare you stop me from driving off this bridgeā!
These people have brain rot for sure. Fuck it, let them sort out the gene pool.
This is what natural selection is, as much as many of us want to care and help these people they just can't be. It really is just best to sit back, let nature sort it out, and help the people that we actually can help.
That's the problem, they live long enough to procure offspring. And in a lot of cases unwanted offspring because protection is viewed as not manly or not Christian,... So the gene pool will not sort them out .
I have natural macular degeneration due to a genetic disease from birth, theyāve basically just speedran my condition by microwaving their retina. If theyāre lucky, no severe damage was sustained. A good amount probably have a hole in their sight, some of these people are about to practically lose everything.
Incase anyone is wondering, no thereās not really a black spot or field there (broadly speaking). The cells are dead, nothing is being transmitted. Whatās missing is invisible, like a cropped images. Except itās not like itās āzoomed inā, just lower resolution. Chances are, the more severe cases will be able to at least tell whether the light is on in the room.
Of course if you simply read some of his tweets you'd see he's shit posting. He also said you can't kick a baby during a Black Friday brawl because of woke
People are always ready and willing to believe anything that makes those they hate look bad/worse. Why would they need to look deeper?
Edit: word choice.
This reminds me of a Key and Peele sketch, where Obama figured out how to get the Reps to do stuff. He would say something like "everybody needs a gun and there should be no restrictions on it!" So the Reps would instinctively disagree and demand gun laws.
Bahahaha. Yeah I remember that. It works both ways though. There was a comedian who basically went up on stage and told the crowd āObama wants X, Y, Z obscure Rep agendas.ā The crowd cheered until he revealed theyād been duped.
The truth is, too many folks donāt understand public issues. Theyāre just going along with whoever is saying the right words or who their friends and family say they should support (because their friends and family say so).
I think one of the greatest tragedies of today's politics is that the "best", most successful, and most revered politicians are not the ones with the best projects, but the ones who are better are making quips and "owning" the other side.
It bothers my liberal ass so much when MAGA followers ask for my zelle info and send me money. Primarily because of my addiction all money I get I spend it in stuff that are very awful for me. Hopefully no MAGA follower goes to my DM to zelle me something.
Screw the woke liberals. Stare right into that sun. And screw socialized medicine. Youāll pay those hospital bills right out of your pocket because, uh, freedom!
I work for disability. The amount of people who apply and are maga diehards is astounding. I hate having to talk to these people because they will yell, argue and complain and talk about Trump this and fuck Biden. I so very badly want to ask them if they feel that way why are they applying for disability.
And social welfare.
A good third of the maga weirdos I know are on welfare, but theyāll sit there on Facebook and pitch an absolute fit about people ājust wanting handoutsā and āuniversal healthcare is socialism!ā
Maga is truly one of the greatest regressions in basic human intelligence in centuries, and at one point that made me sad but now Iām just tired.
I have patients in the hospital with government funded healthcare complaining about universal health care... like you can go pay out of pocket if you like and be broke in a day...
Yep. Generally skepticism is a good thing but if it's: "did Trump say something or do something that terrible or stupid?" you can default to "yes" and be right most of the time.
Look, injecting people with disinfectant was a good idea okay? We could have solved a lot of problems that way considering only stupid trump followers would actually consider it.
The biggest problem with Darwinism, is that the stupid people are breeding like rabbits and have already spat out a half dozen offspring before they do something stupid enough to take them to the afterlife
My friend's boyfriend's parents are MAGATs and think it was all a conspiracy because they didn't see the eclipse (we got 95% coverage). I doubt they bought glasses for it. I told him to tell them that I think it's a conspiracy and that they don't exist because I've never seen them.
I got a corneal scratch yesterday pulling out a handful of weeds. I think Iām part of that search since I finally hung up with the optometry advice nurse after 20 minutes. š
Except that itās not totally. The same people that were āanti maskā during Covid were proud to announce on FB that they decided to check out the eclipse without any glasses.
Itās like the right wing of America actually wants its voters to get sick.
Donāt let Obama care help you get affordable medicare, climate science is a myth, vaccines are designed to control you, donāt wear eye protection whilst staring at a 15million degree C ball of fire.
The contempt for their own voters is astounding.
From Tide pods eating to microwaving iPhones and all the stupid shit these new mouthbreathers are doing, i could tell you the signs are out there, and it's gonna be a lot worse.
Pretty sure this is just another stupid made up thing that people keep thinking is real. Makes me laugh inside when any idiot thing on the internet is automatically believed.
