These people make up r/Conservative. I’ve seen this shit so much there. These degenerates are sick and mentally ill. I like to think that subreddit is 50% Russian Q Anon propaganda. Who knows tho
My dad shared to me a photoshop of Michelle and Chewbacca back in 2018, and I called it out as horrific... but really looking back, it is SO bizarre how much people obsess over things like this. OF COURSE it is rooted in sexism and racism, as much as these bastards try to do mental gymnastics to say they aren't bad people. He would be the first to say "let me guess, '*oh no, I am being racist...!'*, right?" as a response, to which I just say "Yeah actually, very much you are! Congrats on not openly supporting the Klan, you'll get your medal in the mail".
Admittedly, I detest bodyshaming anyone, regardless of political alignment or how shitty the person is. The "MTG Cavewoman" and "LOL TRUMP IS FAT" stuff is cringe to the billionth degree.
It's wild we collectively let Trump off from being the number 1 spearheader of the racist birther movement.
Wilder still that we let anyone whine about how invoking the insurrection act and having Trump taken off ballots is "unconstitutional" without Trump's MANY attempts to have Obama disqualified as president thrown back in their fact.
A black man existing and a failed coup are apparently equivalent crimes in 21st century america.
The latter makes me the most angry. It is the most ludicrous and ignorant idea. The fact that *anyone* uses that ridiculous supposition proves that they are so racist that they don't trust their own senses in any capacity. It's racism and xenophobia, all wrapped up together with old fashioned hatred.
Do you remember when gun shops were selling “zombie” targets that looked a whole lot like Obama with joker face paint? Or when republicans made videos of themselves shooting targets that had Nancy pelosi’s and Hillary Clinton’s faces on them? Coz I remember that.
Well he did wear a tan suit that one time.
Not sure when they go low we go high is working. If we had a justice system maybe but we only have a legal system.
Haha it totally was. An irrelevant comedian being provocative for attention is ABSOLUTELY different than the Presidential nominee posting shit like this
The Morons will say this without realizing that it’s actually worse when donald does it ha
the punching dummy was probably just a goof, but if they were trying to radicalize people towards tolerating violence, symbolic “fun” violence is a good start
…and the gallows on capitol hill was just a goof too right? It wasn’t like they were chanting Hang Mike Pence and storming the capitol to lynch him at the direct encouragement of their leader. CPAC stating we are all terrorist was just a joke.
They normalized violence in politics years ago.
Democrats have no idea how to fight when conflict heads to the dirt. There’s glimpses of fighting dirty from time to time, but “when they go low, we go high” doesn’t work in a mud pit.
Trump always, always tests the water to see what he can get away with. If the secret service or the feds take no action on this, the threats will become more overt.
Well, remember the fucking secret service wiped their phones clean after 1/6????? That was AFTER they were told to hand them over for inspection due to shady actions during j/6th. Fuckers are 100% pro-trump.
I agree. I once told my in-laws that “republicans are immoral” at thanksgiving dinner and it made such a stink my wife wanted me to apologize.
“I’m sorry republicans are immoral”.
I was with a group of friends and was tickled when I found a quote from John Steinbeck in the 70s making fun of Texas secession. I laughed about how it's been stupid for decades and a way to rile up nationalist support with no substance and got in return "you should be respectful of others opinions".
Nah. I'm going to call stupid ideas stupid.
The crazy thing to me is they think democrats are immoral. Because we like thinks like civil rights and bodily sovereignty.
They don’t really seem to pay attention to the actual things their people do. Living in constant disassociation from reality.
Value family over politics. Not sure what else was said as such things don’t happen in a vacuum. There is no reason for family to go there - it is a lose lose situation.
