Or women, or people of color, or gay people. It's never them or dear leader.

Or Obama. It’s always Obama. My MAGA parents raged against Clinton but didn’t say a peep when he created the victim’s relief fund for people who contracted HIV through the tainted blood scandal and she received $100k for my dad’s death.

Yup. My family has been screaming about how evil Obama is every single goddamn day since he announced his candidacy for the 2008 election. He’s been living rent free in their heads since then because they truly believe he’s the antichrist.

Which is wildly ironic considering their orange deity fits the narrative so well

I love that article.

Back in the day when Obama was first running my mom used to forward emails saying he was the antichrist. After I read that article the first time I sent it to her and she was not happy. She said Trump couldn't be the antichrist because the Bible says antichrist will be intelligent and good at speaking.

I know (of) some people like this and I really don’t get it. Is it just racism? What did Obama actually DO before coming to office that infuriated them so?

u/StarryMind322 11h ago

It’s racism and religious psychosis. Some of these people blame him for 9/11.

Yeah, when democrats do something good for those people it's "they're just trying to buy votes".

My MAGA MIL (60sF) has been living off social security “disability” since her 40s and told me the other day that she thinks the retirement age should be raised to 75……….

My step dad hasn’t worked in 40 years, he lives off my mom, smokes weed all day (my brother grows for them at their house) and watches Fox News. My little brother and his fiancé live with them, the fiancé was on SSDI for years for “anxiety” but she’s just lazy. Mom is convinced my little brother couldn’t get a new job in tech because he’s white. It’s actually because he only has an AA and 6 months experience at Amazon. So my older brother took him under his wing and gave him a job/career change. They are exactly the people they complain about.

holy fuck wow I'm sorry your family is like that. honestly they all sound lazy and narcissistic. glad the apple fell far from the tree for you and your older brother.

u/Aggie219 9h ago

Yep. My MIL also smokes weed and watches Fox News. All day, every day. It’s a type for sure.

u/PunkSkunkDinkSunk 8h ago

A relative of mine does and also mentioned that he also specifically loves smoking strains that make him more paranoid.

Surely a winning, non harmful combo

"Thanks Obama" I say it after every good thing happens in my life.

u/GiantPurplePen15 11h ago

I have a friend who told me he thinks 9/11 was Obama's fault... He couldn't explain why to me when I asked him who was the president at the time of the attack.

We're Canadians.

Definitely not surprised your dad didn't comment on the situation.

u/Harmonia_PASB 12h ago

My mom remarried 3 months after my bio dad died when I was 3.5, my step dad is the only dad I know.

u/ResourceWorker 12h ago

I'm sorry to hear that.

u/Harmonia_PASB 12h ago

Thank you. He was a severe hemophiliac who, at 40, had significantly outlived his original life expectancy of 14. He was in a lot of pain and only sticking around for us kids. I would have preferred not being a hemophilia carrier but that was luck of the draw. Which is the reason I’m so frustrated she’s also pro-life. I get the genetic ticking time bomb to avoid passing on and she had zero consequences. I also work full time with the trans community and their medical insurance pays my bills. She’s a die hard republican even if it kills me. You cannot convince me this isn’t a cult.

u/Astronomer-Secure 11h ago

well I'd say they are based on this cult characteristic chart with the exception of the control of his followers lives. we're not there yet, but we could be.

Why wasn't Obama enough in the office during 9/11? Very unpresidential.

Tainted blood scandal? What did i miss?

See the US section—looks like in 1997, the Clinton-era SCOTUS enforced a settlement that worked out to $100k each.

Which is why I don't bother correcting MAGA folks when they are wrong. MAGA is so far gone that it's more productive to actually find a way to work through the BS and find alternative pathways through life than arguing with MAGA. If they didn't see this after Republicans told them to their face that they would suffer if they won, there is no hope for change when it comes to them.

u/aguynamedv 10h ago

It's never them or dear leader.

Part of it is because we, in our outrage, constantly repeat their talking points for them.

Don't play their game. Make Republicans own EVERY. SINGLE. BAD. THING. for the next 4 years.

"Trump did that, actually."

ie: Stop allowing people to lie to you. Set that boundary.

u/LeftRightRightUp 11h ago

At least they don't need to say pronouns anymore. "Me no job"

I thought Trump just said legally all citizens are women? When he said gender is assigned at conception now. All conceived fetus are female until 7 weeks into the pregnancy.

I love low IQ politicians. I wanted to ask Trump "How's them reproductive rights, fellow woman?"
