Dude I WISH Democrats were Marxist. Why do they always make Democrats seem better than they are.
Because while liberals have a vague, uselessly imprecise understanding of what some unimportant words mean, like liberal and socialist, the conservative base holds knowing things in active contempt and the leadership likes to keep them that way.
Grandpa was crying about losing his workforce at the factory due to border laws.
Oh sorry did the consequences of your vote come sooner than you thought?
Dumb cunt
“I didn’t think stopping immigration and deporting immigrants would mean not getting more immigrants to work and deporting MY workforce!”
The fact that they think the modern Democratic Party is Marxist is crazy
Their entire echo chamber is paid to say that over and over and over so it just becomes reality to them. I explained to a coworker that basically anyone that even slightly understands Marxism hears the right say that nonsense and it sounds like if I were to say “Donald Trump is a vegan organic farmer.”
It’s the same category as “woke” like this book:
Hallmark of brainwashing. Bypass critical thinking with vague statements of the outsiders “evil”, but keeps followers from actually thinking about what they are saying with those statements.
Oh yeah! Well then how do you explain that the transmission is working in kahoots with this engine! /s
It’s the “trans” mission.
Mission = agenda… have we just uncovered the tRaNs aGeNdA we keep hearing about‽ 😱
Damn trannies, ruining women’s sports (that I don’t watch anyway). How would you like it if a female you knew had to use a bathroom with a …. Woman?
That’s why I like electric vehicles: no damn trannies. Gasoline engines are so woke! Wait ……
/s
And the whole engine is powered by terrorism.
I looked it up and see, “Marxism is an economic and political theory that examines the flaws inherent in capitalism. It’s primarily based on the work of German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. 1. Marxist theories were influential in the development of socialism, which advocates for the shared ownership of the means of production by workers”
… That sounds like it aligns with how I see it. I like to examine the flaws in capitalism and I don’t think that we, as a group, are benefitting from once CEO per company making an ass load of money via greed. Am I Marxist or no?
Don’t confuse “post-Marxist understanding” with “being a Marxist.”
Marx defined and described an ontology that even his opponents use as tools to describe the economy - but it wouldn’t make sense to call opponents of Marx as ‘Marxists’ would it?
Just examining flaws in and of itself isn’t socialism, although arguably saying capitalism has no flaws is pro-capitalist.
Instead of checking a dictionary, do you want to ask actual Marixists what they think of the Democratic Party? You can find plenty of them around here. They tend not to have anything nice to say about the Democrats, and would be insulted at the comparison.
The down votes indicate that. I’m not really understanding so I’m ready to just accept the hate and move on. 🤷
You have to pass the right gatekeepers to be Marxist because if there’s one thing Marxists don’t want is people on their side who don’t necessarily agree with 100% of every economic idea from one dude a century ago… Apparently
It’s because it’s very reductive and weird to look at this one-line definition and ask if you’re a Marxist. You’re not automatically Christian just because you like giving to the poor and you saw on Wikipedia that Christianity gives to the poor, there’s a lot more to it. You’re a Marxist if you look up Marx’s theory and decide you agree with all (maybe most) of it. There’s a spectrum greater than not liking CEOs making money before asking if you’re a Marxist, a Communist, or just a Libertarian.
Don’t let that stop you if you want to learn more about it to see if you still like it.
Do you want to abolish capital, corporations and private property?
I’m starting to like those ideas… don’t threaten me with a good time. (Can’t be worse than the global oligarchy we currently have).
I believe a limit on capital may better serve the citizens, or maybe a markup maximum? Maybe not having 30% APR as an allowable finance charge.
Or maybe when you reach $1B we take away all your money, maybe name a park after you, and put a little gold star on your ID and license plate so everyone can know you’re on New Game+ and are super good at capitalism. Then they can show everyone how it’s done by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and proving they got rich through hard work and talent rather than luck and exploitation.
They win a golden McDonald’s card?
They’re talking about the modern Democratic Party, not you personally.
I wish Democrats were as cool as conservatives think they are.
“At least democrats are openly evil marxist traitors”
Mother fucker, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS CRAP!! un-fucking-believable!
And it’s not even fucking true! There’s nothing Marxist about the Democrats except for the far right propaganda against them!
The democrats could literally have the exact same platform as the GOP and these brainlets would still think they were “commies trying to destroy muh free rights and guns”. Whats funny is that the Dems arent even too far off from that.
I honestly believe someone could run as a Republican on the whole “it was better back then” train utilizing most of the Republican official platforms from the 1960-1970s. It’s pretty damned close to the basics the Dems have been talking about and not accomplishing because of obstructionism.
It’s clear with modern Rs you don’t even need to explain anything, just say you’re going back to the good old days when the US was powerful, etc. and hijack the current bullshit machine. Then push through the actual platform of the time, with receipts. Force them to face the fact their party has been hijacked.
Shit the democrats could run the exact same platform that the GOP is accusing them of and their voter turnout would explode! If Biden was as based as the GOP wants you tell you he is I would have had no problem voting for him again. The deep state cabal sounds like some cool folks that can get shit done.
