You are absolutely correct. The left is just as guilty of tribalism as the right.

Nah. That's not true at all.

There are tons and tons of videos on social media of people literally praying to Trump.

We don't do shit like that.

Remember they are devout republicans.

There is a lot of truth to it. Just criticize or bring up one of the many objectively bad things Biden has done and then wait for the Blue MAGA individuals to come out of the woodwork telling you he's "the most progressive president in modern history" and that he deserves our unwavering support just because he has a (D) next to his name.

I'm sure a lot of this is rooted in fear around him losing the election, but these people have their heads buried in the sand and can't see that the Democrats are handing the election to Trump just like they did in 2016 because they'd rather maintain the status quo and push right wing candidates like Clinton and Biden than help the American people by allowing a real progressive into the office.

There's a huge difference between saying someone is doing good, and literally praying to them in their absence. Like, have you seen the videos of people filming themselves praying to Donald trump to free them of ? They exist.

Because the left is always wearing Biden branded clothing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

THE LEFT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WEARING BIDEN BRANDED CLOTHING THAT IS NOT THE LEFT BIDEN IS NOT LEFT FUCK

Edit: I am sorry for yelling but seriously the left starts at anticapitalism. Biden is just another right wing ghoul

I know. That was the point of my comment. Chill bro, it's ok.

Apologies, I am terrible at detecting sarcasm when I am sober and I was very not sober

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

All good man, no worries

The left used their brain and all come to the conclusion that Trump is a shitty person all on their own, they didn't get their words from Fox News or their Republican cult leader

Classic sheep behavior. Always thinking for themselves
