    Democrats will get onto Twitter and TikTok and claim that anyone who voted for Claudia De la Cruz or Jill Stein (actually they don't even know who Claudia De la Cruz is) is a monstrous bigot who wanted Trump to win and everything bad that happens to society is our fault, and then they'll bring home a Christian Nationalist to meet their parents.

    Like, I'm sorry, "I was kinda off put" just break up, this guy is a theocratic fascist.

        I don't think I was being defensive, I was making fun of libs for having a ton of heat for even the mildest socdems, and then being accepting of outright Trump supporting Christofascists.

        weirded out by her boyfriend starting a prayer circle in the name of a politician, Donald Trump no less.

        I just think she probably should have already been weirded out when he started babbling about a politician, Donald Trump no less (to be clear, I'm not trying to be snide here, I agree with you, it's extremely weird to worship Trump like this) being saved by God from assassination because he was "chosen."

          She literally states herself this is the first time he’s ever done. It’s very possible she’s not really attuned to political discourse and this guy hid his wacky behavior as men are wont to do.

            She did say they had disagreed politically before. I think that in the framework of American politics that's basically a 95% chance she's vaguely lib he's vaguely fascist. What theLepidopterists said is totally fair given that.

            Yeah, probably this Trump worshipping freak was perfectly composed and never gave any hints to his incredibly weird worldview in the past.

            This girl doesn’t seem politically inclined in any way

            She literally says that he is aware of their political disagreements.

            being a ‘pussy hat’ wearing douche

            What?

    Lamo, I’d say this is 100% fake but actually Seppos are probably deranged enough for this to be real.

      praying to saints is extremely normal for christians, and thinking you're your own pope and get to decide who is a saint and who isnt is extremely normal for americans.

          you havent seen eastern orthodox then :)

          btw, this very strong distinction between catholic and protestant christianity is pretty alien to me. either because i'm equally far from both, or because i grew up in a country that ended up mixed catholic/protestant at the end of the wars of reformation.

          in reality, christianity is pretty pagan by itself. god has a son who is god and he dies? god is born? god dies? that's greek shit.

            I dunno, I was raised a pretty radical Quaker, so you’re all idol worshipers to me, and presumably quakers are weird heretics to you!

            Not that I’ve practiced since childhood mind, so I’m damned either way.

      Account is 3 years old and the comment history is pretty much what you’d expect from a 20yo woman. There are of course people with older account spreading bullshit around but I think this one is very likely to be real.

    No, this person isn’t an asshole for their BF praying to Trump at their family dinner table. They are an asshole because they are surprised by it and didn’t know this was the way their partner was prior to the prayer circle.

    Anyone whose romantic relationship has opposing political views deserves something this funny to happen.

    My roommates mum (we're in the UK) came over for christmas eve, and she was chatting with my mum about how she has prayed every night this year for donald trump.
    she believes that all the space rockets that go up visit the sun to collect 'plasma' and that all the vaccines are microchips, so y'know, top minds and all

      It is an almost childlike wonder about the world, isn't it? They hear about blood "plasma" and hear about the sun having "plasma" and connect the two in their mind.

      I really don’t get Trump stans in countries other than the US. His whole schtick is, I’ll make the deals with other countries that ensure America is on the winning end of the deal and they’re on the losing end. How could they possibly think he’s gonna make life better for them?
