Bitch, you’ll be the cause of the next Great Depression..

u/Platonic_Eye_Deal 9h ago

And it's already too late to stop it no matter what happens.

u/Boudiccas_Ghost 9h ago

This is so true that I have started doomsday prepping. And I used to snicker at preppers!!! I'm not laughing now.

26

u/Platonic_Eye_Deal 9h ago

Yeah. I don't call it doomsday prepping, just prepping for the inevitable bad turn of events. And all kinds of things can be that.

21

u/uRedditMe 9h ago

Ive also started Doomsday prepping because good movies are the only positive thing to look forward to in these times.

Wait.. we're not talking about the Avengers?

u/dragonfliesloveme 9h ago

what do we do to prep? (serious quedtion)

13

u/Okra-Tomatoes 9h ago

The overlooked way is get to know your neighbors.

u/Noocawe 9h ago

Remember when the buck stopped at the President? Nowadays the buck stops anywhere but the President. The dude has never taken responsibility for anything negative in his life. And his supporters love it.

u/ProcedureRoutine4939 9h ago

Seriously they are so desperate to prop up AI because it’s the friggin next dot com bust.

At this point, if someone is supporting or applauding Don they’re not a good person. His track record shows he’s a habitually bad person and believes in making others suffer. There’s no respecting him, no applauding him, no admiring him, no emulating him; he’s the stain on the fabric of society.

Round 2 was definitely the final nail in the coffin of my regard for a sizeable chunk of my fellow “citizens.”

24

u/BrineJones 9h ago

They should be mocked and scorned for the rest of their miserable lives.

u/CU_09 9h ago

Definitely at a point where I will never hire anyone that I learn supported Trump. It shows such an unfathomable lack of judgement that I could never trust them to do anything important.

45

u/Platonic_Eye_Deal 9h ago

I will never have anything to do with any of them again in any capacity. Even the ones who used to be family.  They have proven that they are no such thing anymore.

26

u/BrineJones 9h ago

I have the largest chunk of an inheritance, and I was going to split it with my sister, but no fucking way. She is dead to me.

u/AntiHypeHero 9h ago

This 🎯

u/Agitated_Tip_8713 9h ago

I cut my father off because he is super MAGA. I just cant keep someone like that around my wife and kids, how the fuck can I leave someone with my kid who goes to the polls and votes for someome who says he wants to fuck his daughter and is protecting the epstein files? I just cant do it. 

24

u/privatebarnacles 9h ago

I had to do it to my step mom.. I married into an immigrant family and she had the audacity to bring up the wall when she met her family. My step mother raised me and I love her dearly, that is NOT the same woman from my childhood. Maga is a disease.

u/PoopingSauce 9h ago

Type 2 MAGAbetes.

u/laurgev 9h ago

At least we know who to avoid now

u/Apart-Rent5817 9h ago

Even some republicans currently running don’t want his endorsement.

u/dragonfliesloveme 9h ago

Pictures like the one above will someday (or now today for some of us) be viewed with horror and contempt, similar to the way pictures of hit ler and crowds are viewed now.

u/jharden10 /r/Atlanta 9h ago edited 7h ago

He does realize his party run both the federal government and state, right?

17

u/senscifi 9h ago

Shh he has no power besides absolute power it’s not his fault he’s just a smol pedobean :(

48

u/bryansj 10h ago

He has nothing to lose. He was supposed to be in prison, but we gave him the keys to the country instead.

u/RainKing614 9h ago

Four years ago when I'd drive through rural Georgia Id see a trump sigh every few miles... Not a one seen in the last year. Get fucked Donny.

23

u/Proximal13 9h ago

I'm in a deep red rural area in GA. The signs and bumper stockers are definitely on the decline. I have a few hold outs on my drive, but nothing like it used to be. I have right wing friends and family who don't even try to defend the economy anymore.

17

u/BrineJones 9h ago

Same here. Two days ago, I drove through rural Georgia from one blue oasis to another blue oasis, and did not see a single Trump sign, flag, etc..
Unfortunately, I did see Jackson signs, but what can you do? Peckerwoods are gonna peckerwood.

u/kilgoreq 10h ago

A great depression created by trump

15

u/citricacidx 9h ago

Many are saying the greatest depression.

