I think cognitive dissonance strongly affects these attitudes. But the effect can seem counterintuitive.
You leave a dangerous situation in an authoritarian country to come to the US. Youâre happy to be here but then the US suddenly veers towards authoritarianism. That puts you in a mentally uncomfortable spot. How do you resolve the conflict?
Accept you could be screwed if you donât help fight off the fascists, so vote Kamala even if you would otherwise vote for a conservative because abortion or whatever.
Say no, I made the right choice to come here and I did it the ârightâ way and the people who didnât donât deserve to be here like I do. Iâm better than those people. Screw them. Trump might be an authoritarian but at least heâs not coming after me. Vote Trump and MAGA!
Purely based on feels, it is my opinion that some people who have experienced authoritarian persecution want to fight against authoritarianism, some want to make sure that theyâre on the next authoritarianâs team.
well yes, absolutely. the thing youâre missing is that Trumpâs idea of âtrumperâ and yours are different, though. If youâre not buying seven (maybe eight) figures of trumpcoin youâre not a trumper.
Yeah, I guess the question is why anyone would want to be on team authoritarian. Maybe itâs easier because thatâs what theyâve known and itâs in some ways more comfortable and natural. Or maybe they just want to be the ones meting out the punishments rather than being on the receiving end. It could just be about control. If itâs not your guy, you have none. If it is your guy, youâre more in charge.
Beyond ironic and depressing that he hates the people who actually are willing to pick strawberries and clean toilets to give their kids a better life.
This is really a magnificent specimen. Shit for brains over here votes for Trump because she thought he was going to just deport the bad hombres. And of course her husband gets got. Apparently she never got the memo that everyone who crosses illegally broke the law and is by definition a criminal.
So husband is gone, husbandâs income is gone, and she has to care for the kids alone. Iâm not sure she could have fucked her family harder than Trump just did if she tried. Her life is so shit right now, I almost donât wish anything even worse would happen to her. Almost.
Perhaps if she had gone earlier and harder to media on her pro-Trump stance, maybe she could have activated that lackey that I assume Trump has assigned to fix this kind of stuff. I doubt the lackey is gonna bring anyone back from Cuba, tho.
Fantastic stuff. The tears are especially delicious.
2019/2020 is a bit dated and a bit unconventional for the genre. Also he seems not truly wrecked the way our last idiot was. Iâm not even sure we have tears. His demeanor is very similar to âI shorted Tesla because it just doesnât make sense to have that valuation. Then it went up higher. Live and learnâ.
Still enjoyable. Just wished those South Africans fucked this racist piece of shit a whole lot harder than they actually did.
It really is funny that it never occurs to these MAGA chuds to vet their own employees. Or when they go to a restaurant and get mad service is slow or the maid doesnât make their bed on vacation.
I almost posted this yesterday but their faces are thoroughly uneaten
The couple was initially frustrated because they were having trouble getting a response from the company, but they said the company has since reached out to apologize. The company is planning to replace the watch and offered the Petits an $800 coupon to buy something else on the site.
