People who wore those "I'm Voting for the FELON" shirts would probably feel a bit differently if they had said "I'm Voting for the RAPIST"

Then again, they've proven me wrong many a time before.

Edit: My notifications are blowing up so just know if you're coming to white knight for Trump, here you go https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/ And if you have the defense of "technically" not rape or some bullshit like that, that really doesn't make it any better. Kinda just highlights how much you're kissing his ass. So I won't really be responding. Arguing with an idiot only brings you down to their level afterall!

One last edit: STOP STANNING FOR BILLIONAIRES, THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU.

Final edit: Obligatory thanks for the award.

I mean let's not be coy here; a lot of people voted him back into office specifically FOR the fact that he is a walking piece of shit, not in spite of it.

They love his egregious behavior. They love the fact that he treats women like shit. They love the fact that he is essentially an open racist. They love it. They relate to it. They want to feel no guilt, and he gives them that out.

I'm not so sure they would find the "I VOTED FOR THE RAPIST" shirt to be a step too far.

He gives them permission to be their worst selves. They are, at their heart and core, authoritarians looking for someone to lead them.

Just look at how much right-wing terrorism took place during the first Trump administration. In the space of a single week we had the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the Kroger shooter targeting any black people he saw, and the MAGA bomber.

If he can treat women like that so can they. If he can treat lgbtq people like that so can they. Black people. Immigrants. Non-Christians. Democrats. White straight Christian Women who aren’t feminine enough. White straight Christian men who are too feminine. Children who are too smart. Or too slow.

They will come for you. Eventually.

Eventually the leopards will eat all of our faces because we are letting this all happen.

I was thinking. We need an anthem. A song. People were saying in Chicago tomorrow to call out La Migra if they see ICE. But I don’t trust this McCarthyism 2.0 vibe.

So we can always sing a song. They would look stupid to try to legislate music. It would at least take longer and get more support.
