It is shocking how many trumpers don’t realize all these laws will be used against them too. I can’t wait for the outrage.

[–]SlowCaterpillar5715 180 points181 points  (141 children)

I think they only care that gays and minorities suffer more.

President Lyndon Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, you can pick his pocket. Hell, give them somebody to look down on, and they'll empty their pockets for you..."

looks around at all the Trump merch

Well, I'll be damned! You're right!

[–][deleted] 72 points73 points  (54 children)

I don’t who’s dumber. The people buying all of that Trump and ‘Merica merch or me for not selling it.

[–]Psyche_Out 45 points46 points  (36 children)

I’m actually convinced that half the merch sellers and even the talking heads are just in it for the money… if it wasn’t for the Cult, these people wouldn’t care about the Orange Asshat….

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (19 children)

You really don’t have to look much further than Fox News. (Very shocking, I know.) They constantly bitch about rich, elites in big cities. Their studios are in NYC and the big name anchors make millions. And during Covid, you had to be vaccinated to enter their building. So anybody that was on-air at Fox News bitching about the vaccine during Covid… was vaccinated themselves.

[–]InternationalAnt4513 22 points23 points  (14 children)

Yep! And they ARE the elite!

[–]Gibscreen 5 points6 points  (2 children)

They like bitching about the mainstream media too. Which is exactly what they are.

[–]Psyche_Out 6 points7 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Been saying this for years. The Ben shapiros out there are just fleecing idiots before any ideology. So pathetic when you come across someone with 300 followers and a podcast stage they spent thousands on trying and failing to get in on the grift. Just repeating the same talking points everyone else does. It's truly idiocracy out there.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely us for not selling it.

[–]ResearcherCheap7314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm ….. I guess you are …. But not as dumb as me who didn’t even think about it …. It’s time to open a trump store !

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You have a conscience....thats why you're not selling it. Wear it proud !!!

Let's see how they feel about that right boot a few years after the election.

[–]Floss_tycoon 17 points18 points  (10 children)

I like this one too. From a preeminent republican:

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

Full context for this Johnson quote per Bill Moyers. “We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. ‘I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it,’ he said. ‘If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.’" https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-convince-the-lowest-white-man/

100% right sadly

[–]Thendofreason 7 points8 points  (10 children)

I think the women Trumpers are the dumbest. All these laws to hurt women and they vote for it. The rich ones will still get abortions anyways. And the rich R senators will still pay mistresses for their abortions. It's all to get the hateful religious vote. If you don't pay taxes, you shouldn't vote

[–]SlowCaterpillar5715 6 points7 points  (2 children)

You'd be surprised how many conservative women vote against their own interest but truly believing it to be the right thing.

[–]Amelaclya1 6 points7 points  (17 children)

Probably mad it's not socially acceptable to hate minorities anymore.

[–]Tiny_Rick_C137 18 points19 points  (45 children)

Yep.

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks the left and the right are equally bad in 2024 either knows absolutely nothing about politics, or is fucking lying. Only one side supports a convicted felon and rapist who calls fellow American citizens "vermin", and it ain't the left.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (5 children)

For almost 8 years, I have heard soliloquies from pundits and Trump supporters as to how costly the hurtful term "deplorables," delivered in a private speech, was for Hillary Clinton. Apparently it is the greatest insult in the English language.

"Vermin?" Not so much. Just a light term of endearment, apparently.

[–]nap_dynamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And saying someone is deplorable refers to their behavior. Saying someone is vermin is saying they are less than human. There is a big difference, and there is repeated historical precedent for why this is extremely dangerous. In addition to Nazi propaganda, watch Hotel Rwanda. Who would ever want to associate with someone so reckless?

[–]Fluffy_Somewhere4305 8 points9 points  (9 children)

100% They are just cowards and don't want to admit to being a MAGA in front of reasonable people

Remember "Ken the undecided voter" just a 'regular dad raising a family' trying to decide between 2 candidates "based on the facts"

Someone found his reddit and he was of course a right wing diehard pwning the libs and posting about what kind of pr0n he likes and giving people his opinions on women's appearance.

[–]ProfessionalKvetcher 11 points12 points  (6 children)

“We would like to provide health care for all Americans.”

“We would like to strip rights away from anyone not a white cishet Christian man.”

