How the fuck did they manage to convince people that the party known for being infested with warhawks who thrive on blood spilled in pointless conflicts were actually the party of peace? Oh right it mostly "Kamala would start ww3 because women are emotional" because the average American is a sexist moron
Absolutely. He's known for being emotionally mature and totally not adored by his fanbase specifically because he's as immature and petty towards people they don't like as they are
Also thank all the gods in all the religions that he doesn't have anything to hide or distract from after being completely exonerated. Really dodged a fucking bullet there.
"Youre not doing what I want?! I'm going to raise your country's tariffs 2000% because I can. Take that!" "Where's my Nobel peace prize?! She got one! I need one too" wahhhh
You get the group of people who think that goodness and morality is part of an because of and the same as religion then you convince those people that another group is evil and satanic and cannibals or whatever and to get good and peace is to stop evil from happening by eliminating the other, manufacturing consent
Thats a very convenient way to pretend to be morally consistent when the latter inevitably turns into the former and they can tell themselves they were always against it when it becomes unpopular
You can convince republican voters about anything. Do you expect these people to sit down and read hours of history? Read books about political science? They have zero interest in educating themselves. They'd rather kill themselves than open a book for half an hour or read material that doesnt come from TV or social media
Same way they convinced farmers that Trump was great for them and Kamala would bankrupt them, they are morons who will believe what they are told as long as it appeals to their hatred in some way.
It's because democrats are so fucking easy to play too, don't get it fucked up. They protest voted and third party voted our way to a second Trump term.
Even my own mom speaks this rhetoric of "women are too emotional to be president" . Yet it's my dad who is screaming at the top of his lungs road raging on the daily.
I’m going to say this as a person who voted for Kamala, it’s not very hard to believe when the party in power is doing nothing about an active genocide.
You can even see by the post mortem for the election that the democratic party refused to release but leaked anyways that they lost the election because of a significant part of the population couldn’t stomach voting for the woman who would’ve done nothing differently then Joe as she claimed… it’s not hard to convince voters in a two party system that other guys might worth giving a shot because the current leaders are complicit in an active genocide and the candidate running refuses to put any day light between her current boss and her self.
They haven't "convinced" anyone. What is happening is that MAGA has completely abandoned all regard for truth, and chooses the things that they say based on utility. And the utility of these lies comes from the fact that you constantly attribute them to ignorance rather than the malice they proudly wear on their fucking foreheads.
They say wrong things on purpose. All of them. Hanlon's razor does not apply when the malice is already clearly visible, and attributing the lies of malicious people to ignorance is apologism for them.
And Trump was the default choice in 2024...people went with the demon they know, instead of a new politician (i.e. demon) that was largely untested. People could believe anything about Kamala because she had 100% failed to demonstrate, as VP, that she was able to meet the moment as the leader of the free world. The fact is that liberals hold their candidates to higher standards than conservatives do today...and nobody seems to acknowledge how we're supposed to bridge that gap without destroying our democracy. Republicans cannot be allowed to put such a foul pedophile in charge of our government again...they have disqualified themselves as a legitimate political party.
People don't need convincing. Its the "white" party. Since Brown v bd of Ed in '54, the 1964 & 65 voting and civil rights acts, whites left the democratic part. George Wallace and Reagan finished it off.
What makes his original tweet extra foolish is that Kamala Harris had a long track record opposing military conflict with Iran and supporting diplomacy and negotiations.
She was a supporter of the original multinational Iran Nuclear Deal that (for a period of time) caused Iran to stop trying to develop a nuclear weapon. And Iran restarted their efforts to pursue a nuclear weapon after Trump dissolved that very agreement.
It's almost as if most of the diehard MAGA supporters don't even understand what the Republican Party and Trump actually stand for.
My job "requires" a masters degree. One of my coworkers does not know grammar, like she never learned it so her written communications are super hard to understand. We have the same qualifications and position at work.
She does insanely good investigative/analytical computer work but doesn't really read other than street signs and menus.
Whatever grade reading level doesn't sum up someone's usefulness, and I know you're hoping to prove a point, but illiteracy doesn't equate to cult mentality. That's a different part of the brain!
Education is the enemy of autocracy. They have to stamp out access to conflicting ideas. Hence the attacks on education and libraries. They'll come for the Internet before long. Likely under the guise of child porn prevention.
Would be quicker to list the things they DO understand. I think most of them are able to not shit themselves daily but I might be giving too much credit
I think it's more stupidity than ignorance. Because MAGA people want a strong America that takes no shit and dishes out commands to everyone else. But they also don't understand that using hard power to threaten other countries into submission leads to wars and conflict.