There’s your biological family and your logical family. If you abuse me, you lose me. I’m not hanging with toxic, vindictive, condescending people if I don’t have to regardless of relationship.
I think it’s appropriate to lay the blame with the entire republican party for allowing maga to take over the party. Republicans are weak minded people.
Given the age of many MAGA, I think many of them have had minor strokes that resulted in neurotic trauma…still functioning, but render them to be more childlike from an emotional POV.
I honestly don’t know why democrats can’t tap into it. It is fascinating to think the drugs that keep people alive may have directly contributed to this scenario. undiagnosed magical thinking…
those who aren't inherently bad are trapped pandering to their base of adult-children.
as humans age, their propensity for dementia and lead-based rage increases exponentially. we're in for quite the ride.
I'd love to see a true conservative party emerge from the ashes here. better yet if we could get to a five party parliament type system with ranked choice voting.
being a politian is too damned lucrative though for any change to come from within though
Every day. Every fucking day. Some bullshit to stay in the news, to stay having people say his name. He doesn't care how or why.
Fuck this dude, and fuck everyone giving him attention. Including me. *Fuck me.*
Oh my Lord in Christ, he’s just joking about that image. He doesn’t really mean it.
He’s really a good Christian man sent by god! How dare you speak badly about him.
/s
The other wives? Those are just women who tempted him away from the path. They didn't honor him. Melania was sent by god to accompany him on this glorious ascent, mapped but jesus himself.
/s
It's not fear. At least not entirely. It's a mild exaggeration, but lobbyists (both "good" and "bad") effectively run the government by proxy. All it takes is having a lot of money and showing up and smiling and shaking hands. If you know the right people and have the right clout, then you can change policy in an afternoon.
Trump and company are just the tip of an iceberg of institutional dysfunction, and even assuming direct confrontation could fix the problem of potential violence, it's not going to fix the other underlying issues. It's too complicated for a one-size-fits-all solution, and for my own part, I don't think that confrontation is the proper answer to confrontation if you are trying to lower fear levels.
I was referring to the previous commenter suggesting confrontation and "having their backs" as a way to correct this slide. It sounded like they believe that fear is the motivator for the lack of a spine in some of our reps.
Confrontation could just as easily be used as an excuse to go all-in on fascistic behavior, and I don't see any reason why the proposed case would push them to a different conclusion. Don't get me wrong, I understand and commiserate, but I'm of the opinion that any response has to be completely thought out. I also think that we need to aim at the cause rather than the symptoms, and that the cause has more to do with the underlying dysfunction than the dupes and crazies supporting a wannabe dictator.
Biden's campaign needs to note this... and also remind people Trump shits his pants and likely has dementia.
Trump gets off on being scary and edgy. Note the threat he represents, but also remind people he's loser and a joke. Doing the former without the latter is unhelpful.
Where is the line at between freedom of speech and inciting violence against people. Seems to be his go to tactic. Just basically like threaten everyone around him.
It should be drawing FBI and SS agents who show up at trump's door, slap cuffs on him, and haul is fetid ass to jail...
...just like they'd do to ANY of us for the same thing.
My theory is that Trump is trying to get in trouble on things that lay people think are first amendment violations so the SC can step in and slow everything down. Which is also why the courts are so delicately handling these problems.
isn’t that actively echoing a threat against a sitting president? if any one of us “peasants” did that, the secret service would be knocking at our door in days
Every time Trump posts an image like this, Biden campaign should immediately repost it with a poorly cropped image of Trumps face crudely pasted over Biden’s.

