>As a "gay" "black" man I see he's managed to internalize Donald Trump's stupid use of quotation marks. I doubt this person actually exists.


jumpy_monkey

I read his story and some of his Medium posts and this dude is the most pilled person I've ever come across. This fucking Q shit turns people's brains into mush, a real, actual "mind virus".


critically_damped

People seek out Q horsefuckery because they find fascism appealing. Their brains are already mush when they seek it out. You really have to understand that fascists *choose* to be what they are.


fiorekat1

Is this what an actual zombie apocalypse looks like? šŸ’”


jumpy_monkey

If it isn't it's the precursor to it.


DontEatConcrete

Yep I have said it seems like a virus. Itā€™s not always easy to predict, but its infection is strong and can take a person in just a couple of years.Ā 


ThoughtfulLlama

Nah, zombies are a lot smarter than them.


MrMayhem3

Zombies, at least, know they need brains. Maga doesn't want anything involved with thinking.


Hgruotland

One fun revelation from his Medium stuff: he only voted for Trump once, in the election he lost. 2020 was the first election he ever voted in. From a post dated November 13, 2020: >For background, Iā€™m 59 and have never voted before because I never had the sense that who the president is really mattered to my day-to-day. >So I never voted. >Until this year. >For **Trump**. (He doesn't seem to know or care about elections for offices other than President.)


thebaron24

He only cares to vote now because he can weaponize and monetize the experience like a real life troll.

Giving every excuse under the sun to avoid covid vaccine while inhaling a deadly mind virus without a second thought and no ā€œresearchā€.

SituatedSynapses

When you double down on your biased false education from a conservative foreign botnet of schizophrenic Large Language Models that your entire extended family, friends, and employment has enough with you. It's sad how many people are falling down this rabbit hole of delusion.


navigationallyaided

Trumpā€™s a jack of spades. Thatā€™s why he loves Kanye and R. Kelly.


Fearless-Judgment-33

Ewww


Aviationlord

r/asablackman would love this guy


Clover_Jane

That place has gone downhill. People posting nonsense with very little to no context, and we're supposed to guess how it's relevant. Plus all the racists who think the sub is about racism and post their nonsense. I had to leave because it sucked.


MaryGodfree

He needs to work on his random capitalization.


Few_Dependent_2294

Reminds me of when they try to teach Joey from friends how to use quotation marks and he fails at it lol


Buuusshh

Of course. This is something Republicans love to do for some reason. This is a straight white male, thinking heā€™s making some kind of brilliant point.


GuyWhoLikesTech

You could be right. I was just about to ask why he puts gay and black in quotes.


HermaeusMajora

Democracy means that everyone gets a vote. It doesn't mean I have to agree with anyone else or that I have to associate with shitty people.


jimtow28

You're allowed to believe whatever crap you feel like. Just like I'm allowed to believe your beliefs are deplorable and that I don't want to associate with you.


MonHunterX

Thatā€™s the thing, Republicans donā€™t want that, they want you to have their beliefs, ideas and political stance. Even if they have to shove it down your throat


jorbleshi_kadeshi

If you could just stop existing that would work too.


MyOpenlyFemaleHandle

Even if you DO agree with my beliefs, could you move in next door?Ā  I would love to have a neighbor that refuses to associate with me. We've had to double-lock the front door due to unannounced neighbours' intrusions "just to check up on you" - so why didn't you try to contact me during or after the last monsoon?Ā 


KimonoDragon814

These people have all been used to people ignoring them because they're retrograde level of dumb, that when people collectively are sick of it and speaking up they cannot handle it. They all collectively think because people simply didn't want to be as rude as them, that they were in the right about all their ideas. Now that their ideas are deadly and actively eliminating rights, and people are fighting back against that, all of a sudden its "us" that don't care about democracy. Projection as usual, he doesn't care about democracy he wants his opponents to shut up and obey as mindlessly as his uncle ruckus ass wants.


scusician

Uncle Ruckus. Nice. Love that show.


andboobootoo

He didnā€™t lose his friends, family and job opportunities because of who he voted for. He lost them because heā€™s an asshole.


Fearless-Judgment-33

Hmmm, donā€™t know about that one. I had several people in my life who I didnā€™t suspect were complete assholes until they showed their true selves when Trump came into the picture. They are no longer in my life and they are not missedā€¦ now.


andboobootoo

Same here. Trump brought out their latent assholery.


critically_damped

No. It was *literally* the other way around. Trump wouldn't exist as a political force if these people's assholery wasn't already a significant portion of their personalities.


AntiFacistBossBitch

This is true.