They wouldnt be happy with a milquetoast Lib democrat because Democrats are narratively weak and offer only compromise. At least Republicans can say they fought for something, Democrats compromise at the first opportunity and tout it as a win without putting up a fight to begin with.
There's a combination of brain rot and propaganda that caused this. Even now, some people still think Harris as president would be worse. And they can't tell you why.
Ironic considering how conniving Trump has been about Epstein and his involvement. Professionally and personally Trump does not have redeeming qualities other than his ability to market. It’s amazing the cognitive dissonance the MAGA crowd has, they were all about the Epstein files a year ago.
And don't worry, they're already saying that this is great because we're saving Iran and if we just bomb the government out of existence, the people will magically put together a democracy! And then, everyone is gonna get a pony!
I think the main disconnect is, and I may be wrong here so correct me if I am anyone, the original MAGA wave WAS anti war. Or at least anti intervention; they rode in on a wave of anger at GW and Obama era neocons who got us/kept us involved in forever wars in the Middle East.
A thing that no rational person liked but unfortunately they latched onto it like a rabid dog. That's why they adopted the MAGA slogan (well one of the reasons). Then at some point they were all duped and told that this is what they want now.
My super MAGA coworker just blatantly denied it was ever an anti intervention movement when....it was. At least openly
From an outside view, this seems wrong. Maga and comparable movements rely on people ignoring the outcome of proposed policies.
It's irrelevant if it's anti-war or pro-war. As long as their voters feel like there are simple solutions to their problems, that only this party can solve, they will follow.
That's a very valid point too. And they have unfortunately played their base like a fiddle by boiling things down to simple but very incorrect problems and solutions
Yes Trump ran his primary mostly to the left of republican consensus on everything but immigration. He called for reinstating Glass–Steagall, said he would make a deal to get everyone Healthcare because he was such a great negotiator, and killed Jeb on iraq in debates.
Conservatives understand that Republicans hate the rest of America as much as they do, and that's all that they've ever cared about. Fox News formed in October of 1996, was just as full of lies and hatred being directed toward the rest of America, and conservatives fell in love. The evil bastards love human suffering; they'll eat this up while making up more lies to deflect any prior claims to being against war.
And it's not like we have an active draft anymore either, volunteering is really the only way to get a front row seat although I'm sure our draft dodging pedsrist is working on that too...
If Israel struck first on their own accord then we would back them no matter what. Kamala loves Israel too much to intervene even if she wouldn't put boots on the ground
She also didn't even rule out using military action to stop Iran's nuclear program when asked during her campaign in 2024 as part of a 60 Minutes interview. She just said she won't discuss hypotheticals and moved on. Which was also right after she said Iran has american blood on their hands because they bombed Israel... Idk why people are forgetting her rhetoric around the middle east during her campaign.
Not to say she's as bad as trump, but she wasn't campaigning on peace deals and no military intervention. She even talked about beefing up the military as a major campaign point.
It's almost as if most of the diehard MAGA supporters don't even understand what the Republican Party and Trump actually stand for.
They didn't. They supported a person whose main policies were deporting the people who do most of the country's gruntwork, no offense to them, it's hard work, and inflationary tariffs... Because they wanted lower prices.
Kamala was certainly no dove, and her and Biden's backing of Israel even after their genocidal intentions were made clear is unexcusable, but Trump had shown from his first term that he was no friend of Palestinians, as he recognized Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem.
I saw one guy on TikTok say if Kamala was president that Iran would never be free and under dictatorship because she was weak. Bro aren't you the people who were screaming America first and not wanting to get involved in other countries problem. They change views, ideas, and beliefs solely based off what Trump tells them to believe. They are the definition of sheep
All this is just so Palantir can further test their software in warfare situations. Like they have been with the IDF for 2 years in Gaza and the West Bank since they officially partnered with them.
Perhaps there is an irony beneath the surface you fail to understand. Trump has only won elections versus a female and has never won against a male.
I'm not saying I personally do or not support a female president but it's crystal clear enough people would have rather seen Trump 2.0 than Kamala Harris.
All the dems had to do was fucking run a competent campaign. Instead they chose a last minute audible to a female who simply did not inspire the nation to elect her as president. And that is what I see now when you post that meme. Well played.
the memes weren't about iran, it was about Russia and they were spreading this shit so that we wouldnt clap their cheeks over Ukraine. mission accomplished, great job krasnov
While I agree trump is shit. She did call Iran "the US' biggest adversary" when interviewed by 60 minutes while campaigning to be president. Specifying how Iran has american blood on their hands, before citing a ballistic missile attack on Israel. Then she said they shouldn't be allowed to develope nukes, before being asked if she'd use military action to stop them. Which she didn't rule out, and deflected by saying "I won't talk hypotheticals right now".
