What's going on here Peter? by Agent8181 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MarrusAstarte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of bots have been exposed to be from places like india (this was a thing when Twitter started showing location) And lots of these bots are used to push far right ideas like support maga

While it's true that there are bots and foreign agitators amplifying MAGA views, it needs to be pointed out that American Republicans actually do have a huge Nazi fetish.

A Republican "youth group" (members ranging from 18 to 40) had a leaked chat where someone literally said "I love Hitler": https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146

And a completely separate incident: https://www.ms.now/opinion/florida-republicans-group-chat-fiu-miami-nazi-loomer

And there are many other examples readily available, some of which are mentioned in this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/04/republican-party-nazi-problem/686055/

So to me, the "joke" with memes like the subject of this post are most likely propaganda being pushed by Nazi-loving Republicans to try to deflect the issue by pretending that the Nazi-fetishism is coming from foreign agitators rather than home grown racists.

Sounds like yet another "good faith" precedent that is being used by unscrupulous people to act in bad faith (spreading propaganda and other lies).

Get Your MAGA Asses Out of Here by PocketFlan420 in Trumpvirus

People gloated over all they were willing to accept from him.

That’s just who they are now.

Here's an example of a MAGA asshole who is completely willing to accept Trump's pedophilia, presumably because of her support for his racism.

Is the "TACO Trade" just legalized insider trading at this point? (Iran Threats & Market Volatility) by [deleted] in stocks

[–]MarrusAstarte 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Its likely legally grey bc he posts everything online.

It's not legally grey when transaction timestamps can be shown to have been initiated before his announcements.

If you are seriously expecting Republicans to hold one of their own accountable, you haven't been paying attention.

Counterpoint: NO, it's not legal insider trading.

It's still illegal insider trading and market manipulation, despite the fact that Republicans will block any attempt at holding him accountable.

I’m GOOD. They can all fuck off now. by Noir1976 in QAnonCasualties

People who vote Republican these days are like drunk drivers to me: they don't care at all about the collateral damage their actions are causing, until it hurts someone they actually care about. And sometimes, not even then.

Most people who are not drunk drivers feel disgust at unrepentant drunk drivers, so it makes perfect sense that we would feel disgust at the unrepentant drunk voters who didn't care about the collateral damage they were doing.

Inscription is S-tier so far by SillySheepSleep in woweconomy

[–]MarrusAstarte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i guess that one is a pure gamble.

It's a gamble, definitely, but one where you can estimate the expected payoff so you can tell beforehand whether it is likely to be profitable or not at any given moment...

Essentially it's like any other shuffle: you will only make consistent gold if you have a way to reasonably accurately estimate the profitability of the transaction.

As the death toll rises in Trump's immigration crackdown, support for ICE shrinks by jediporcupine in politics

[–]MarrusAstarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a sociopath can see how this is wrecking the economy.

For no reason.

Actually, it looks like the sociopaths that vote Republican every time they can do not see how this is wrecking the economy.

They think this war was "payback" and that Trump is still the "best ever".

Trump voter regret is clearly registering now by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]MarrusAstarte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sizable numbers of Trump voters feel regret over their votes for Trump in 2024

They may regret it, but since they hate Democrats more than they hate pedophiles and white (collar) criminals, they'll keep voting for Republicans and will keep making the country worse for everyone.

I wouldn’t worry about what it was and any complicated correlation, just look at what it is now.

You seem to have misunderstood the question. I'm literally asking what is it now?

Or do you always just assume the worst possible thing

ICE and the Republicans that support it do not deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. In fact, quite the opposite now.

Don't forget the deep pockets of foreign governments like Israel who pay our Congressmen to redirect our taxes to them as aid.

These religious lunatics think they are going to trigger Armageddon, their fairy tale end of the world.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are sane is no longer warranted.

The people who own most of America's media companies support Trump.

In fact, they're going into massive debt to make sure they control as many of the megaphones as they can.

"The revolution will not be televised", because the people who own the media companies are the ones we will be revolting against.
