    So, as long as I’ve been on lemmy, I may have come across maybe 2 certified Trump supporters, yet… there are 36 downvotes on this post.

    I wonder who the 34 other cowards are that refuse to stand and be counted. Also, I wonder how many of the bad-faith both-sides “leftists” we all know and love are amongst them.

      I downvoted it because conservatives constantly make this exact same “joke” about how poor people actually deserve to be poor because they pay for Netflix or clothes or anything that isn’t food or rent. It’s not funny when they do it and because I’m not a hypocrite I don’t find it funny when leftists do it either.

      Normally I would have just downvoted and moved on with my day, but apparently that makes me a “coward that refuses to stand and be counted”. Because attacking people for downvoting a joke they didn’t like is apparently 100% okay with Lemmings and totally not toxic behavior. Does not liking literally all of the comedy that comes out of the left make me a ‘bad-faith both-sides “leftist”’? If so, guilty as charged. I do not see the left as a monolith and feel no shame in criticising or disagreeing with what other leftists say.

          Sooo… I’m not a leftists and I don’t think it’s a leftist meme

          We know. You’re a liberal and this is a lib meme. Making fun of poor people and dismissing economic concerns for spending money irresponsibly is very on brand for liberals.

          But yeah keep kicking asses I guess. Republicans appreciate your service

      Its the people who have lift kits and like beer and cigarettes. I need to get a lift kit but that has to do with the fact that some roads in my area are somehow worse than dirt roads and off roading.

      I didn’t downdoot it but it’s pretty mean-spirited and probably doesn’t reflect the majority of Trump supporters’ finances.

            I’ll add that I know this isn’t a blanket statement to define all conservatives, but I’ve never known one not to fit this description.

            And as an aside, fuck them anyway. Not one of them in my eyes deserve pity or mercy when it comes to defining them by their actions.

              They’re being grifted from all sides and are too poorly educated to do anything about it. I think that’s pitiable.

                    Oh I absolutely think it’s possible to be mistaken. We’re human. And flawed as a result.

                    I don’t however, think that one gets a pass to be so mistaken that they would part with $100K for a watch branded by a known traitor to their country.

                    There are facts and there are what people want to be facts. Both are readily available, and the differences between both are provenly vast.

                    So no, it’s inexcusable in this day and age to be so mistaken as to support MAGA in any way.
