[–] manxu@piefed.social 66 points 4 months ago (2 children) Not just American ones. We didn't vote for the man who started the war, and we still have to pay more for everything. Must be the way Californians and New Yorkers feel in America, I guess. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 31 points 4 months ago* (3 children) Yes. Even the gentle and kind people here in California are full of anger and hatred at this point. You should hear what these MAGA people say about the situation. My most memorable remark came from a relative I have in Idaho, who told me that she understood how hard it is for people like me (who oppose Trump), because she herself (a perpetually "persecuted" white Christian MAGA voter) lived through Obama's two terms. That's how these amoral assholes see things. Delusion doesn't even begin to explain what's going on in this country to the red hatted lunatics. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] manxu@piefed.social 11 points 4 months ago (2 children) To be fair to her, there was the War on Christmas, fought by replacing Santa on coffee cups with just red color. 🤣 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] nolannice@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago Please don't downplay the war on Christmas.

If you resisted, you were made to work to death in an LGBTQ boutique book store.

It's so wild how they think about Obama and Biden. No cons or xtians were targeted for anything. But they act like they were really put upon in those years. For what, I have no idea. They never seem to be able to articulate it. They seem very incensed at Obama for reasons, LOL. Biden probably only really gets their ire because their orange jesus was beaten by a guy that was supposedly staying in his basement. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago (1 child) This Texan didn't vote for the child rapist warmonger either.
