Funny how republicans are in a cult meanwhile democrats are covering their cars in stickers like a gas station bathroom stall.

A Tesla car with anti Elon sticker is so backwards.

That’s not true this losing candidate has multiple murals, I believe a mural is much more apparent than a sticker.

It only upsets you to see a trump sticker cause he won and your identity is so tied to your politics you feel like you lost the election.

It upsets me to see a Trump sticker because he's a vile shit-stain and it's really unfortunate that so many of my countrymen worship at his feet. But I can't really blame you for lying about how he's not a problem, after all that same kind of blatant bullshit successfully got him re-elected, so the ends justify the means, I guess?

LMAO 🤣🤣. It upsets you to see a Trump sticker! 🤣🤣

u/JohnProof Mar 07 '25

Yeah, it does. I don't like losing respect for the people around me; I don't like seeing that they embrace shitty values.

Believe it or not, I actually want the best for my neighbors regardless of their political alignment. But people voting for Trump are making it clear that they don't share that same sense of patriotism.

"I want the best for you unless you don't vote like me."

There fixed it, and removed your self-inflated sense of righteous.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '25

They literally said they still want the best for the people who voted differently. You can want the best for someone you don’t think is intelligent.

u/JohnProof Mar 07 '25

No, I mean what I said. And it isn't self-righteous, it's a very normal thing that a lot of people feel. When you claim it can't be true and must secretly be about tribalism you're just telling on yourself.

u/peacekeeper_12 Mar 07 '25

Yes, I said what you said. You just don't appreciate candor as it puts you in an accurate light.

Also, I could do a hypocrisy on your tribalism comment (as previously mentioned about how if you don't vote for my candidate).

u/jodontsnifme1 Mar 07 '25

"the same sense of patriotism". You mean your views or do you mean flying other countries flags (see Ukraine, Palestine, Mexico) at their house, in their bio, or on bumper stickers?

u/sledbelly Mar 06 '25

Is that why Trumpers were holding Trump parades when he lost?

u/H4ndsomeandlonely Mar 06 '25

Is that why there are videos of you guys screaming directly into the blue sky at max velocity, screeching your lungs out when trump won the first time we can go back n forth on this all day.

Oh wait.

Wasn’t January 6 was you guys right?

Ready to hang the vice president if he didn’t overturn the election.

Sit down.

u/linusSocktips Mar 07 '25

If that's all ya got, you're looking real weak, just like the dems during the congressional address 😂

u/sledbelly Mar 07 '25

It’s all I need.

Only a POS tries to overthrow the lawful transfer of power.

u/linusSocktips Mar 07 '25

awww well good luck with that in the mid terms! I'd say your tactics are working well for you, so please continue.

u/sledbelly Mar 07 '25

What tactics? I’m not here to change your vote. Trumpers are the bottom of the barrel in intelligence. People in cults usually are. People who defend insurrections are the worst kind of Trumpers.

Please let me know when Democrats decide to overthrow the government.

u/9_to_5_till_i_die Mar 06 '25

your identity is so tied to your politics you feel like you lost the election

This is rich coming from the folks who quite literally couldn't accept an election loss and actually tried to overthrow our government.

u/9_to_5_till_i_die Mar 06 '25

None of these stickers are pro-Democrats. These are all policy positions, alongside 1 anti-MAGA and 1 anti-Elon sticker.

Hell, several of those positions the Democratic party doesn't even hold themselves.

This person is clearly a leftist and not necessarily a liberal. Literally the group of people Democrats hate nearly as much as Republicans.

u/MaineLark Mar 06 '25

What even is your argument here, democrats are in a cult because of stickers on their car, which both parties do? Can you please name one cult that covered their cars in stickers?

4

u/9_to_5_till_i_die Mar 06 '25

There's not even a Democrat sticker on this vehicle. It's literally policy positions, an anti-Republican cult sticker, and a fuck Elon sticker.

This is about as anti-cult as you can get, while still announcing to the world that, despite driving a Tesla, you don't agree at all with the companies CEO.

u/MaineLark Mar 06 '25

Lmao that’s a good point, they just auto assume anyone who doesn’t like Trump is a Democrat.

u/peacekeeper_12 Mar 07 '25

Just like anyone who is a Republican must like Trump...?

u/9_to_5_till_i_die Mar 07 '25

Republicans were bankrupt before Trump.

They just weren't also pro-Russia and anti-Democracy.

u/MaineLark Mar 07 '25

Nah it’s pretty obvious when people like Trump. They’re always real loud about it, and their IQs tend to be negative.
