      I think this is a reference to the movie 300, where there is a line “this is Sparta”, but I never saw the movie and also it doesn’t make sense.

        It also reminded me of that. But the weird thing is that Sparta is the one we were supposed to root for, in the movie. So why would the Trumpists write Iran there? Maybe just stupidity once again?

          lol that’s why I added “also it doesn’t make sense.”

          Maybe in bizarro opposite world, the Persians are not the Persians. We are the Persians and the Persians are the Spartans. Therefore they say “this is Iran” and then also lose to us (us being the Persians) and in this twisted remake it now follows the plot line 🤷

      Not directly. He serves Russia, which has interests in increasing Iran’s influence on the world stage.

    Hold up, in the background there’s a Greek soldier holding a flag that says This Is Iran? What? So that’s saying that the Greeks and therefore Donald Trump are on Iran’s side? What the fuck? I mean I know it’s silly to look for coherence in anything related to him but still.

    When Americans see this, do they feel proud of their elected leader? I can tell you what the rest of the world thinks about him.

      His close base sees the gun and goes RAWR, I LOVED THAT MOVIE.

      75%+ aren’t loving it, 60% are against him and 10% just want the economy to stop doing a nosedive

      As a Pennsylvanian I saw the writing on the wall leading up to the 2024 election. I grew up in a very conservative household, and my parents are still very pro-Trump. His reelection destroyed me, despite it seeming inevitable. How can a large chunk of this country not only not feel shame from this, but actively encourage and enjoy it?

        Because your country is broken, and uncivilised

        Stupidity is celebrated and worldliness and curiousity are viewed with fear and suspicion

        Oh, and then there’s the hatred

        But what do your parents say to those kind of posts? I’m genuinely interested. It’s so bizarre to me.

      1/3 of the country thinks he’s the best thing to ever happen to America. They eat this stuff up.

      1/3 of the country thinks he’s somewhere between a national embarrassment and an existential threat to our constitutional democracy.

      1/3 of the country is apathetic about politics and cannot be bothered to give a shit over way or the other.

        And most all of the country can’t afford to do anything since most are a couple paychecks from homelessness and depend on their employer for healthcare.

    Remind implies he learned literally anything in the first place. He doesn’t have the cognitive oomph to wipe his own ass, it’s amazing he can speak at all tbh.
