    “leopards eating faces” is the other side of the coin of “owning the libs”

      This comment inspired me to design a conservative commemorative coin. Why should only Trump himself have them?

      Leopards Eating Faces is obviously heads. I’m thinking of a big dumb face that’s kind of laughing and staring at you, but you can only see one of the eyes. The other eye is covered by an open leopard mouth coming down at an angle and starting to envelop the face.

      Owning the Libs will probably be an effeminate man getting kicked in the butt. It will resonate with conservatives because it has it all: potty humor, bigotry, dominance, and superficial judgment.

    Remember: we treat and help even those who smoke themselves to death while we do it. Empathy is a human quality. By gloating and being cruel, we sink to their level. Even if this women never learns her lesson, please show empathy and help of you can.

      What about people who did not want to get vaccinated, wear masks and self-isolate? They should embrace rugged individualists’ moral hazard and agree to sign a responsibility waiver on healthcare related to COVID (or at least get deprioritized triage whenever the services were overwhelmed). It would still suck, because they’d probably get responsible people who they share a space with into hospital…but it would put the onus on them rather than the big bad government.

        yeah was really, really upset during COVID that the idiots literally bringing the risk to our healthcare workers still demanded healthcare from the workers they despised, convinced it was all a hoax by people who’s medical expertise came from late night infomercials.

      Smokers harm themselves. This person harmed everyone and wants sympathy.

      I say this as a (perhaps now former) pacivist: Fuck her. I’ll focus the last bit of empathy on the people that didn’t vote to have people ripped away from their families by masked sociopaths cosplaying as police.

    I’m all for jeering at a fuckwit for voting for Trump, but t2 beetus is entirely curable with diet. this likely isn’t as big a deal as she’s making out.

    oh wait, this is america. so no it’s not. she’s probably chowing down on maccas and dairy queen every day and weighs 600kg

      That’s not even true. Some milder forms can be treated with just diet. But it’s a far cry from “entirely curable”. Not even close.

    And its going to get a lot hotter and lot more expensive for you to live, and managing climate change? That is gone as well.

        Right so that’s everybody saved then! Certainly there isn’t anyone who can’t work a literal part time job, or " volunteer" for some giant multinational that has the authority to sign off on your Medicaid.

        What a shit hole… And thats the positive spin…

    As tempting as it is and as upset as I am with everyone who voted for Fascism (purposely or due to ignorance), these people need to be compassionately educated rather than jeered at and told “That’s what you get you fucking idiot.”

    This is a moment where they might realize the value of the services that the left believes they deserve as a fellow human being. Maybe they’ll finally figure out that the propaganda they’ve been fed isn’t a reliable source of truth.

      Well, I don’t know what to say to them when they actually experience the consequences of their firm belief system other than to shrug my shoulders and say well, sorry you are struggling, isn’t there some other job you can work that can pay for xyz that you voted to fuck the rest of us over for? I mean there are unintended consequences and I am sure they didn’t expect to be the people that were hurt, just those other people like you and me.

      I’m all out. i was all ready to do this in 2016-17 but this is their second term. they deliberately voted to take away benefits from the most unfortunate, to deliberately ruin the lives of the marginalized by denying healthcare, and tearing families apart, with parents separated from their children and keeping defenseless children in cages until they’re expelled to a land they don’t know without their families.

      fuck them. they’re not just stupid, they’re spitefully evil. and they enjoy the suffering of others. i won’t shed a tear for theirs. fuck their entire existence, i hope they know nothing but misery.

        I think most of them are honestly just ignorant. If you literally get your news from conservative media you’d have no idea. Hell, at this point, most traditional media is pretty bad.

        Sure they might be a racist, bigot, misogynist, or all three but chances are it’s what they’ve been taught. Shit is seriously different in poor and/or rural areas.

          You know, I thought that at first. Then I was talking to this coworker who lives in the country on a small farm/homestead (that is a lifestyle choice, not an actual career). And she had absolutely not one iota of compassion or empathy for those people sent to an El Salvador Prison without due process. Her view was that it just was less expensive than detaining them here. Even though I said… but, they won’t ever get out of there, there is not court or deportation back to their country" and she shrugs and says “not our problem anymore.” Heartless Snaggletooth Cunt.

            Honestly, I just don’t give a fuck. Democrats have committed national suicide by endlessly trying to appeal and pander to these conservative fuckwits. Ultimately MAGA are sick rotten people who don’t want to change, don’t want to improve themselves, and are just looking for someone to hurt. The entire core philosophy of MAGA is that other people are responsible for your shitty life, and that your life will be better if we just destroy enough minorities.

            The lesson from history is that these people cannot be saved. Hell, the actual historical Nazis? Ten years after the war ended, Nazi popularity was still around where it was when Hitler came to power. The generation that brought Hitler to power never really change their views. They still viewed Germany as the innocent victim, and they still blamed the Jews for their problems. Germany was leveled, divided, and occupied, and these fuckers learned nothing. Politics only improved in Germany when the next generation came up in the shadow of the war. It took generations dying off for attitudes to really change. Hitler’s generation took their hate to their graves.

            If even losing WW2 won’t change the mind of a fascist, what will? We call MAGA fascist, but we refuse to actually look at historical fascism and put MAGA in its proper context. If you think you can appeal to MAGA based on compassion or reason, then you really haven’t internalized the concept that MAGA is a fascist movement.

            These people are beyond redemption. If there is a literal Hell, every last one of them is going there. They cannot be saved.

              Here’s the thing… the people in power right now are trying to make new generations of Nazi fucks out of young people. Continue this insanity.

              Gutting education and every fucking system we’ve tried to put in place to help people and show that things can be better. They’re being taught that it isn’t the fault of the rich man who won’t let you take a bathroom break! He’s just trying to scrape by while being robbed by the tax man! If only they’d give him a break then he could afford to pay you better. Really, it’s the fault of your fellow worker because he’s an immigrant, or your neighbor because he’s disabled, or your kid’s friend because he isn’t not masculine enough, or your wife’s fault for selfishly working instead of staying home and raising your boy right…
