MODERATORS
I was at a skating rink this weekend. It was full of families bringing their kids so their kids could have fun. Even some kids birthday parties.
Oh, and the dad wearing an anti-Biden shirt. While hanging out and skating with his kid.
Priorities.
I mean, did wearing the shirt stop him from doing that?
I think you're missing the point that it doesn't really fit the environment he was in. It says a lot about how much free rent a politician seems to have in his head, when he's likely never met said politician, likely has nothing directly to do with said politician, and was also displaying it in an area where I'm fairly sure the majority already agree with him (knowing this region).
It's just a weird topic to flex in THAT specific environment.
Meh, I interpret it as someone buying a shirt, then just wearing it randomly whenever they grab it from their drawer
What a loser
Yea, and I extend that to all Politics. I don’t want to see anti-Trump shirts, I don’t really want to see pro Trump or pro Biden. Politicians aren’t sports teams. Save it for rallies, and what not. Just tired of seeing it.
Yeah agreed. It's so weird to make politics or politicians part of your identity like this and extend it to totally hnrelated situstions by wearing a message. I already barely understand when people do it for sports as if they personally have any connection to the team.
People do it for the community. The right wing has done it because they’ve been more or less pushed out of normal culture because of how awful they’ve become. Same reason conspiracy theorists stick together. At least with sports there’s a winner and loser and it mostly can’t be disputed or ignored.
The don’t talk about politics and religion at dinner thing is very true. No one wants to leave their house and be miserable.
Really owned the libs xd
Being anti-Biden is literally giving priority to human lives. If palestinian lives matter, I mean.
Edit: if palestinian, afghan, yemeni, russian and ukrainian lives matter.
Yeah we gotta get Trump into office, he'll be MUCH better prioritizing human lives
Didn't say that. I think u americans are fucked up anyways.