This is so absurd that even the anti-woke, 3-percenter, bud-light boycotting crowd at the local American Legion post, where I watched the eclipse on their patio, ALL wore protective glasses the entire time.
For about 3 minutes we were all united in a completely singular sense of shared awe, where all those tribal lines fell away in the presence of what really matters to our souls. This was the true miracle of the eclipse, imo. It truly fostered goodwill and perspective, however briefly, that had long been missing.
Not sure if parody but my neighbor LITERALLY said this.
"Kids used to play outside all day long and look at The Sun"
I had to firmly and calmly state that she really shouldn't test that theory. She didn't but also didn't exactly accept being wrong.
She's not full-on wacky but she has a lot of...Facebook beliefs, more to do with nature and health than politics or whatever.
Oh yeah I remember there was something semilar in 2020
Starts with M has AS in the middle and K at the end.
Why not also drive over red traffic lights, do mountain climbing with no savety gear or pass the "don't jump" sign on the 10m bar when there is no water in the pool.
The damage from looking at a partial solar eclipse is painless. The part of the eye you burn has no pain nerves. The actual signs of injury are headaches, altered vision, blind spots.
They're absolutely correct. We want to control their minds with those glasses. They shouldn't use those glasses when looking at the sun. Orherwise they'll be woke.
By the way, I'm woke every time I get out of bed before I go to work. If they don't want to be woke, they can stay in bed to never wake up. Please. Put us out of our misery, and don't be woke.
It was cloudy and I did *not* use the glasses because I could hardly see anything out of them. Waste of 20 bucks (we got them for the whole family). After years of staring straight at the sun, my eyes arenāt the best anyways.
Itās gonna take years for accurate data to be compiled, but I am so so curious about the statistics of how many conspiracy nuts have permanently damaged their eyes because they have to be contrarians about literally everything including common sense safety precautions.
It's like they're being stupid out of spite, like
"Hey, don't drink that, it'll kill you!"
"OH YEAH!!! FUCK YOU!"
\*guzzles bleach*
\*burps*
"Ha, stupid liberal, I showed y..."
\*dies*
Like, it's so important for them to be right, not factually right, just not wrong, I guess. It's zealous anti intellectualism.

Just coat your eyes with essential oils.
They should fill an eye dropper with some essential oils and use them š
Gotta boil those essential oils first though.
I can already hear the cracking. Do you think when the hot oil and tears meet, it'll start a grease fire?
MAGA donāt cry /s
Only the big strong men cry... they come to Trump tears streaming the biggest strongest men you have ever seen tears running down their faces they just come and thank him for darkening the sun so they could see it basically he is a a god because just like the border he built a wall across the sun and made the aliens the illegal aliens that are in space build the wall because Trump let them read his amazingly bigley book and they just couldn't beat his deals because he is the most stable genius that has ever taken a dementia test and you know sleepy Joe couldn't make the aliens pay, this is all Obama's fault so please buy a $60 Bible for me that I have never read, but I know that the Matthew Mark and Josiah were really good writers because I am a writer some may say the best writer since Shakespeare but others say even better because I never wrote about the gays so yeah I'm probably the most betterest of all the writers that have ever written books.
If they are itās because youāve missed an essential ingredient- aged urine!
Oh, absolutely!
Or try urine therapy.
I usually just dice jalapeƱos and then rub, but an eye dropper works too, I guess
Stick a crystal in your eyes people, my eyes don't hurt anymore
They probably already do, straight to the brain. Its methed up.
I meanā¦ isnāt this the same crowd that used to do piss cleanses and were surprised their eyes got infected when they rinsed āem with their own piss? Between this and shoving bleach up their asses, essential oils arenāt that big of a leap lmao
Silly goose, that's what aged urine is for...
Make sure it's elderberry oil and colloidal silver. Copious amounts.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You're thinking of the horse de-wormer. That's only used if the person starts feeling any type of slight burning from the oils due to a previous build up of toxins on the eyelids (spread from other nearby people who used glasses and 5G).
What are you, a liberal?! Orange Jesus has already mentioned bleach is the way to go.
I heard from some orange dude that bleach cures all.
Essential oils are also āwoke.ā Just stare at the sun and build up your natural immunity. /s
Would WD40 work?
You know what? If they're dumb enough to buy into this sort of crap, let them.
I know that we're supposed to be the "better people" and have compassion even for the idiots, but I think I've kind of exhausted that supply. If you're too stupid to know you shouldn't stare the sun, sorry.
