Obsolete Biden stickers! Lol I hope they have boxes of these dishonest attacks on a candidate who's not running anymore...

I work in a gas station, there is a MAGA regular who is constantly complaining about how broke she is, she buys 2 packs of unfiltered camels a day, that's $14.60 a pack, over $800 a month just for cigarettes cause she buys the most expensive packs in the store.

at those prices meth is cheaper.

Being serious here, but since I moved away from alcohol and started using LSD and MDMA I'm actually saving when going to party. A beer at the club have the same price that an LSD tab!

[–] noride@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point, I actually think the meth is more socially acceptable, too.

its not hard to get a prescription either. Insurance will pay for 60% of it.

Change watch to guns and you nailed it

In anglo Canada we have our own version of this that includes at least 1 oversized Canadian flag, at least 1 “FUCK 🍁 TRUDEAU” and 1 “FREEDOM” optionally also on flags or decals, something sloppily painted in white complaining about coronavirus mandates, and getting more common is something insulting Jagmeet Singh.

They have maga and Trump merch as well

It’s very confusing how they can fly a Maple Leaf and not know what country they’re in

My neighbor bought a new 64K truck (I know because he constantly mentions the cost) had a lift kit installed for 15K (I know because he constantly mentions the cost) has four kids who are bullies (I know because I see and hear them), and constantly complains about gas prices and property taxes, despite the fact that he is one of two houses in the neighborhood with kids.

Most of property taxes go to fund the public schools, which his children attend. Basically the neighborhood is subsidizing his children's education, but he thinks he deserves to pay less in taxes. I explained this, and he told me I was full of shit, but I think he knew I was right, because he started revving his engine early in the morning the day after that and did it for like two weeks.

Hilariously, he stopped doing it not because I complained -- I'm up early anyway -- but because his wife came out in pajamas and started screaming at him for waking her up. Quite the metaphor for Republicanism.

I gotta get out of this neighborhood.

I'd watch a Netflix series based on your life, but I'd be concerned that it would get cancelled without proper closure...

But you are so close to the action! Set up a camera and make a documentary!

Sounds like the family in the Intro of "Idiocracy"....

Tbf, those are symptoms of despair, in most cases, regardless of income.

[–] dubious@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I saw a lady apolozing to Trump for not donating because she had to pay her medical bills and was living in disability. So she was basically giving her disability check to Trump every month. 😖

I personally have pity for rank and file Republican voters.

They were simply easy marks our education system intentionally failed to teach critical thinking and reason to because obedient laborers don't need that, and were then spoonfed sensationalist lies that appealed to their fears and anxieties, the easiest avenues for indoctrination, for the last half century under the guise of being "news" for the private profit of private shareholders and to turn them into useful idiot dependable votes for those same private shareholders to effectively capture their regulators and government that was once meant to protect us from them.

As just one in an ocean of examples, Fox "News" has been telling these poor sad bastards that "man made climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books!"

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

That's not why.

They are taught that education is bad because the Bible teaches them everything they really need to know, and focusing on their weird version of 'Christianity'^tm makes them better than all those academic eggheads in their luxurious ivory towers while the people who actually run things make sure no help ever actually gets to them.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

So what you're saying is, you don't hate the fools, you pity them.

And now, in the most (mo)ironic twist ever, they are saying hurricane Helene was intentionally created to lower republican turnout in the election. No, seriously.

I've heard shit that it was moved by the left with weather control machines so they could clear out areas to mine lithium

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (10 children)

And all this with the dirt cheap gas prices in the US. In comparison to Europe, gas in the US is nearly free...

Okay the 70k lifted truck is valid. But I don't think maga people are out there buying 100k watches

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Recently Trump was selling $100K gold watches; I'm assuming it was mostly maga folks who bought them

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It was almost certainly a way to hide "donations" (bribes), from multimillionaires and billionaires, not random maga poor people

OK, substitute the NFTs and testosterone pills

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

How many magas can afford 100k watches?

Oil Industry Guy When Gas Prices Go Up: "Oh no! It costs so much money to drive my big truck and cool my enormous house and afford business class airplane tickets and now I can't afford my Carnival Cruise to Florida! This is the fault of the Evil Communist Green Party Democrats! Only Republicans can fix it!"

Oil Industry Guy When Gas Prices Go Down: "Oh shit! Oh fuck! I'm unemployed, broke, foreclosed on, and drowning in debt! This is the fault of the Evil Communist Green Party Democrats! Only Republicans can fix it!"

Oil Industry Guy When It's Time To Form A Union: "Fuck you, you fucking socialists. I don't need the government to do anything for me. I can pull myself up by my own bootstraps!"

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But during all those scenarios...RECORD PROFITS FOR OIL INDUSTRY
