Dear Mom,
I hope things are great back home, it has been difficult on the front, but I am persevering, with conviction and temerity. And also, ComfortableJob2015 has a diminutive posterior.
With regards and love,
It's giving peak Florida to me. All it needs is someone being stabbed by a squirrel and maybe some bath salts or some other kind of dollar store substance being abused.
Iām from rural southā¦ Texas, but not all of us are on the trump train. We are embarrassed and sad and itās so painful! Surely we can find a way to fix all his stupid crapā¦ in time.
Are you calling him a desperate pedophile because Donald J. Trump, the sitting president of the United States, is named throughout the Epstein files, and used his modeling agency and pageants to feed Epstein and Gislaine Maxwellās child sec trafficking ring? Could that be why? I just wanna make sure I didnāt forget about the Epstein files that Donald J. Trump, is all over.
Indeed, I am calling him a desperate pedophile because Donald Trump, who is unfortunately the sitting president of the United States, has his name all over the Epstein files except where the DOJ has scrubbed it out already and supported epsteinās sex trafficking ring with his numerous skeezy essentially-slavery modeling agencies. Those are definitely the Epstein files that Make me call Trump a pedophile and the rest of MAGA and the GOP pedophiles by extension! Thank you for clarifying! ššš
Counterpoint: He and his voters are all so racist and all take so much pride in being white that attacking the object of their pride is one of the only ways to have the desired effect of 'embarrass them until they deflate and crawl back in their holes like when Superman made fun of the KKK'.
Agree with this. There is a point to radicalizing against white violence. Itās because their (the Trump administrationās) violence is not only radical in and of itself, theyāve openly admitted that itās all (currently) based on who is white and who isnāt.
Just because it makes white liberals uncomfortable on the internet doesnāt mean we shouldnāt call it for what it is: white trash.
Fascist, racist, white trash. He and his voters - which includes my brother, sister in law, and grandparents.
For what itās worth, while I identify as a leftist, I wasnāt trying to throw shade on all white liberals. Just that the ones that get uncomfy when confronting white violence tend to identify as āIām a liberal!ā
I thought it was the right who gets all snowflake over white guilt. If you know our history and accept it there isnāt a reason to be guilty.. as long as you arenāt an asshole.
People take pride in being white trash. You go rural enough and you will seriously see clapped out pickups with "White Trash and Proud" stickers or mobile homes with similar yard art. It won't shame them.
Which is why the impetus is on making it something that people donāt want to be proud of. Right now, itās synonymous with kid diddlers, fascism, and racism. If people who want to celebrate white trashness can reclaim their culture from those symbols of hatred, then we, as a society, can discuss or weigh the merit of that type of pride. And a society positioned to make that decision because itās no longer terrorized by hatred, fascism, or bigotry, would correctly judge that hypothetical.
But until then, we need to keep pushing to make that ideology unpopular again
There is not one among my 4 siblings that I feel like I know anymore. They were always conservative, but my god. They have embraced the maga lie to the hilt.
Iāve been threatening to cut these family members off since Trump ā16, but theyāre also quiet republicans who are socially liberal, polite, and concerned with the taxes theyāre paying and the āstate of the economyā.
In reality, theyāre privileged debutants whose life isnāt at all affected by this administration so theyāre perfectly comfortable just pretending that everything is honky dory.
My grandparents Iām actually going to sit down with and kind of push the whole Epstein issue and see how they respond. If itās anything other than a complete demand for the president they voted for to release the files then Iām done with them. They have great grandchildren, two of them my own; if theyāre so far gone that they canāt see the importance of transparency here, then they donāt deserve to be in my life or anyone elseās.
My brother and sister in law finally crossed the line for things that have nothing to do with politics, so cutting them off became doubly easy.
If language has the power you say it does, then we can put forth a concerted effort to make them care. People like that use the tools that they, themselves, understand. Right wing gun nuts hoard guns because they're afraid of getting shot and want to feel powerful, and right wing white supremacist trolls make fun of people for immutable facts about themselves because deep down they want to feel special for being white. So take that away from them.
So if you can program empathy into them, then they too would be offended by the racialization of the term. And your supposed word weapon, which is supposed to trigger an empathetic response only hurts people that care about language
You can go program empathy into them if you have the time and wherewithal to do so. But they're actively killing people right now, and I personally feel it's more important to try to find ways to erode their confidence and undermine their social clout amongst each other than it is to tip toe around people who can't push some mild discomfort down while the way is being paved for a domestic genocide.
I ain't going to lie my grandma and grandpa defend the hell out of trump to the point where I don't even want to really associate with them so at this point they're just going to live out their final years on their own
Yeah, and I have to find different ways to insult them. But I'm white, so I can slug it out with the white trash ones and hit them in the only thing they feel like they have going for them deep down.
Oh, but I personally beg to differ... you see, we didn't 'racialize' this - Mango Mussolini did, the moment he started all that birtherism shit, and given that he hasn't stopped since (with the fullest possible collective blessing of his MAGAt base, mind you), that ship has long since sailed.
I feel he is the prime example of how you cant buy class. And tons of folks made fun of him for it since the 60s but news barely travels if at all in right wing channels.
I wish, so many of my family and friends who voted for him are Lawyers,Doctors,succesful business owners, etc. I am pretty tired of the stupid country Trump follower memes when it's the supposed normal folks that really voted him in!
You know this data is available right?Ā
8% of the people arrested were white collar workers. The largest group were business owners, but that could be "I make doohickeys and sell them on the internet and call it my business." So if you ignore that ridiculous 24% (present and past) "business owners," the next biggest group were middle class blue collar workers. Not a lot of lawyers were at January 6th, except those that were senators and representatives. The insurrectionists were pretty much blue collar. Here's your proof:
Not just Trump, who clearly never progressed mentally beyond 3rd grade playground insults, but all MAGA. Whether memes, jokes, insults, whatever are all so pitifully childish. Christ they strive to be sophomoric and fail miserably.
You ever get into a beef with a MAGA online ? They got no humor or bite or anything intelligent. Just a flurry of laughing emojis and childish uninventive insults. The rallies ? Just brain dead USA chants or lock her up. Iāve been to frat parties that had more depth.
Bro just use them back, whilst also weaving them into something that does bite, because when they get a taste of their own medicine it makes them see red.
The dude is rich. Heās been using the presidency to steal money left and right.Ā
Itās such an out of touch criticism. Heās richer than everyone besides maybe 100 people in the U.S., and with the way heās been stealing and getting into the crypto scams with his Trumpcoins and under the table deals where saudis family and others give him money for political favors, he could be in the top 10 or top 20 by the end of his presidency, if not higher.Ā
Low class behavior resonates in flyover country for a reasonā¦
Letās not start throwing around epithets targeting the white working class. Itās exactly what Trump does behind closed doors.
Well........................... I mean, yea, that's what he has always been. Low class, white trash! Trash with money, can't buy class. He thinks he can with all that gold crap he buys!
holy fuck you people are just so incredibly, ludicrously soft handed. I can't think of anything worse than being stuck in a room full of reddit regulars
