This can’t be real. What a fucking loser.

Wait, is he serious? I thought for sure this sign was satire...

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 17 points 5 months ago

Idk. I am having a hard time distinguishing satire from reality lately. The right wing is just a bit unbalanced.

Supposedly as he held the sign he yelled this: "Look at what they've done to your son God!"

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So it was satire. Nicely done.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure about that. It's likely, but then again, some Trump supporters are also Q supporters, and I wouldnt put it past them to do some unhinged stuff like that

Edit: it's Jake Byrd a comedian that works for Kimmel

These are the people who are now, seemingly unironically, wearing diapers to rallies.

Because Trump wears diapers, and libs made fun of this, so ... if they wear diapers its ... owning the libs?

...

I have a degree in poli sci.

While at a larger level I can understand how a society slips into fascism, at the granular level, I stopped attempting to understand the individual seemingly constant state of delusional psychosis caused by the amount of cognitive dissonance needed for half of what these morons do.

For me that moment came 3 years ago when I attempted to convince my dad that no, no Tom Hanks is not a pedophile satanist who is part of a grand conspiracy.

It didn't work.

Would be hilarious if this sub made a bunch of edits of this.

They started wearing diapers to prove that Trump is a big strong man, at this point I'll believe anything.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 4 points 5 months ago

this is not reported as fact by any legitimate media outlet i can find and the images purporting to feature Trump wearing diapers were faked.

careful what you post and upvote just because it matches your perspective, else we end up no better than the “they’re putting litter boxes in the schools” crowd.

It isn't. He was there doing a bit for Jimmy Kimmel.
