Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

Also they ordered it for the whole restaurant and assumed all the turds would be in other people's bowls.

Very well put.

…icky, too. 😜

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 47 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Then they wrote a review: "Turds in my soup! I was told they would only be in brown people's soup! Please do something about this! This is still my favorite restaurant though, would definitely eat again."

mmmm, turds 🤤

“I mean, I know I’m brown, but it’s supposed to be in the other brown people’s soup.”

As a non-American, it's like sitting in a regular restaurant trying to have lunch but the entire place stinks like shit from the Turd Soup Restaurant down the street.

[–] bobjones1665@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

As an American here, it's sad to see world wide that you all are watching us eat turd soup and then are asking for the franchise to expand to your country.

And then looked at the rest of us shocked about the turds and asked us why sleepy Joe made us all collectively do it.

Source for the quote. To clarify, this was from February 2025, although this quote is evergreen enough that it doesn't make much difference.

Then they blame the turd in the soup on the democrats and lefties. Meanwhile the turd brags how people are eating his shit up.

[–] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's the standard "my enemies are so unbelievably stupid that they can't do anything correctly and are utterly incompetent, but also they are smart enough that they are sabotaging us at every corner in ways so sophisticated no one can prevent it." Somehow this actually works long term...

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 37 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

The analogy is a little too nice though, maybe. It'd be more accurate to say they placed an order for "the turd soup that kills brown people, Muslims, and trans people, when I eat it" -- and when they noticed their targets weren't totally annihilated, they asked for a 2nd helping.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Pretty sure they assumed they wouldn't be eating it when they ordered it, they figured they were ordering it for the people that liked things they didn't like

Its white supremacy - There are plenty that don't regret theur choices because they are either still unaffected because they are closer to the white supremacist ideal (affluent, non marginilized white men) or think they will soon become those men (temporarily embarrassed non marginilized white men that aren't afluent) or they think they are the exception to the rule (tokenized minorities and white women, gay white me, etc who are only tokenized as long as they are useful).

I wish we could raise white people's class consciousness and sense of solidarity with all working people

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree with a lot of what you said but the fact is 46% of Latino voters chose trump too. The fact is the billionaire owed propaganda machine is very effective at keeping us divided and distracted

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Millions of black and latino voters choose Trump. Latinos tipped the scale away from Democrats.

But there is a long bizarre history of immigrant groups immediately shitting on other immigrants.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Because Democrats don't give a shit about working class people, and use marginalized people as tokens. "You'll vote for us because Republicans actively hate you." Seriously the amount of contempt Democrats seem to have for their own base is alarming.

So Latino voters vote on other things, like abortion. Being mostly Catholic this tends to split that group up. Moreso because the DNC refuses to support down ballot Democrats that don't go hard for abortion.

I ordered the TURD SOUP and all I got was TURD in my SOUP! I HATE eating Turds! It's INHUMANE to eat TURDS! Would DEFINITELY Order Turd Soup AGAIN!

-LITERALLY Republican Voters!

[–] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

How were they supposed to know there were turds in it?? There were NO indications!

I was talking to someone and they said "oh man this person Trump worked with turned out to be an evil scammer. So did this person. And these 20 other people. And also Jeffery Epstein." I'm like huh wow he must just be really unlucky then! No other explanation!

Love Colbert, amazing guy. But he is mistaken.. Elon Musk hacked the election in key states for Trump.

I am not an American and I know my opinion is worthless but Elon Musk is a giant piece of shit that should be (word that starts with "exe" and ends with a very nice "cuted")

[–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My guy, you're giving Elon way too much credit and the United States citizens not enough.

Donald Trump is the president we deserve and definitely the president we voted in. Un-fucking-fortunately.

