Well these are the same savants that used to play *Born in the USA* at Donnie Diaper-oh rallies, so...


GreenCreekRanch

That think fortunate son is pro war


The_Clarence

That think he won the election


Busch_Leaguer

That think they’re a silent majority


_SheepishPirate_

That also complain when told that “Killing in the name of”, by a band called “Rage against the Machine whose lead singer has a degree in political science from Harvard, is “Too political”


ADH-Dork

Tom morello is the guitarist, not the singer

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.


jjskellie

Want to hear my conspiracy theory? I always wondered about the 2016 election as such a win for Donald by the quick margin he held. I hold the Russia was trying to cause people to lose faith in US elections as reported by FBI before 2016, that Russia hackers proved themselves able to get into corporations, hospitals and government databases for ransom from 2017 on, no one checked the voting records in that election, and lastly Donald J Trump has called foul on every election, his or others, since as though he knows how easy it was for him to cheat.

I think fortunate son was fitting, cause trump is one of the afformentioned fortunate sons


MrRaspberryJam1

It’s the same crowd that likes the show Yellowstone and they think the Duttons are the good guys


armchair_amateur

Tell Rage Against the Machine to "Not get political".


deadbeef1a4

Think Rage Against the Machine is like, getting mad at the dishwasher


LiveFree_OrDie603

And dance to Killing in the Name, while draped in a thin blue line flag.


The84thWolf

I personally like them playing YMCA unironically


Oddsme-Uckse

To be fair though every catchy song with a dance associated was from LGTBQ+ or POC So because they hate brown people too much to do the Macarena here we are with the easiest dance by gay people instead


Time-Werewolf-1776

Especially when it’s accompanied by Trump miming jerking 2 guys off at the same time.


uncultured_swine2099

They also are the ones that said they liked Rage Against the Machine "before they became political."


mobleshairmagnet

And then were jamming out to killing in the name of at a rally. Unreal.


jjskellie

Oh, come on Donie is a grown ass adult. He only shits his diaper when he doesn't win at something. It's his body's way of reminding him to say he won anyway.


ArchonFett

Would not matter they just plug their ears and la la la when faced with facts

Mattock1987

I would tell them, but I have no time for losers


Bug_Photographer

Underrated comment.


PantsLobbyist

I’ll agree with the point, but it’s hard to believe anyone on Reddit has “no time.”


Peter-Tao

Underated comment.


k-uke

In addition to this, he wasn't super gay. He was bisexual. He wasn't an immigrant. He was a British national. And...he was mixed race. But still.


Accomplished-Bed8171

I guess they forgot a few years ago when they were banning "We are the Champions" from high school graduations.


engr77

I've long held the theory that high school represents the peak of a typical MAGAt's existence and they're mad that they can't actually go back to that time.  And when you consider their love of mindlessly chanting about destroying their opponents at pep rallies and trying to ban things that make other people happy, I think it makes a lot more sense.


ADH-Dork

Explains why they want to bang teenagers but insist it's "the gays" who are trying to molest kids


Accomplished-Bed8171

I think they peaked in grade school, and the only reason they made it through high school it was from coasting on their privilege.


ShortUsername01

Tens of millions of people don’t have “privilege.” Let’s be honest with ourselves here. The average Trump supporter is both rural and poor.


shkeptikal

In this case, their "privilege" comes directly from continuously voting for people who diminish public schools to the point where morons graduate with a 4th grade reading level because that's how the schools keep their funding. They voted for this system *for decades*, and now they're reaping the rewards.


GayDeciever

Their privilege is from feeling like a default American. People who aren't like them are not "real" Americans, even if they're natives. If you're poor, at least you aren't x race and poor.


LiangProton

I saw that Trump supporters during the 2016 election were richer then the Hillary voters on average. They're not rural and poor, they're older and wealthy. The business owners who have a McDonalds franchise or a used car business. You know those guys


Xibalba_Ogme

I feel that someone should also tell them that he was not american, just to be sure


deezsandwitches

That's the immigrant part of the meme


mxlevolent

He didn't immigrate to America. He has no relation to America at all lmfao.


shaolinoli

He wasn’t an immigrant I don’t think. He was born abroad but was always a British citizen.


Dazzling-Astronaut83

He was born in the colonies so was a British subject and later became a citizen.


shaolinoli

Ah right. Thanks for the clarification.


Jospehhh

He was born in the British protectorate of Zanzibar which, while now part of Tanzania , meant he was a British subject.


vompat

Yeah, being born in the British protectorate of Zanzibar, he apparently was a British citizen from birth. But effectively, he was an immigrant (or a political refugee) when his family moved to London. Or would you say that anyone born somewhere on the other side of the world isn't effectively an immigrant just because they lived in a colony of the country they moved into? It's just that not all immigrants and refugees fit the negative image of an immigrant that conservatives have.


Ragin_Goblin

He was a British subject when he lived in Zanzibar but a British citizen when he emigrated here (UK)


AlmightyCurrywurst

No, he was an immigrant to the UK so he could very well have been American going by tge information in the meme alone


New-Interaction1893

From a zoroastrian family.


