Also they ordered it for the whole restaurant and assumed all the turds would be in other people’s bowls.
As a non-American, it’s like sitting in a regular restaurant trying to have lunch but the entire place stinks like shit from the Turd Soup Restaurant down the street.
And that turd soup restaurant sends unsolicited free samples to Venezuelan and Iranian restaurants in the neighborhood and the people working at the Iranian restaurant see it and throw up all over a narrow section of sidewalk that’s the only way in and out of the area.
Then they wrote a review: “Turds in my soup! I was told they would only be in brown people’s soup! Please do something about this! This is still my favorite restaurant though, would definitely visit again.”
mmmm, turds 🤤
“I mean, I know I’m brown, but it’s supposed to be in the other brown people’s soup.”
Oh yeah, that too. “But I voted Republican for years and always pointed at people poorer & browner than me! You can’t deport me!”
Very well put.
…icky, too. 😜
And then looked at the rest of us shocked about the turds and asked us why sleepy Joe made us all collectively do it.
I love watching people get what they deserve. But I worry we’ve created a world where its not possible to change your stance on something or admit you were wrong. Like something from the Art of War that says you shouldn’t surround your enemy completely or they will fight harder since escape isn’t an option. Even if you don’t intend for them to escape, merely thinking they can wont cause them to fight as hard.
They don’t want to escape, though.
They’re in a prison of their own design.
also they are only admitting they were wrong, after they get fucked by the hate policies they thought were only going to be used against brown people.
and they expect to be treated like the actual victims of those policies, and receive care, and concern, and comfort, and support, about the egregious wrongs they suffered, just like they’ve seen the actual victims of these policies get time and time again.
and they don’t get it, because they are the stupid cunts that supported all that shit, voted for all that shit, and still’d be fighting for all that shit if it hadnt suddenly affected them.
Ok thats super fair and I didn’t consider. Like people who wanted ICE until their wife got deported.
It just sucks cuz I’m sure there are decent people who are only conservative and vote that way cuz their parents did and that’s how it’s always been for them. Kind of like religion.
No. That ship sailed 10 years ago. It’s impossible for any good people to still call themselves Republican.
its also the fact that they pretend that they are good, decent, moral, godly people, while literally bending over the able and buttering up their butt holes for people who do the exact opposite that their precious bible says.
Theres a lot of reasons why people are tired of hypocritical republican faux-victims and their constant whinging and demands for support and sympathy.
I’ll say: it really seems like that call is coming from inside the house. Lots of former conservatives can get by in leftist spaces by just not being a conservative when asked about their opinions. If you can laugh at who you used to be you can absolutely be a reformed conservative. Maybe you have to be a few years removed from who you used to be but I’ve seen it, I know people who have gone through exactly that and they’re as left as anyone now. Mostly because being a leftist means engaging with and being in the normal world.
But if you’re in a conservative environment even the smallest dissent can be seen as fully treasonous. It spirals into hysteria and we see how conservatives have to live in an alternate reality to stay in the in-group.
I worry we’ve created a world where its not possible to change your stance on something or admit you were wrong.
Are you kidding? It is comically easy to just change sides, announce you have always believed everything about the side your own, and begin heckling the people on the original side by calling them idiots and assholes. Just roll up another account. Or be Tucker Carlson.
Nobody will care, so long as your caustic remarks and smug self-aggrandizement and self-pitying doomerism jerks your audience off the right way.
Like something from the Art of War that says you shouldn’t surround your enemy completely or they will fight harder since escape isn’t an option.
The problem isn’t that Liberals have somehow backed Conservatives into a corner. The problem is that Conservatives effectively make up a Liberal to be afraid of and regularly sell their voter base on being terrified of the Dark Brandon Ultra-Left Anarcho-Chinese Muslim Tankie hiding behind the milquetoast corporate centrist who agrees with them on 90% of public policy.
When you’ve built a fantasy world for your voters to live in, the best way to keep them there is to tell a bunch of horror stories about what’s outside the echo chamber.
Im not saying liberals have literally backed maga into a corner with no escape. It was just an analogy.
And are you kidding? Are you seeing maga declare themselves liberal in droves? There’s supposed to be a “blue wave” coming for midterms so I guess we’ll wait and see. But if there is a blue wave id think it’s because maga are upset and not going out to support trump, not that they’ve all become liberals.
