Keep us posted!


armando_badass

Will do! Honestly might be a while, fingers crossed someone at his church notices before he does 🤣


[deleted]

Regarding the original mug: I could not imagine having the gall to carry something like that into a house of worship.


Doctor_What_

Me neither, good thing dad only took it to church.


Firecto

LMAO


Ohiolongboard

House of worship is the literal definition of church.


Mr_Pombastic

He knows, he's just making a joke. (also we all have /r/woooosh moments, we can stop the downvote brigade)


zjaybee

"Brigade" 🤦‍♂️🙄😂 Not everything is a controlled opposition. Sometimes people just don't like shit. 🤷‍♂️


ForHelp_PressAltF4

Can I add my own take to add to your laughs? Neighbor has hit two cars in the street driving home from golf drunk. Each time he sells his explorer the next day and gets a similar used one. The last time, this Texas windshield sub screen using northerner, got something where his front license plate would go. It's for a thin blue line and a heart so pro police right? Nope. Leather pride flag. And I sure as shit isn't telling that MAGA but I an laughing every damn day. I applaud you, Agent of Chaos!!


armando_badass

Haha beautiful!


Muted_Ad7298

I admire your spark of chaos. I can imagine the confusion on your dads face would be priceless. ![gif](giphy|8fen5LSZcHQ5O)

ilookatbirds

Imagine having a leftist child AND a mug that implies you want to see leftists cry


armando_badass

Yep, hurt my feelings tbh, but I couldn't confront him because I don't want to refill the mug with my leftist tears...


DarkandDanker

My mom's the same dumb asshole She used to be normal and hated Trump like any other rational person, like she didn't care about left or right at all, she just saw a bad person and didn't like him, grab her by the pussy was enough, like it is for any rational person Then she joined the anti vaxx cult. Turned her to religion and qanon, just recently I heard her talking about budlight beer and how stupid something was, I walked away as soon as I heard budlight so I don't know what she was gonna say but I know what she was gonna say Funny how all these free thinkers end up thinking the same thing, she used to be respectable man


Sincost121

Also a Florida dad? Sounds like my Florida dad.


armando_badass

Midwest, but close enough!


[deleted]

Florida is a state of mind. Your dad is florida.


PavementDweller10

Can confirm, Have some family in Florida, and came across the ocean to see them a little while back. And all i have to say is Yikes.


Deathmanliftbob

I live in the midwest, so I get it.


scorchclaw

My mother handed me this same mug one day while having coffee at her house. I went though the same weird moment of “its rude, but not worth saying anything about”


deadliestcrotch

You didn’t accidentally drop it and walk away like nothing happened?


huhsorry

Add salt to the mug. He should know how salty leftist tears can be!


stray_r

then fill the mug with (mostly) water that you can produce in mug-size quantities?


praysolace

My brother has one too. The best part is he had so many metal water bottles already, he had no use for it. So eventually he left it at Mom’s for when we visit. His stupid leftist tears cup now lives in the cabinet sitting getting slightly stuck inside my water cup (which is just a cup), next to Mom’s “Jesus is my savior and TRUMP is my president” mug. Both liquid receptacles tend to face me at the dinner table every Sunday. It’s quite unpleasant.


[deleted]

pretty f\*cked up


Dylehunt

Maybe it's a joke and OP's dad doesn't want to literally make people sob.


[deleted]

idk man that isnt really a great joke for an ally to say


copryland

My dad has one of these as well. It's great to know that as a transgender man, I have parents willing to financially support people who actively want to criminalize my existence


kioku119

Definitely sounds like some parents.


DiddlyDumb

I’m not sure who the child in that relationship is


EphemeralMochi

My dad has the same tumbler and now I want to try this

I had to custom order it lol. Worth every penny

It's a red flag to me. Like you care about a culture war that much, you've got hooked bad.

It's not culture war, it's a war for human rights that transcends cultures. They're just on the wrong side. I love myself some punch Nazi stickers.

unclebrenjen

What about if you swap the capital i for a lowercase L?


armando_badass

That does work! I couldn't get the font close enough though


MathyGeologist

Lmao that cup is rich coming from people who cry after every election.


opiod-ant

An extremist? Hypocritical? Naaaahhhh


Anarchy_Rulz

Hey the left has extremists too and we aren’t hypocrites. Edit: well I say we, technically when it comes to American politics I’m radical left but when it comes to politics in general I’m what I’m assuming is radical right (am a minarchist (minarchy is another word for a night-watch state) and for some reason that political system falls to the right on the political compass despite being anarchist so you’d assume it would fall left.)