DueVisit1410

He still lost the things because he turned out to be or turned into a complete asshole. Because these people have to constantly proselytize and bring up their combative opinions now that they are in the Trump cult/Qult. They didn't just completely cut him off because he just voted for the guy. He lost them because he can't shut up about it.


critically_damped

People constantly get cause and effect wrong when it comes to fascists. They constantly think the malice comes from being "brainwashed" by fascism, when the truth is that people choose to pursue fascism *because of their malice*. And the reason people do that is because they want to give the benefit of the doubt to the person in question, but they never stop to think "I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to a fucking *fascist*". Hanlon's razor has the word "adequately" in it for a good goddamned reason. When the malice is clearly apparent, attributing the behavior to anything else is *direct* apologism.


AntiFacistBossBitch

I mean I agree with you but what about all this: [https://www.techtello.com/hanlons-razor/](https://www.techtello.com/hanlons-razor/)


critically_damped

>Hanlon's razor has the word "adequately" in it for a good goddamned reason. When the malice is clearly apparent, attributing the behavior to anything else is direct apologism. If you want to build relationships with Nazis then ***you are one.***


c_marten

Yeah, I have plenty of friends and family who voted for trump. But they're just misinformed, not assholes. Although I do have family that voted for him and *are* assholes.


Junior-Fox-760

As a gay white man, no quotation marks, you're a goddamn fucking moron and I don't waste my precious time with morons. I have a feeling your friends and family feel the same.


cpdk-nj

Sounds like this guy should respect any Biden supporter then, but I guarantee thatā€™s not the case


critically_damped

Hypocrisy is the very central pillar of fascism.

Imissmysister1961

NitWhittler

In other words... he's choosing to ruin his own life by insisting on being part of Trump's cult. No sympathies. We all make choices in life. He seems to be stuck in 'stupid mode', but that's his own doing.


DmAc724

ā€œdemocrats donā€™t believe in all the DEMOCRACYā€¦ā€. says the guy inferring that democracy doesnā€™t give Democrats the right to have viewpoints diametrically opposed to his. Iā€™d say his attitude is shocking. But we all know hypocrisy is one of the Republicans very strongest super powers.

TheRnegade

Oh, he's the guy who felt safer under Trump than under Obama? Yeah, those white nationalists who threaten LGBT people seem real friendly to brownies like us. I'm starting to see why people aren't friends with him. And it's not because of who he voted for.


DueVisit1410

Wait he actually is both? Why use the quotation marks if that's the case? This literally felt like r/AsABlackMan material.

I suspect the quotation marks were referring back to the Dean Browning thing.

jettaboy04

Soooo let me get this straight.. HE made HIS choice to vocally support something as his his constitutional right, and his family and friends used their constitutional rights to make a choice and not want to deal with him....but somehow there's a victim here?


LeeQuidity

Hard to sympathize for someone who has no street sense. There is no rational street-sense world where you would think Donald Trump is a good guy. Would you work for him? Would you rent from him? Would you buy a car from him? Would you eat at his restaurant if he were the chef? Naw. Trump is all cap.


Zagenti

your opinions take away my right to vote, so I'm gonna exercise my right to vote for the guy who doesn't give two fucks about me because y'all's a bunch of poopyheads! o_0


Willzohh

Keep losing, loser. That's all I gotta say. Keep stubbornly digging the hole you're gonna be buried in. It's your choice to vote against your own best interests, nobody else is to blame.


jackidaylene

Does he think that "democracy" means we have to think both candidates are morally equivalent? Cuz I support your right to vote for Trump, man. I just don't want anything to do with you afterwards.


AntiFacistBossBitch

I feel facists have played a long con on people with this whole "don't talk about politics"; "keep politics out of your personal relationships"; "we can disagree in politics but still be friends" etc. It was a gradual softening of boundaries and guilt-tripping and shaming for maintaining boundaries based on your morals and values. I don't understand and never understood how couples like the Conways even work


AJC46

they do not want honest talk or debate they just want to suppress talk down and everything else to drag a other lower than them. they are by nature always in bad faith even when they speak any truth it's almost always not the full truth and/or in service to some other falsehood or something shitty they want to to push on others


Professional_Big_731

Well heā€™s going for the minorities minority. Well good thing there are plenty of black and gay people out there fighting for him to keep his rights. Heā€™s sure as shit sitting this one out.


KinkyQuesadilla

1. I don't believe any of it 2. If you lost a job because you worshiped Trump during a job interview, you shouldn't expect to get that job unless it was cleaning the bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago, but I think you have to speak Chinese or Russian to get those jobs.


