I forget what they're pissed about. Are they pissed the country isn't led by a rich man that has the world's richest man backing him and given the ok to do anything he wants by the supreme court?

They're all just highly manipulable people. They aren't necessarily stupid, and may be ambitious and even successful. But here's why they're so manipulable: at their core, they're just not very smart.
There's this sort of very American idea that appeals to people who aren't very smart and it appears to have been indulged in since the country was founded. It's passed down from parents to their children, it's pervasive - and if you're American, you will recognize it because you will have seen it firsthand - quite a lot. In a nutshell it works like this:
a) I am fucking awesome
b) Everyone else are idiots, to greater or lesser degrees
c) The world is not that complicated
d) All you need is a work ethic and common sense
To people informed by this American sort of ideal, anyone who deals in nuance or shades of grey is simply one of the aforementioned idiots who is trying to hide their own lack of work ethic and/or common sense by making the world seem more complicated than it is.
The problem is, they are living in a fantasy world that doesn't really exist, because:
a) they are not really that awesome
b) nearly everyone else is smarter than they are
c) the world is incredibly complicated
d) sometimes a work ethic and common sense is worthless
Living in a fantasy world has an exhausting effect because the real world continues to exist and is the way it is without regard to your fantasy - which is incredibly frustrating for them. This frustration is what makes them so manipulable. Literally anyone who comes along and tells them they have it right is in possession of a key that will unlock these people in a very dramatic fashion.
They will give away everything they own, give over their entire existence, pledge fealty - their devotion will know nearly no bounds. The practical upshot of this is shitheels who post "FUCK BIDEN" on their truck and listen 24/7 to any media that tells them they are right about the world. They are just so dead tired of the real world constantly reminding them of how wrong they are - because they are.
That’s a pretty good analysis. But it’s missing a huge component. It’s missing The Jesus.
Some magical authority that can never be questioned without consequence and can be interpreted in any way authority sees fit. It’s chaotic evil in the guise of a sweet fairy tale where we all get presents and go to heaven (except some of us but don’t think about it).
Absolutely 100%. Being raised to be credulous enough to believe in literal Harry Potter levels of magical thinking without the slightest hint of self-reflection is another huge contributing factor to them being so manipulable.
When you already unironically believe in magic, it's easy to believe in and act on things that the rest of us can only drop our jaws and stare at in disbelief.
Never trust a Christian
what the hell is wrong with that font? I'd ask the driver if he wasn't obviously brain damaged
i thought was funny too, the "we the people" is propably meant to be the original Font of the constitution of usa but the "are pissed" is in german old timy Fraktur.
Wow, me and this angry political weirdo has something in common. We're both not going to vote for Biden
Politics makes for strange bedfellows
Always funny when the petite bourgeoisie cosplays democracy - ”We, The People...
Saw this at Costco yesterday and rolled my eyes. Some late 40s lady popped out. Fake tan and everything, I had a laugh
They've been doing it since 1776, why stop now?
He might just be lazy.
"We"?
When a child decorates their manly truck.
I believe that's called an emotional support vehicle.
How dare you insinuate his tiny penis is being somehow compensated for here!
Well that's it, I'm not voting for Biden either now!
I'm not voting for Kamala either.
I do wish you luck from behind the pond though.
What's really depressing to me though, is that even with BIden's highly evident cognitive dysfunction, 49% of this country would still vote for him if he were the candidate.
The same is true for Trump supporters, who are still voting for someone in evident cognitive decline, but that just makes things more depressing, not less.
It would be difficult to find a candidate I wouldn’t vote for against Trump.
I would vote for ham sandwich over Trump.
One will kill my family and friends because of their skin color, gender, or orientation.
The other will I dunno, clog my arteries?
Exactly. They can make you do anything.
I get that.
It just doesn't make me feel any better watching an opposition party get elected when they don't actually oppose anything. (apart from keeping Greens off the ballot.)
The green party keeps the green party off the ballot, Jill is paid by Russia, never goes for local positions to build a grassroot movement. Just wants to get trump in the Whitehouse.
I see that Joe Biden isn't the only Democrat that's cognitively impaired.
Thanks for your opinion.
I love seeing all the signs of people who poured their money into anti-biden merch and now they're either too broke or it's too late to change it. I was at Spirit Halloween the other day and saw giant Trump and Biden masks, but no Kamala masks. You just know someone was stuck with a fuckton of now useless inventory.
Well I mean he is still president.
Political merch in general is just absolute cringe. I find US politics completely insane.
Angry weirdo with a willfully low IQ showing that reality doesn't even matter to him anymore, stubbornly lazy and ignorant, insists on throwing a blunt destructive and self-destructive tantrum.
This is the equivalent of smearing himself in one's his feces, then probably wondering why so many avoid him like the plague.
He's right cunt
I guess I'm not part of the people since I'm not pissed, just depressed.
Reminded that early voting is on. Go out and vote. Don't vote for Biden nor Trump!😉😉..
Write in Biden on the ballot anyways, take a picture, print it out and leave it on his windshield like an advertisement for him to rage at, then fill the entire flatbed with Dark Brandon merch, record his reaction, and send it to him later so he'll know what a grown toddler having an eternal temper tantrum looks like. Create a Truth Social account and upload it to there for extra credit.
I wonder if they can articulate a single verifiable reason why they're pissed at Biden.