Even if there were skullduggery, which I don't doubt myself, the statement is still the same. They ignored the warnings it was turd soup first time, got it, hated it, but tried to order it a second time thinking it'd be better. We got milquetoast instead and they then wanted the soup AGAIN and now are complaining about it again.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

I love watching people get what they deserve. But I worry we've created a world where its not possible to change your stance on something or admit you were wrong. Like something from the Art of War that says you shouldn't surround your enemy completely or they will fight harder since escape isn't an option. Even if you don't intend for them to escape, merely thinking they can wont cause them to fight as hard.

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I mean yeah but the dude rapes children so he needs to be in prison. The ideal answer would have been for his parents to have raised him better but that ship sailed a long time ago.

Art of War is a little inapplicable here because in that book, there's an assumption the enemy isn't out to destroy the whole world, but trump really has no qualms about destroying everything if that's what it takes for him to keep his freedom despite his horrific crimes.

They don’t want to escape, though.

They’re in a prison of their own design.

I'll say: it really seems like that call is coming from inside the house. Lots of former conservatives can get by in leftist spaces by just not being a conservative when asked about their opinions. If you can laugh at who you used to be you can absolutely be a reformed conservative. Maybe you have to be a few years removed from who you used to be but I've seen it, I know people who have gone through exactly that and they're as left as anyone now. Mostly because being a leftist means engaging with and being in the normal world.

But if you're in a conservative environment even the smallest dissent can be seen as fully treasonous. It spirals into hysteria and we see how conservatives have to live in an alternate reality to stay in the in-group.

Do keep in mind that Trump still enjoys something like 90+% approval among Republicans. Some people remain convinced that they like turd soup.

[–] raze2012@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

it's dipped these days to "only" 81-82%. Which is a big drop, but still way too damn high. Propoganda is crazy.

The supposed "independents" are where his numbers truly cratered. Basically drove his entire approval rating since Democratic approval started at like... 6%.

Half was ok with turd soup as long as liberals got turd soup too. Owning the libs was priority. The other half thought they were ordering turd soup for the others and not them, and then were surprised when everyone gets turd soup.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's hard to feel sympathy for Trump voters in general, but certainly there are some specific Trump voters who might deserve sympathy.

Just as some people are raised racist, homophobic, etc. but change their tune once they actually meet some POC, LGBT people, etc., there will be people out there who have just absorbed general vibes of "Republicans = good economy, Democrats = bad economy" from everyone in their lives and never experienced anything that made them question it. Some people are well-intentioned, but... really dumb and oblivious.

I think we're missing an opportunity to flip a lot of people blue with the "I told you so" vs "welcome to the real right side my friend"

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 43 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Except we were seeing the exact same sentiments from trump voters in 2018.

Trump voters are literally the scorpion in that stupid parabale where everyone drowns.

Absolutely. I see this mentality "they never care until it happens to them" a lot, and I get it and was guilty of it myself, but an effective political movement needs to be able to welcome people regardless of background.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 12 points 3 weeks ago

We need justice to heal. If we don’t get justice for these last ten years the good parts of this country will never trust it again. Would you rather republicans feel less offended or would you rather those that actually make up the bulk of this countries economy feel as if their time on this planet is useful? I’m tired of my side throwing me out like fucking trash because an ugly ogre of a right winger is crying because vaccines are expected of them and they don't wanna. I’m tired of them destroying everything good that we do because they believe bullshit.

Quit punishing good people because some fucking dumb fucks are crying.

[–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 12 points 3 weeks ago

In these threads we're not really speaking to those people who have e seen the light though. We are collectively mourning what has been lost, and "we told you so" is a somewhat satisfying outlet.

They voted Republican because they were shamed and insulted by the right. They desire to be put in their place by strong individuals. This is the key yall are missing. We need to prove strength to them not accept them.

I have sympathy for Trump voters in the same way that I have sympathy for the mentally handicapped.

That being said, I don't hate the mentally handicapped people. I do hate MAGA.

[–] remon@ani.social 7 points 3 weeks ago
[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, but it's like the restaurant decided that everyone else wanted turd soup regardless of what they had ordered. So much so in fact, that the stench is now permeating into the neighboring coffee shop and chip truck.
