FP Edit: FOLKS PLEASE HELP ME!
As you all well know, the trumphumps came out in full force to keep their racist, bigot, idiot cult leader as president. Now that Biden is president-elect, we still have one problem: Mitch McConnel is still on the verge of being senate majority leader AGAIN.
He will spend another 6 years in there BLOCKING EVERYTHING Biden does just like he did Obama.
So what can you do? We have 2 democratic senators in Georgia going into run-off elections. Please Imgur! Let’s go ALL OUT for these 2 senators and text/call everyone in Georgia to go vote for them!
They have Zoom events coming up this week and weekend training you how to talk to people.
For Jon Ossof: https://www.mobilize.us/electjon
For Raphael Warnock: https://www.mobilize.us/warnockforgeorgia
I’m from MN and I’m going to be doing it from now until December 7th, their voter registration deadline.
The least we can do is text some random people to give Biden a chance to fix this country! Read more here: https://imgur.com/gallery/ao5XOvF

Isn't Mitch like 3000 years old? Why do you allow ancient relics from the past to govern your country today?

He’s brought billions of the nation’s tax dollars to Kentucky thru questioable “pork barrel” projects for decades and is much beloved for it

I believe you but the other guy lost by like 40k more votes.. may I ask why you say warnock?
NikoAndNoshi
What other guy? Jon? Go look at their campaign contributions, Warnock has less.
someoneturnoffmyphone
Jon lost by more so I figured he'd need the money more. Previous contributions aside
TheRockDude
Isn't Warnock running against Loeffler? Thought it was pretty much a given that Loeffler's going to lose
Cyranojoe
If it's a run-off, nothing 's a given. That said, I dunno which one needs the cash more.
kylozodaclown
Back to under your rocks and don’t come back. Let’s keep the fire going folks. Eyes to Georgia.
bassaro
These are our countrymen. We may disagree with them, but we cannot pretend they do not exist or are going away. To do so is to deny reality.
uptaco
Fuck that. True fiscal-conservatives like these (metaphorically) who are willing to concede are needed. I hope the Senate is split.
Cyranojoe
Willing to concede? You mean compromise? Because McConnell stopped doing that about 12 years ago.
FloodingWaters
Do the world a favor and research which admins and which congresses have been more fiscally responsible in the past 30 years.
kylozodaclown
It’s complicit assholes like this guy who enable Trumpists. I’m glad they’re shrinking with their tails tucked. They should be ashamed.

Totally going to keep shrinking if us liberals keep jeering.

Retreat would be better than Taps
Toastandjelly
Wow people still hate more than Trump and say how loving they are
neverborne
National anthem is played as flag is lowered. Retreat is played as the CG approaches the flag.
ActionJohnnie
Not with heel spurs
Howmuchistoomuchspam
Also who decided trump earned Taps?
MrTulkas
Yeah honestly a grated on me a lot because taps was played at both my grandfathers funerals.
LofiMordecai
Why just why. He has not earned TAPS
Smagalicious
Yeah...trump has not and should not EVER have taps played for him. Unfortunately, since he was president, they will play it at his funeral.
ShaunB
Then I look forward to hearing it soon.

Much harder to play and less known.

Taps?
Denverdudeareeno

Thewulasvegas
The song playing in the video is called Taps.
MetapodTrackStar
From Wiki: "Taps" is a bugle call played at 2100 hrs, during flag ceremonies, and at military funerals by the United States Armed Forces.

And it should be an off key kazoo.

Can we change it for a sax and play Benny hill?

DustyMcKnuckles
As someone who was colorguard, Retreat is what youre supposed to play while lowering the flag at the end of the duty day.
DustyMcKnuckles
Taps is for respecting those who were lost. In this specific case, humbly, fuck those who lost.

Most people wouldn’t recognize “retreat,” they barely recognize “taps”

I'm probably commiting some form of subside by saying this, but some, SOME Trump supporters/republicans aren't worth hating. Again, not all

I don’t hate them because sadly I’m surrounded by them but I’ve learned to just not to talk about him with them because they don’t listen

Sorry, but if they voted for him, they are not intelligent. Intelligent people learn from history and try to not repeat it.

Just cult shit

Imagine that were Boris Johnson they worshipped like that, thats how weird it looks for a bit of comparison if you're desensitised
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Some people need a personality, and since they are too inept to create their own, they get theirs from copying someone else.
TupacAintDead
It’s a cult
ImAdoctor
Elected officials should be treated like employees, not be worshipped.

That's because you aren't a part of a cult.