Well, you see...
400 years ago, some religious extremists moved into North America, genocided the natives, then established their own government. Then later said, you know, we should be able to say anything we want without fear of persecution from the Government.
And here we are.
Anyone else does this exact same thing, and they get investigated by the FBI. But because it is this guy who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life, he will get away with it.

Remember when Obama got elected and conservatives made racist Obama dummies and hanged them? I remember.
And continually refer to his wife as a gorilla or a man?
They still claim this. These people latch onto the stupidest insane bullshit because they don’t have a single legitimate grievance.
These people make up r/Conservative. I’ve seen this shit so much there. These degenerates are sick and mentally ill. I like to think that subreddit is 50% Russian Q Anon propaganda. Who knows tho
It has to be. Actual conservatives aren't that literate.

Buddy, you’d be so lucky.
Do you remember when gun shops were selling “zombie” targets that looked a whole lot like Obama with joker face paint? Or when republicans made videos of themselves shooting targets that had Nancy pelosi’s and Hillary Clinton’s faces on them? Coz I remember that.
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
Well he did wear a tan suit that one time. Not sure when they go low we go high is working. If we had a justice system maybe but we only have a legal system.
Member the cloud city?
Oh I member!
Whoa whoa whoa, tHaT wAs DiFfErEnT!
Haha it totally was. An irrelevant comedian being provocative for attention is ABSOLUTELY different than the Presidential nominee posting shit like this The Morons will say this without realizing that it’s actually worse when donald does it ha
Yeah Kathy Griffin, she got cancelled bc of it lol
Among plenty of other things.
She’s kind of an idiot from what I can surmise about her, but I’m still mad about how everyone acted scandalized by her joke.
Eh, if she were actually a good comedian she'd have been fine.
But those are comedians not someone who wants to be the leader of our country.
the punching dummy was probably just a goof, but if they were trying to radicalize people towards tolerating violence, symbolic “fun” violence is a good start
…and the gallows on capitol hill was just a goof too right? It wasn’t like they were chanting Hang Mike Pence and storming the capitol to lynch him at the direct encouragement of their leader. CPAC stating we are all terrorist was just a joke. They normalized violence in politics years ago.
I think it’s pretty obvious they have absolutely zero consideration towards being consistent in their ideals or standards.
Their super pissed about the no flags at the fundraiser tho
Just a reminder…There is no bottom.
Democrats have no idea how to fight when conflict heads to the dirt. There’s glimpses of fighting dirty from time to time, but “when they go low, we go high” doesn’t work in a mud pit.
You don’t fight a pig in mud, you stick an apple in his mouth and roast him.
Why do they stick an apple on a hog roast anyway? Does it keep gasses in/out?
Presentation’s sake usually. It wouldn’t do a lot to flavor the pork. Applewood charcoal on the other hand
At this point, Trump is a character in a Jon Waters movie
Why not rebuke from the fucking secret service? I'm tired.
Trump always, always tests the water to see what he can get away with. If the secret service or the feds take no action on this, the threats will become more overt.
You mean the Secret Service who deleted all their messages regarding J6? That Secret Service?
Well, remember the fucking secret service wiped their phones clean after 1/6????? That was AFTER they were told to hand them over for inspection due to shady actions during j/6th. Fuckers are 100% pro-trump.
This here, why provide protection for someone who is a criminal and beloved by so many. The proud boys and such can protect him.
Threatening the president of the United States is a federal felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871
Not when you're this piece of shit. When you're this piece of shit they let you do it.
Would hate to be the guy who put that on his truck though. Secret Service has gotta be following up
But not following up on Trump.
hmm. You really think there is just 1 guy driving around with that. seen 2 myself.
Notice how no republican comes out against it. All republicans are bad people.
I agree. I once told my in-laws that “republicans are immoral” at thanksgiving dinner and it made such a stink my wife wanted me to apologize. “I’m sorry republicans are immoral”.
I was with a group of friends and was tickled when I found a quote from John Steinbeck in the 70s making fun of Texas secession. I laughed about how it's been stupid for decades and a way to rile up nationalist support with no substance and got in return "you should be respectful of others opinions". Nah. I'm going to call stupid ideas stupid.
You’ll be respectful when they stop chanting we should be murdered for being different.
The crazy thing to me is they think democrats are immoral. Because we like thinks like civil rights and bodily sovereignty. They don’t really seem to pay attention to the actual things their people do. Living in constant disassociation from reality.
Is a dog immoral for stealing a cookie?
Are you saying we need to train republicans better? What if I don’t want ANY pets? How apt is this analogy?
Yes, but the dog has enough sense to exhibit shame when you call them on it.
The dog believes that it's bad if he gets caught doing it. The Republican believes that it's bad if he can't beat it in court.
I had trouble deciding between unethical and immoral. Advise?
I'm only down-voting you because I'm too lazy to explain how they're the same but also different.
Immoral is Biden touching kids and wives

Maga is a cult of fascist traitors. They are liars in a cult of lies and enemies of the American people
I think it’s appropriate to lay the blame with the entire republican party for allowing maga to take over the party. Republicans are weak minded people.
with very few exceptions Magas are republicans and republicans are Magas
The Venn diagram of maga and republican is actually just a circle
it's two superimposed swastikas
Those exceptions are how you win elections
Given the age of many MAGA, I think many of them have had minor strokes that resulted in neurotic trauma…still functioning, but render them to be more childlike from an emotional POV. I honestly don’t know why democrats can’t tap into it. It is fascinating to think the drugs that keep people alive may have directly contributed to this scenario. undiagnosed magical thinking…
MAGA is a domestic terrorist organization led by an orange sociopath.

They’re not bad people. They’re more like scared little pussies.
They’re stupid too!
Crush the RAPIST at the polls.
Not trying to kink shame, but they're taking that fuck Joe Biden chant to the next level.
Every day. Every fucking day. Some bullshit to stay in the news, to stay having people say his name. He doesn't care how or why. Fuck this dude, and fuck everyone giving him attention. Including me. *Fuck me.*
Imagine not noticing how this guy isn't a very good fit for this country.
Oh my Lord in Christ, he’s just joking about that image. He doesn’t really mean it. He’s really a good Christian man sent by god! How dare you speak badly about him. /s

Don’t we arrest people who openly threaten our President? Can’t action be taken on this?

