“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

He voted Republican chiefly on the issue of abortion...

WTAF. Why are there so many idiots like this? You don't like abortion, don't fucking have one. And if you are male...it's not your concern.

A person I used to consider a friend told me that Donald Trump was sent by God to end abortion. When I brought up several bible verses that directly condemn what Donald Trump has done he told me they were out of context.

No longer speak to him.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Ah, the old "out of context" crutch that so many Babble-bangers like to fall back on. Hilarious.

The same people that will ignore dietary law of the religion they co-opted will quote from the same book to support their opinion on Teh Ghey.

This is the only area I DO get. I don't agree with it, but I can understand where they're coming from. If you believe a fetus is a person, it makes total sense to vote against murder. And we aren't going to win anyone over by framing it as just an issue for women. If it's even possible to change someone's mind on the topic it would be through education, not telling them that their opinion on murder doesn't matter.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It just makes zero sense to be a single-issue voter like this, though. And I don't really think most of them give two fucks about the fetus; for many of them it's about control.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For many of them it's about being accepted by the community. They dont question their beliefs because that'd put them in the out group.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Agreed. I grew up in an extremely rural area and if someone moved there from "the city" (any city, really) they were sus. Even being one county over was viewed with a raised eyebrow.

But even if someone was born and raised there, visited a large city with their family, and then later said something positive about that city, they were given serious side-eye. Though I moved there at a very young age, I was not born and raised there and didn't have extended family in the area. Therefore, myself and my family, because we tended to travel more, and were not "from there", were definitely viewed with suspicion by the locals. Another strike against me - I was definitely bound for college and my parents valued reading, learning and education. All very out-groupy things with a lot of the locals.

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

^ That line baffles me

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He had tattoos on his body? I keep mine in a drawer in the shed.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok, hear me out.
David Beckham has tattoos on his body AND is an immigrant. Therefore he must be a part of the ms13 gang and should be deported. It's the only thing that makes sense!!!!!

I've also heard Dolly Parton has tattoos...

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They stopped liking Dolly Parton after they found out that she's gives books to kids.

"Everyone that disagrees with me is a Democrat"

You'd think farmers at least would understand the relationship between what you sow and what you reap.

Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

Jesus Died For Your SINS

Right next to...

Cum on down to the Dildo Motel! Behind the truck stop on State 30, we got every kind, color and flavor of fake dicks and porno DVDs.

Imagine believing that the best days of the US are ahead of you...

I'm sure improvements will be made, but the United States is dying, thanks in large part due to the cancer that's rightwing propaganda networks

If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal disease. I know what I’m doing before I go out.

Someone needs to bring these people a holocaust surviver to show them their tattoo and explain why fascism should never rise again

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wasn't there just a video of some "alpha" guy trying to school a holocaust survivor the other day?

Im not surprised but god

[–] ryrybang@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.

Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.

[–] derry@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Grew up near Iowa, can confirm a lot of stupid people who think they're smart.
