One of the best parts. They outed themselves.

When I examine my German family tree, this is the kind of shit they fell for too. The only difference, the USA had a healthy economy before Jan 2025, while Germany was a wreck.

I think it's a different kind of unhealthy economy.

At least you can identify them easily. Bumper stickers, license plates and hats.

the kind of people who dont give the least bit of fuck about pretty horrible things until it happens to them after which they love to play the victim

THAT has been the most demoralizing part

That half of my fellow Americans willingly embraced Nazi Fascism

I can't even imagine the type of person who could proudly brand themselves with the name of a rapist, after the fact.

It's sad there are so many, but it's better that we know. They are the reason behind freedom of speech. If they aren't allowed to speak, then we don't know the extent of the problem. Only education can solve this problem in the long run--that is why they attack public education.

It’s the greatest source of my depression…

Face flag looks like a fun bar guy though. Maybe he's just stupid?

Back in my day, we called these people assholes

The guy with the Trump tatoo looks like the typical guy who gets a 23&ME saying he's actually part Mexican.

One of the good things about living in the bay area is seeing these people on TV, it's like seeing an NPC in a video game. It's hard to believe they are real. The 1st time I saw an IRL maga hat was 2020, and I'm pretty sure it was a tourist at the beach I had to point and laugh. The 2nd time was last month, and I gave that bitch the bird. She was wearing the cringe ass Elon Dark Gothic Maga hat.

I don't understand how the US is so prop-full of hateful, ignorant, angry people. Is it because of all the lead they ingested towards the end of the 20th century?

Its because conservatives have actively meddled in the educational system, and kept kids from learning and practicing Critical Thinking Skills. At the same time, they used the vast Conservative Propaganda Machine to teach people to rely on Faith-Based Thinking, where they believe whatever they are told, no matter how absurd or outlandish, as long as it comes from someone in authority, such as a radio/tv talk show host, a politician, a preacher, a cop, a boss, etc.

Thats why they went so hard after evangelicals. They have already proven that they will build their entire lives around the most bizarre mythology and fairy tales written by neolithic goatherders, so all they had to do was get them to accept their political fairy tales, too.

Critical Thinking Skills are the most important part of any person's education, and Conservatives have actively suppressed it. That's why the Department of Education has always been one of their worst enemies. The 'liberal indoctrination" they are always screaming about are Critical Thinking Skills.
