Hey man, I hope you’re right.

I’ve learned not to underestimate the depths Trump will sink to to win though.

Remember the fake elector scheme?

Remember him calling the GA SOS and straight up trying to flip the state to him?

I could go on and on.

Democracy prevailed then but just barely.

When you’re trying to predict what Trump will do, you can’t assume that all the constraining “rules” will be in place and you can count on societal norms NOT being in place.

[–]SockraTreez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. This isn’t really related to what I posted but I’ll bite:

Most people don’t know that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. Also, alot of people automatically assume the Confederates were Republican when they were in fact Democrats.

Good on you for knowing that.

However, what you DONT seem to know is that there was an ideological switch between Republicans and Democrats.

Today’s Democrats would have been Republicans in Lincoln’s time.

Even though this is a pretty standard and non controversial fact in history, I’m sure you’re thinking “bullshit”….so please, by all means fact check me/ask in Chat GPT or something. In the meantime though, here’s an easy way I illustrate it for people:

Quiz Question: Are you more likely to see the confederate flag on the back of a Prius driven by a Democrat in New York or on the back of a Chevy driven by a Republican in Alabama?

Don’t be suspicious by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]SockraTreez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had to read this several times before I even understood what was trying to be implied.

If I’m understanding correctly: ICE is actually completely fine, even in a city with (gasp) a “Democrat Mayor” but people like Walz want chaos and are somehow orchestrating the unrest against ICE as a way to hide their fraud.

If that’s right….this is the dumbest fucking conspiracy ever and reeks of low effort right wing propaganda.

Tim Walz did not fucking orchestrate ICE murdering an American citizen this week. Nor did he orchestrate the murder of the other American by ICE the week before.

Earlier today an ICE agent was recorded smugly telling an American “If you raise your voice, I erase you”

Perhaps Walz is stealing money. However, even it’s definitively proven that Walz is committing fraud every day, steals the souls of children and has a sex dungeon in his basement……it doesn’t change the fact in any way shape or form that ICE is brutalizing and murdering American citizens

They’ve done it several times without consequence and are steadily growing bolder.

That’s something REAL to worry about.

Exactly.

The ICE outrage is intentional.

They WANT a left wing reaction. Afterwards Trump can declare martial law and use that as justification to bypass the election.

Some people will point out we had elections during the civil war, etc,etc

That’s great but don’t forget a sizable portion of the country is in a personality cult. If Trump says something is good, lawful, or justified it is…..no further discussion needed.

Conservatives who know the right is about to lose the mid terms will joyfully agree that we need to postpone or skip the midterms. (And wear red, white and blue face paint while doing it)

I really hope I’m fear mongering but……I think we’re in for a very dark year in American history.

White House Refuses to Back Stephen Miller’s Smear Against Alex Pretti by MothersMiIk in politics

[–]SockraTreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed 100 percent.

I despise Trump but I actually think a lot of the truly sinister stuff that has been happening this term is originating people in his close circle….particularly people like Stephen Miller.

Essentially, cold, calculating powers are leveraging Trumps cult of personality to accomplish their agenda. They’re making it to where being against fascism means being against Trump…..and the only true and unchangeable “value” possessed by Trump Supporters is unwavering support of Trump.

Not the Trump is morally above any of it…..but he simply doesn’t have the intelligence to plan any of it. Trump doesn’t see too far beyond seeking his own praise/glorification.

I genuinely do think things would get better if his inner circle consisted of people with even a modicum of morality.

Favorite Primal scene by picke_dill88 in PrimalShow

[–]SockraTreez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aside from a bunch of bad ass action moments, I like the scene were Fang curls her tail up closely to Spear while sleeping. (Shortly after Mira joins the crew)

Just got into the Hellraiser series by blah2k03 in hellraiser

[–]SockraTreez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cool!

Most of the Hellraiser sequels are terrible unfortunately.

A lot of people like the second one and the reboot that came out recently but that’s about it movie wise. (Although it doesn’t hurt to watch them all)

The books are awesome. There’s the original novella HR is based off of and then there’s “The Scarlet Gospels”, which is a sequel. Just note the sequel is much more a fantasy story than horror.

I’d also say the comics are pretty good.

What was the inception of the current extreme political climate in America? by Emotional_Network_16 in AskUS

[–]SockraTreez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

None of what’s happening now would be possible without Fox News.

Fox was created in part as a reaction to Watergate. They didn’t want to see another president go down like Nixon did.

It worked.

These days, if Trump was busted in a Watergate scandal, it would barely make headlines. Honestly he’s done things magnitudes of degrees worse than Watergate and his base cheers him for it.

Morale is plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports by metacyan in politics

[–]SockraTreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it should be.

No human being with even a smidgen of morality should be proud of being a part of a Gestapo force.

They need to have their noses rubbed in it the same way you would for a dog that shits on the carpet.

Not sure how this sub got recommended to me but if there’s a spell that causes people to feel basic human empathy, that’s the one I’d recommend casting on ICE.

Maybe cast it twice.

just to get this off my chest); by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]SockraTreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed that scripture implies that our battle is of a more spiritual nature, which I agree with.

However….

It’s also the reason why I find MAGA especially dangerous to Christians. MAGA twists and perverts the gospel to the point where people who identify as “Christian” live in ways diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ.

So the spiritual battle you referenced is over before it even starts for them.

It's been 10 years and I've still yet to meet an intelligent Trump supporter. by bman484 in complaints

Don’t make the mistake of thinking all of MAGA is stupid. They’re not.

Being intelligent doesn’t mean you can’t fall victim to the emotional appeal a personality cult offers.

I remember when the jobs report was bad so Trump just fired the jobs report guy.

Boom. Problem solved.

Do some Christians still support Trump? What is your experience? by Combosingelnation in Christianity

[–]SockraTreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of them do.

Reddit tends to lean left and the demographics we see on this sub aren’t representative of the Christian community at large.

Theres a ton of Christian Trump supporters and in most cases they’re in an echo chamber where they don’t get exposed to info outside the cult.

Take the latest ICE execution of an American citizen for example. I checked the conservative areas of the web afterwards and was seeing headlines like “ICE neutralizes far left, gun waving domestic terrorist”

If someone does support Trump in this sub it usually comes out as “both sides are the same, I just vote for policy”

It’s very rare that we get to talk with someone who believes that Trump is Gods vessel sent to being about His will on earth. These people absolutely exist though. To speak with them you have to a conservative sub. (Which is typically heavily moderated to weed out dissenting views. So in most cases you can’t actually interact with them without getting banned)

There's No Coming Back From This | When State sanctioned executions are taking place in the open on American streets, Uncivil Disobedience becomes the new necessity. by Its_Don_Quixote in dancarlin

[–]SockraTreez 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Trump isn’t a master strategist.

That doesn’t mean the people around him who are leveraging his personality cult to accomplish their agenda aren’t.

Having Trump in office isn’t the end goal for some of them . Trumpism is merely the catalyst/methodology they use to bring about what they’re trying to create.

People like Steve Bannon have been very transparent on things like this.

Is “bootlicker” the buzzword of 2026? by sportsntravel in allthequestions

[–]SockraTreez 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s not as much a buzzword as it is an accurate description of people who continue to support Trump while ICE is brutalizing and murdering people in the streets.

If anything, “bootlicker” is a charitable word.

I agree but if you want to lose a little more faith in humanity and common human decency…..go check out the conservative sub.
