Imagine growing up in a household that shit talked Republicans hardcore, and then 12 years after leaving home finding out that dad is a Trump supporter 😮💨
Did he hit his head? The lead kick in?
I’m only half joking. I had a neighbor who I used to describe as slightly conservative-leaning. He suffered a brain injury on the job and is now a full tilt QAnon MAGA goofball.
There are several studies that clearly show political conservatism is legit brain damage. It’s insidious too because their afraid of everything including admitting they have a problem so they never get help.
Are you talking about the one showing conservatives tend to have an underdeveloped sense of empathy, or are there other studies?
That’s part of it, also their brains have actual scar tissue and they have enlarged amygdalae so they’re in a constant state of fear.

Thank you for your efforts. TIL
Very interesting thanks!

I wish i knew. Both of my parents became the kinds of people i was raised NOT to be.
Oof. That’s scary to think about. One hard knock on the head, and you’re a different person.
Brother, is that you?
Godforbid you’re him, amirite?
How does that even happen?
Too much fox news.
It happened to my dad too. He got hurt and was basically sitting in front of the TV all day being brainwashed to hate “the left.”
My parents were always a bit right but they still could function. Could have a normal conversation or do an activity with them. 2010 thanksgiving was the last time I saw them and fox killed whatever was left in them.
My guess is Dad was waiting for the right person to validate some very prejudice beliefs.
What you are saying is this:
Couldn’t hear the endless barrage of republican dog whistles. Too subtle for his mind to capture.
Heard the shrill, blunt whistle loud and clear.Because everything this orange asshole is saying directly, is what most previous republicans have been implying for decades.
They’ve been incredibly successful when they’ve been subtle, too.
For example - calling the war on minorities “the war on drugs” and filling it with “refer madness” propaganda. They’ve gotten the taxpayer to foot the gigantic bill for decades now.Social media broke peoples’ brains, that fucking algorithm is tuned to keep users anxious for unnaturally prolonged periods of time.
They were warned they were the product, not the customer. They didn’t listen, they were too busy paying attention to what the algorithm was throwing their way.This feels like you’ve hit the nail on the head!! I just can’t believe I didn’t see the signs growing up. 😮💨 But there’s nothing i could do anyway. So hopefully i am better off without him in my life (10 yrs so far).
I knew a guy who was a philosophy major and his friend group was a bunch of atheist skeptics, so he knew all about logical fallacies and so on. He took a hard right turn into Pizzagate territory once Trump took office and now believes everything short of Flat Earth. (And maybe that, too. We haven’t talked in a loooooong time.)
The only way it makes sense to me is to think that if you have no moral compass, you’ll go whichever way the wind blows. Humans like to think that we’re rational, logical beings (even if nobody else is), but the truth is that we’re all driven by emotion. Strong values, such as a love of truth and hatred of bigotry, are what keep people from descending into this nonsense, not mere logic.

starting to think OP just looks like this
Do you think it will help his self-esteem if I rub one out to him?
Couldn’t hurt.
using russian anything
I shigg your digg
Oh no. My finding porn sources with greater accuracy has helped fund the war in Ukraine
If there’s one thing I trust Russians with, it’s their ability to identify porn and Anime.
Honestly it is really the best. I have this plug in called reveye which lets me just click and search something on all the major image search engines and yandex always kills them all. Tineye rarely finds shit anymore honestly.

You do you though.
Been liking this iOS shortcut, Get Sauce. Has everything.

One of my old MMO friends came out as a MAGA after a year of raiding together. Tbh, it kind of didn’t matter since we were killing shit in a game and it just didn’t come up unless I was mentioning watching certain political satire shows. He wasn’t an outstanding guy, but I’ve played with much worse people and would still consider him a friend.
Don’t play with him anymore, but that was because of his other terrible life choices, going all in on playing League.
Playing League > MAGA. Not surprising
Hey I’ve been playing since season 2 and… Anyways I’m not a Republican.
Like, yes, people that run it down deserve the death penalty, but they also deserve a fair trial as free of prejudice as possible.
A guy at my D&D table went that way. Kinda glad the nights he doesn’t come tbh. Just feel dirty associating with someone like that outside of work.
Oh hi it’s you. My wife is an immigrant, my sister-in-law is trans, I’m an angry atheist and my life work is in the environmental sector. You hate my wife, my religion, my sister-in-law, and my career. Yet here I am spending time with you freely.
It helps that in my case, the guy was mostly just enthralled in the cult of personality. Union guy, not religious, etc… If someone you know was part of a cult, you can either express concern and try and help, or leave them be. I ended up doing the latter, especially since back then maga was still a new term.
I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s a mental disease that hopefully gets recognized as such before everyone’s dead including them, by their own hands.
Shouldn’t the hats and slogan say MAGAA this time?
I mean, Trump had 4 years already.
Did he attempt to Make America Great Again and fail? Or did he make it great, it immediately stopped being great once Biden took office, and now it has to be made great again?
I read that as mage hat and was wondering what you got against d&d players

oc
TWO watermarks
Yeah okay
I make fake watermarks for my own OC because i think its funny. Please try to find an earlier posting of this picture
I appreciate this kind of humor, well played
Now that’s some twice baked OC 😂
I like to put watermarks in the middle of songs in my playlists, like a lion’s roar in the back with a Steven Hawking-like voice in the fore, saying some flat ‘n’ plastic-positive thing like “oh yeah!”.
An “awful wallful” is when you log back into Facebook for the first time in a decade and your entire friendlist have become QAnon believers.
If you ever see me in a sincere political hat, feel free to strike me down. It’s just so weird.
Wear a cowboy hat if you want people to assume you’re conservative.
I wear a cowboy hat so folks know they mess with me their cattle gon get rustled.
Will you rustle their jimmies as well?
I wear a cowboy hat because it hot outside and its Texas
I wear a cowboy hat for the sun though.
This is why I only hang out with people i haven’t met yet.
“So, yeah, Fred, you’re going to have to remove the dunce cap before we go out”
Now wait dont beseech Freds I hate Trump.
I thought this said manga hat and it’s more fitting
I thought the same thing and no it’s not!
What’s MAGA?
My Ass Got AIDS
Make Attorneys Get Attorneys
I thought it was My Attorney Got Arrested.
First one, then the other.
Attorney singularity
make america great again
Ah, thanks.
I didn’t know either. Shame I had to filter through loads of bad joke replies to find the one which seems to be the right answer.
Trump’s motto
Thanks.
Not in person, but I see on Facebook an old mate who seems to flirt with homophobia/transphobia.
I would like to think they wore it in the Larry David sense…maybe they just don’t like you that much
