#trump is a cult leader

You know, I've come to the realization that a lot of these MAGA guys are actually just literal socialists and would-be union workers who've been conned into believing Trump is the one looking out for the little guy when he's not. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos where a fair few people go to Trump rallies and pitch leftist ideas in a Trump-esque way, and they eat it up.

I think a good few genuinely believe in the left's side of things and in technicality are socialist but grew up with the education of 'socialist = bad' and because 'they're not bad' they can't be socialist so what else is left but to I guess... not be on the side of the ones people say are socialist since 'socialist = bad'. Don't know if that makes sense but I hope it does.

I mean, think about it for a second: who are the guys buying into the 'conspiracy' that the rich run the world (globalist agenda) and are actively against that? That's literally just 'eat the rich' from a rightist perspective and they don't realize they're fighting for the same thing. Who are the guys yelling about 'big pharma' withholding secret cures for this or whatever for the sake of money? They're two steps to wanting free healthcare and another two from just outright hating the capitalist system. The only issue is how deep the cultist mindset of Trump has been burned into their heads to the point you can't get it through to them without them feverishly denying all this.

It's a sad reality, actually, because this is the same working man spirit that got FDR and Teddy Roosevelt into office. But like Reagan, it's been corrupted and twisted so that people believe the guy fighting for the rich is fighting for them. It's a political zombie invasion- people who would be your friends but a few years ago infected and corrupted into attacking you.

And yes; there are a large amount in his base - probably a majority -that are just racist sexist assholes. I'm not saying all the MAGA guys are secretly your zombified friends. But there are some people who are simply victims of the flawed American education system that both Democrats and Republicans hate (in their own way, of course).

just a few thoughts i've been having while trying to see things more clearly.

[screee-ee]

it sucks being a lib in the south. if you express any kind of alternate opinion to traditional MAGA beliefs, you're expected to present a friggin powerpoint explanation of everything you think and why. You're put under an immediate spotlight right then and there, and all eyes turn to you with glares of hatred. Whereas if you vomit out some trash you heard on News Max, everyone takes it at face value.

I don't know about you, but I'm not good at explaining why I think things. I sort of shut down and forget everything if someone asks me to elaborate. As such, everyone in my family thinks I'm a gullible idiot who went away to art school and "came back a lib."

I admit I used to fall for the right wing propaganda as a kid because it was literally all I had ever known, but my world view was slowly shattered throughout grade school, when I finally had access to people who helped me see the other side of things (i.e. they didn't kiss the ground George Bush walked on and didn't wish death on Obama).

It wasn't until I went away to art school that I was actually brave enough to admit that I had changed, but it sucks having your entire family think "you're not as good as you used to be" just because the "you" they used to know was a scared, intimidated kid who tried desperately to fit in in any way possible, even if that meant nodding along to things that you had a bad gut feeling about.

What I learned from it all is this: just because someone is good at arguing doesn't mean they're right, it just means they've had more practice. And that's nothing to be proud of.

He can pretend people laughing at him are laughing with him, but there’s no way to flip the script on booing and jeering. Let’s do more of that.

i will not lie this whole platform is hilarious to me. I dont even have 1k followers here yet (not something i care about) but i am really close to. this blog initially wasnt even supposed to have one single follower. some of my art posts make it to several thousand notes but only if theyre fanart which is understandable. all of this is normal. but somehow SOMEHOW ive created some sort of mold cult which exists parallel to the bsd fanart in this blog. my average shitpost or mold preaching gets more notes than any of my non bsd art and more notes than the non-art posts of many of my mutuals that have several thousand followers. i did not mean for a single second for this to happen. Yet i will embrace it

[achievementhaunterss]

think i said this before but we're seeing maga politicians absoutely trip over themselves to participate in the dick sucking olympics because there is no heir apparent with maga and by extension the republican party. they're all trying to curry favor with trump so they'll be the next head of the party.

Guys!

My mother has finally realized that just because her cult leader is becoming president does not mean prices are going to go down!

Now, she just needs to realize she's part of a cult!

TikTok ban lasting less than 24 hrs is so in character for the US government that it’s sad. Here’s to whatever insanely depressing, “can’t make this shit up”, thing Felon Elect Donald’s cult of cronies is hoping all this TikTok news will distract us from.

liking a politician is like thinking the used car salesman is your friend

As an artist I’ve learned to not stay silent. We need to fight against bigotry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, facism, oligarchs and yet again we will need to dig our heals in and fight like hell.

This is not the end of us all, but rather the fire beneath our asses. We are strong together and will not stop until we are all free.
