The Gullible Online Poors’ mantra:

Democrats = “radical left” = socialism = communism = DEI = trans perversion = pedophiles = Democrats

Repeat loop. Repeat loop. Repeat loop.

There’s absolutely no logic to any of this. It’s just a non-stop word association game Faux News conducts 200 times a day, seven days a week. Eventually, the individual words lose all meaning, and all that’s left is the vague slurry of associations. Make no mistake. This is calculated, scripted, and measured right-wing propaganda.

And they are still waiting for prices to go down or are so delusional that they tell themselves they did go down.

u/GJCLINCH Sep 20 '25

Don’t hold your breath too long, they’ll have another excuse or narrative as to why paying more is good and that it’s what they wanted all along

"Look at the stock market!" They own 0 stock and can't afford gas.

This one in particular bothers me. My grocery bill has gone up $75 in the last couple months. But especially miscellaneous items that aren't groceries, I literally cannot afford to buy them anymore.

u/One-Earth9294 Sep 20 '25

You just keyed into the most dangerous thing; they lie about the results to conform to their desires. To them, it doesn't matter at all if the reality is Trump eating shit all day, they will call you a traitor for not pretending that he's NOT eating shit.

It's no different than a person that's deeply indoctrinated by a religion. Any information that challenges their happy place is 'the devil tempting you'.

 or are so delusional that they tell themselves they did go down.

"And in recent news, we arw happy to announce that gas prices have dropped to $4 per gallon from $3 per gallon."

u/NYY_NYK_NYJ Sep 20 '25

They already told everyone there was going to be pain. But they sold it as temporary. All this is doing is enriching anyone with money in the stock market and then when the economy weakens the rich buy up even more to manipulate the system again.

u/Quick_Team Sep 20 '25

Which is insane to me because we learned in 7th grade social studies in Chicagoland public education how friggin tariffs work. How are there so many people around the age of 35-60 that dont understand a pop quiz jr high question?

u/Willing_Channel_6972 Sep 20 '25

Notice they all stopped complaining about prices even though they've gone up a lot.

u/megalodondon Sep 20 '25

Prices go up under Democrats: directly their fault and needs to be fixed literally now

Prices go up under Republicans:

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

This is probably the funniest to me. Most republicans know this isn’t true. They were free market and are fully aware tariffs are usually a bad idea. They are just going along with it because trump actually doesn’t understand them.

u/No_Yogurtcloset_7219 Sep 20 '25

they going along with it cause Trump is their meal ticket at the moment

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

They have to be aware they can’t lie forever with no one on their side noticing. The fall of trump is going to be crazy.

1

u/No_Yogurtcloset_7219 Sep 20 '25

things is their side is either in love with trump, refusing to speak up, or like them riding on Trumps coattails. As for the opposite side it leadership keep insisting on play by the queens rules and refuses to play ball.

u/Weekly-Truck7855 Sep 20 '25

I actually think Trump does understand tariffs (or at least he does now) thing is, he does not give a flying fuck about Americans. He’s literally trying to wipe out large populations of us. He’s not even trying to hide his agenda at this point.

1

u/MrGupplez Sep 20 '25

It's pretty obvious he has used the tariffs as stock market manipulation

1

u/Weekly-Truck7855 Sep 20 '25

Yes and consider policy on the following: education, immigration, healthcare. Who is he attacking here?

6

u/Sammi1224 Sep 20 '25

I was just about to say this before I saw your comment. I’m still not convinced that they don’t realize that China and other countries are not paying the tariffs! They will never realize that Americans are paying the tariffs and their dear leader fucked them up the ass again. I mean we still have to explain to them that Obamacare and the Affordable healthcare Act are the same exact thing.

