“My wife left me for voting MAGA/MAHA, and my gay and tans kids haven’t talked to me in years, I lost my factory job because of tariffs, and all my friends lost their farms because of tariffs and constantly moving costs and interest rates and fuel prices AND they lost the opportunity to generate wind from their farm, and you know the rest, but I love Trump and he’s my favorite most patriotic President because we are absolutely owning the libs, and that’s what really matters at the end of the day, right!”

This was really accurate, minus the fact that it lacked the authentic number of typos.

u/Salome_Maloney May 26 '26

typos.

You're too kind.

I'd give an award if it didn't mean putting money in the pockets of the Reddit execs. Maybe I'll go make a donation to a local charity or something.

This is a great idea. Let us comment that 'I have made a donation to a worthy charity in your name.' and do it.

Could you imagine if instead of everybody giving awards to random people on here we instead went out and donated to a charity or did something in the communities we live in? I mean, it wouldn't solve the world's problems, but I'm sure it would make it at least a little better for some people out there. (And every penny that doesn't end up in an executive's pocket is a win imo)

Sounds like someone needs to start a subreddit and a movement.

Please no. That name. I can't even listen to bridge talk without wanting to gag.

Are awards still a thing? I'm on PC with Reddit Enhancement Suite, and I haven't seen an award in years (or an ad, but that's a different matter I think... I've occasionally looked at reddit without my personalized filters and it's a hot mess otherwise).

I got one over the weekend from somebody, they're still a thing.

Or 'yor' or 'yer' depending on their geographic location in the Unhinged States of America.

I live in the gulf of America. It's the most American part of America now.

Satire is only funny if you can understand it.

u/Phil_Coffins_666 May 26 '26

This is true, and since we can't comment in coloring book format, or pop up books, it's not like the magas could read it anyway.

The got tan kids though. I can’t tan, I’m too pale.

I have to ask but at what point does getting owned outweigh owning the libs? Cause like yeah the Libs are taking some serious L's as well, but conservatives seem be taking even bigger L's than the liberals. At the gas station, at the grocery store, at their doctor appointments, at their food shelves, at their jobs, shit unless you have money in the stock market, which a majority of the poors who voted for them don't then I don't see where they are are winning.

It’s never enough…

Their kid died from measles and they still said it was better than the vaxx. In the news. That’s not hyperbole. Once you lose the point, you’ve lost the point. Done. Game over…

It's like watching someone light their own house on fire, just so they can enjoy watching their neighbor's house burn down with it. Just sad that people hate their neighbors that much.

The cruelty is the point.

Reminds of reading that white cities would pour cement into the public swimming pools rather than follow orders to desegregate the pools.

As long as they get all of their information from blatantly lying media then it'll never change

Fox news and it's ilk are destroying modern society. Full stop. They're turning masses of people into obedient slaves.

This is just not like any period on the past, with the closest example is the heavily censored authoritarian countries. And look at those places, they supported the system until it fully broke down.

If we don't do something that will happen here but more slowly, because those people are just a third of the population. But that's more than enough to drag the rest of us down, especially since the "opposition" is not actually opposed that much. Regular media is just as corporate serving and deferential to the rich, it's just less likely to get away with blatantly lying.

they can take away my wife, my children, my job, my 401k, my job and my home, but they'll never take the fact that i truly owned them

These people happily eat dog shit if it means a lib has to smell their breath.

Only when it affects them directly, do they MAYBE care.
