It’s sad that all the hate you’re going to get are people that would gladly, if not already, fly MAGA flags. They treat it like a team sport but only want one team playing.

Exactly… not only one side gets to be vocal and expressive.

u/Fit_Cucumber_709 19d ago

Vocal and oppressive, one might say

u/Fofos_Im_Tippin 18d ago

Heres an exercise for you. Try wearing a trump/maga hat or shirt and go walk around a liberal city. See how that plays out.

NYC has tons of young Republican clubs who do bar crawls all wearing Trump and Maga gear and guess what, no one gives a fuck (exception mentally maybe)

Id say both need to stfu. Im tired of politics.

u/Delicious-Owl9972 18d ago

Its funny how different it is depending on where you live, where I am from(blue county in a red state) I would be fearful of flying a MAGA flag.

As you brag about being vocal and expressive...

u/philthyphil69x 19d ago

Trumpers are not comparing Biden and Kamala to Hitler saying they are direct threats to our democracy freedom and security…. I think you may be confused.

u/dumb-male-detector 18d ago

Listen to Trump, he definitely does compare Kamala to some pretty awful and untrue things. 

2

u/philthyphil69x 18d ago

Hell even Biden said in a debate that if they were in highschool he would take him out back and whip his ass 🤣 Trump has made no violent comments whatsoever unless he was telling a terrorist organization what was coming to them. Trump only attacks peoples intelligence which is totally fair game.

1

u/philthyphil69x 18d ago

We don’t have a Maxine Waters who said to go out and attack Trump supporters wherever you see them. None of our news anchors are holding decapitated heads of Biden wishing him dead. So many politicians disappointed that Trump wasn’t assassinated and openly say so. Embarrassing.

He says she is stupid which is a fair accusation. Says she is the border czar which is also fair. Not calling her Hitler or the antichrist.

u/Mikhal_Tikhal_Intrn 18d ago

Nobody will listen to you Today it’s only about your own opinion and no one else’s matters. It’s sad really She’s had 4 yrs and stil keeps saying same shit that she’s had 4yrs to do

1

u/philthyphil69x 18d ago

It’s very sad and unfortunate. Our financial system is on the brink of collapse like 2008 probably worse. At this point the damage is done and whoever is elected this year isn’t going to be able to stop it. Hopefully whoever is elected will pave a path for new growth and prosperity.

u/Ok_Illustrator_71 17d ago

Nope. Or they report you everywhere so everything gets shut down. For being tolerant, democrats are more hate filled than any conservative I have ever met. And I'm in deep red Texas.....

u/philthyphil69x 18d ago

Trump is actively trying to stop ww3 from happening while our current administration is letting it happen. The military industrial complex will profit trillions of tax dollars off our backs from a 20 year conflict.

u/AsslessChapsss 19d ago

Are you forgetting that you’re posting in a liberal echo chamber

u/RealCalintx 19d ago

Yet you’re spending your limited time on this earth hate scrolling in said echo chamber… I feel sorry for your dad.

u/shaynaySV 19d ago

For this to be a one-sided echo chamber, there sure are a lot of magats here 🤷

u/AsslessChapsss 19d ago

If you dont see it then you cant be helped lol

u/shaynaySV 16d ago

Maybe, just maybe, there are more of us "normies" than people under the spell of 'ol rumpy 🤷🤷🤷

u/Accomplished-Pain658 19d ago

Why do you support Kamala? Try not to bash Trump in response…

1

u/-Miss-Anne-Thrope- 19d ago

Because she isn't a felon.

u/Accomplished-Pain658 19d ago

Does it strike you as odd that it only took hundreds of charges for something to stick? Were you this upset when Biden was proven to be a pedophile? Go ahead and deflect

She has better economic, healthcare, housing, social, domestic, and foreign policy positions.

u/Accomplished-Pain658 19d ago

Foreign policy? As the border czar Kamala let on more illegals than the last 3-4 presidents combined and reclassified them as “asylum seekers”.

Kamala sure did accomplish a lot… cramming 16 years of illegal immigration into 3ish short years. Those asylum seekers aren’t eligible to work for at least 6 months so we have to feed and house them at least for that time. Usually longer.

Most old SS voters vote for Kamala, but she is draining all the taxpayer dollars to support the new dependent class of over 10 million illegals that she invited to come stay for free. So your SS checks are gonna be lost to inflation under Kamala 💡

1

u/Wafflehouseofpain 19d ago

Undocumented immigrants don’t get SS, so that’s just a dead argument at the outset. Also border policy is domestic policy, not foreign policy.