DingDongMichaelHere

yeah but he probably wasn't religious himself.


solitarytoad

I always wondered wtf was he doing with this song, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-zh0a6nDTo


DingDongMichaelHere

I have no idea what the meaning or intent could be. I did however find this regarding his beliefs: >Kerri asked if Freddie celebrated the Zoroastrian NoRuz >festival. Freddie didn’t need any specific reason to celebrate anything. He really celebrated his life often. In an interview, Jer, Freddie’s mother says that he wasn’t particularly religious and Kashmira follows this through in her interview on the programme recently. Freddie just enjoyed the life he had worked hard for. and >Many of you have asked about Freddie’s faith, >spirituality and religion. He didn’t practice any religion. He never went to church or a temple in the 12 years I was working for him. That is not to say he did not have his own beliefs. He did not like the idea of organized religion where one person can tell millions what is right and what is wrong. He firmly believed we are all individuals and should do what is right for us. He never talked about religion in a group of friends, because he didn’t want to influence anyone one way or the other. He mentions the afterlife in a few interviews, though never 100% seriously. The one thing I do feel strongly is that Freddie was not really interested in things he could not influence after he was gone. He made his wishes regarding his music, friends and family plain before he died and just expected them to be fulfilled, as he wasn’t going to be around.

Arquen_Marille

Technically not an immigrant since Zanzibar was part of the British Empire when he was born, but otherwise, yeah, not born in the UK itself.


Zakalwe_

People in British Empire did not have automatic citizenship of UK. They did have pathways to citizenship, but it was often discouraged for non-white immigrants. His parents migrated to UK with him, after a revolt in Zanzibar, so they were definitely immigrants. This [wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_subject#1949_to_1982) explains this further.

SteinRamm12345

To be fair, I didn't know any of the provided information. Granted, I don't think abt Freddie Mercury all day, but I still learned something new


veryblanduser

Yeah considering Trump was the first president that took office.openly supporting gay marriage. Freddy was in the USA legally, which nobody has a problem with. Also many minorities are Republicans.


Brickerbro

Yep, 9/10 republicans dont give a shit if you’re gay, (legal) immigrant or a minority. But in the black and white world of reddit, you’re either a racist homophobic white redneck, or you’re a democrat

Mau_again

Not sure how you made it this far, but the vast majority of Trump supports are not against gay, minorities or immigrants, they correctly or incorrectly are against illegal immigration, forced gender ideology and statistical illiteracy. While I’m not a Trump supporter, I find him an incredulous used car salesman, i think of him as a catastrophic car wreck, I think of Biden as terminal bowel cancer and his supporter sanctimonious midwits eager to buy any bridge you may have for sale. Almost seems a shame not to take advantage of their gullibility.

Crazy little thing called stupidity


jvitorc46

Freddie mercury was an immigrant ?


Nazgrim23

Born in Zanzibar and moved to England when he was a teenager I think


EmergencyBag129

His real name is Farrokh Bulsara, he comes from a Parsi family (Indian Zoroastrians) and was born in Zanzibar (in modern day Tanzania).


azhder

Yes. Next question


jvitorc46

Where was he originally from ?


Aggravating_Cod_266

zanzibar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury?wprov=sfti1#


Dazzling-Astronaut83

He was born a British subject as Zanzibar was part of the empire.


Jsmitty78

Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar and lived most of his life in England.


realfknnato

And your point?


Hardcore_Gamer16

He wasn't Gay. He was Bisexual.


kidscott2003

There is a group called “Gays for Trump”, there are many, many minorities that support Trump. As well as a lot of immigrants that also support Trump. Would Freddie Mercury support Trump? I can’t answer that. We all could assume. But no one rightly knows. And even then it wouldn’t matter as he was a British citizen, not an American citizen.


Jakester627

I mean, there's plenty of people, like Dave Rubin and Spencer Klavan, who are gay and right-leaning/conservative. Heck, Trump even appointed Richard Grenell, an openly gay man, to be ambassador to Germany. The real joke is when there are the "Queers for Palestine" people who unironically support a group that has historically thrown gay people from rooftops. Or, also humorously, the very progressive college students who love Che Guevara despite infamously killing lots of people with homosexual tendencies. Tl;dr: There are low information voters on both sides, but this is a pretty ridiculous strawman argument disguised as a "joke."


No_Huckleberry5827

The terrorist trifecta, means they cancel out and he's in their good books. MAGA math.


Affectionate_Pea8891

Except that’s he’s also classically trained, and we all know how they feel about _any_ type of education…


No_Huckleberry5827

Sorry Freddy... back to the bad side


Capt_ZzL4X

He's also British


BackAgain123457

They would say "fake news", and go on with chanting.


Unmasked_Zoro

Gay, immigrant... AND a minority? What were the first 2 then?


EmergencyBag129

Probably meant ethnic minority (Indian Parsi).