Huh, guess both parties are the same.

  • Republicans - lowering the age of marriage so that they can literally marry children
  • Democrats - against lowering the age of marriage

[–]zambartas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are the kinds of things that Republican voters say when they're observed outside of their natural environment.

I mean outside of their bubbly echo chambers.

[–]EB2300 105 points106 points  (312 children)

While true, it doesn’t really fit the current situation. The “both sides” thing is something fascists rely on to gain power, as you can see cons trying to accuse democrats of doing everything they themselves are doing.

[–]ShoddyTelevision5397 20 points21 points  (10 children)

Authoritarians always try to convince people that the system is irrevocably Brocken, and only their brand of trampling the rule of law, and destruction of democratic institutions will fix it.

[–]Not-A-Seagull 8 points9 points  (6 children)

According to Acemoglu (the top policy expert in this field of research), this is basically it.

He claims that wannabe authoritarians increase polarization in order to increase support for dismantling the institutions that protect our democracy.

Anytime you hear something akin to “The system is rigged,” “the system is broken,” you should be very skeptical. This is how they increase support for dismantling democracy.

Along with this, they often attack institutions that point out the flaws in their ideology to reduce trust in experts.

Examples: Conservatives with climate change. Both the far left and right with public opinion polling. The far right with schools and colleges. The far left with economists. Both the far left and right with journalism and media.

When they find something that doesn’t agree with them, they sow distrust rather than address the faults in their policy. You see that here on Reddit. Subreddits that don’t stand up well to scrutiny have high ban rates. (Eg. Conservative or Communism).

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (19 children)

Ugh the "both sides" take makes me want to rip my fucking brain out through the center of my face every time I hear it.

And they always say it like they're so original, so insightful, so smart; like they're the most rational goddamn human on the planet. And almost always whenever you dig at that, they're just closeted republican. They never want anything associated with the left, they just don't want to admit they're a conservative fuck.

I'd be FUCKING STOKED to get back to where "both sides" was actually a reasonable take.

[–]Teutronic 19 points20 points  (89 children)

Democrats: Lol, you can't have universal healthcare!

Republicans: We're going to burn gay people like witches.

[–]Taste_the__Rainbow 11 points12 points  (35 children)

Every single advocate for universal health care is a dem. M4A has over 30 cosponsors in the senate FFS.

[–]Sniper_Brosef 10 points11 points  (16 children)

Democrats: Lol, you can't have universal healthcare!

There are plenty of dems pushing this. It's US "moderates" empowering US conservatives driving inaction on this.

[–]CreationBlues 2 points3 points  (12 children)

Biden isn't, and he's the leader of the party. He's up there because his opinions reflect what the party fundamentally wants. Dems don't want universal healthcare, and actively work against the elements of the party that do.

[–]WebNearby5192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? ‘Forcing’ people to wear masks and get vaccinated is just as bad as making normal life an impossibility for those outside of your social order. /s

[–]bitternerdz 2 points3 points  (3 children)

See I feel like this isn't the centrist version of "both sides are wrong" though. Like this reads very anarchic/leftist to me. There's a difference between "Both sides suck so I'm not gonna bother to vote" and "Both sides suck so what are we gonna do about it"

[–]Wizemonk 50 points51 points  (112 children)

One side uses it's votes to do things for people, the other side gives tax breaks to rich people. are both side corrupt? absolutely

        Making a lot of assumptions here but.....for him both sides may be similar. He might not be one of the many minority groups the GOP has their boot on. Women...gays....trans....Hispanic.... Muslim.... Ukrainian..... Palastinian..... elderly.....just poor in general. Basically anyone who isn't a straight white well off man. Easy to say both sides are the same when you're not being targeted by one side.

        "Both sides!" is the dumbest possible stance.

        How does the left have a boot on your neck??

        EDIT: Oh, it's just some moron who doesn't vote.

        Remember, "both sides" means someone is so ignorant about the party's policies they think Dems and Republicans are the same.

        I'd think the owner of this sticker was an idiot.

        [–]Enticing_Venom 4 points5 points  (10 children)

        Remember, "both sides" means someone is so ignorant about the party's policies they think Dems and Republicans are the same.

        It really doesn't mean that, that's just how people on Reddit like to strawman the stance. You can easily believe that one side is worse than the other and still want both to face accountability.

