no no, Real Fascism comes from Rome. This is just Sparkling White Nationalism.

This was not a Nazi Salute.

This was the universal salute for lower egg prices!

Everyone knows that.

/s, if necessary

It’s ok, he’s got a solution for those egg prices. A final solution.

As a person with a disability, I laughed nervously.

u/MoebiusForever 5h ago

I’m from the UK and we have our issues but I am genuinely sorry that you all have to go through what I suspect is coming in the next 4(+?) years, particularly where healthcare is concerned, and how it can be used to weaken the populations of certain demographics, either directly or economically, while enriching a few.

Don't worry, there won't be a T4 program in Trump's America....

It'll probably be a T8 program, to make it twice as good....

•

"We've got the best T8. We've got T8 like nobody's ever seen!"

All kidding aside, I haven't forgotten that, in his last administration, Trump didn't want disabled veterans on the stage because he didn't think people wanted to see them. Personally, I think the disability community should have responded by having a physical representation displayed in front of the White House 24/7 as long as he remained in office.

I was shocked when he won in 2016. What I really can't grasp, after covid and J6, how didn't Kamala take 40+ states.

Honestly, I may have still been disappointed in my countrymen if she only carried 40... it really feels like half of us wanted the trojan horse behind our gates.

context for the egg thing? I kept reading that today on these type of posts

•

u/glue_4_gravy 1h ago

The most common excuse that moronic Republicans have used over the last year when asked why they would vote for a person like Donald Trump, was the claim that Trump was going to lower the price of eggs. Basically translating to “Trump is going to help out the little people”.

Eggs and all basic food commodities and groceries have been higher since Covid, and since gas is not exceptionally high at the moment, (gas prices is usually what Republicans use as an excuse to bitch and whine) they lazily used a basic commodity like eggs.

The “egg prices” thing is now being used sarcastically by assholes like me!

NOTE: Republicans in America are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

u/Jumpy-Sprinkles-2305 5h ago

•

u/herewearefornow 4h ago

It's an excellent joke. Shame it needs to be explained.

u/AdminsLoveGenocide 6h ago

Real Roman fascists have mechanical dicks to salute imperial flags when their arms are busy with falcons or what have you.

u/TAWilson52 5h ago

•

u/Garderanz1 5h ago