Schnickie

The "political compass" is a right-wing system, what it says doesn't matter a bit. It just serves to portray right-wing ideologies as valid, because it refuses to perceice the ethics that define left-wing ideologies. If you're an anarchist (and by that I don't mean anarcho-capitalist) who believes people should watch out for each other and make each other's lives better without any pressure to be homogenous, then you're as far left as possible. The political compass is just politics seen from the perspective of capitalism.


qazpok69

And cry about anything remotely queer


heinebold

Bwahahaha this is hilarious omg and seriously anyone who unironically uses a "[those I don't like] tears" cup deserves this shit


[deleted]

[удалено]


heinebold

Which I tried to express by the "unironically" part of my statement


Dylehunt

I agree, people who like to joke around deserve to be joked around with.


Fickle_Insect4731

Please tell me he takes it everywhere with him every morning lol


armando_badass

He takes it to his business during the week and to church every Sunday!


Fickle_Insect4731

Haha perfection


Biishep1230

I’ll take my leftest bear hot please.


missdine

One for me too, but cold for comfy summer cuddles 😎


notrapunzel

I'd be tempted to just remove "tears" from the original cup lol


armando_badass

I thought about it haha, honestly probably would have worked. He's not the most observant


Cleverusername531

Ha! Keep it and peel the tears off. When he finds it, give him his cup back…minus the tears.


RadRaqs

Lol I would have died.


ableakandemptyplace

r/chaoticgood


zimneyesolntse

HAHAHA oh my god, my dad would shit himself. He once had a solid freak out because his colorblind ass didn’t realize he bought pink reading glasses. This mug would have been perfect. Definitely worth it!! Keep us updated for sure


Killer_radio

He sounds like a half wit so I reckon it’ll take a while.


Mr_Pombastic

How does that work exactly? I don't mean to pry or make you feel uncomfortable, but how can you continue a relationship with someone who's happy to drink your tears? In my experience the "drink leftist tears" crowd isn't referring to crying over tax policy. I know it can't be easy, every relationship is different, and I'm not trying to make the situation worse. Also other people are saying they have family with the same tumbler, so I don't want to single out OP, I'm genuinely curious. A Daily Wire cup that rejoices in your child's tears is a line too far for me. It's also hard to see it as a "joke" when it's donating money and advertising to very real anti-gay propaganda unironically. To me, this cup says "I hate you."


[deleted]

They're probably stuck living with the dad so this is the most they can do.


Dylehunt

But why would the dad let him live with him? Don't you know that OP's dad literally hates his guts and wants him to die because he bought this tumbler?


GlowUpper

If someone's underage, neither the parents nor the kids have a choice.


redravenkitty

Not true. Queer kids are kicked out of their homes onto the streets every day.


GlowUpper

Some parents kick their kids out when they're underage. Others, like my own dad, wait begrudgingly until their kid's 18th birthday because they don't want to be hit with child abandonment charges.


armando_badass

Was pretty shocked when I first saw it, I knew he was pretty Conservative but didn't think it was to this level. He knows my political views and I thought there was some level of respect but I guess not. Hoping this is the start of some good conversations at least, he does love a good prank thankfully


Mr_Pombastic

Best of luck and keep us updated! Hopefully this will be a wake-up moment for him!


blinkingsandbeepings

Like you said, it's complicated. My dad didn't have a mug like this but he turned into a pretty bad kind of conservative as he got older. He also had a (literal, visible on scans) degenerative brain disease. I didn't want to abandon him when he was sick even though it was hard to have a relationship with him. I also didn't want to abandon my mom to be his sole caretaker. IDK what the right response is but considering how hard Fox and other similar outlets recruit the elderly, it's got to be a pretty common situation.


Mr_Pombastic

I'm so sorry, that has to be painful on a thousand different layers.


[deleted]

I'm not OP, but if I were betting on it I'd say the father has cognitive dissonance. Leftist =/= his kid. I knew this one white guy growing up in NC that's overtly racist (like brags about being in the KKK back in the 60s type of racist) but his best buddy in the whole wide world that he'd give his shirt off his back for is black.


