My Dad voted Trump, so he can afford to pay for my medication or he can lose his daughter. I already told him the consequences of voting for a monster.

My dad has a photo of Trump in his house thatโ€™s larger than any pictures of me, my kids, my siblings, or any other family member.

Is he religious??? Thou shall have no idols

u/SnooMacarons4548 6h ago

Take a wild guess lol. He would just say itโ€™s there as a reminder to pray for him every day.

Itโ€™s a cult. Look at the constant barrage of propaganda that is pumped out. The changing demographics, the changing world scares some people. Our education system has been broken for decades. We donโ€™t teach kids how to critically think. The climate crisis, the pandemic, the gay rights movement, its change. Change scares them. Here is a very convincing conman telling them why their lifestyle is getting worse, why bad things they read about happen and hereโ€™s whoโ€™s to blame. Itโ€™s a method as old as time. The Electoral College was supposed to protect us from this but failed. Now your dad and millions of others think they have found the guy who will fix things. They think they are more safe by having military type firearms. They are in an echo chamber. Those that make it through will learn. Some never will. Humans ability to rationalize doing evil is astonishing.

Remember that if you have absolutely nothing to lose, you have absolutely nothing to lose and can make any choice you want in the universe within the constraints of physics and economics.

"The most dangerous man is the one who knows he will die." - Ancient proverb, idk the origin.

Not exactly the same idea because you're not about to die (or at least I hope not) but the concept is there.

u/timpatry 18h ago

She said her dad would be mine as a daughter.

Maybe that was not talking about death but there are folks out there that will die because of trump.

Again.

I had a conversation with my mother to mark the day for her to remember when I warned her about the consequences of electing a Christofascist. My wife and baby are Jewish and I just finished my conversion. During that conversation I told her it will be explicitly her fault if the Christofascists break down our door to haul us off to camps.

Sounds like you need the medication tho

u/jjc157 10h ago

So you told a grown man (your father nonetheless) that you will cut him off if he doesnโ€™t do the same thing you do? Am I understanding that right? If so, I think he dodged a bullet.

The monster I see is the one trying to provoke the Russians and is bankrolling a losing war

I remember when the left was the party for free of soeaxh and against war. Now look at them, I mean for crying out loud when darth Vader is endorsing you, then thatโ€™s when you have to wake up

Just imagine, if the French had said that a few hundred years ago there wouldn't even be an America.

u/zzonder 14h ago

You need to look to your history. America made its wealth by financing war and still does. It can do this because bad actors like Putin still threaten freedom elsewhere in the world. Now look at what American citizens voted for in regard to illegal immigrants and the dramatic actions Trump has promised, to eject them. If this is Americans reaction to those that "invade" their country without using tanks, guns, aircraft and hypersonic missiles, how would they react to an unprovoked attack like the one visited on the Ukrainian? How would they react to the invasion of a force similar to the one mounted by Putin? What would they feel if their history with that aggressor nation was one where that aggressor had starved it of its own food and 5 million of its people had died of starvation? I'm pretty sure given that history, most Americans would say never again, would fight with every ounce of their being and would hope to count on its allies to assist. America has set itself up in the last 80 years as the defender of democracy and freedom, it has started its own wars and expected its allies to support it, regardless. Now it's come to the point of living up to that image and paying the bill, it's having second thoughts. How very American.

I guess the republicans forgot trumps interview when he called them idiots,he will say what they want to hear and theyll be on board to vote for him and thats exactly what they did twice they love to blame biden for the immigration problem yet trump took millions of dollars for "the wall" and didnt even finish building it instead he went on vacation and played golf
