    I mean… Can’t they come up with something better than his head from the side? It’s objectively not a very attractive image from this angle right? He can’t look in the mirror and really like it, right?

    I guess I already have my answer from the various comments.

      I defy you to find any angle that makes TurdNugget look attractive enough to put on a lapel pin.

      He has no best side whatsoever.
      If you flip to the other side it’s the same.
      If it’s from the front then it’ll be a pin that’s akin to an over inflated orange balloon with a neck pussy.
      From below, more neck pussy.
      From behind then it’s just a view of his bad hair transplant.
      From above, more bad hair transplant.
      There is just no angle that is attractive. None.

      The only way I ever actually want to see his ugly as fuck face again is when it’s lying in a coffin.
      And a pin of that would be acceptable, but it still wouldn’t be classed as attractive.

      I guess it’s meant to make him look like a King or Emperor on a coin - so it doesn’t matter if he looks like a multi-chinned potato in a wig, he looks like King multi-chinned potato in a wig.

    It’s a cult

    Seperating church and state starts by removing every Federalist Society loyalist and banning orginized religion.

      Banning religion full stop is wrong and won’t stop belief.

      However, religion should not have any special protections that other groups do not get.

      Religion should not exclude people from mandatory childhood vaccines, religion should not be a mitigating factor in vilification or defamation cases etc.

          So what, no one would be allowed to teach others about their religion?

          That’s a level of control i don’t think any organisation or government should have.

      Banning organized religion is blatantly not separation of church and state, firstly. Secondly, that’s also the government telling the public how it’s allowed to peacably gather. Thirdly, Trump didn’t rise to “prominence” solely off the back of even a single “organized religion’s” doctrine. Now Buddhism or Jainism aren’t allowed to be practiced anymore because minor, puritanical, racist sects of Christianity (and the “prosperity gospel” hucksters grifting the simple and spiritual by singing the same hymns) helped raise a dictator?

      The Cult of Trump isn’t an “organized religion” and won’t be quashed by anything less than targetted removal of Trump and people that aided him. Certainly not by hiding personal grievances in the fineprint like you’re hiding dog medicine in a roll of ham.

        Christianity is the religon that the Trump cult members are recruited from

        The religious indoctrination of children prepares them to be unquestioning adults who worship whoever can sound like their pastor.

          The religious indoctrination of children prepares them to be unquestioning adults.

          The children are being indoctrinated by their families and the right-wing media their families consume. They’re being indoctrinated by a school system that’s being gutted and defanged so they can’t help but fail to bite into and digest the hard truths about this nation’s history. This nation didn’t lose to brimstone evangelists and holiday “Christians” joining a hivemind to prop up an Antichrist. It lost to civil servants (and those that pay them) that poisoned their constituents so they could lay claim to lordship.

          I’m going to need to see numbers and polls before I believe Trump’s purported religiousity is what’s pulling even a signficant percentage of his voting bloc. More than his “good business sense”, “straight shootin”, and noted disdain for the rights of minorities.

          And that’s not circling back to any of the other stuff I wrote in my first comment, about the separation of church and state.

      Because everything that is being done is “technical.” Most “common” people aren’t really paying attention and if you were to describe to them how fucked everything is becoming it would involve describing processes the government would normally follow and then explaining the changes. Not many changes seem all that “roit worthy” when taken at face value until you understand the consequences of the action.

      Consider the provision added to the tax bill that passed the house, it would essentially make the executive branch completely immune from the judiciary, making Trump a king basically, but you’d have to explain how funds are allocated and the process of contempt. By the time you got halfway through most peoples eyes will have glazed over and they’d be thinking “when the fuck is this weirdo going to shut up?”

          Like, why does Trump’s “magick,” whatever it is, only enchant certain people and not all of us? Why are some of us completely immune to it, repulsed even, while others of us are completely captured and mesmerized by his “spell”?

          I genuinely don’t get it, and I find it baffling, and preternaturally spooky, to be quite honest.

            Really, the simplest form of this can be broken into two groups with different views in ethics.

            On one side, the whatever is best for me is the better choice crowd. Consequences for others, hell even thinking about others, does not matter, because it’s a dog eat dog world. Others are only used as a prop for their end goal. Preservation of self interest is their only true moral code, and can be easily manipulated by framing fake arguments to support the self in any situation. This gets compounded by narcissist power hungry liars that will say anything as long as it benefits them.

            On the other side, the whatever is best for society crowd. They are less concerned about great outcomes for themselves if it is at the expense of others. The rising tide lifts all ships moral code. This requires empathy, logic and thoughtfulness. Quite simply it’s waaaay easier to be in group 1, than group 2.

        … all because a group of cultists wanted to defend an aging orange idiot that never deserved any praise or recognition or ever had any redeeming qualities for anyone.

      Some people’s crisis is other people’s chance. Some people just aren’t productive - they can’t shine in a productive or just constructive environment. They are attracted by anything rotten, deeply troubled, just the kind of work where intrigues, brown nosing and opportunism are rewarded and productivity doesn’t count.