Im not saying liberals have literally backed maga into a corner with no escape.
I agree. If anything, they’ve done the opposite. The MAGA crowd has received every out, second chance, and pardon legally possible.
Are you seeing maga declare themselves liberal in droves?
Plenty of #NeverTrump Republicans have been piling in to the Liberal Party for over a decade. Then they show up and complain that the party has too many liberals in it.
But if there is a blue wave id think it’s because maga are upset and not going out to support trump, not that they’ve all become liberals.
Years when Trump isn’t on the ballot tend to see depressed GOP turnout.
But they are not admitting they where wrong… They are complaining Trump didn’t deliver them the riches they where promised.
They are still bigoted assholes.
There are definitely those people, along with ones who were actively harmed by Trump when they thought he would only hurt minorities or whatever.
But I think there’s people out there who only vote R cuz their parents do and they’re in a small conservative town in the country.
If people flip from R to D its like a x2 effect. Not only are R’s getting less votes but D’s are getting more. Idk. Maybe everyone is already set in their ways or will switch on their own eventually.
I mean yeah but the dude rapes children so he needs to be in prison. The ideal answer would have been for his parents to have raised him better but that ship sailed a long time ago.
Art of War is a little inapplicable here because in that book, there’s an assumption the enemy isn’t out to destroy the whole world, but trump really has no qualms about destroying everything if that’s what it takes for him to keep his freedom despite his horrific crimes.
This, unfortunately, is the Truth of the situation.
He also said once committed to an act there is no turning back.
Yeah… for the most part they just double down. You can point out the war in Iran that they supposedly didn’t want, the deficits they supposedly wanted to reduce, the prices that they thought would go down with tariffs somehow, and they will just say that doesn’t matter because the Democrats were going to turn their boys into girls.
Colbert doesnt speak to Mexicans confirmed. Seems like he sticks to English speaking people. I am surrounded by non english speakers as a half filipino. I know so many mexicans that love trump. I dont believe Colbert sympathizes with them either but I fear thats out of ignorance. I dont like it when people speak like Colbert did here because it lacks necessary nuance but im unaware of the context here, but if this is colberts most nuanced and real take then I pity him the same I pity the working class Filipino and Mexican and Black and all other kinds of Americans that voted for Trump. Its the same ignorance, but supposedly Colbert should know a bit more about empathy with propaganda on the poor persons mind.
The analogy is a little too nice though, maybe. It’d be more accurate to say they placed an order for “the turd soup that kills brown people, Muslims, and trans people, when I eat it” – and when they noticed their targets weren’t totally annihilated, they asked for a 2nd helping.
Pretty sure they assumed they wouldn’t be eating it when they ordered it, they figured they were ordering it for the people that liked things they didn’t like
They walked around mask off to catch covid to prove their loyalty. They’ll eat shit and smile about it.
It’s actually so insane how much of a cult it is, I have long covid and live with maga people who DAILY see me be in bed for 16 hours and barely able to do things while not in bed, and STILL say “covid was just the flu and overblown.” I have no explanation besides they’re just too bought in at this point.
Why do you all forget women? It’s half the fucking population!
Half his voters were women.
no actually they ordered the soup, that also kills thier own as well, and then come back later for more, because it also kills the “other people”
They’d drink the Kool Aid, wouldn’t they?
is there any political decision made by trump that killed bown muslim and trans ?

I’m don’t know that the people who died from cholera thought turds were super beneficial, but it still killed them.
Who knew when you put a turd in something you need to survive, it will get you sick and kill you. Totally nothing like our current government.
He’s got the Meirdas Touch.
He’s more of a toxic waste soup.
Sadly not the version that give you super powers :(
His legal invulnerability possibly counts.
That is just called being rich. Not a super power
Tell that to Batman.
Batmans Superpower are the Tibetan Monk techniques
And they’ll all just say it’s the Democrats’ fault, then bring in another red wave this November.
they will eat trumps turd specifically, its mostly diarrhea since h never had a normal bowel movement due to drug abuse.
Do keep in mind that Trump still enjoys something like 90+% approval among Republicans. Some people remain convinced that they like turd soup.
Hasnt he lost completely mexican male voters and young male voters?
Hahahaha, no. Two thirds of Latino Trymp voters still approve.
it’s dipped these days to “only” 81-82%. Which is a big drop, but still way too damn high. Propoganda is crazy.