58

u/dragonfliesloveme 9h ago

He never offers hope or answers, just a bunch of fear mongering and hate.

While he steals our tax dollars and helps out Putin, who wants to eliminate democracy in the West.Trump should be in prison.

11

u/santa_91 9h ago

Fear and hate are why his supporters love him.

11

u/Ok-Inevitable819 9h ago

That and the lead poisoning, brain damage, anti-intellectualism, chronic underfunding of public schools, and incessant propaganda 

25

u/kimchikimchiATL 9h ago

Yet another reminder for me to stand in line on Election Day to ensure my vote is cast.

19

u/DeadMoneyDrew 9h ago

Do early voting if you can!

12

u/rfkbr 9h ago

Go do early voting ffs. Why do people wait until election day? I really don't get it. I went day 1 of early voting.

u/MuggleRider 10h ago

Trump is the Great Depression

16

u/BigRigButters2 9h ago

You know what? I'm voting even harder for Ossoff now. How bout dat?

17

u/Devilofchaos108070 9h ago

If there is a depression it’s because Trump sent us down the path with his dumbass fucking tariffs and idiotic war with Iran.

Fuck Trump

13

u/reddit_1999 9h ago

Fun Fact - Trump is responsible for 11 TRILLION dollars of our national debt. EDIT - so far.

14

u/ToneOpposite9668 9h ago

I knew I smelled sulphur in the air yesterday

u/BigRigButters2 9h ago

You jest but no joke I smelled sulfur in the water where I was yesterday.

u/Status_Apartment6559 9h ago

Trump's attacks are always hyperbolic and mostly ludicrous if not outright obvious lies. The idea that Jon Ossoff is going to bring America into not just a Depression but a Great Depression is laughable and extreme and yet these MAGA allergic to critical thinking and or basic research eat it up no matter how much it smells like The Great Orange Rot.

u/JPAnalyst 9h ago

Gas is up, diesel is up, cost of living is up, the U.S. is running low on munitions, the measles are back after being eradicated, the White House Press Secretary lasted five days, we still haven’t seen all of the Epstein files, citizens are getting shot by government agents, legal citizens have been detained, we didn’t end the Russia Ukraine War on day one, we started a new war, we have alienated most of our allies, the % of people covered by health care has declined, the paint is peeling in the pool, there’s a new tainted food every other week, the Trump family is making billions from foreign investment, the president posts AI videos of himself dropping diarrhea from a plane on American citizens, homes are unaffordable now, the Kennedy Center is shut down, everyone fucking hates each other, and everyone hates America….and for what, so some trans girl in Iowa gets banned from her county cross-country championship?

u/ImightHaveMissed 9h ago

Okay, so He’s telling what he’s going to do for the next 2 years? Maybe we listen this time and do what we can to stop his orange ass

7

u/LeeOCD 9h ago

What a mess...and it keeps getting crazier.

6

u/sabedo 9h ago

I cut off family that voted for Trump. Anyone that supported him is beyond redemption

4

u/5h4y-lab 9h ago

The depression is already here y'all, stop letting this man piss on you and call it rain

5

u/Aloneinthere 9h ago

Constant lies from Trump. He knows no other way.

3

u/SpaceCampDropOut 9h ago

The fact that many people are there supporting their cult is terrifying.

6

u/Waltercation 9h ago

Well now I’m going to vote for Ossoff even harder.

3

u/allupinnit2winit 9h ago

Once again we are already living it with the current POSOTUS and he threatens exactly that if we turn blue. We are literally just witnessing a circus act these days with Trump and his constituents.

3

u/thatjacob 9h ago

I saw a Trump and Ossof sign next to each other in someone's yard on the way to work this morning. I'll never understand.

6

u/deafening_roar 9h ago

Jon Ossoff is everything Trump wishes he could be

4

u/ProcedureRoutine4939 9h ago

I hope someday there is so much shame that secret Nazis also hide their red hats next to their SS uniforms and KKK hoods.

3

u/Shannon556 9h ago

Yawn.

Trump is a washed-up Catskills insult comedian.

His material is old and stale.

This is his Elvis tour to soak up adoration from his few remaining fans.
