Hilarious because Mother Theresa was actually a hypocrite POS who let people suffer and then agreed to treatment with modern medicine that she denied to those in her care when she got sick
I used to dog very hardcore Bernie supporters a bit for tying their identity too much to a politician.
I would like to take this time to formally apologize to anybody I even thought that about. Clearly I did not understand what true fanaticism looked like.
Dude Bernie was chill as fuck and his supporters some of the nicest most intelligent people I've been around.
Then came the astroturfing shitheads - a mixture of chapotraphouse tankies and right-wing operatives trying to wedge-drive. This worsened a lot for his 2020 run.
But skip the online games and go to any of his rallies and it was a good message not full of hate but of love and working together. Our identity was always that; it's just that for once we felt represented.
I remember going to one Bernie March and one of the guys next to us, an older guy, he was just so positive and full of genuine energy. Inbetween chants we chatted. Very welcoming, way more understanding of the conservative opposition than I've ever been - very "They're in a bad place, and their views are bad, but mostly I feel bad for them, and think we need to help them find their way left."
As someone who grew up in a very conservative area, my cynical-ass position was (and is) more "They're beyond saving; ignoring them is the kindest thing we can do", but I found his sincerity very touching. Lot of little moments like that during campaign events. Lot of people who really wanted to make the world better, and probably have made the world better just by their honest efforts.
That’s what you experienced, that’s not what I experienced (I volunteered for his campaign), but again, it was nothing like the zealotry we see with the MAGA crowd.
These are the people who are now, seemingly unironically, wearing diapers to rallies.
Because Trump wears diapers, and libs made fun of this, so ... if they wear diapers its ... owning the libs?
...
I have a degree in poli sci.
While at a larger level I can understand how a society slips into fascism, at the granular level, I stopped attempting to understand the individual seemingly constant state of delusional psychosis caused by the amount of cognitive dissonance needed for half of what these morons do.
For me that moment came 3 years ago when I attempted to convince my dad that no, no Tom Hanks is not a pedophile satanist who is part of a grand conspiracy.
this is not reported as fact by any legitimate media outlet i can find and the images purporting to feature Trump wearing diapers were faked.
careful what you post and upvote just because it matches your perspective, else we end up no better than the “they’re putting litter boxes in the schools” crowd.
This is Trump superfan Jake Byrd aka comedian Tony Barbieri doing a bit for Jimmy Kimmel.
But you weren’t the only one fooled - Davram from The Good Liars thought it was possibly real when he saw Jake trying to hang himself from a tree as part of the bit.