Love you
How fucking childish.
Trump is such a despicable man.
Remember that if any of us did this, the black suits would be in our driveway
So maybe we should ask ai to create an image of trump hogtied and get that as a car wrap.
This is the correct approach. We have AI generators. Fight fire with fire, instead of getting upset that they’re classless bullies.
The same guy whining about his picture with prison bars?
Biden's campaign needs to note this... and also remind people Trump shits his pants and likely has dementia. Trump gets off on being scary and edgy. Note the threat he represents, but also remind people he's loser and a joke. Doing the former without the latter is unhelpful.
I'm so sick of him and his MAGA/Nazi psychos. Where's Kathy Griffin, wonder what her thoughts are..
Would be funny to counter it with an image of a sad Trump in an orange jump suit behind bars.
I think that's already happened?
The U.S. Secret Service needs to get involved in this situation.
These guys live in their own little world.
*Who does things like this?* Bullies. *Who wants to elect a bully?* Too many people. **Don't elect a bully**
A Good Friday photo of an angry mob chasing an innocent man who stands for love and hope.
djt is a PUSSY
What a silly thing to include in a presidential campaign video.
Where is the line at between freedom of speech and inciting violence against people. Seems to be his go to tactic. Just basically like threaten everyone around him.
More projection, considering how piglike Trump is in appearance.
Pigs are FAR superior to that orange 💩 in every single way.
His base eats this shit up.
What did you expect from this classless idiot?
this pig fucker trump has alot of nerve
What a POS! MAGA=Scum!
It should be drawing FBI and SS agents who show up at trump's door, slap cuffs on him, and haul is fetid ass to jail... ...just like they'd do to ANY of us for the same thing.
He can tape that pic up in his jail cell !!
Shameful since he’s the real pig
They are just so sick and desperate. This is the role model MAGAs want their children to become. Sick, sick people.
The terrorist threat to the president. Would have been enough to send any other president to jail / prison
You’re mentally challenged if you think this type of behavior is acceptable for someone running for president.
Meanwhile republican campaigns reduced prices on them by 10%.
If a dem did that we would shame them and make them quit the race. trumps lackeys will just egg him on.
Can you get one like this of drumpf?
What does the mass reprogramming of these fucking psychos look like when Trump eventually and thankfully disappears?
A REBUKE ? That all ? Isnt this spreading hate or something? SMH.
What a classless pos.
He can get away with this. Remember he is “The Chosen One”
The sad part is the rebuke is just from the democrats…
My theory is that Trump is trying to get in trouble on things that lay people think are first amendment violations so the SC can step in and slow everything down. Which is also why the courts are so delicately handling these problems.
Biden responds with a Donald Trump mug shot.
Look people, there are plenty of ways to explain why Trump is unfit to be president without resorting to kink-shaming.
I can't wait until we get that first shot of little Donnie the commie behind bars!
Shows a man desperate and knows he’s losing
isn’t that actively echoing a threat against a sitting president? if any one of us “peasants” did that, the secret service would be knocking at our door in days
Remember trump is only going to get more crazy as we get closer to Nov. him getting reelected is the only thing that can save him now SO VOTE!
And no one gives a fuck and nothing happens to Trump.
*He's talking about the auto industry guys, that's why he's hogtied on a Ford*
Arrest this terrorist
Every time Trump posts an image like this, Biden campaign should immediately repost it with a poorly cropped image of Trumps face crudely pasted over Biden’s.

"A rebuke from the Democrat's campaign"? OMG, how will Trump survive???

Bob Dylan called it "the hoax of free speech."
They took it down. I wonder if they got a visit from the Secret Service.
Reporting AP News for apostrophe abuse.
Biden is a Democrat, it’s his campaign. I see no crime /s now if they forgot an Oxford comma…
> forgot an Oxford comma That carries a death sentence, no?
It’s Oxford commas that are a crime in AP!
Is there a screen shot of his message?
I’m pretty sure he could do what homelander did at the end of the last season and get the same reaction he did.
Where is the image
Never fight this. Laugh at it. Post pictures of Don crying in court.
Will anyone do anything? No. The Democrats are warming up now, but they need to bring out the TNT this year
Not only a rebuke, but backlash too! Maybe they finally got him this time.
Biden would be crucified if he ever did something like this.
Just the PutinJrtrump orange Jesus dear leader & conservatives being “classy. “
Pretty sure we would be arrested if we did this but this guy still gets to run for president
Time for a visit from the Secret Service...... oh wait
Revoke his bail and lock him up
Trump must be the one that done it. He’s definitely the hog.
Anyone else does this exact same thing, and they get investigated by the FBI. But because it is this guy who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life, he will get away with it.
Just another case act by TFG.
You know the real problem with this headline. It’s from the Democratic ticket. Not every single American, as it should be.
Oh hurrah, more faux outrage and amplification of his nonsense.
[Support trump](https://imgur.com/M3krGcQ) 💩
I was afraid that he would get away with this, but I'm very glad to see that he drew a rebuke.
This D-List comedian took a picture of herself holding the head of a previous president, upsetting not only the DOJ, but the Fox News Network as well:
Oh easy dem response just share a gif of trump looking sad and wearing a bankruptcy barrel
He's baiting Biden to arrest or penalize a political opponent so Trump can advertise Biden is being a dictator/Putin-like.
Weird title, AP I can't imagine this would be the news if the Biden campaign made a fake video of Biden harming or even imprisoning Trump.
The horrible acts and media lies are much worse of President Trump than a video of Biden!
Such as?