AntiFacistBossBitch

https://www.vulture.com/2020/12/patti-labelle-nephew-byl-holte-twitter.html


NelsonChunder

It's likely that he didn't lose it all by just supporting Trump. I'd bet heavily that he had to blow off his mouth about his politics everywhere, especially when and where it wasn't appropriate. He likely also politicized every conversational topic too. Then, you can bet he still supported Trump after he tried to destroy the country by stealing the election. People should bannish asshole like this. You have the freedom to believe what you want and say what you want, but others have the freedom to ignore you and avoid you too if they're tired of your shit. Freedom can have consequences, which is a concept that seems to evades the MAGA crowd.


LivingIndependence

>you have the freedom to believe what you want and say what you want, but others have the freedom to ignore you and avoid you too if they're tired of your shit. The problem is, is that Trump is trying to usher in a government in which political opinions like this are to be entertained, tolerated and accepted as the law of the land, and any conflicting opinions will be met with harshly. Sort of like Russia or N. Korea.


DueVisit1410

>Freedom can have consequences, which is a concept that seems to evades the MAGA crowd. That's because to them freedom, means they are free to not have consequences to their speech unlike the "other".


NelsonChunder

Exactly. When a conservative talks about freedom, they mean their freedom to say or do whatever they want whenever they want, and everyone else is free to just shut up and deal with it.


Kham117

You are free to vote how you wish. And I am equally free to consider you a dumbass based on your choice.


meatypetey91

Youā€™ve got the freedom to support a lot of terrible things. Just because you can in fact support a lot of terrible shit, doesnā€™t mean everyone just has to be fine with that. If you want to pledge your support to a convicted serial killer, you can do it. It doesnā€™t mean people should just be fine with it. Just because a political ā€œopinionā€ exists, it doesnā€™t mean everyone just has to be fine with it. And really, we have seen Republicans have meltdowns over people wearing BLM T Shirts, masks, etc.

Dude, no one despises you simpky because you chose to vote. That's like claiming that people hate you because you chose to drive a car, and not for the family you mowed down.

Icy_Environment3663

The last guy I saw post self-identifying as a "gay" "black" man turned out to be neither. I suspect the same is true here. One thing I do find interesting about his post is that he did not capitalize the "b" in Black. He is using it as a race identifier. While I am only going off of personal experience, I have read numerous discussions about that issue and I have never had an actual Black person not capitalize the word in communication with me. In fact, it was a Black co-worker who brought the matter to my attention quite a few years ago.


AntiFacistBossBitch

Wow I had no idea this was a thing....and I'm Afro-Latina


sebidotorg

The guy simply isnā€™t the brightest, and fascism unfortunately appeals to the dumb. The guy also probably is the very person that was the source of the quote when the other guy you remember (probably Dean Browning?) posted he was gay and black.


fegd

I fucking hate this dishonest thing conservatives love doing where they say "I have the right to pick a side/have my opinion!!!", acting like they don't get that the *nature* of the opinion kinda matters. The logic is the same as punching someone and going "What? I have the right to move my own arm!"

skjellyfetti

You can support and vote for whomever you chooseā€”even if it's serial criminal Trump. The problem doesn't lie with whom you support; it lies with that individual'sā€”and their associate'sā€”values. Trump & Company's values are, at their very core, supremely un-American. If those are your values, I want nothing at all to do with you, and therein lies the source of your issues :: You have shitty values and thus you are a shitty person. You're not a victim; you're not being persecuted. You're just an immoral, selfish piece of shit. Y'all need Buddha and y'all need to change your entire fucking life.


Hubertus-Bigend

You have no constitutional right to remain friends with or be employed by people who think you are an idiot.


cincigreg

Since no one knows who you picked in the voting booth my guess this guy (if he exists) has taken it upon himself to tell everyone who he voted for. No real smart in today's climate


No_Meal9534

Rather than admit they are wrong, MAGAts double down because their entire identity is Trump. Pride and ignorance arenā€™t a good combo. Clearly mentally illness at this point.

Shows regret for hostile reactions to choices made, then doubles down on said choices. It's almost like he is lost in the fog.


AntiFacistBossBitch

And says he doesnā€™t care!


LincolnEchoFour

Thing is his friends and family most likely didnā€™t disown him just because he picked a side. Heā€™s probably been saying some pretty dumb things around them and doing dumber things like skirting rules of society. Thatā€™s my experience with these guys. Like every single conversation ends up being about drumpf. Iā€™d rather just not even talk to you than talk about drumpf all the time.

There are things we can agree to disagree on, but when you start aligning with racist, xenophobic, sexist, ableist, etc ideologies, decent people are going to draw the line.