The supposed “independents” are where his numbers truly cratered. Basically drove his entire approval rating since Democratic approval started at like… 6%.
Real men eat turd soup.
Stop blaming the people, people went to the restaurant and they only had turd soup.
The restaurant had turd soup and stale bread. The people who like bread saw it was stale so they left, and everyone remaining ordered the turd soup.
It’s the people’s fault for not selecting the low-sodium turd soup.
They’re both bad, but I would absolutely rather have piss soup than turd soup (to use the analogy here)
Just because both sides are bad doesn’t mean one side isn’t significantly, exponentially worse.
“Man dies of eating nothing but piss soup repeatedly.”
Frederick Douglas was an escaped slave who fought for Abolition.
Back in 1860 he had a choice. He could back the Abolition candidate, who was almost certain to lose, or to back Abe Lincoln. Lincoln had said that saving the Union was more important then ending slavery.
Douglas decided it was smarter to help Lincoln win and get a seat at the table, than to lose and be shut out.
Did I mention that Douglas had actually been a slave?
Some people didn’t care about turd soup in restaurants because the have the third option to cook for themselves. That’s one of the reasons, the rest still has to eat turd soup.
It’s like you don’t understand how elections work.
The person who wins the election is in charge.
Unless you are rich enough to go hide out off the grid, you’re eating the turd soup.
What I’m fucking sick of is having to eat this turd soup even though I don’t even live in that shithole country. If the U.S. must leak their turd soup all over the world, then the rest of the world should get to vote as well.
Well, maybe you’ll be lucky and Putin will make Russia the most powerful country.
Right, one despot for another. Would you like some bubonic plague, or would you prefer cholera?
If you don’t like the options, no one is forcing you to stay…
Just kidding, you have to stay, don’t you?
Are you advocating suicide? That’s rather bold.
Then they blame the turd in the soup on the democrats and lefties. Meanwhile the turd brags how people are eating his shit up.
It’s the standard “my enemies are so unbelievably stupid that they can’t do anything correctly and are utterly incompetent, but also they are smart enough that they are sabotaging us at every corner in ways so sophisticated no one can prevent it.” Somehow this actually works long term…
I think we’re missing an opportunity to flip a lot of people blue with the “I told you so” vs “welcome to the real right side my friend”
Except we were seeing the exact same sentiments from trump voters in 2018.
Trump voters are literally the scorpion in that stupid parabale where everyone drowns.
Some most definitely. Not all, reality is unfortunately not that simplistic.
I have yet to meet one that wasn’t. Any demographic large enough will have outliers, but bulk of trump voters are bigoted assholes who want nothing but to harm other people for being different.
I’ve ment plenty of normal people who were essentially uninformed.
Absolutely. I see this mentality “they never care until it happens to them” a lot, and I get it and was guilty of it myself, but an effective political movement needs to be able to welcome people regardless of background.
It’s illusory to think that people who voted Trump until it affected them would ever be part of a progressive movement, for many reasons.
We need justice to heal. If we don’t get justice for these last ten years the good parts of this country will never trust it again. Would you rather republicans feel less offended or would you rather those that actually make up the bulk of this countries economy feel as if their time on this planet is useful? I’m tired of my side throwing me out like fucking trash because an ugly ogre of a right winger is crying because vaccines are expected of them and they don’t wanna. I’m tired of them destroying everything good that we do because they believe bullshit.
Quit punishing good people because some fucking dumb fucks are crying.
In these threads we’re not really speaking to those people who have e seen the light though. We are collectively mourning what has been lost, and “we told you so” is a somewhat satisfying outlet.
I’m sure they’ll love the blue version of genocide!
Low effort, 2/10 troll
Generous of you
Many of them are cheering on, and enthusiastically voted for, the ethnic cleansing of the United States. They do not give a single fuck about the genocide of brown people.
Exactly, they’ll love the democrat version of Middle East genocide!
Username does not check out.

Found a centrist!
More like realist. A political party of five people is less powerful than a political party of fifty million people. Numbers win.
Right that’s why we have the electoral college… But wait! That proves that the bigger number isn’t the more powerful party! Silly me.
They voted Republican because they were shamed and insulted by the right. They desire to be put in their place by strong individuals. This is the key yall are missing. We need to prove strength to them not accept them.
