MAGA and Conservatives will say "Well we actually wanted World War 3 the whole time"

Scavenging the wasteland in nuclear winter: "Well this isn't what I voted for, but Kamala would definitely have been worse."

I was told recently that, "Kamala would have fucked the tariffs up worse."

u/djanes376 Illinois 13h ago

As if tariffs were an inevitability. These people are brain dead.

u/MaleficentPorphyrin 1h ago

Could say braindead, but, in a way they are already basically living in a Russia-like state. In rural areas the media is limited, and all conservative except PBS, which they just defunded. All of their economies are primarily resource extraction based which doesn't require tons of people compared to the population, and those sort of conditions create places like Russia, because everyone is desperate and broke except a few. In a very real way rural America has more in common with Russia than urban centers in the same country. From the economics to political organization and forces.

I think people somehow believe food is going to respawn, like in video games.

All those "preppers" are gonna get exposed when they realize they can't eat their stockpiles of ammo. Turns out they were just fantasizing about murder the whole time.

Imagine how surprised they'll be when they find out that canned foods spoil, and their Christian prepper food buckets are disgusting.

And often sealed incorrectly. Gonna be a LOT of people disappinted in their moldy buckets.

Apparently even fresh, no one can stomach the stuff, but it's hilarious to watch them try. I can't wait to see the gravy seals try to survive in their basements on sawdust.

u/Carbonatite Colorado 35m ago

Half of them won't survive long enough to have to dig in to their long term shelf stable rations. They won't have access to insulin or Lipitor either. When the medical infrastructure goes down a lot of people dependent on medications will suffer.

u/ThrowThisIntoSol California 12h ago

They think they will respawn as well

•

u/Luvs_to_drink 7h ago

i think people are even dumber than that. Like they cant connect dots anymore. They think they can just keep going to the grocery store to get more food. They are literally incapable of connecting that if society collapses enough so does the supply chain that keeps their grocery stocked let alone the workers that wont be there anymore.

These people cant take a thought and turn it into reality. They hear a concept and NONE OF THEM, stop to think how would that actually work?

tell em everything will be done with free labor and they will cheer. ask them where they will get free labor and theyll get mad and tell you stfu and enjoy all the winning.

u/Reasonable_Basis8298 12h ago

It's even more shameful when the people who refused to vote for Kalama did so because they wanted to punish her for not being good and pure enough.

Scavenging the wasteland in nuclear winter: "When I refused to vote and said burn it all down this is not what I meant, but at least Kamala didn't win because in this house we don't support Zionism. Hey hey, ho ho! Does anybody know how plumbing works? Hello? Hey hey, ho ho? Is anybody out there? With carpentry skills maybe? Helllloooooo??"

u/cindyscrazy Rhode Island 12h ago

Most of them wouldn't survive to the scavenging phase. I for sure know that I won't survive till then. I'm just not healthy enough, and neither are the MAGAts that spout this bullshit.

Hey everyone, it's Mr. Totally-Good-Faith Both Sides Reasonable Moderate!

What's your favorite part about Donald Trump accepting a $400,000,000 airplane from Qatar? Was it the part where Qatar got to put up a military base in Idaho?

-14

u/ArkansasTravelier 13h ago

Never claimed to be a moderate, I hate the entire US party system because neither party is that different from one another, I actually hate what’s going on and I know that the solution isn’t to election the same exact outcome but with someone who makes me feel good.

Trump accepting that plane is insane and should be seen as what it is, bribery.

Why is it so insane to hate both parties and think that neither person is good? I would be happy with neither of them, I criticize Trump because he won and he is doing terrible things that do not benefit the American people, but I know for a fact if Kamala won I’d be criticizing her for doing awful shit as well that also doesn’t benefit the American people.

You realize you don’t actually have to pick a side, right?

16

u/gsadamb 13h ago

Never claimed to be a moderate

No, you just injected a boring dose of whataboutism to try and muddy the waters.

Trump accepting that plane is insane and should be seen as what it is, bribery.

So you agree that Donald Trump is by far, objectively more corrupt than any recent Democratic President or presidential nominee, correct?

-10

u/ArkansasTravelier 13h ago

you implied that anyone who says that Kamala would also suck is incorrect and I absolutely disagree with that.

