I don't like to make fun of where people live, because everyone has different circumstances. But it is severely mind-boggling that people who do live in rural, less economically-inclined areas think that a narcissistic, city-slicking conman has their best interests in mind. This person may remain in that mobile home forever while Trump and his cadre of billionaires continue to siphon them for every penny, and that's depressing.
Yes, but they both share fond memories of racism and other forms of bigotry.
Before Trump went off on Obama and immigrants he was the East Coast Liberal™ these people loathed. I could maybe see younger folks being fooled, but FFS, did no one know what Trump was like in the 80s and 90s?! He was America's laughing stock. The man released Trump, The Board Game and the entire country laughed our ass off.
Bloom Country, easily the finest snapshot of 80s America, ended in 1989 with Trump buying out the comic strip and firing all the characters, so unseriousness and ludicrous all we could do was laugh.
Anyway, if anyone wants to know what America was really like in the 80s, Bloom Country is readily available online. And here we are with the air traffic controllers, AGAIN!
Depressing but not undeserved. These people have some less than altruistic reasons for electing the con man.
*Some of these people. Many have been outright deceived, and many others (people living in trailers, I mean) are and have long been fully opposed to all of this lunacy.
Not some. All. We all got to live through his first term and the failed insurrection with the Jan 6ers. The fact they voted for him a third time is proof they didn't care about any of that.
This assumes that we're all receiving the same information about what all's going on, which is very definitely not the case. Literally watch 5 minutes of fox news and compare what you hear to the actual events they're contorting. The difference is basically immediate and painfully obvious. That is only one of a countless many arms in what is one of the most wide-spread and thoroughly controlled propaganda campaigns in history.
We all lived through the first term, but some devious steps were taken to ensure that different groups were receiving very different coverage. This is getting harder for them to do now that the consequences of their lies are starting to outwiegh the lies themselves, but many of these people were and are still being fed bold-faced lies right along with the same kind of propaganda that literal cults deploy. The sort of mind ganes that are used in order to prevent their victims from ever individually coming to the conclusion that something is very fucking wrong. They are running near-every inch of an information ecosystem that traps their victims by making them completely repellent to the sane, effectively isolating most of them from the people that could otherwise help them see reason.
Many of them understand whats actually happening and are going along because of the hate within them. But many others are being manipulated through well tested and well documented means, which are being deployed in a novel way (via these high control/high volume digital ecosystems) and on a scale that we have not yet had enough time to learn how to properly combat.
They are basically breaking people down, isolating them, and driving them into a useful simulacrum of insanity, if not outright madness. It is a mistake to forget the shades of grey and the humanity that underlines every decision made, both among the perpetrators and the victims alike. If the goal is to do what's right rather than punish anyone and everyone who wasn't perfect to your standard, then these distinctions really and truly matter. Some of them need rehabilitation, and others need the full brunt of what these rotten choices should earn them. They're just not a monolith.
Classist
But being poor is how you know they’re wrong! 😑
If one wanted a generous interpretation, it could be pointing out the irony in a poor person advocating for the interests of the rich that keep people like themselves in that position.
I believe that is the entire point of the meme that Lemmy lefties missed
Let’s ignore that low income people are more likely to vote for Democrats, or the underlying classism inherent in using the size and value of someone’s home when it comes to determining if their arguments are worth listening to. Somewhere there’s a guy like that, so let’s just make him the symbol of all of them!
Minus the political signs, this looked pretty similar to my childhood home. Regardless of what OP intended, how do you think it feels for people who actually did grow up in an old trailer to see stuff like this?
I think the meme is classist because it directs anger toward the people living in the pictured low-income housing. People who have the least control over the forces shaping their lives. Meanwhile, the billionaire class, who paid a hefty and blood-soaked price to keep them uneducated and inundated with right-wing propaganda, escape scrutiny.
Don't get me wrong, the people in that picture probably suck. They're more of a symptom tho.
So Democrats too right? Considering they're generally laser focused on the urban professional class and maintaining existing market dynamics with a big push on things like student loan forgiveness that would give zero assistance to workers while largely hanging them out to dry whenever labor disputes pop up. There's not a party that represents these folks interests so they default to identity politics. Byzantine chariot race politics at least had patronage that meant supporters were getting some sort of gain.
Hey, ain't nothing wrong with a trailer home. My dad just bought one for his first home he's owned in his 60s.
Its either that or this and nothing in between
(This is a picture of one of elon musk's houses)
Where he grows his backup organs
Wow a massive ass McMansion with no thought placed into the architecture. That tracks
Seriously, dude could have an actual castle but he has this lame ass thing
That's because he's a humble man /s
I'd rather live there than the apartment I am in. 🤷♂️
At least I could see nature from my bedroom window and not just a wall.
I'd live in a shack in the woods before an apartment. What an awful way to spend one's only chance at life.
Aw man, they own a home too? 😅
Talkin bout, "you got tds man"
These people are so dumb its infuriating. Because there is no, I mean zero reasoning with them. Its like talking to a wall. "Abortion should be illegal " idk man, if your sister had aborted you then we wouldn't be in this mess
That house looks sweet! Cool tree right there, plenty of nature, even a ramp. My appartment is less ada compliant than that.
Also this post is some middle class bullshit.
I'm not anti-trailer. I lived in more than one, including a trailer park.
I'm very anti-dogs being neglected, with chains around their necks, tied to trees with 6 foot leashes, etc.
I can't do much about it maybe, but I can definitely close you in my car door rather than giving you an Uber ride, asshole.
Yup, but he owns it without a mortgage, probably owns the land it's on, and his taxes are half of mine. So...
I grew up in a trailer and I would not recommend them to anyone. They're poorly manufactured with cheap materials and begin showing wear and tear quicker than the average house.
So they own a home too? More than i can say of 'libtards'
In this market? Can't blame 'em. If that's what it takes to have a space to live, so be it.
There are a LOT of people who would love an upgrade to ANY home.
No, that's his grandma's house.
It's either this or a giant brand new home in a manicured gated community, there is no in between
Well, I can't afford even a small house in the foreseeable future and that trailer looks cozy, except for that TRUMP poster. Ngl, now I want that
Y'all have houses?
Counter point, smaller houses with more green space would be a great thing overall.
Needs at least 2 more broken down parted-out pickup trucks or cars, several dozen Trump and America flags, and much more random junk all over the lawn. Bonus points if none of said vehicles or junk have moved in years.
Having looked through towns on Streetview in states like WV, I've seen a lot of trailers and homes like that.
Some Reddit mods live in no better places. 🙃
You think I give a shit what the home of those that use "libtard" seriously looks like!? (Assuming we're not talking about the over the top, bootlicking signs of adulation for a politician that hates them that adorn so many MAGA households)