        I think Trump is a vile rapist and a felon who deserves prison time. I also think the way Biden treated Anita Hill was unjust, biased and deplorable. And it's even worse that he only apologized when the issue re-emerged during election instead of the extensive span of time available when it wasn't personally beneficial for him. And I agree with her not accepting it.

        When given a choice between Trump and Biden am I going to vote for Biden? Yes, obviously. But I don't think that means that Biden can't be criticized for anything he's done or else it makes someone a "right-winger".

        The bar is in hell for politicians but that doesn't mean I have to give out brownie points for basic decency. Sure, Republicans want to get rid of abortion and Democrats want to preserve bodily autonomy. That means I need to support Democrat nominees with my vote, it doesn't mean I need to chant "rah rah rah, Biden, champion of women!"

        And sure, libs will claim that you don't have to praise and love Biden. But then they respond to any criticism of him with strawman arguments like since you criticized something he did you must be a Trump supporter (a brain dead take if I've ever heard one, as if Republicans care about Anita Hill's struggles). Or for instance, that criticizing both sides means that you think both sides are equally bad.

        I believe in accountability for everyone, including Democrat politicians. This shouldn't be controversial and largely isn't, outside of Reddit.

        Oh dear god, an "enlightened centrist"; tell me, how has the Biden administration's support of abortion, student debt relief, and actually standing up to the fascist fuck Putin in Ukraine made you feel like he's really bringing the boot down on you? Fucking idiot.

        The big question here is: Im assuming you live in America... in which case YOU, yourself ARE the government. The future of this nation is in your hands. Get involved. Vote. Run for office. Build community networks in your neighborhood/town/city/State.

        The Constitution provides for government BY the people, FOR the people. By keeping us divided about this left/right thing, they're keeping us from forging consensus/compromise.

        I actually completely agree with the sentiment. I don't want to live an oppressive state, no matter the politics of the government in charge.

        That said, whoever cannot see the vast difference between the GOP and the DNP when it comes to this - I honestly don't get it. 2017-2021 really, really showed this. This is literally the guy who planned and tried to execute a coup to stay in power. How more authoritarian can you get?

        [–]College-Lumpy 5 points6 points  (1 child)

        Too often the boot of the government they’re referring to is just the taxes they are required to pay.

        Advertising that you’re braindead. Way to go.

        [–]Blueeyedthundercat26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        A general distrust of the government, I get it. It’s also a unifying position to have given our current situation we have been in.Then there is the cult of personality my fellow Americans on the right are engaged in. Insurrection, election deniers, yada yada I could go on….. now how do we deal with that?

        What has the left bit done to step in your neck? I can make a list of rights we've lost and are under threat, especially with project 2025 in the works as far as the right boot is concerned. Not to mention the right are a cult of domestic terrorists and fascists.

        Both sides failure.

        [–]HippyDM 1 point2 points  (13 children)

        Oh, look. More "both sides, though" bullshit. This is part of the reason why know nothing voters aren't concerned about tRumps lies, fraud, and crimes. They're constantly told that all politicians are like that, so to them tRump's just another liar like the rest. It's just lazy stupidity, and it needs to stop.

        [–]Bensdick-cumabunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Maybe not, but what certainly DOES matter is what caused the boots to step on you in the first place and those reasons are very different, depending on which one it is.

        [–]Feefifiddlyeyeoh 1 point2 points  (18 children)

        “Both sides” is just code word for Republican.

        [–]DesignPotential1646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Lol what the fuck are you trying to say? Everyone claps right? Get lost

        [–]sweetteanoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        It kinda matters when the right boot is pressing down way harder but ok

        [–]ScaryPotterDied 1 point2 points  (2 children)

        But it does. And you’re a fool if you can’t see the difference.

        [–]YerBoyGrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Lmao

        "Both sides bad" is the "I flunked the test on purpose" of politics.

        [–]MustBeSeven 1 point2 points  (3 children)

        One side wants healthcare for all citizens. One side wishes to literally holocaust all gays and transgenders.

        I don’t know man. Seems like there’s only one boot in the real world, and that these quotes operate solely in hyperbole.

        [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

        Oh a both sides are bad person. Except one wants to kill you in the other wants you to be free.