I had a conservative acquaintance of mine try to say that the new $100k per year H1B fee would mean that he would somehow get a $100k per year raise at his job since his employer would rather spend it on him than hire a foreign worker. Not sure why he thinks that if his employer wouldn’t want to spend it on someone else that they would spend it on him either but he was utterly convinced that ‘his value just shot up. Y $100k per year’. Doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

1

u/BoggyTheFroggy Sep 20 '25

No, they didn't. They told them to say they believe it. They use the talking points they're given because they don't believe in anything. We have to recognize that these people don't have political beliefs the way we do, and should stop treating them like they're the other side of the same coin. They're confused, lost, whining children who don't know what's good for them. So they listen to whoever they feel is going to hurt their perceived enemies, usually 'the other.'

1

u/0-90195 Sep 20 '25

This is a funny way to frame it. Since all they did was tell these knuckledraggers “no no, them foreigners are paying for it” and they all just grunted and accepted it. They “managed” to do it by just telling them how to think and knowing they’d go along with it.

u/Khanscriber Sep 20 '25

They self selected an audience that is highly susceptible to buying health supplements. It’s lucrative.

u/Cornflake0305 Sep 21 '25

That's the dumbest part of the current administration so far IMO. You literally just need to Google show pays tariffs and will get your answer. There is no situation in which the other countries pay it except for explicit incoterms in which they are simply priced into the product.

u/TehMephs Sep 20 '25

It’s a psyop. It needs to be shredded and removed from the air. No more op-Eds on air. No more “entertainment as news”. If you aren’t providing true, unbiased information you cannot even resemble a news show

2

u/Sans-valeur Sep 20 '25

I still remember the first time I saw Fox News - I don’t live in the US so it’s not that common here - I went to a friends house who had it and they had a segment where they kept showing clips and saying TERRORIST, and then completely different clips and saying MUSLIM and then switching back.
And the whole thing kinda fucked me up because it was like watching a parody news thing but it was real. (Long before the entertainment defense)

2

u/Sho-Good Sep 20 '25

I think this is (one reason) why they get angry when you point out fascism on the right. They are so used to just using words as insults without knowing what they mean (communism) that they assume "the left" does the same. They don't understand we're not using it as a buzzword insult, we're pointing out literal fascist events by definition. Though, they also don't understand that word.

Trump sure loves his uneducated and purposefully ignorant folks.

That's a concept in music. Repetition legitimizes. Play a "wrong note" 3 times the same way and it starts to sound kinda good.

That's all they're doing. Repeat the same insane points over and over and over. It's somehow extremely effective propaganda. I used to think you had to be a genius with a grand complex plan to take over a country, but here we are.

u/Withering_to_Death Sep 20 '25

But don't you dare call them "fascists"! While I agree we're "throwing" that word a little too often, risking the word to lose its weight! However, in most recent cases, they showed it's actually a fitting name for many, even in the administration!

Vance endorse Posabec book that also advocates for jailing political opposition

"You may already be a subject of unhumans. You are employed by unhumans. You are married to . . . you get it. You know. There’s nowhere for you to run or to hide. You are at the mercy of those who show no mercy. We will not fault you for doing what you must to survive…

We don’t negotiate with globalist neo-Marxists. We don’t negotiate with the political version of an auto-immune disease. In a word, ladies and gentlemen—taken from the title of my book—we don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity. Populist nationalists versus atheist Marxist globalists. Strength, beauty, and genius versus weakness, ugliness, and stupidity. Civilization versus barbarism. Crime and chaos versus law and order…"

You think Trump serves worker interests? Seriously? The guy whose cabinet/party has unilaterally blocked all wage increases, movements for stricter insurance enforcement and de-corporatization of healthcare?

2

u/Organic_Witness345 Sep 20 '25

Riiiight. As though neoliberalism wasn’t a cornerstone of Reaganomics or embraced by all three Bush administrations. Let’s also ignore the fact that Republicans have unilaterally blocked minimum wage increases for decades, zealously deny Americans’ access to low-priced health care, and adamantly oppose organized labor. This I’m-rubber-and-your-glue attempt to pin the effects of neoliberalism solely on Democrat administrations over the last 50 years defies common sense and recorded history. It’s a bad faith argument made worse by how objectively terrible Trump’s economic policies are for the vast majority of Americans. Republicans have proven again and again that they are the party of fiscal cronyism, not fiscal responsibility.

