I just picture someone with a legitimate ear injury having to go to Walmart and getting praised and followed around like Brian from "Life of Brian".

"No I'm not a Trump supporter, I just nicked my ear doing yard work! Stop following me! Go away! Leave me ALONE!"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was just about to reference the waving of a sandal from Life of Brian lol. These people in the picture are a few gourds short.

It also came to my mind.

Pop a vote blue sticker on it, confuse the lot of them.

The same people couldn't wear a face mask to save the lives of their relatives.

The level of projection when calling others sheep.

One of those things that always boggles my mind.

Edit not you that I'm replying to, but the people IRL that called people sheep.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't forget that some also wore yellow stars because apparently hygiene=genocide.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Well, it does, kinda, but not in the way they think it does.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The difference is they were told to wear a mask, which means they are standing up for their "rights" by not doing it.

The ear thing is to show how dedicated they are to the "cause," which is essentially opposition to what "the other side" is doing.

I haven't been keeping up with the news much, I know about Trump's ear but... Is the top image for real, are people actually doing this in the US?

You have to understand that these people are clinging to anything they can use to identify others who are in their in-group. MAGA hats, diapers, and now ear coverings.

Cults do the same thing and for the same reason.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

It’s the same virtue signaling they make fun of others for doing.

There was a movie in 2008, "the Wave" (German: die Welle) about a teacher who wants to show his class how easily it is to start fascism by just let everyone wear white shirts for school.

It's the symbolic items from the same tier or color to identify a group, which makes it dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

It's the stigmata of the anti-Christ

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I didn't think the MAGAs could find a stupider fashion accessory than those dumb, red hats but somehow, they found a way.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Life, uh, finds a way.

Trump wears a bandage, they follow.

Trump wears a diaper, crickets.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They actually wore diapers for a quick minute there.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They did?!

Well of course they fucking did.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I am sure someone shit themselves to really own the libs.

Trump should have had his mouth or nose shot down. This way, Republicans would have an excuse to wear masks, lol.

We are living in the dumbest timeline.

How to identify yourself as an idiot, step 1

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

There are many creatures in nature that warn others that they are toxic or dangerous by having bright colors, warning sounds or by wearing little red hats.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

That poor sheep did not have any choice. I cannot say the same about other characters in this picture.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Jesus this is so creepy and weird

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They want to be him. Like they are dreaming they are Trump?

Or I can't really imagine why they'd do it.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Imagine aspiring to be a fat, old, rapist, orange loser 😂

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But he's a rich(?) fat old rapist and orange loser.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is he even rich? He has more debt than money at this point.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I share your doubts regarding his financial wellbeing, which is why I included the question mark in braces. But the main point is that he's perceived as rich by those people.

Those real bandages? If so, what a waste of resources.

If a TV drama did this with a Presidential candidate who had a cult-like grip on his followers to the point that they wore the same bandage as him, critics would say it was too on-the-nose.

Mike Lindell should sell these as My Ear Pillow.

Hey, humans put those tags on sheep. Republicans do it to themselves.

I read on the poster "make America wrong again"... Sounds appropriate

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Ha. Who's the sheep now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The interesting thing about this to me is that they're doing it in solidarity with Trump and to draw attention to the assassination attempt, but 1) he wasn't really injured significantly, 2) the assassination attempt seems to not have had a political motive. So, there's not much to show solidarity for, and there's no enemy they're calling out.