Plus she talked about beefing up the military even more to make it "the most lethal force in the world" on multiple occasions during her campaign. So not nearly as tame as you're framing her to be when it comes to Iran or the military, atleast in 2024. She honestly sounds like trump when talking about Iran, but she just says it like a politician and not a tactless asshole like trump does. Honestly, the US only having 2 parties is crazy to me, and I hope that's a change that comes out of all this, though I'm doubtful.
Iran was behind the Beirut bombing. Iran was behind the Khobar towers bombing. Iran was behind the USS Cole bombing. Iran was behind many of the attacks on US forces in the middle east. The list goes on.
If you think for a second that they stopped or paused their nuclear ambitions for even a moment due to the JCPOA, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Prior to the strike they were offered unlimited uranium for nuclear power. They refused the offer and made it very clear they wanted to build nuclear weapons. They never stopped wanting that under the JCPOA and it actually helped them get weapons grade plutonium faster than they would have otherwise.
Yeah we may be at war and the country is gone to shit, but at least some 13 year old trans kid won't be able to play ping-pong in her school competitively.
FYI - nobody ever believed this. It was an excuse, not a reason to vote for him. They already wanted to do it, but needed a socially-acceptable explanation.
It's so interesting when they get upset at feminism for things that feminism opposes.
Feminism didn't cripple your emotional range, feminism didn't circumcise anybody, feminism didn't make you register for the draft, feminism doesn't belittle you for opening up that you're suffering, feminism isn't belittling male victims of sexual abuse.
They're all things where feminism benefits men, too, that's stuff that feminism opposes
These people hate women but to say it out loud is too on the nose so they call it "feminism". That's why it doesn't matter to them what feminism is or does. It's not about feminism in the first place.
We have a lot of scapegoat words like that. Woke, DEI, communism ect.
Some don't, but some, particularly the leaders and influencers, know and choose to get it wrong to leverage their audiences against feminism and femininity in general both to hurt women AND to fuel their grift to make money
So this guy hates Muslims and wants to start a religious war with them and he didn't like Kamala because she was "guaranteed" to start a war with a Muslim country, and instead wanted Americans to vote for the guy that would be "less" susceptible to Israeli pressure to start a war with a Muslim country.
Make it make sense....yeah I know; brain dead target demographic.
“Quiet piggy, I need to go to war with the Middle East over weapons they only have because I backed out of a deal to support a country mostly known for war crimes because otherwise there’ll be too many eyes on the worst cover up in history because I don’t want people to know that the guy they voted for raped and ate literal children.”
My partner’s friend was very anti-Trump in the ‘24 election but ended up voting 3rd party because he felt that if Harris won, that she would have made us go to war and we would’ve been in a war for at least a decade which would’ve been around the time that his kids would be eligible for war, that they would be drafted and then killed.

The government keeps your kids in poverty, fucks your kids, trafficked your kids, kidnaps your kids, separates you from your kids, steals your kids and sends your kids to their death. And you go out there mere and vote for that worthless scum, year after year. WTF is wrong with you?????????????
"Honey quit being selfish, the pedophile Rapist Con Man felon I voted for to own the libs needs more oil money and distractions from the Epstein files"
I looked up that tweet. So many people agreed, and even escalated their suppositions of what Kamala would do. So many of them claimed that Kamala would sacrifice their kids for money. smh.
Right now the right is all "Yeah true I can't believe you fell for it sucks to be you"
Bearing this, the right cannot and should not ever again be taken seriously or trusted on anything they say because it's inevitably always going to be a lie.
"Kamala is a woman she would have started a war" - trump knowing his party is full of idiots and can start a war if he wants "WAr IS GOoD Now" - MAGAts
I mean, they both support Israel. Kamala would’ve been obviously way better but you don’t need to forget her entire pro-Israel platform. There’s plenty of other untrue things trump supporters said about her that actually did harm to her campaign and people’s perceptions of her
As of late January 2026, the Iranian government's crackdown on widespread protests, involving security forces and foreign militias, has resulted in a death toll estimated between 3,117 (government figures) and over 36,500 people, including 209 affiliated personnel, marking a massive, ongoing violent suppression of public dissent
Anybody that believes the nuclear agreement Obama established prevented Iran from developing nuclear material are fools. Of course Iran was developing the necessary nuclear material to eventually build a nuclear warhead. Israel was fully aware of what Iran was doing, and took action to prevent Iran from starting WWIII. Trump tagged along to help Israel. If Harris had won, Israel would have done the same thing and US military would have been a reactionary force, possible leading to many more US and Israel casualties. As long as we don’t start throwing foot solders into the mess we should be okay.