StellarJay77
Because their president only represents them, while Biden represents all Americans.
StellarJay77
The silver lining though is a lot more people are paying attention now that they’ve seen how an incompetent government impacts them.
TheDogEnd
When you are nothing, and nobody, it feels good to give yourself up to something larger than yourself so as to be important by proxy
wmzer0mw1
The main reason, is their own lives are empty, so they need to be part of something to have meaning.
IIINanuqIII
I think for some folk it became a parasocial relationship. When Trump won, they won. When he loses, they lose. Dangerous stuff.
SirDawby
in the 90s bring politically correct was shoved down their throat, dont offend anyone, now they WANT to offend as many as they can
girlfartjapan
Haha I’ll never understand why these guys didn’t just burn the flag right there and then.
Goryofa
It's that or get your own identity and that's risky.
barf1189
These are the types of people that like flags in general. These people bought tons of American flags before Trump. Why the surprise?
SpamYarBlockers
People feel rootless and like they have nothing to identify with in a media and capitalism driven world. Tribal identity fills the void /1

left by disintegrating communities. It used to be college sports teams. Now it is political parties and candidates. /2

You wont , but legacy of Hitler and Joseph Goebbels shown that populism and propaganda are strong tools.
JarJarBinksKisser
Worked with a guy like that. Always bitched about gas. Pointed out to him he never USED his truck to load anything. Was just wasting money.
JarJarBinksKisser
It was like I opened his third eye when I pointed it out. That he had a big ass gas money wasting truck for no reason. & no where to park it
Zickezacke
Easy: If you have nothing else in your shitty live because you're a failure.
Leeloobanana
Constituents you need to motivate. Fans are self motivating. Merchandise makes fans.
ndapp
Both sides had those, Trump had way more. For an outsider it seems Trump had more direct supporters but Biden had supporters and Trump hate
thotheger
Must be an american thing
decarnatedame
I was truly irritated at one of these doofs. Not because of the flag-covered truck. But because his American flag was all tattered. >:(
TwoSeamer
I'm a green card holder and wife works for the county. I am affected by levies and taxes I can't vote for and she can't support in any 1/2
TwoSeamer
Obvious ways like signs and posts, because it would make her appear biased. Never liked signs, but not being able to vote locally SUCKS
belljay68512
I assume anyone with a sign is simple minded. Except for Todd. He likes cheese.

One word. Sports. We do this with our sports teams and we have turned political parties into the same thing. Breaking it will be hard.

DreamingOfDistantShores
I could give it a pass if it were only for election season. Bumper stickers, flags, whatever. But it got real creepy, real fast, when the
DreamingOfDistantShores
flags and merch kept proliferating, and became more and more of an identity marker. I'm glad Biden won, but fuck if I'm ever going to wear
DreamingOfDistantShores
a Biden shirt. I'm going to watch his every move and join the push to hold him accountable, like I would any politician.
getawesome
This. I've seen a couple huge Biden flags in yards, but not nearly to the same degree, with the truck flags, hats, shirts, window decals...
getawesome
It's almost as if they are allegiant to Trump rather than their country... but that would be crazy, right? Or maybe it's exactly that.
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
Because Trump is a demagogue. He values only loyalty to himself. Thus , his followers tend to have the blindness of cult members.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Same. Someone I know (a trumper) saw me yesterday and was like "ugh ok, go ahead and gloat" and I'm like "um, I mean, I'm glad Biden won,

but I'm not about to rub it in your face or anything. I voted, and that's that. He's not my personal hero or anything, he's a politician."

I’ve said it many times and will say it again. They are a cult. They weren’t voting against democrats, they are voting for their cult leader
dragonherder
Little of column A little of column B. They wanted to "own the libs" on top of voting for their cult leader.

hankthepigeon570
Both. Liberals are their evil sworn enemies who are trying to destroy their country AND McDonald is their flawless leader.

They're compensating. And I don't just mean in the pants. They are some of the most insecure people. Despite all their rhetoric of Libs.
MassStorageDeviceCanNowBeSafelyRemoved
all their rhetoric of libs is exactly the giveaway of their insecurities
NikoAndNoshi
I think a lot of these people, their leader included, have unresolved childhood trauma. How else can you believe democrats eat babies?

I've seen hats and pins and bumper stickers. I'm not saying shirts and flags didn't exist but they were certainly not as popular.

Here in central PA there are businesses with 20-foot tall TRUMP painted on their exteriors. There are houses with 25+ signs in their yards.

A local fireworks store has a highway construction sign flashing TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP in their parking lot. These people are fucking psychotic.

I saw quite a few hats and flags when Obama was running.
srsfaceI8C
During the actual election season, that's fine. But I've been seeing MAGA hats and shirts and flags displayed this entire presidency.
dragonherder
When he was running. Not during his entire terms and not in a cult like manner with giant flags on Trucks. Flags, bumper stickers, hats, and
dragonherder
the occasional shirt to show support was it.