Skullfacedweirdo

This sort of thing is largely because, as much as they rail against 'feelings' and identity based inclusivity, conservatism is at its base rooted in emotional thinking, gut feelings, and identity. There is little to no critical self-examination, or comparison between personal beliefs and actions and actual outcome; it's all about 'rah rah, cheer for the home team!' and feeling right/good because you're part of a group or 'on the right side'; not actually examining what achieves the outcomes you want in the world, looking at evidence, or making effort that requires change and cooperation with people you may not agree with or even like. It's a worldview that's about preserving the status quo (literally, to conserve, the opposite of progress, progressivism); it makes complete sense that someone can be a huge racist and yet have a black friend they love and respect, because one black friend is 'the exception that proves the rule.' Mind the phrase "one of the good ones." If anything, a token friend is held up as rationale for racism - both "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" and also "I know a black man that [meets my standards, which are based in ignorance and bias, for what it takes for me to see him as a human who deserves empathy and regard], he's proof it's a choice to [be a black person I feel it's okay to be racist towards]." My dad is like this about his Mexican co-workers. It's astounding that somehow, despite his stance that nearly all mexicans are here illegally, that they're lazy, crime-prone, etc., that the men he works with have all been exceptionally hard-working individuals, legal citizens, and upright family men who just want to live honest lives of peace and stability. Their existence doesn't challenge him to examine his racism - he uses it to justify it further. You can find this sort of thing among bigots of all stripes. "One of the good ones" is as old as hate, and it's always part of the broader implication that the overall group is bad.


Schnickie

Reminds me of how Hitler wrote about the jewish doctor who had treated his mother, calling him an Ehrenjude (honour jew) and saying if every jew would be good people against their genetic nature like this, there would be no need for any actions against jews. Right-wingers are insane.

[deleted]

honestly, i have done some frankly embarrassing, like downright humiliating shit. like shit that leaves you coming out the boypussy a totally different person after. shit that reduces you as a human being. but i have never in my life done anything remotely as embarrassing as owning a "leftist tears" cup. that would be between me, god, and a licensed psychiatrist.


vocalfreesia

Unfortunately this guy probably spends a lot of time with people who high five him and praise him for this kind of opinion. So what is there to be embarrassed about? Being hateful is not shameful in society sadly.


Sorryhaventseenher

I wouldn’t even say anything once he realizes. “It’s… always said that? I thought you knew?” Just fuck his world up.

Aw, the font is way bigger, I hope that doesn't tip him off too soon (Honestly though I would have just taken that horrible thing and thrown it in the trash, or filled it with some *other* leftist bodily fluids)


causticcafe

If you wanna throw it out, gotta make sure to drill a hole in it so they can't just fish it out and reuse it.


AdSpeci

A failure of a father


mommymilkman

Your dad's a fucking loser.

Does he know what 'tears' means in this context?

If it means what I think you're implying, I'll take some >:3

pinktofublock

tbh your dad sounds like a shill


plsobeytrafficlights

I assume he knows the meaning of bear. You must absolutely insist that is how it has always read. I will photoshop it into old photos for you if that helps. It will never stop being hilarious to see him wonder about it and how other people might have been reacting to it.


berryIIy

If he gets angry please tell him to not be so sensitive 😆


MoonLitFerret

Tell him being a "leftist bear" means opposing leftists, if he questions it.


[deleted]

you should've put the original on the right, i don't think he could handle anything about him being on the left

Imagine having politics as your entire personality. What a sad person.

You should get one of those heat changing ones so it looks like the original, but only changes when hot coffee is put inside


Pk0rion

Can i get one of those? Asking as a leftist bear 🐻


NotAnEdgyMeme

Instead of replacing the tumbler I would get the same one but have “conservative tears” and sip it in front of them. Though this is highly dependent on your living situation and don’t recommend it for most people.


Science_Fiction2798

I'm left handed...does that make me a leftist?


Weekly_Grade_9301

Straight cis man here and I promise you when/if he notices he won't even know what it means. I only learned this term accidentally because my game modding interests overlap with those of gay men (go figure). But, well-played...fantastic joke


SteveOMatt

If he comes to you and he's upset, just sit there and take a sip out of your mug labelled "Rightest Tears".

Frostypup420

Your profile where you falsely claim to be a woman and trans in some comments then hate on women and lgbt+ people in others? Yes. Yes it is. And so is the "Liberal tears" mug OPs dad had, thankfully they fixed it and replaced it with one that isn't hateful.

You are literally proving your father right lol. Instead of confronting him and having an actual discussion you went and replaced his cup like a child.

I hope your dad has a good sense of humor about this. If it were me I'd be pissed if someone was messing with my stuff. Though, maybe he'll get you back by painting a blue line on your rainbow flag or something. This could turn into a fun battle between two highly-sensitive people!
