"The August 2020 US Politics Thread is highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality. That's all."

i take a harder line. for me, if you ever supported trump, after, say, august 2015, you're an unredeemable piece of shit and a demonstrably poor judge of character. trump's deal was very, very, VERY clear by august 2015

Calling for a boycott of Goodyear (headquartered in Akron Ohio) doesn’t seem like the smartest move to me but I guess that’s why he’s the president.

xp i cannot even believe such people exist, not even the ones in my family who no longer support trump.

xp

i mean, that's why the 2016 GOP primary was so crazy - it was also clear to much of the GOP that trump was a horrible piece of shit! they temporarily tore themselves into pieces, trying to deal with him. then, they got in line

xxxpost Well yeah, but mine is a general formulation I'd apply even to the Never Trumpers. Who, it seems, object to his propensity for saying the quiet part loud more than anything.

'We can be racist, but do we have to be so brash about it?'

THIN SKINNED MUCH, MISTER PRESIDENT

ffs

I will honestly say that I hope that Sandman kid dies in a fucking fire. Him and his family and all those other kids who were with him are scum and deserve nothing but scorn and pain.

his twitter profile pic is him and Don Jr

There's no justification for identifying as or voting for a Republican after 1980.

Unless you're white and rich, in which case you're simply backing the people who more reliably safeguard your interests.

i mean, i doubt anyone here was sympathetic to the band cackling maga teens

Are you fucking kidding me with this shit!? you were one of the main dudes on the capn save-a-fash squad when this happened!

xp Hey now, maybe you're just racist and/or hate women, more solid reasons to support the GOP

I've said it before but 'opposes Trump but still identifies as a Republican in the year 2020' = 'I will never ever ever trust you or your intentions even a little bit'. Anyone on the left side of the fence who deviates from that position is a sucker and a future mark imho.

Re: the cackling MAGA teens— I wasn't spending a lot of time on here when that happened, but what I can say is that while teenagers test boundaries and do idiotic shit all the time, the use of "they're so young and impressionable and undifferentiated from their horrible parents" excuse is BULLSHIT. those kids knew exactly what they were doing.

"yeah he's exactly who you see on the TV, there's nothing else to him"

One of the only MAGA chuds I know irl claims he actually met Trump in some real estate deal, and that the media portrayal of him is nothing like what he is in real life. Yeahhhhh, right...

mea culpa

Maga culpa.

Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

what a brave man

we get better tires for less?

Trump should make his own tires. They could be called "So Tired, by Trump." And then after a few minivans inevitably fly off the road maybe he'll lose 5% of his support.

I love that: “the media portrayal”

dogg, I’m watching him shit out of his dumb mouth directly into a camera. sometimes there’s no “portrayal”.

cmon down to the white house where we get better tires for less

The radical left Democrats are very savvy at boycotting things they don't need, like Goya products and grapes and Sean Hannity.

Also a major missed opportunity to turn "Radical Left Democrats" into "Radi(c)al Left Democrats"

Maga fans should stack Goodyear tires, climb inside, and then light them on fire in protest.

how do tires ban hats? what a world!

Go buy Goodyears but make them write MAGA in white paint on each tire.

They should make MAGA tires that say MAGA on the treads so that when you speed through the dirt and mud and across the Democrat state capital lawn you leave a trail of MAGAMAGAMAGA everywhere you go.

They can do this with shoes, too. You're welcome, MAGA

Calling for a boycott of Goodyear (headquartered in Akron Ohio) doesn’t seem like the smartest move to me but I guess that’s why he’s the president.

these people will absolutely choose Trump over their jobs

My MAGA tires will also say "Don't Tread on Me."

fire the secret service!

He should definitely switch to something cheaper and less reliable.

Michelin’s out, they refused to award the Mar-A-Lago restaurant any stars.

perhaps it's time to recognize tires themselves as the problem?

MAKE TRUMP FRED FLINTSTONE AGAIN

Is there even another manufacturer of tires in the United States? It seems like he’s telling people to buy German/french/Italian etc.

MAGA CHUDs would lap it up if all Presidential vehicles replaced tires with tank treads.

warning: 2014 fact found on google, needs citation:

There are only two major American-owned tire manufacturers: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. Each of them has multiple manufacturing plants in the U.S.

ban goodyear until they bring back the ugly hats

As the idea of actually looking into this is giving me stupidity fatigue, can someone briefly explain what the fuck 'Goodyear Tires bans MAGA hats' even fucking means?

Like, given the source, he could be mad at a literal tire he believes to be sentient for all I goddamn know.

Goodyear should not be allowed to make tires until the year is good.

Trump hallucinates that the right rear of his limo has grown a cartoon mouth and starts talking to him in a bad Edward G. Robinson voice. 'Hey, Donnie, me and the boys have been talking, see, and we think your hats are stupid. We don't cotton to them anymore, see?'

isn't it illegal for the President to call for a boycott of an American business

I think so, Congress should get right on that.

It would be awesome if after all of this he was impeached and removed for calling for a tire boycott.