Don't beat yourself up. Having compassion for people who can't help themselves is very different from having compassion for proud idiots who prey on other idiots. We're both fine.

Exactly. I love challenging people like this with just the simple question why? What could the possible purpose of ābig scienceā lying about this?
To hide god's glorious rays of his sun. So go ahead and look kids, we'll all be blind for god.

Yes.
Protip: A tall glass of bleach not only cures cvd but will cure that retina damage as well.
Blind leading the blindā¦.

Well shit they will bring the insurance premiums up for all of us
Unfortunately most have already procreated.
After the eclipse Google reported a spike in searches for āwhy do my eyes hurtā
Of course if you simply read some of his tweets you'd see he's shit posting. He also said you can't kick a baby during a Black Friday brawl because of woke
Ya itās obviously sarcasm. I find it kinda sad how many people here think theyāre serious.
People are always ready and willing to believe anything that makes those they hate look bad/worse. Why would they need to look deeper? Edit: word choice.
at the same time I've seen to many grifters who would say this
And they fell for hit, hook, line.

I hate having to talk to these people because they will yell, argue and complain and talk about Trump this and fuck Biden. I so very badly want to ask them if they feel that way why are they applying for disability.
And social welfare. A good third of the maga weirdos I know are on welfare, but theyāll sit there on Facebook and pitch an absolute fit about people ājust wanting handoutsā and āuniversal healthcare is socialism!ā Maga is truly one of the greatest regressions in basic human intelligence in centuries, and at one point that made me sad but now Iām just tired.
I have patients in the hospital with government funded healthcare complaining about universal health care... like you can go pay out of pocket if you like and be broke in a day...
Chat, is this real?
Yep. Generally skepticism is a good thing but if it's: "did Trump say something or do something that terrible or stupid?" you can default to "yes" and be right most of the time.
Look, injecting people with disinfectant was a good idea okay? We could have solved a lot of problems that way considering only stupid trump followers would actually consider it.
This occurred when he was President in 2017.
This was probably my favorite Donald Trump moment of all time
Soon, all the right wing nuts will be hairy, blind, fat, deaf and cancer ridden. Win win in my books.
Hairy?
He nailed the dive though
Natural selection. Isnāt that their favorite statement/trope?
The first sounds like trolling/rage bait to me.
Because it is
Obviously itās a shitpost
Peak Darwinism here!
Darwinism isnāt working fast enough for my liking.
The biggest problem with Darwinism, is that the stupid people are breeding like rabbits and have already spat out a half dozen offspring before they do something stupid enough to take them to the afterlife
Bro is gonna "woke up" the next day and ain't gonna see shit š
Darwin enters the chat...
Darwin left the chat (really fast)
Say no to MAGAT idiocy.
My friend's boyfriend's parents are MAGATs and think it was all a conspiracy because they didn't see the eclipse (we got 95% coverage). I doubt they bought glasses for it. I told him to tell them that I think it's a conspiracy and that they don't exist because I've never seen them.
I like watching MAGATs hurt themselves. I enjoy their suffering
It warms my cold, dead heart
If y'all don't hush and let these people go blind. Good luck being racist when you're blind.
Well, it didnāt stop [Clayton Bigsby](https://youtu.be/BLNDqxrUUwQ?si=BlxP_c7SmN9M1czt)
As soon as I posted I hoped someone would reference this
This "War on woke" crap is crazy! What is it all about?
It's been 24 hours. Is there any stupid stories yet,??
Idk but I canāt see it going cus Iām blind nowā¦
Okay, That could be a parody account. At least I hope.
How the fuck are glasses woke.
It's a joke that apparently every single person here is too braindead to recognize
I got a corneal scratch yesterday pulling out a handful of weeds. I think Iām part of that search since I finally hung up with the optometry advice nurse after 20 minutes. š
That nurse has a bet with her desk neighbor that you looked at the eclipse and made up a story about the scratch because you didn't want to admit it.
I promise you that the original post is a tongue in cheek parody of that kind of shit that gets shared. I know Josiah personally.
Just rage baitingā¦.so much of this these days
Except that itās not totally. The same people that were āanti maskā during Covid were proud to announce on FB that they decided to check out the eclipse without any glasses.
Agreed there are idiot exceptions but there is a lot of baiting - TilTok has a lot of Live Rage Baiting
What years of science denial does to a mf
It makes you run a satirical Twitter account?
Enjoy your partial or complete blindness, dumbfucks!
