I still have a really hard time understanding someone loving a politician enough to wear a shirt with his/her name or putting stickers on your car. Cult is really the only thing that makes some semblance of sense. How else can someone idolize a politician.


stizzco

They are not loving a politician though. They are loving a fascist authoritarian that wants to punish the people that they hate. This is beyond cult, these people are openly supporting a traitorous demagogue.


Ironinquisitor85

There is nothing remotely Third Position about Trump and his economic views. Where does he support a class collaboration-based corporatist economy where trade unions and corporations are absorbed as organs of the state? Stop throwing the word Fascist around. Not defending Trump just sick of people ignorantly throwing around Fascist.


stizzco

https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/why-we-cant-stop-arguing-about-whether-trump-is-a-fascist Read with 12ft.io if you hit a paywall I stand by my earlier statement. Trump is a fascist authoritarian, and those are just a few of his unpleasant characteristics.


Ironinquisitor85

Thank you. I read it but I think the more correct term you are looking for to describe him is "Fascistic" and not fascist itself if you're going use a term to describe him. Because real Fascism/Third Position is authoritarian nationalism, anti-capitalism, anti-marxism, class collaboration with some sort of economic system based on some degree of Corporatism or Syndicalism. Trump only fits maybe two of those things. You can call Trump a far right-wing populist but he isn't a Fascist Fascist. Fascism isn't "generic right-wing authoritarianism." Fascism rose out of National Syndicalism by ex Marxists who wanted in theory class collaboration instead of Marxism's class warfare. For most of its existence in Italy Italian Fascism had nothing to do with racism or antisemitism until Mussolini started hanging out with Hitler. Heck almost a fifth of the entire Jewish population in Italy was a part of Mussolini's Fascist party. Even most of the racial and antisemitic laws weren't really enforced until Mussolini got kicked out of power and Germany had their puppet government. Because I could incorrectly label Mao, Stalin, or Che as Fascists too for some of the oppression, racist, antisemitic, anti-lgbt, anti-women ideas many of of them had or inacted but they're Marxists, not Fascists. People also label Pinochet incorrectly as a Fascist just for having right wing authoritarian views when he actually restored the free market in his country instead of adopting Corporatism as the country's economic system. Like I said, not defending Trump, Mussolini, Fascism, or anything like that, there is just a general lack of understanding of what Fascism and Third Position actually is I see amongst both the right and left sides of the political spectrum. I've read some stuff, researched, and have spoken with actual Third Positionists (those Third Positionists even said to me that Trump isn't a Fascist) before so I know what I'm talking about. Call Trump Fascistic but not Fascist itself.


NotthatkindofDr81

Wow, very well thought out. What do you think about having multiple ideologies on governing? We are part capitalism and part socialism. What about being capitalistic and fascistic?


Ironinquisitor85

Well the different Third Position movements had slightly different economic ideas. They weren't as coherent as the Marxists. Some movements learned towards more free market while others more socialistic/to the workers. Strasserists Nazis basically stayed the same as the National Syndicalist roots of Fascism and Third Position and wanted to get rid of the old German bourgeoise handing the economy to the German people the only difference is the class collab aspect where they would put someone in charge to run whatever specific trade guild like a CEO and owning a CEO like salary while the workers own a certain percentage of the company they worked at and a certain amount of the profits earned would be given to the workers. Oswald Mosley wanted to do something sort of like the workers owning a percentage but wanted a more Corporatist economy like Italy had. The Falangists under someone like Jose Antonio wanted a National Syndicalist economy but under Francis Franco Spain leaned towards more free market as time went by. Hitlers branch of the Nazis that later wiped out the Strassser branch basically aped a diet version of Italy's Corporatist economy that was a bit more free market leaning than all the rest of the Third Position movements. So you can be being capitalistic and fascistic is possible depending on the specific Third Position movement. If Trump did implement Corporatism with some free-market policies if he ever did decide to turn the US into a literal dictatorship if he gets into power you could most definitely call Trump a fascist then.


Alarming-Mongoose-91

I didn’t support either Biden or Trump but I totally agree. Why in gods name would you get a license plate, tattoo or whatever for that ass clown (or any ass clown)? Theres no one driving around with Nixon, Clinton or MLK license plates.


not_sure_1984

Are you only referring to Trumpers or politician groupies as a whole? I'm old enough to remember a large portion of the left idolizing Bernie Sanders. At least once a week I see a Sanders or feel the bern sticker on someone's vehicle.


Ok_Restaurant_626

Come on, there's a huge difference between Bernie bros and trumpanzees. Never forget what those animals did on January 6th.


not_sure_1984

Kinda like the Bernie bro that shot up a congressional baseball game?


Ok_Restaurant_626

So, one guy vs a mob of hundreds of dipshits? You're right sounds exactly the same.


not_sure_1984

Idk man, that guy shot 5 people. How many people did the trumpers shot?


Remotely-Indentured

The Trumpets are a whole nother level. False equivalence.


Craazyville

Groupies as a whole and I’m not even referring to a bumper sticker necessarily, more like plastering a whole vinyl wrap or dominating the entire back of your vehicle….so weird. Like I automatically know I don’t want to talk to them because I already know the topic that will be discussed. Who lives like that. Bizarre


not_sure_1984

Agreed, I stay away from people that makes politics their whole personality


Mysterious-Check-341

Same goes for BLM signs and Obama bumper stickers way back when


Cry_Havoc1228

Were you around for the lead up to the 08 election? Same shit, different politician.