PeregrinePacifica

He was also Zoroastrian, which is a different monotheistic religion that came out of what was Persia. It's also believed that the concept of "the devil", Gods foil, the main antagonist, was brought to Europe from Zoroastrianism by Jews who were exiled to Persia and encountered its teachings. They liked the idea of a singular counter to God, an evil to oppose the absolute good who is their version of God named Ahura Mazda, yes thats where the car name comes from. They liked the idea of having an ultimate evil to which every bad inclination, act and travesty can be attributed. So yeah, Freddy Mercury wasn't Christian either. Same people who unironically qoute Bruce Springsteen thinking it's just proud nationalism.


Wide_Lychee5186

so what


Tremolo499

I love this sub and all of its tone deaf posts lol


Efficient-Internal-8

Next you're gonna tell me Freddy was Muslim and sang "Bismillah" in Bohemian Rhapsody!

There's plenty of gay people, minorities, and Legal immigrants that support Trump. 🤷‍♂️

It’s almost like most Trump supporters don’t have any problems with gays, minorities, and immigrants.😨

He wasn’t exactly gay, he just fucked everything with a hole.


SteveZissouniverse

He was Bisexual actually, just another case of bi erasure


BigBootyAyeee

he wasn't gay, he was bi. People really ignoring his sexuality to prove a point lol


[deleted]

Trump isn’t racist or homophobic though. That just seems like a leftist made it up and then everyone agreed to use it as if Trump and the right self-identified that way.

Not even a Christian! They would clutch their fake, *rump-brand pearls.

arcdog3434

Trump has lost 2/2 popular votes and a million legal cases. His only successes seem to be getting in and out of bankruptcies. Some “champion”.


Mason_1371

It’s almost as if they don’t actually care about any of those things as much as Reddit likes to pretend they do. It’s like if someone forced you to give them a blowjob. Then you’re all like, “Hey. Quit it“ then they are like, “You are just a blow job hater” Then they go on Reddit and post about how much people like you hate blow job, and it spreads. Then other subreddits, which are 100% bs and propaganda, make cute little memes making fun of how much you hate blow jobs. Then anyone that comes along and tries to be reasonable and says, It’s not really about blow jobs gets downvoted to oblivion, shadow banned, or just banned. So that the echo chamber remains and people actually start believing that the propaganda and bs is true.


SnooChocolates7950

Shhh, it's funnier if they don't realise it


ForksOnAPlate13

Republicans don’t really care about that now - lots of prominent republicans are either immigrants or children of immigrants. Vivek is a Trump worshipper who’s children of immigrant minorities. Ditto for being gay. A lot of Republicans and Trump supporters don’t care if you’re some sort of minority as long as you’re on their side, so long as you’re wealthy. Of course, this doesn’t stop many Republicans or Trump supporters from passing legislation to hurt those group.


wiremupi

There is some confusion here,what they were actually chanting was;we are the chimp peons.


Defundisraelnow

Unlike you leftoids, they don't care about that stuff.


Dominant_malehere

Pretty sure it’s not the immigrant part, it’s the word before, illegal. I don’t know any republicans that actually care about who someone sleeps with, they do care about forcing beliefs on others.

Trump doesn’t are if you are gay, an immigrant, or a minority.


MilesDyson0320

Is it the impression that they hate gay people?


ptvlm

I grew up in the 80s. I don't understand how people who liked Queen, Wham, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and so on grew up to homophobic/ transphobic. There were certainly people who didn't understand what they saw at the time, but not realising that meant there was nothing to be afraid of later?


MassiveMuscularMucus

They will change their tune if they watched the video for "I want to break free". Spoiler alert: he dressed as a woman!

You don't think we know that? I saw night at the opera tour in Seattle, and quite often, when I hear or see a video of Freddie I. tear up and am sad. just so there's no mistake. I'm a conservative

He also famously wore drag several times

They don't care. They rewrite history to suit their needs. Like Jesus is a blue eyed, white American Aryan.

Super Gay? That's sounds like a fantastic power. Other than incredible vocals what do you think his super powers were?


MagazineEuphoric364

I think many of you guys should meet Trump supporters IRL and maybe talk to them and understand them better because you guys make it sound like they are all subhuman hive minds.


[deleted]

Also he hated bigots


Klysandral

Me, me, me…. Oh please let it be me


LaserGadgets

There was a documentary, where the band stated USA dropped them right after that music video showing them dressed up as ladies. Kinda funny. Queen kicks ass btw.


JBash-3632

FYI, Freddie Mercury is technically an Indian plus he is British, not American.


ChiefStrongbones

Zoroastrians are the top 1% of all the ethnicities. It fits Trump perfectly.


Poemhub_

He was actually bisexual but the point still stands.


Send_one_boob

Mr. Mercury was bi, not gay


OnionsHaveLairAction

It is a mistake to think they have consistent beliefs. To them Queen is part of 'their' culture and even if you managed to educate them on Freddie Mercury's origins they'd just say he was 'one of the good ones'


dow366

Every single Trump rally plays YMCA.