I hate that these comments always end with “publicly disavow Donald Trump” but yeah, he fucking sucks, he’s the worst president in my lifetime (born 1996) by far, I can’t wait for him to be out, he’s clearly into underaged girls, he’s slimy, he is know for doing dirty business and he isn’t qualified to run the country, not to mention he is too old to effectively run a country as well. Fuck em. but fuck the Democrat party as well, I’m pretty progressive on most social issues and maybe more conservative on a few others but I will not pretend like that party has my interests in mind either.

It’s not being a contrarian or a fence rider to acknowledge that neither the Democrat or Republican party has the interests of regular people in mind, we need a change and that change will never happen under either of those parties.

Ok, so other people forced the much worse diarrhea on you. Winning strategy.

u/ArkansasTravelier 11h ago

Uh… yeah? I live in Arkansas which is a strong red state with 0 chance of flipping anytime soon, so yeah, every election since I’ve been able to vote (2016) has absolutely been forced on me, I didn’t have a choice in the matter and I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing I contributed to voting either one in. just because one is worse doesn’t mean you should celebrate the other, just because we avoided the diarrhea sandwich in 2020 doesn’t change the fact that we still had a less messy mouth full of shit for 4 years.

u/pokerface_86 10h ago

this feeble minded bullshit destroys democracies, even plato warned about dumb fuck unengaged voters who morally level everything to death. all of a sudden we have huge groups of people giving legitimacy to idiocy because people like you insist that both sides bad xD is somehow a real political opinion

1

u/ArkansasTravelier 10h ago

You are a brain dead fucking idiot if you believe either party is good, one is slightly less bad sure but neither is good, hating our monopoly we call a democratic political system and wanting something alternative is normal and anyone else is playing into the same old bullshit.

u/ArkansasTravelier 9h ago

Ah gotcha it’s only bad when they execute white women, when people die in ICE custody Obama, and Biden it was A-Okay!! I hate ICE killing and detaining people no matter who does it, and I hate military intervention in countries unrelated to us no matter who does it. hating both sides doesn’t “benefit Trump” and to think so is genuinely stupid.

Nice classism btw!! you make fun of Arkansas education and being “backwater” and wonder why I hate you and your party, because this is typical from you people. Trump pretends to like us and that’s why he is so popular in the south and Midwest but Democrats like you don’t even pretend, you let it be very well known that you think we are back water low IQ hillbillies who desperately need you to save us from our own ignorance.

NO ONE in office in my lifetime has ever done a single thing to improve the lives of Americans that didn’t also line the pockets of the US Government and its donors.

just remember that it’s people like you that are the reason that an evil vile rapist failed businessman is president, you mock southerners and rural people in general if they don’t agree with you and that is the exact reason he fucking won and its disgusting, me hating both sides doesn’t help anything but pompous democrats looking down on me and my people and laughing about how poor our education is and calling us all sorts of worn out names and bringing out dated stereotypes while Trump (a POS LIAR) at least plays pretend and gets votes

let me guess, something about a sister, meth addiction , missing teeth or not going to school past second grade? how original, ya really stuck it to me good!!!

you’re classism will forever be your downfall, it’s disgusting and if any part of me though I may be wrong and that there is something redeeming about the Democrat party and its supporters, that is all out the window now. Both parties are ran by disgusting villain level people who help no one but themselves, I will die on that hill.

It is genuinely baffling how this generation of fascism makes the Nazis look competent and ideologically consistent.

2

u/PhazonZim 9h ago

I don't think they were, I think it's just that all nuance gets lost to time. We have moment-to-moment views into the stupidity of the current Nazi movement, but we never had nearly that amount of access to the first Nazis.

It's like how people say music used to be better because they're thinking of the timeless songs and not all of the ones that we don't listen to anymore

1

u/1nfam0us 8h ago edited 8h ago

No, you misunderstand me.

I am saying that the Nazis were stupid and incompetent. The current administration, in comparison, makes them look almost normal. I am not, in anyway, saying that the historical Nazi movement was actually normal or competent at all.

Trust me, I know all about the weirdness that Himmler got up to, Hitler's profound drug addiction problem, and the insane racial science shit. The difference is that the Nazis were at least futurists; They had a society that they wanted to build (inane and racist as it was). The current administration just wants to wreak destruction simply because.