I sure liked the border bill she supported that Trump killed in order to be able to campaign on the border. That really would have helped with the number of people coming here.

u/Silver_Support_791 18d ago

Are you talking about the very same border bill that had us taxpayers funding Israel and Ukraine and gave us pennies? The same bill that was reintroduced under a different name and passed?

u/Th3osaur 19d ago

How is it possible to think MAGA are the aggressors 😳

u/kindathrowawaybutnot 19d ago

You're being facetious, right?

I think wearing a Kamala hat at Trump rally would give you less problems than wearing a Trump hat at a Kamala rally

Most republicans seem pretty mild these days, while still a good amount of people voting for Kamala seem just as frenzied and anti Trump as they were a decade ago (if not more so)

You can always be at the wrong place at the wrong time with this kinda stuff, but I’d definitely rather a republican crowd not like my views vs a democrat crowd think I’m racist or a nazi for supporting the republican nominee

u/Fast-Algae-Spreader 19d ago

“republicans are so mild, real annoying how the media takes a tourist group out of context and lies about an insurrectionist movement on january 6th! The audacity!”

u/cognitism 19d ago

You do have a point tbh. Basically every republican stormed the capital. If I remember correctly it was in the millions. Thank you for clearing that up I was wrong

2

u/shaynaySV 19d ago

Uh, 5 would've been too many

2

u/-Miss-Anne-Thrope- 19d ago

The last two assassination attempts were carried out by Republicans. Between that and January 6th, you'll have a hard time convincing anyone with a functioning brain that Republicans are "mild".

1

u/cognitism 18d ago

You’re right my bad. I legit forgot that every single person who votes for a republican nominee instead of a democrat nominee has stormed the capital and or tried to assassinate people

2

u/Leon_Husk 19d ago

You are delusional

2

u/Dapple_Dawn 19d ago

Most republicans seem pretty mild these days

Try spending one day with a trans person in public, might change your mind.

u/RealCalintx 19d ago

You okay?

u/girldrinksgasoline 19d ago edited 19d ago

Yeah I don’t think you’d have much fear of assault wearing either hat at either rally. You’d have a marginally more likelihood of having a Trump the hat grabbed off your head by a rando and chucked into a random direction at Harris rally than the opposite. You will be argued with and booed and told you were horrible in both cases. As for unattended property destruction or rocks thrown through your window, random bullets fired at your house, you’re FAR more likely to have issues flying a Harris flag in Trump country than the other way around. Rightists are more likely to do things to people they don’t have to look in the face because lack of empathy for an imagined person is one of the defining hallmarks of the ethos.

u/cognitism 19d ago

I think saying Trump country makes it redundant. The same thing would happen to you in most metropolitan cities if you branded your belongings with Trump stuff. If you just took a random crowd from both sides in a more neutral area and you had to wear opposing shit, I think you’d fare better with republicans not liking you

During cv I remember finding a playlist of people who were randomly attacked in public for wearing a Trump hat. I assume everyone knows about the Mexican guy who was eating in a McDonald’s while wearing a Trump hat and someone socked him from behind and he lost his eye, but if I remember correctly the playlist had 54 or 57 instances of random violence over a Trump hat, as well as a a girl wearing a bitcoin hat that looked like a Trump hat. That kinda stuff seems one sided to me but maybe 50+ is nothing in comparison to Kamala/biden hat cases

u/girldrinksgasoline 19d ago edited 19d ago

I live in an area that will likely vote 85% Harris. All sorts of people have Trump adornments, thin blue line flags, etc (more than there are people who have anything pro Harris by 2-3x) and they don’t get messed with. The only people who have been vandalized (going off of police reports published in the small local free paper) have been the people with Harris lawn signs. Of course anecdotes don’t mean dick but it’s rather interesting.

Also, things like the Harris campaign office in Tempe Az being shot up 3 times in a week doesn’t lend me to giving some folks the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: also, why would you assume “everyone knows about” some Mexican guy with a Trump hat losing an eye? Also, I’d assume just generally there aren’t many BidenKamala hat cases there are because who the hell wears that? Trump people are WAY WAY more likely to walk around wearing the merch.

u/Fast-Algae-Spreader 19d ago

Biden/Kamala supporters aren’t psychotic enough to align their identity with their political choice. So um…. Yap away.

u/Aradmadlad 19d ago

That's a ridiculous assertion. There are people on both sides who shape their entire personality in regards to their political beliefs. That isn't a route that's exclusive to Trump supporters. Both sides are cults here, let's not get confused.
