Trump just dropped a new video for his digital trading cards. If you can forgive yourself, spend a few seconds on the card site. You’ve been warned
This is why I shake my head anytime some idiot starts talking about “Blue MAGA”.
I might regret this, but: wtf is “Blue MAGA”?
It’s morons trying to turn the ridiculousness of MAGA against Democrats. It doesn’t work though, for obvious reasons.
There’s no such thing. But there are a handful of accounts here that start yelling it at anyone who’s not onboard with their claims that both sides are the same.
It’s a sign you should block the fuckwit using it.
For instance: I have been called this multiple times when I try to present a nuanced argument about the American electoral system to some people on this site about how AIPAC and the threat of their campaign money being deployed against Harris kinda ties her hands with regards to coming out strongly against the Gaza Genocide, and moreover that castigating Harris for that ambiguity is wrongheaded because she’s currently the VP and doesn’t have the ability to enact any policy on the matter at the moment.
Basically, it’s used by people pushing bad-faith arguments trying to sap support from the only viable candidate who’s NOT a fascist to try to create false equivalence about the political tribalism in the US. Which is deeply stupid, because I have big problems with a lot of the more capitalistic/corp-friendly positions the Democratic Party has. The only reason I’m not still a card-carrying member of the DSA is because their position on the Ukraine War is imbecilic in the extreme.
Ugh, I’m so mad about the DSA’s position on the Ukraine War. Like, wtf…? I’m with you on that.
Also on how, often here but not as bad as Reddit was, nuanced discussion can get swept away in the common fervor. I don’t think it’s as generally stupid or ill-willed, but it still happens sometimes.
Anyway, who cares what tankie jerks have to say? Just block em. They’re fucking bananas.
Yeah, it’s irritating, but it can be fun to rhetorically dismantle bad faith arguments from the same handful of people wherever you see them using said arguments, just in the interest of not letting them spew their idiocy unopposed. I’m not under any illusion that I’m changing their minds, but I do think I’m somewhat frustrating whatever agenda they’re trying to push, which is nice.
obligatory “it’s a cult”
Trump is literally selling hundreds of overpriced products and trinkets to his MAGA cult. Digital cards, hats, tee shirts, several different shoes, books, collectable coins, bobble heads, the list is endless. He has turned his political movement into the MAGA Home Shopping Network.
I mean, I sorta respect his willingness to debase himself in the quest to wring every cent outta the ploy. Except that I don’t. What a joke.
Keeping it classy as always
Thats not wierd at all.
Nothing screams “I have money” like having to garage sale your clothes in pieces.
I betcha you could get enough pieces to reupolstre your couch!
One of his pants could do that
How much of it is brown?
Haha. Hope his diaper was working that night.
Obviously this is whole thing is cultyand a scam, but isn’t selling pieces of the suit extra scammy? I remember seeing stuff where people have bought pieces of sports jerseys online - and it’s always something like a part of a tag, where it can’t be shown to actually be a piece of the authentic item.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they’re selling random pieces of cloth and not the suit itself. So a scam on top of a scam.
Totally normal.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
I hope he washes it so it doesn’t still smell like his shit-filled diaper.
…knowing him, though, he probably gets off on poor dirtbags having to smell his shit.
Those cards are going to stink like shit.
