Sadly some people think “revenge” is a good enough platform to qualify sometime for the top office. As long as the revenge is at least pretending to target people they already don’t like or that they’ve been programmed to think had wronged them in some way.

High school mentality.

Lorde’s “Yellow Flicker Beat” sounds like it was written for this guy.

Most Trump supporters don’t seem to realize that he wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. Well, unless they’re members of Mar-a-Lago. I think that’s included in the membership, but I’m gonna guess that job gets delegated to Don Jr. or Eric.

Unfortunately, Project 2025 is a whole book/organisation devoted to getting effective permanent revenge.

It’s basically a playbook on how to skirt and break the law in a way not likely to incite a counter revolution.

Sadly a lot of people unironically think that these captions should be reversed, because revenge = violence and that’s Chad af and helping others is for wusses, or something

Also, hundreds of years of prosperity gospel. If you’re poor or suffering, then you must have done something wrong because God is punishing you. If you’re thriving, then you must be good because God is rewarding you. That’s one reason why the police go after poor people more heavily. There more likely to pull over an old beater car than they are a new pickup truck. So if you want to commit crimes just drive a newer truck because they won’t even look at you. Even better if you put a thin line sticker somewhere.

Not “hundreds of years”, don’t let them make you think it’s old. The idea that “God wants you to be wealthy and healthy and being poor and sick is because you displeased God” only really goes back to the start of the last century, and gained a lot of traction with the Jesus People type revivals in the 70s, when faith healing became a serious mainstream thing in the US. The larger portion of devout US Christians were largely fairly apolitical to left-leaning until about the 50s.

I think it does have some roots from back in the puritan settler days where hard work was a virtue.

That’s why tankies don’t want to support kamala.

It’s painfully clear by now that Gaza is just a trump card for them to whine about. It sucks.

“That” being the promises in the meme? I don’t understand why that would make them not support Kamala.

So lemme break things down…

Trump would turn the Israeli genocide of Palestine up to 11… MFKN TURBOMODE9000 GENOCIDE.

I’m figuring that must be what the tankies want to happen.

Or maybe you can figure out how voting for a third party that won’t win (I fucking promise you they won’t) ISNT helping trump out.

They’re leveraging a genocide to fuck with people’s emotions to manipulate things. It’s gross. Tankies are gross.

Well given that Acceleration is a go-to Tankie power move…

The results of this election should look like those rigged Central American dictatorship elections. So ashamed that so many of my fellow Americans can’t get the mental health help they obviously need.
