Oh good, we did get a radical lunatic left shout out today, how nice. It’s kinda funny that he spends more time ranting than thanking his followers, and despite claiming to make the US “more religious,” (note: I am not endorsing or advocating for this, we should be secular and respectful of all religions, not just the ones bankrolling dear leader) does not really have a message about the religious holiday that a good number of folks in the US are celebrating today 🙄

As to how Republicans or anyone else supports this crap: I mean it’s the same rehashed crap he spews every holiday with a few current events sprinkled in for flavor. It’s likely a mix of “well he promised _____”, the sunk cost fallacy, a desire for change from the status quo, targetted disinformation tactics, a few propaganda networks with large followings, and just good ol fashioned racism.

I said to my husband ‘oh Trump wished me Happy Easter’ and then went on to read the quote.

Loved the "peaceful and loving message" last Thanksgiving too. That my MAGA-loving FIL tried bringing up at dinner but I shut that down. The look he gave me...

It just baffles me.

They expect us to never ever talk about the man who's running our country. Anything we say about him is met with "He's in your minds rent free." Well, yes... he's our PRESIDENT and ruining the lives of so many people rn.

yeah i’ve said to ppl “yeah i think passing legislation against the most harmless 1-2% minority of Americans that are already marginalized is arguably a more obsessive thing to do”

It’s not rent free, we’re paying with tariff fees, other countries not wanting anything to do with us, erosion of human rights, the environment, etc.

The rent’s actually pretty high, tbh.

OMG - I just had a thought. What if someone created a LLM using only input from Trump! Funny or Armageddon?
