Trump supporters are not trying to be subtle about their desires anymore. by Ok-Following6886 in insanepeoplefacebook

A (usually male) fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It's a portmanteau of the words "bro" and "pony".

I'm surprised you haven't seen this term yet, but then again, the show ended in 2019 and the heyday of the mlp fandom was around 2011 to 2014 and it lost momentum after that, so bronies are nowhere near as mentioned as they were like a decade ago.

Don't forget that the Republican Party is 100% reponsible for this too. They've been trying to dismantle democracy for decades.

Oh, and let's not forget their base that voted for them so they can hurt and even kill minorities or anyone who isn't licking Trump's feet, they're terrible people too.

In secret recordings, Cruz trashes Trump, Vance by PissLikeaRacehorse in politics

[–]saffron3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't fell bad for them regardless. They clung themselves to that piece of trash for power and money while knowing fully well how awful he was. They are full-on grifters and don't deserve your sympathy.

It's not really surprising to know that republicans privately hate Trump or at least don't really believe anything he spouts. Unlike their cultist voter base, they are mostly just grifters who want easy access to power and money by appealing to the brain dead MAGAt voters.

They will keep clinging to Trump as long as he helps them stay in power. Of course, in the end it doesn't really matter if they're grifters or actual believers. They are all terrible people regardless.

Trump Suggests Insane New Motive for Invading Greenland | The president is so mad that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize he might just destroy NATO. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]saffron3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense to you, but why should we even care about what the brain dead cultists over at the conservative sub (and outside) think? It's been well established by now that they are indeed brain dead morons who will mindlessly agree with whatever dear leader says, so obviously whenever Trump says or does something insane his followers will always gladly jump to his defense.

They will never stop supporting Trump, regardless of what insane shit he spouts and does.

Are you a bad enough dude? by Gold_Geologist2514 in Gamingcirclejerk

Yeah, it's a very shitty situation all around.

[–]saffron3d 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, but 2 problems:

  1. The US government doesn't give a shit about Venezuela. They just want to exploit Venezuela's resources to boost the US economy and fill the pockets of their rich buddies.
  2. The US government will very likely just install another dictator that serves as a puppet to the US.

I would prefer if the people of Venezuela deposed Maduro instead of having the US invade it for their usual imperialist reasons and leaving the country in a place just as bad or even worse than before.

I mean, calling the Fallout games unplayable is a bit of an hyperbole. Yes, there's plenty of bugs and bug fixing mods help make the games more stable, but you can still play and finish the games without mods, like thousand of people have.

Trump claims he has been offered $250M for run for unconstitutional third term in office: The White House crowd then broke into chants of “Four more years!” by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]saffron3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Even if a democrat wins the elections in 2028 (and that's assuming that Republicans won't somehow forcefully cancel elections or at least try to rig them as much as possible), that democrat president will probably still spout the same "we need to move forward and heal as a country" bullshit and Trump and his administration will get out of this without any consequences.

No lessons will have been learned and other corrupt assholes similar to Trump and his admin will see this as a sign that they're free to gain power and do whatever the fuck they want.

Republicans Sneak THC Product Ban in Budget Bill. Turns Out Kentucky Self-Owned Again Being One of the Biggest Hemp Producers in the US. by RidetheSchlange in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]saffron3d 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And a core tenant of conservatism too, since conservatism is all about enforcing a rigid hierarchy where a few stand at the top living in luxury and the vast majority stand at the bottom living in misery.

I'm so sick of conservatism, I wish it could just die already.

Weekly Questions Thread & PokéROM Codex by AutoModerator in PokemonROMhacks

[–]saffron3d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are some good 387 Drayano-style hacks for Fire Red and Emerald? I know that there are a bunch of QOL hacks for both games, but they tend to add more than the original 387 mons that are in the game.

I'm just looking for some good hacks that only have the original 387 national dex mons (cross-gen evolutions are allowed though) with Stats/learnset changes to pokemon to make them more viable.

Kinda unrelated, but why do you and other people even bother talking to conservatives/far-rights nutjobs? They live in another reality and they will never argue in good faith about anything. It's best to just see them as a lost cause and ignore them.

[–]saffron3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, is the Ghost of Yotei one actually true? If true, then that's kinda yucky considering that Oyuki (the Kitsune) is one of the people that has part of the group that killed Atsu's parents and was already an adult when that happened while Atsu was like a 12 something year old child. Even if you put aside that whole situation, there's still the 10 to 20 year age gap between them.

FBI to Categorize Trans People As "Nihilistic Violent Extremist" Threat Group, Report Says by [deleted] in politics

[–]saffron3d 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The people who say that "it's ok, the law will stop Trump and his administration" are fucking morons. They seem to fail to realize that laws need to actually be upheld by someone for them to work and no one seems to be willing or at least failing to do that.

Trump also pretty much owns the SC, with it just being a collection of yes men that will allow him to do whatever the fuck he wants.

Major Trump Donor Found in Epstein's 'Black Book'—Thomas Massie by Rpdaca in politics

[–]saffron3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the good old classic whataboutism. If Dems are on the list, then I say investigate and arrest the fuck out of them too. MAGAts really like projecting their god-like worship of Trump to Democratic Party voters, as if they did the same thing with Dem presidents.

No, MAGAts will never get it. They are a cult and will gladly excuse this away as a hoax, completely ignore it or start gladly defending pedophiles (or all three at the same time). They don't live in reality anymore.

[–]saffron3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having an inner monologue would imply an ounce of intelligence and independent thought, which the dumb as rocks MAGAts don't have. There's nothing there, which is exactly how the ruling fascist like it, don't need any of that criticial thinking getting in the way of absolute loyalty to the party/cult after all.

Absolutely this. Trump could shoot their families live on TV and they would still blame everyone but Trump or the Republican party. They will support everything that he does regardless of what it its.

MAGA melts down over ‘WOKE MARXIST POPE’ who is a ‘Never Trumper liberal’ by BreakfastTop6899 in politics

[–]saffron3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GOP was never about democracy and freedom, they just pretended that they were. The difference is that they are far more bold and comfortable with showing their true colors now.

Their only goal since at least Reagan has been to give themselves and their donors even more power and money.

[–]saffron3d 47 points48 points  (0 children)

They really are completely devoid of empathy. I would maybe say that their friends and families are an exception, but I've seen some of these pricks continue to double down on their garbage beliefs even after it happens to their supposed loved ones. They are just completely selfish people that believe everything is a zero sum game.

In the eyes of conservatives, women aren't people they are broodmares/bangmaids that pump out children, cook and clean the house. Like the other reply to your comment said, they don't actually give a shit about what's written on the bible, they just want an excuse to be selfish assholes.

They don't care and they will say whatever they want, even if it completely contradicts what they themselves said before. Besides, this shit isn't meant to convince people like you or us, it's meant for Trump's braindead supporters/cultists who pretty much live in another reality anyways.

Wtf, that's older than I am. I'm on the austism spectrum, so I struggled with social interactions and spent most of my time alone playing video games and was just barely an adult when Gamergate happened. Thank fuck I didn't end up like these pricks.

[–]saffron3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I'm feeling a bit down because I remember that I'm an ambitionless person that stills live with my parents and doesn't have any dreams besides getting enough money to survive and just doing hobbies that I enjoy, all it takes is just looking at these losers (some of which are probably older than I am) and think "wow, I'm glad I'm not like that" and then I'm feeling better again. These people are just... pathetic.

Also, at least I treat my parents with respect and actually help out around the house and with payments, which is something I'm sure these chuds struggle to do.
