I just picture someone with a legitimate ear injury having to go to Walmart and getting praised and followed around like Brian from "Life of Brian".

"No I'm not a Trump supporter, I just nicked my ear doing yard work! Stop following me! Go away! Leave me ALONE!"

— You are all individuals!
— We are all individuals!
— I’m not.

Pop a vote blue sticker on it, confuse the lot of them.

I was just about to reference the waving of a sandal from Life of Brian lol. These people in the picture are a few gourds short.

It also came to my mind.

The same people couldn't wear a face mask to save the lives of their relatives.

The level of projection when calling others sheep.

One of those things that always boggles my mind.

Edit not you that I'm replying to, but the people IRL that called people sheep.

I haven't been keeping up with the news much, I know about Trump's ear but... Is the top image for real, are people actually doing this in the US?

You have to understand that these people are clinging to anything they can use to identify others who are in their in-group. MAGA hats, diapers, and now ear coverings.

Cults do the same thing and for the same reason.

There was a movie in 2008, "the Wave" (German: die Welle) about a teacher who wants to show his class how easily it is to start fascism by just let everyone wear white shirts for school.

It's the symbolic items from the same tier or color to identify a group, which makes it dangerous.

It’s the same virtue signaling they make fun of others for doing.

If a TV drama did this with a Presidential candidate who had a cult-like grip on his followers to the point that they wore the same bandage as him, critics would say it was too on-the-nose.

I didn't think the MAGAs could find a stupider fashion accessory than those dumb, red hats but somehow, they found a way.

Trump wears a bandage, they follow.

Trump wears a diaper, crickets.

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They actually wore diapers for a quick minute there.

After the murder attempt, I’m supporting Trump
