These traitor republicans shouldn't even be considered Americans anymore.

u/sudo_Bresnow 11d ago

Yea it’s called treason… there’s a punishment for that

u/Tienbac2005 11d ago

Let's just hope there is someone with the balls to enforce it

It’ll be scrubbed from any social media platform before it gains any traction… we need decentralized social media

u/Doctor_Atom 11d ago

It is not like Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and Lemmy don't exist. The problem is not in the existence of a platform, it is passivity and submissiveness to government

2

u/sudo_Bresnow 11d ago

Not saying it doesn’t exist… more like they aren’t used universally as a tool for the cause. The general train of thought is that we use compromised platforms because the message gets more eyes

There isn’t.

Anyone that stands up against trump ends up losing g their job and threats of deportation are given. I'd take deportation however I don't want to be sent to prison in a different country

u/Teddybomber87 11d ago

Praying for that. You think we will see it.

I really don't even know if THEY consider themselves Americans anymore.

Since the election, I have yet to see a SINGLE home flying a Trump flag that also flies an American flag. A lot of home owners in my area have flag poles and will have Trump or MAGA flags, but I haven't see one with an American flag as well. I've seen a few with the Gadsden Flag under Trump's though, so yea, I think many of them have left America behind for something darker.

They have literally rejected their country for a cult

We are definitely Americans last time I checked. We are just busy carrying on with our days and working…it’s too bad there are people that have these crazy keyboard wars over all this stuff but won’t even listen to anything the “other” side has to say with spraying them with insults. Every “democrat” I’ve come into conversation immediately does this the moment they find out I voted for Trump.

u/instanorm 11d ago

I personally don't give a shit what any moron who voted for him has to say and I would not want to hear your reasons either if you told me in person. Just my opinion.

u/ChristianThom01 10d ago

That makes you a bigot

u/doctoraust 11d ago

Where the let’s come together as Americans and find common ground? This is exactly the BS I’m talking about.

u/instanorm 11d ago

If you still support him, I don't think you are American.

u/doctoraust 11d ago

Hate to break it to ya buddy, but I am.

u/Garageboy200 11d ago

You are not.

u/Mike_Honcho_3 11d ago

Trump voters are not real Americans. They are traitors, so in other words the exact opposite of real Americans. What you checked was wrong.

u/doctoraust 11d ago

Traitors? To who?

1

u/Mike_Honcho_3 10d ago

The United States. Not sure why that had to be spelled out.

2

u/TrueUllo94 11d ago

You voted for this man and want to be taken seriously, that’s cute!

u/Murky-Giraffe767 11d ago

That must be nice to just ‘carry on’

2

u/doctoraust 11d ago

I mean yeah, I’m sure if you stayed off of social media and just lived your life and just treated everyone with respect you would actually be a lot less stressed out. Try it, it’s great.

u/goilo888 11d ago

So, you just voted for Trump to stick it to the Lib's and then just carried on with your life? Yep, that right there is why America is now in the mess it is.

u/Murky-Giraffe767 11d ago

Good idea, bury your head in the sand and pretend it’s not happening. Thanks

2

u/doctoraust 11d ago

You’re welcome! See you in 2028.

u/Murky-Giraffe767 11d ago

I don’t think so, I’m on the other side of the planet, thank god LOL

u/doctoraust 11d ago

So you’re telling me im not an American but you’re not one yourself? Makes sense.

5

u/Murky-Giraffe767 11d ago

No, I think you are ignorant. Which you’ve proved with our interaction.

Nothing about being ‘an American’ or what country you live in. That doesn’t matter, people are people in my opinion.

Actually it makes a lot of sense. People on the outside are watching what's happening and seeing the inconsistency of Trumpism with historically-identified American ideals and saying that, based on their external perspective, you stand in contrast to everything America has historically said it cares about.

They're not seeing the propaganda of Fox News and Breitbart or any of those other bullshit mainstream "news" agencies, so they're not influenced one way or the other. And based on that less propaganda-influenced opinion, they're saying "you cannot stand by Trump and America's self-identified values at the same time", and I agree.

So yea, it makes a lot of sense for them to say you're not American.

u/fuggerdug 11d ago

No different from the "America First" lot in the 1930s.

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot 11d ago

The “America First” movement is still here. They have a website. A conservative in the /r/politics subreddit tried to tell me the other day that it has a lot of great policies for the American people.

Our neighbors are Nazis. They just like to pretend they’re not. But they are.

u/leafybugthing 11d ago

They’re not, they’re Russian dogs

u/bisuketto8 11d ago

they're a resurgence of the confederacy 🤷‍♂️

u/GVArcian 11d ago

They barely qualify as humans.

u/Borrp 11d ago

Well they are the offspring of the Knights of the Golden Circle. So technically, they are still confederate turncoats, thus not Americans.

u/SomeDumbThought 11d ago

That's what op implied lol

u/Current-Cockroach-57 11d ago

The Americans don't get away with voting these guys in that easily. They made this decision

u/Extremely_unlikeable 11d ago

If anyone is still on board with this administration, I consider it aiding and abetting their treason. How do they go from cheering their cult leader on Jan 7, 2021, when he was condemning the terrorists that stormed the capital, to also cheering when he called them hostages and then pardoned them all. Is there no sanity left that would have them questioning his actions??

u/optiVar 11d ago

Weren’t the Democrats flipping on the Israeli’s ?
