Remember, girls: any male friend you know that votes for Trump probably sees you as a piece of meat and wants to own you like property.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 144 points 5 months ago

Imagine befriending a Trump voter. No thanks.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 77 points 5 months ago

My mom a brown person liked trump last election whilst my father who follows politics hated him. Some people just don't know and that's a problem. My mom now hates him.

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 5 months ago

There's some growth. I have a friend who I almost lost after he voted for Trump the first time. His excuse was the whole propaganda drain the swamp, and businessman running the country thing. He hates Trump now too and has since gone more toward the middle and Def stopped being and voting for reds. Baby steps.

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

See, I never got the whole businessman thing. Like, Trump's claim to fame in that area was that he'd driven his businesses to bankruptcy like 5 different times and had to get bailed out? And you want this man to be in charge?

[-] sgtgig@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

I hear this a lot. It's what gets me about the polling for this election being so close - in the last eight years, who has Trump actually attracted? Who exists that is like "I voted for Hillary and Biden, but I won't be fooled again!"

The learning really seems to go one way.

Don't date conservatives, don't sleep with them, don't befriend them, don't associate with them, being MAGA should result in your total ostracization. Unless you're in a situation where you have to, where cutting ties or ending the relationship/friendship will make you unsafe or put your livelihood or your home life at risk, you should cut them off. I cut ties with a lot of old friends who became conservatives. It's not a normal tolerable thing to be conservative. No one who believes the things they do should be tolerated. Their beliefs should, at the least, come at the cost of their relationships and friendships.

Conservatives do not respect human rights and human dignity. They do not believe that men and women are equal, that rich and poor are equal, or that black people and white people are equal. They'll make a facade of tolerant behavior that immediately crumbles under any scrutiny to show their bigotry. These bigots have governed every conceivable aspect of our lives for far too long.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 38 points 5 months ago

Cut ties with a friend when he said the Jan 6 terrorists were justified. He lost a lot of friends then. Like literally every mutual friend of ours was done with him after that.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 35 points 5 months ago

Well said!

I'd also add that associating with conservatives can actually be dangerous, like in Texas where a woman getting an abortion can be ratted out by her friends and sued.

In my life the only people who have stolen from me were all conservatives. Ironic given how obsessed they all are with their own property and "the law".

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

That’s because what they’re really obsessed with is ‘rules for thee but not for me’.

I straight up walked out of a date once bc someone tried to hide voting for trump

[-] EnderWiggin@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I went out on a date with a woman who actually did that to me, then tried to turn the date into a loud and aggressive Trump stump speech. This was back around 2015, right before the election. The waiter actually came and helped me get out of it. These people operate on another plane of reality. I sincerely wonder if she's still drinking the Kool-Aid.

I am enjoying the popcorn as conservatives gaslight and pretend like it's nothing, as if they weren't standing behind it the whole fucking time.

It seems that people are already aware that Biden is damned old, and their response to the media’s cries have been, “No shit, Sherlock, but what’s this 2025 thing?”

I hope that continues.

[-] bolexforsoup 89 points 5 months ago

Make sure it always says “Trump’s”

A kind reminder from Germany: If anyone tells that they "didn't know what they were getting into" and that "it didn't seem as bad, they cant really mean it" and "time in power will pacify them and they won't push through with their claims" - we already had this story and these excuses. I hope that we all can prevent the fascists from getting into power. I really don't want stuff I've read in history books to repeat in my lifetime. The more people know about P2025, the better - but to be honest I fear that most will just ignore it and go on with their day.

I’m hoping I’ll see more stories about this in the mainstream news, along with Dems reminding voters that Republicans said for years that “Roe was settled law,” and “they’re not going to overturn Roe.” Ending their statements with, “when someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

Trump forgot about the Streisand Effect.

He was a very effective user of it, and now the tables have turned.

there's a reason why republicans and the corporate media are desperate to try and push president biden out of the race.

But what’s the ratio of people finding out more because they liked what they heard vs the ones horrified about it?

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 42 points 5 months ago

This is certainly a concern, but all in all, shining a light on it is a VERY good thing.

Thanks gay furry hackers

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 45 points 5 months ago

I still don't know if the attention on this is a good or a bad thing

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 5 months ago

I suspect it's a good thing. Conservatives don't search for things that discredit their views. And I doubt their media is playing this up as anything that deserves attention. It's probably mentioned as a thing to be ignored. I have no factual basis for my suspicions. I could be completely wrong.

It's a good thing, much of the things included are unpopular, even by conservatives

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Good thing. Despite how it sometimes feels, most Americans aren't hateful pieces of shit and don't support this crap. It's just hard to get them to go out and vote.

People don't think it's possible to do all of this. After reading the entire thing, it's 100% possible, but I don't think people are seeing this as the end of democracy in the U.S.

Women, minorities, public education, the environment, work reform, social services and even protesting are straight up done. Sounds extreme, but I'm not seeing how you vote yourself out of this after firing everyone and replacing them with people only loyal to the president.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

Even if they only succeed in doing a fraction of it, that's still really fucking bad.

It's sad when the best candidate that the Democrats can field against a Fascist who literally tried to stage his own Beer Hall Putsch against Congress and kickstart the Fourth Reich... is a senile fossil who should be in a care home, not the White House.

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 66 points 5 months ago

The democrats could run a literal cup of coffee and I would vote for it before that draft dodging, child rapist piece of shit Trump.

Reminder from Hungary: Go and vote for Biden or whoever the democrats will replace him with. Fidesz'es overreach is too big, they destroy everything they don't like, and nowadays more and more people that were originally scared by the mass shootings and the ease of availability of guns would like us to have that same kind of access. Our only hope is either somehow the biggest allies of Fidesz disappear in one way or another (death, etc.), or the Ukrainians would really sell those weapons on the black market to us the Hungarian citizens.

I remember many art and similar projects die, because Fidesz defunded the art, then their cronies took over everything and only let artists that pushed blatant pro-Fidesz propaganda.

This is a summary of Project 2025

Reminds me how this guy got started.

Some may argue that the President in the Civil War (2024) movie is Trump. In the movie, he is on his third term and bombed many US civilians.

This is a break down of the movie.