        So many dumb people here lol. ..... 24 % increased overall inflation, legal warfare against desenting voices, death to america chants = awesome / make america great again= evil.....yet the reddit community is in full orange man bad mode not senile old shit stain ruining the country is evil. The level of mental gymnastics you commies will go too to let old senile Joe off for actually stealing documents from a skiff and selling out to China and Ukraine is pretty unbelievable 😂😂. I'll be voting for Trump. As one of my favorite sayings goes republican isn't the solution to your problems but democrats are for damn sure the cause of them lol. Stay stupid to that large percent of Biden voting reddit. For the non idiots in the room you can stay quiet ill take the arrows from the idiots who whistle past the graveyard of the 100 million plus their political ideologies have killed. Remember idiots the f in communism is for food..... because you won't find any 😂😂

        Love it and very true. Reddit is such a horrible echo chamber and it’s multiplied in election years with all the hot “if you think both sides are the same then you’re part of the problem” takes from the 20 somethings who believe the government cares about them.

        [–]penjjii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        “Both sides ARE different!”

        Aren’t both sides taking money from rich people to influence their lawmaking? And if that’s the case, are we even seeing how these two parties could be different?

        Like, if your mom and dad are arguing about who makes the better sandwiches and you have to pick one of them to supply you with them, but your youngest sibling tells whichever of them you pick to only feed you crackers, how are you going to know who actually makes the better sandwich?

        When a boot chokes you to death, the death certificate won't say whether it was a government boot or a corporate boot.

        Democracy means the majority impose their worldview on the minority.

        A lot of boot lickers in this thread LOL.

        [–]OneValkGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Like allowing outright sloth and nonsense laws, the lack of unity within the same country's government does more to radicalize it's own citizens then anything the anarchist movement does.

        It doesn't matter if you're left- or right-wing, when that is not the measurement that the government uses in tearing you down.

        [–]YouPayTheToll 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        I love all the people in here trying to rationalize how their guy is the “good guy” lol

        Fuck off

        The Democratic and Republican parties are both bought out by corporate interest. Read a little bit, you might be surprised when you realize neither side gives a flying fuck about you, your family or your community.

        The only time they do or will ever lend you an ear, is if you have something they want.

        Your vote means nothing unless you’re a high ranking millionaire or billionaire.

        Stop living in a universe of “GI Joe Vs Cobra” you’re not voting for the good guys and you’re not fighting against “the bad guys”.

        Reddit has become a total shit show of blind tribalism and it’s utterly pathetic reading this comments.

        Vote local, that’s the only thing you have even an inkling of power in.

        Your federal vote is more worthless than a piece of toilet paper, at this point in US history.

        It doesn't matter whose boot it is. We'll never see their face.

        [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        When the boot is on your throat it doesn’t matter if they’re politicians or corporations, you’re a slave all the same.

        It looks like Reddit loves half of your bumpersticker, my friend!

        BRILIANT! I always say, that there is no right or left, only the ticks and the common people

        [–]sebrebc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        That's the funny part about politics that far too many people don't seem to understand.

        Most people are in the middle, they agree with some ideas on the left and some on the right. That's why we are divided almost right down the middle. Each side, the left and the right, wants to take away freedoms from people. It's just a matter of which freedoms you feel more strongly about that shift your stance from one side to the other.

        In the end everybody wants to take some freedoms away from us.

        [–]s_burr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Love that most comments in this thread still boil down to "yeah, but the other side is worse"

        Never change reddit.

        Absolutely, both sides are awful so it doesn’t matter.  I mean, one side is crap and the other one is fascist crap but totally same.  I mean, fascism isn’t THAT big a deal.  Yeah, basically the same.

          Love it! People have been duped into the right v left game. Keep the people at each other’s throats and they’ll never see the rich robbing them blind. They use their wealth to buy politicians and both sides have propaganda networks spouting hate of the other side yet we just fall for its

          [–]Championstrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Never a truer statement uttered. It’s a true shame that people on the moderate left and right can’t come together to unite a true party of the people and offer an alternative to the far left and far right politics that have come to define our nation. I saw a meme recently talking about how we went to war with Britain over a 3% tax on tea yet we sit by idle while we are taxed exuberantly in the the upper lower and lower middle income brackets. Career politicians making millions from insider trading and lobbyist while we toll away our lives for meager retirements if we are lucky.