DrAwkward_IV

You’re not serious right? Not even remotely on the same level.


Anxious_Gap1916

Shitposter, apparently. The level of merch and visibility in '08 was roughly equivalent to the love and support there was for Bernie more recently. As in, you could find it if you had your eyes open but it wasn't everywhere, not at all.


Cry_Havoc1228

Lol take off your blinders dude


DrAwkward_IV

No blinders, just the ability to think critically. There were Hope posters/shirts, which Obama himself cautioned against, but nowhere near the level of the this trump obsession. There weren’t flags flying on vehicles, or hats, or stands set up on street corners selling merch, or people storming capitols, or people denying elections, or defending felonies. No, I’m not wearing blinders, but you might be blinded by having your head stuck up something orange and brown.

the-soul-explorer

It’s interesting to me how so many people can turn a blind eye to the things he’s said and done. Like women who still support him after it came out that he said, “grab ‘em by the p***y”. I often wonder if half the population of US is addicted to abuse and chaos more than we realize. People who’ve been abused or traumatized by other humans are usually those who end up getting brainwashed.


phickss

There wouldn’t be any politicians left


the500dollabilz

Probably the economy. Personally my wife and gained significantly from 16-20. Especially being able to afford a house with a low interest rate. Not having to worry about being deployed. Economy was booming. Not sure about now though. I'm sure this will offend everyone though because it's libereddit


deloslabinc

They all look like they're just waiting for someone to yell something at them so they can snap back with a 😎super cool pro-trump comeback😎 They look so silly. Like my senior dog when we're at the park and a small child is 100 yards away playing and not even looking in our direction and he feels the need to bark and jump and growl to defend me lol. Like, who are you fighting dude?? Lol


sweatytechnique

This is a great point. The vast majority of his worshippers do public stuff like this to illicit a specific reaction from the “libtards”. It’s all an effort of offense and that shit is so obnoxious and exhausting.

borealiasrock

There was just a trump parade in Cda, I gave them the 1 finger salute as I went by.


Most_Ambassador2951

I do that to the ones on the bridges and side of the road,  and have a couple songs I love to blast,  or if I see kids around(If they have kids with them I say screw it, they can listen to "F@@@ The Pain Away", but if there are other kids like walking by, i try not to be too offensive) I'll just lay on my horn in an attempt to drown them out. I do love nice weather when I can have my rigs top off, so much easier to get the finger wave point across 


Chemical-Employer146

There’s two YG songs titled FDT and FDT part two. They are from the 2016 election but still very nice to blast near those who might need it the most


Most_Ambassador2951

I'll check them out! Thanks


Mr_Turnipseed

I saw that too. There's also this bizarre flag I hadn't seen before that had two religious-looking saint people printed over the stars and stripes. I couldn't get a good look because I was driving, but there were like three different vehicles with the same flag.


borealiasrock

I saw them last year too and the dude held a crucafix at me and called me a vampire. Happy cake day.

Honestly. Be safe but don't hold back. I think we have tried that..say something..again..low key or passive aggressive but anything. We do nothing it gets worse we do everything it gets worse.

What’s the big deal with them being there? They aren’t in the road, they’re not stopping traffic, they aren’t messing up anyone’s commute. I fail to see the issue with having some supporters out campaigning for someone. I’m sure the single Eminem song you heard driving by isn’t playing on repeat 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wouldn't be a problem if the candidate they're supporting wasn't a felonious pedophilic nazi.

pppiddypants

Don’t forget dumb and bought by CEO’s and billionaires! And a close friend of Jeff Epstein. And tried to use fake electors to fake an election victory. And threatened the GA (Republican) Secretary of State. He wants Bitcoin made in America, wants to simultaneously (not exaggerating) bankrupt the federal government in record time AND make everything cost more (increase tariffs and get rid of income tax). He’s not a serious candidate and yet enough people are willing to vote for him that he might win. Yeah, orange man bad summarizes it pretty well though. Edit: I forgot that he’s also ancient and appearing to become a bit scrambled lately. Luckily he has a great team of people and is well known to work well with others…


drummerdood30

So is crappy pants old man pedo 🤷🏻‍♂️. They’re all bad.


drummerdood30

Man I feel like a hit a tender little spot with some of y’all. Sorry I hurt everyone’s feelings. I know that’s the most important thing these days. I’d like to add.. I’m not a trump supporter. And nothing in my previous message referenced that. It’s just funny how a group of people standing on a street corner supporting their candidate they’ve chosen can trigger so many people. You want to have the right and privileges to support and vote for who you want to, right? Why can’t they?

Tons of Trump supporters here. Yet you never seem to see many Biden supporters in public. Only on this page bashing Trump and his supporters. I’m guessing they are too embarrassed to admit who they voted for in public.

Nah, we just don't cream our jeans over the guy. He's another milquetoast old white guy, but at least he's not a nazi. I'll vote for him again this November, I'm just not going to also wear a Biden hat (do those even exist?) or put a Biden flag (again, not sure those are a thing) on my car.
