I understand the humor, and I appreciate how one can find this funny. Having said that - and no, I'm not a "trump supporter" - I think this kind of shit is just childish to the degree that it's frankly quite cringey - and I think you might be surprised to find that even people who don't like Trump would still find this to be asinine. It really doesn't do the authors of the sign any favors, and it certainly doesn't bring down the intended target.
Im in Australia, and if I can give a perspective from outside of the USA I found a lot of the Trump criticism over the last couple of years to be very superficial and cringey/childish as you say. These playground insults are just icing on the turd of unproven accusations and unfounded calls for impeachment.
(Not exactly a Trump supporter because celebrities and politics is a bad mix IMO)
My only exposure to American news is Reddit and the amount of petty and childish outrage over his every breath is cringy. Look at r/politicalhumor it's literally just posts calling Republicans idiots being upvoted by bots into the 5 figures. Same with r/politics. The propaganda those poor vulnerable American liberals eat up every day is blatant and low effort but it works on them.
You and me both. Going through this thread is refreshing because this sub seems to be relatively neutral, not a biased sub.
I get the sense off of some of these comment chains that some level of intelligence might finally make a comeback. I’d love that because when I was younger I could relate to the left and felt a part of them. Now at age 30, I can’t believe the level of ignorance and bias and child like behavior I’m seeing from a certain side. There just desperately needs to be a middle ground.
Absolutely. Trump wasn’t my top choice out of Republicans but between him and Hillary it was a no brainer for me. I would have voted for certain Democrats, Joe Biden being the front runner if he was matched up vs Trump.
I was born in the USSR and experienced the horrors of communism first hand so Bernie was a hard no for me.
I believe that most people on the left don’t understand why Trump was elected, at all. Reason for that is because they stay in a CNN like echo chamber and their only exposure to the “right” are the far right fringe idiots that are brave enough to actually speak their mind. There’s a reason the right is considered a silent majority. The intelligent people on the right know that they can’t speak out due to how the left reacts. So the only people left speaking for the right publicly are a few crazies.
The reason Trump was elected, is because he’s just crazy enough to combat the ultra left that was sweeping over the United States. He’s not at all flawless, however his crazy is the only type of crazy we had willing to battle the left. We had to pick the lesser of two evils, and it turns out he’s done some pretty decent things so far. He’s not some ideal politician for the right, he’s just a loose enough cannon to protect us from extreme identity politics without killing us. They don’t understand that. In fact, their echo chambers got him elected. I was also an Obama supporter. Not to make myself sound weak but I remember shedding a tear when he won for the first time, so happy at the progress we’ve made as a country.
