Not weird, totally normal Americans

I hate that these morons have co-opted both the Gadsden flag and tiki torches. Goddamn tiki torches.

Can't have shit in America anymore.

morons: "don't tread on me!!!"

also morons: "stop living your life the way YOU want instead of the way I want!!!"

Eh, I don't think they're especially missed unless Hawaiians have stopped using them too.

6
- It's hard being a white male fire juggler in a post Unite the Reich rally world. Can't buy tiki fuel without getting weird looks anymore

I must be out of the loop. How did they co-opt tiki torches?

6
- See the top left image in the panel. Goobers were marching with tiki torches shouting "you will not replace us" if I remember correctly
  
  13
- Tiki torches used to be for bug protection (like citronella candles), but because the KKK used to march with torches and these morons can’t figure out how to make actual torches….
  
  The cheap WalmarKKK just go with that.

You can still use tiki torches

1
- I just worry tiki torches will attract conservatives to my backyard. Once an infestation sets in, it's very hard to treat.

Laugh if you want, but remember every single one of these people is absolutely voting in November (except maybe a felon or two).

I see your use of maybe there

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Trump doesn't vote

2
- He'll vote. And the x will be made with a sharpie in front of cameras.

They very much remind me of the Scientology drones running around in downtown Clearwater, Florida US.

Impossible to engage in meaningful conversation, preoccupied nature, and how they group up knowing they aren't wanted around, but legally you can't get rid of them.

54

if you don't join them, then you're just a problem to be overcome. like most cults, they're not here for 'meaningful conversation.'

25
- Exactly

I used to live in Florida, I've heard some crazy ass stories of things that happen with the Scientology people in Clearwater.

15
- You know it's bad when these people are weird even by Florida standards.
  
  17
- About 35 years ago I lived about 2 miles away from downtown in the "artists/gay/gentrification" part of town. The scientologists usually don't interact with the rest of the city/town. Unless you target them in any way , then you're eventually leaving ...... one way or the other.

Are we forgetting about some of the real hitters?

It’s amazing that diapers thing is not a joke.

28
Good god, the last photo is so unsettling it's making the parrots puke.

25
- If it makes you feel better, the parrots are actually mating. It's not weird.

Oh my. They’re sticking up for his use of diapers.

Real men are old and incontinent.

Does a high percentage of people (mostly old men) sexualize children? There has been a lot of allegations of pedophilia in weathy people and organisations, which can afford it, but would lots of regular people indulge in it if was legal? How are people fine with themselves sexualising children and why don't they just "tuck it in"?

8
- I don't have any data but given most mainstream porn websites have a "teen" section, I'm going to guess a lot of people sexualize teenagers. Most of them are likely not teenagers themselves.
  
  Human sexuality is complicated. But that doesn't excuse knowingly harming other people.
  
  It is strange that the right wing seems to oppose teaching about consent.
  
  There's probably two separate threads - attraction to physical youth, and attraction to power deltas. I think the latter is more dangerous, and probably more of what you find in shitty rich people. But I'm just guessing, I don't have any data.
  
  12
- No kid wants to fuck an old man, and I don't see how you could legalize brothels or prostitution for minors.
  
  It's about power a lot of the time. Wealth gets you anything you want, so anyone with enough money who wants to abuse kids, can. I'd imagine some extremely wealthy idiots are tricked into it for blackmail on rare occasions.
  
  Organizations, like the church, attract pedophiles because it's a trusted position of power that puts them alone with vulnerable kids.
  
  No, I don't think indulging in child abuse is something a regular person does, even if they have urges to. You're not a regular person if you're abusing kids.

They are a bunch of weirdo's. They look like they really, really "like" their cousins.

25

Only weirdos use an apostrophe as a plural! It's in the Constitution!

7
- The first group of weirdos owns the other 3 so it should have read the weirdo's weirdos.

James ~~Donald~~ David Bowman, has requested that he be referred to as JD (formerly J.D.) Vance, his preferred (chosen) name.
A couple days back, James called Kamala "phony."

You can't make this stuff up. So I didn't.

But it is weird.

Hey I’ve seen this before! Keep it up! 😊

The makeup is actually kinda cool. It could symbolize that you are deeply upset (hence the lines coming from the eyes like tears) about the divide (the white line down the middle) between the parties (red and blue tears for Republicans and Democrats respectively). All while using red, white and blue to represent the country overall. It's good graphic design.

Their hats tell me that that was not their thought process, though.

Even a broken clock is right at least once in a while.

finally trump haters and trump supporters have something in common: both think he's a nazi

16

The religious one is the worst. Just a bunch of hucksters and frauds worshiping an amoral con man. What's with the weird touching? Is this some laying on of hands thing? Or do they just want to touch the golden calf for good luck?

15

They're praying for him. The power of JAY-zus comes down through them and pours out of their hands like a magic spell. Sometimes they'll anoint their heads with oil, but I imagine that wouldn't be good for the bronzer so of course he didn't let them do that. Because sometimes magic spells have physical components along with their verbal and somatic components.

Cult

Weird.

You missed the one guy earlier with the Trump tattoo

8

Absolute freaks.

Not weird. Not normal. Just evil. Sick. Stupid.

This what the forefathers of America wanted, right?

What’s going on right side middle?

It is fairly trivial to assemble a collage of any group, that depicts them in an unflattering way.

If you do publish an averaged sample collage of this group, let me know.

- Sometimes the collages just make themselves

(Rewriting my original comment since I think it came off wrong.)

It's absolutely cultish behavior. I can't imagine devoting that much of my life to some random dude that clearly doesn't care about me and is obviously authoritarian.

I do want to add though, I strongly dislike this format of "look at all these weird people," followed by a collage. I see it used all the time by the right when they attack marginalized groups, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community (think this post, but "Not weird, totally normal LGBTQ+ people" with photos of those people who go to family-friendly intended pride parades in kink gear, stereotypically unattractive trans people who don't pass, etc.)

I see this sort of thing all the time, and it really contributes to a higher level of divisiveness in conversation than I think is necessary. It leads a lot of people to think all or even the majority of Trump voters look like this, when in reality, most of them are random people in the suburbs that just want lower taxes. (and think the Republicans will actually give it to them instead of just cutting taxes for the rich)