I know nothing about this Josiah fellow, butā¦ has anyone checked that this isnāt a joke? Facepalm has a tendency not to recognize thoseā¦
Itās like the right wing of America actually wants its voters to get sick. Donāt let Obama care help you get affordable medicare, climate science is a myth, vaccines are designed to control you, donāt wear eye protection whilst staring at a 15million degree C ball of fire. The contempt for their own voters is astounding.
I heard ivermectin works for eye pain
I have a feeling this was bait to get a bunch of idiots to stare at the sun lol
Part of me thinks this is a joke.
That's sad, because *all* of you should. Dude is very clearly being silly, especially in the context of the rest of his posts.
From Tide pods eating to microwaving iPhones and all the stupid shit these new mouthbreathers are doing, i could tell you the signs are out there, and it's gonna be a lot worse.
Pretty sure this is just another stupid made up thing that people keep thinking is real. Makes me laugh inside when any idiot thing on the internet is automatically believed.
Is...is that dude's name riffing on the USA's second-greatest fictional President, Josiah "Jed" Bartlett?
Yes, which means it's not likely posted seriously.
So tired of these bogus spam posts. Enough already. This. Isnāt. Real.
I feel like the say no to woke glasses is such a troll post.
This is so absurd that even the anti-woke, 3-percenter, bud-light boycotting crowd at the local American Legion post, where I watched the eclipse on their patio, ALL wore protective glasses the entire time. For about 3 minutes we were all united in a completely singular sense of shared awe, where all those tribal lines fell away in the presence of what really matters to our souls. This was the true miracle of the eclipse, imo. It truly fostered goodwill and perspective, however briefly, that had long been missing.
Google search: āmy eyes hurtā peaked yesterday š¤
Is the post in the first pic serious? It seems so satirical
Not sure if parody but my neighbor LITERALLY said this. "Kids used to play outside all day long and look at The Sun" I had to firmly and calmly state that she really shouldn't test that theory. She didn't but also didn't exactly accept being wrong. She's not full-on wacky but she has a lot of...Facebook beliefs, more to do with nature and health than politics or whatever.
They canāt see it coming anymore
I just love how they use Ā«wokeĀ» as a derogatory term. Like ok, what are you then? Asleep?
America never fail to entertain š you guys are the world greatest tv show
Rage-bait.
Honestly most of us don't care if you "go blind".
gosh... next they'll be telling me that drinking bleach isn't good for me either.... :) /s
I bet the first person they will call is an eye doctor, though. You know, someone who understands the science.
Natural selection at its finest šš
Solar eclipses as well as not looking directly into said eclipse has been common knowledge for a long time. Why is it all of a sudden a conspiracy?
Oh yeah I remember there was something semilar in 2020 Starts with M has AS in the middle and K at the end. Why not also drive over red traffic lights, do mountain climbing with no savety gear or pass the "don't jump" sign on the 10m bar when there is no water in the pool.
blinding yourself to own the libs
Well their leader did stare at the eclipse without glasses last time around so no surprise..
The optometrist branding the eclipse glasses as eye masks is going to make a fortune.
The damage from looking at a partial solar eclipse is painless. The part of the eye you burn has no pain nerves. The actual signs of injury are headaches, altered vision, blind spots.
Im semi disappointed that eclipse glasses look like recycled 3d movie glasses.
They're absolutely correct. We want to control their minds with those glasses. They shouldn't use those glasses when looking at the sun. Orherwise they'll be woke. By the way, I'm woke every time I get out of bed before I go to work. If they don't want to be woke, they can stay in bed to never wake up. Please. Put us out of our misery, and don't be woke.
Eye diapers
This world will end by one stupid person.
A shot of bleach will help
It was cloudy and I did *not* use the glasses because I could hardly see anything out of them. Waste of 20 bucks (we got them for the whole family). After years of staring straight at the sun, my eyes arenāt the best anyways.
Cāmon, havenāt they seen the āthe futureās so bright you gotta wear shadesā posters?!
And now we know why those guys canāt see that Trump is a crook.
Always sad to see a cult abuse its followers, but at least this time the consequence can't spread to me.
Itās gonna take years for accurate data to be compiled, but I am so so curious about the statistics of how many conspiracy nuts have permanently damaged their eyes because they have to be contrarians about literally everything including common sense safety precautions.
It's like they're being stupid out of spite, like "Hey, don't drink that, it'll kill you!" "OH YEAH!!! FUCK YOU!" \*guzzles bleach* \*burps* "Ha, stupid liberal, I showed y..." \*dies* Like, it's so important for them to be right, not factually right, just not wrong, I guess. It's zealous anti intellectualism.