Mother fucker, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS CRAP!! un-fucking-believable!
Hahaha but that’s when they say “oh he was just trolling” or “wow, you liberals can’t even tell he was joking!”
I thought the whole point was that the dems are liars and the reps just openly say “how it is”. Nothing changed, MAGA did not change their rhetoric. I’d really like to know what goes on in their heads.

That GIF is honestly too flattering. More like a child curled up in the fetal position, quivering like leaf, holding a loaded gun, sweating profusely, thinking everything from a housefly to a mote of dust is a’ginnim
Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.
Bush Jr was really something else. 😂
Yeah, but remember when we thought you couldn’t get any worse than him?
To be fair he put down the seeds of trumpiness.
Those seeds were sewn much earlier. Jr. was fertilizer.
True, maybe he sang to them a bit. Hypothesis: the seeds of fascism will grow faster if you play them country music vs a control set.
Mission Accomplished
Well, that’s what you get with good strategery.
They misunderestimated me.
love me some isms, comedy gold
“I got swindled by a shyster with a decades long track record, twice in a row! How did that happen?”
It’s almost as if Trump is a symptom and not the cause of the MAGA movement.
“Does he still have your vote?”
“Yes.”
“he literally is going to enrich himself at our expense and do nothing to help you. Nothing but lies to get elected.”
“I mean sure, he’ll throw us all under the bus for a buck, but I can’t vote for the Demonrats they kill babies to make the bindings for Das Capital, they facefuck Santa Claus, and they just legalized beating white Christian men with discarded genitalia from gender surgery for the sin of being conservative. It’s mandatory in Commifornia now. Don’t you even pay attention to Reality™©®!? Sean Hannity said so which means it’s 100% TRUE! It’s like all you do is watch biased media! Sean Hannity says that we conservatives need to work together to get Republicans in office so obviously he’s not biased, he’s one of us!”
Openly evil Marxist traitors.
As opposed to the guys doing a bait and switch right? No betrayal there…
I have spoken to a voter of Trump who formerly was in my circle. I honestly asked her what the reason was. Her answer?
“I just don’t like the other party.”
That was it. Now I imagine besides the obvious cultists, that people treated the general elections like as if we’re voting on two sports teams, that people had that same exact reason. “Oh I just don’t like that other party” all while having the blankest of stares, the breeze between their ears and the stoic walk of automated activity as they confidently and blindly voted for the wrong party.
She was sugarcoating her bigotry and here you are questioning everything
“my mind generates words to say that make me win every encounter”
“I must fully understand psychology for it is impossible for others to be wrong – perhaps it’s my understanding of the cosmos. Perhaps they are victims of a grand campaign of misinformation. Nobody would disagree if we had the same facts, right? I must retreat to my haven in the mountains and meditate of mankind.”
Some people hide it? Duhhhhhh.
People are primarily driven by emotion. Some people almost exclusively so.
You can’t really convince people of things with facts and figures. That’s like trying to heat your bedroom by making a bonfire down the street.
We’re all emotional, and all of us sometimes follow our feelings over more rational motivations. But a lot of people are pretty much all emotion, and they vote for bad policy.
People are primarily driven by emotion
Some people are driven by emotion, some driven by facts and logic. The balance has shifted to the “poorly educated” who are helpless against Putin’s psyops and Republican manipulation - “They are eating the cats”, indeed.
I think it’s important to recognize none of us are immune to emotion. We’re not Vulcans. Some people are a little better about keeping them in balance, but even that depends on factors like “did you get enough sleep?” and “do you feel secure and safe?”
If you stress anyone out long enough they’re going to become more emotional driven and less coolly rational.
Even Vulcans can be emotional depending upon their health and other circumstances. Vulcans still have emotions, they’ve simply learned to keep them in check (pretty effectively most of the time).
The human race can do this too, but we’re nowhere near ready.
Emotions are important to a full inner life, but letting them decide how you behave is a sign of immaturity.
How did the conversation actually go? Because my immediate question would have been “why was that your deciding factor?”
This small vocal fraction of MAGA on social media is so insignificant and irrelevant to most of the people who voted for Trump. There’s absolutely no chance my dumbass aunt is aware of any of this.
This is the perfect opportunity. MAGAs have been betrayed by their leader, and their leader (Musk) is inviting dozens of scabs from other countries to do what would otherwise be high paying jobs for peanuts.
We can turn the Left Vs. Right Dichotomy into a Rich Vs. Poor one. Much better odds
The people at fox “news” won’t do that, they’re the rich and paid by other rich people, and the MAGA masses are too brainwashed by them to listen to anyone else
The convince them that Faux Noise is bad, but word it in a way they’ll listen that doesn’t just sound like “Lib whining” or “Nerd shit”
I’m curious what Trump lie led to this
The possibilities are endless!
The ouster of Bob Good and the H1-B visa controversy, I think.
I’m guessing probally the reverse inflation / food prices lie, it’s the only one I ever see bitched about, but yes there are many
