Posted by PhoenixSagthis has stuck in my head and I think is the secret to winning respect. I realize I'm playing the victim rn, but I think I've been "put in my place" so often (hence the username) that in person I try to present as humble and desperate-to-get-along as possible. so certain people pick up on that and take advantage bc I'm worried about what they think instead of being guarded and waiting for them to prove themselves to me. hard to change habits/adjust personality but you gave me a breakthrough fr.Posted by MidAtBestPosted by PhoenixSagPosted by MidAtBestPosted by PhoenixSagPosted by MidAtBestPosted by PhoenixSag
I also have quite serious appearance when I want to, so it makes even the boldest ones uncomfortable to make such move on me and I use this the most in while at work. I'm casual ofc with my colleagues cause we're all very close, but with visitors I'm always dead serious but also polite.click to expand
Posted by StardustmoppedI'm the complete opposite. I'm literally begging to be turned into a meme so I have a chance at not only running, but winning against JD Vance in 2029.
I don’t know how to photoshop but I tried to compare my real face and AIs interpretation of my face. It does a good job with my head shape.
Don’t turn me into a meme. I have dead brother issues and it’s my birthday month.
Posted by StardustmoppedLet's be clear here. There are NO ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT PEOPLE IN A GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE ALL ESTABLISHMENT BY NATURE. What people like Bernie Sanders are, are people who want more accountability and reform for the general people AS IT SHOULD BE. He's literally trying to do the job that he signed up for, working for the people. He's STILL establishment. And YES, Trump supporters DO think that he's ANTI-establishment which is fucking HILARIOUS. This dude had or has a fucking gold apartment and is a purported Billionaire and they think he's exactly like them and hates the government because he eats McDonald's and talks shit about the government EVEN THOUGH HE'S THE FUCKIN' HEAD OF STATE LOL. They think that's big brain, not just making us look like fucking fools on the international stage.Posted by Solo
BTW FUCK BERNIE FOR THAT SHIT. I was so disappointed when he went along with the DOGE shit.
Another thing, why are people saying the temp DOGE "agency" is the same as the USDS? It's not. Those are very different things.
People fell for lies.
I was with another Trump supporter friend last night. He said “I don’t know if the Republican Party will recover from this”.
The Trump supporters online act like they’re not regretful or too proud to admit it, but they are. Even if it’s just quietly to their friends and family.
Another thing I learned or kind of confirmed what I’ve seen/thought. The Trump Republicans really see themselves as anti-establishment lol. That’s how Trump positioned himself to appeal to them. I understand why Democrats are not considered anti establishment anymore. They lack a backbone and instead of pushing for bold progressive solutions, they just compromise and adopt the moderate or conservative leaning policies to avoid backlash and uphold or even expand Republican led policies. But I find it interesting that they think Trump is lol. I saw through that persona before he was even elected the last time. Bernie, who is actually anti establishment even fell for it. And now I’m getting a clearer picture of how/why other people did. Joe Rogan and Elon are/were also big anti establishment. I disagree with Argus that Bernie sold out by changing his mind on Elon. He realized what was happening.
Do you know who also pretended to be anti establishment to create a new authoritarian establishment? 🙃🙃🙃
I’m looking forward to watching the History channel when I’m an old lady to see this all laid out.click to expand