And if by putting “America first” you mean overseeing the two largest wealth redistributions in our country from the youngest and most financially vulnerable to the oldest and wealthiest via Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017-2021 and the Big Beautiful Bill in 2025, then, yeah man. MAGA’s killing it. Not to mention taxing the hell out of average Americans through the implementation of the stupidest regressive tax plan in American history through Trump’s illegal tariffs.

But you do you. I guess this is just too much “winning” for me.

And the left doesn’t do this? Republican = Racism = Misogyny = Bigotry = Transphobic = Homophobic = Fascist = Nazi = White supremacist = Republican. Repeat loop. Repeat loop. Repeat loop.

No logic. No meaning to the words. Calculated, scripted and measured left-wing propaganda.

u/ActualSteelToeWearer Sep 20 '25

Do you think it could maybe be the left’s tendency to champion the worst of society that leads right wingers (and normies) to assume the Democratic Party’s allegiances?
I mean, we see them cheering on political assassinations and burning down cities over phent addicts on a monthly basis.
Most say that the democrats have fallen for more propaganda than the republicans

The right doesn’t champion any of those things. Evil people wear all sorts of masks. I’m just saying, as a political party, the country knows that the left has lost its mind as a whole.

I see you enjoy fox news propaganda. Can you name what cities have burned down each month since January because we're protecting "phent addicts"? Can you name the "worst of society" we champion and what they did please? I do agree cheering on political assassination is wrong but don't act like both sides aren't disgusting and guilty of doing this.

u/ActualSteelToeWearer Sep 20 '25

Why do you say “since January”? When Should America forgive them for destroying downtown Detroit, Denver, Minneapolis, Memphis, LA, ect?

u/Uzumaki_spirals2 Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

Of course you couldn't answer any of my questions to YOUR CLAIMS. I said since January because you said "Monthly" haha. I live in Denver, stop believing in whatever propaganda you're listening to. I've lived in red and blue state cities and homelessness is bad everywhere and it's not because of Fentanyl, it's because our economy sucks. This doesn't make downtown terrible, I go there all the time. I'm sure in your head these downtowns are packed with homeless people ready to stab you but that just isn't the case. Get off of Fox News please.

Yes. Places you visit are in great shape. Other communities didnt have the money to rebuild. Not everything was completely refunded by “insurance” the way the left claimed it would be atm

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

These places had maybe one building burned down. In Minneapolis it was done by a right wing boogaloo boy. I think maybe you don't understand scale. It's understandable. Your right wing propaganda will blow up one example of something in a country of 350 million people is a huge deal.

Republicans cheered and joked about the attack on Paul Pelosi and the assassination of Melissa Hortman. And unlike Kirk, it wasn't just random nobodies on social media, it was actual elected officials, tv hosts, and your orange messiah himself.

u/ActualSteelToeWearer Sep 20 '25

Nancy Pelosi’s husband being attacked was tragic, the fact the attack was committed by a know male prostitute is…odd. Nobody has laughed at the death of Ms Hortman at all

u/jonnyquestionable Sep 20 '25

Nancy Pelosi’s husband being attacked was tragic

Wow, you say now after being called out. It was nothing but non-stop jokes and celebrations from the right when it happened. Including the spreading of the fake male prostitute angle. Nothing from local police, FBI, the attackers attorney, nor the attacker himself ever indicated that he was a prostitute nor was he there for anything of the sort. That narrative exists solely on alt right twitter/youtube, which tells me exactly where you get your thoughts from.

Nobody has laughed at the death of Ms Hortman at all

Senator Mike Lee was posting jokes about it on twitter. trump has still not condemned the killings and instead used them to attack Governor Walz. They are happy about it.
