    Why is it always my president or not my president with these people? It’s not a sporting event, there are teams but not the ones they’re thinking of

      Politics is football teams for them. It doesn’t matter what is being done, it’s about who is doing it.

      They believed that Obama would try to become a dictator because they assume that others think the same way they do. The goal is for your team to dominate and win, and you assume that the other team is playing the same way. Big part of why “every accusation is a projection.”

        Yup. And they think it’s R v D aka The Left. Reality is it’s Obscenely rich v. the rest of us. They’re just pawns on the rich side

      In this case its his president because he thinks trump thinks and cares about him. Cause trump is a racist bigot.

      Its right up there with the bumper stickers I saw that said “I want MY country back!”

      Guess the race, gender and age of the driver of that car - Bonus points to guess the type and design on the cap they were wearing.

        I once saw a “I want our continent back” bumper sticker, Native Americans have the best shit posts. Also I fully support this idea just help me kill the English aristocrats, oligarchs, and dissolve the UK and we’ll have a deal.

          I was in grad school for Anthropology and one of our Archaeology profs had a “Reunite Gondwanaland” bumper sticker on his car. One day we were stopped at a red light and a guy in a lifted truck pulled up next to us and yelled “yo man fuck Gondwanaland!”
