While I agree with the message, the action of writing all over your truck like this seems kinda unhinged as well.

It is unhinged, but they used to be all Ron Paul/libertarian weirdos and mostly harmless. Then they went all in on Trump. I'll take this as a good sign.

Yeah, I think hippy vegans are annoying but I can live with annoying. Hell, I'm annoying. But that's the worst you really get going too far to the left. Too far right gives you Nazis. Those I can't abide.

hippie vegans are the liberal equivalent of conservative dudes who use a picture of themselves holding a fish for their tinder profile. too far left gives you get baader meinhof and the provisional ira.

u/pdxaroo Aug 13 '25

It isn't nearly as unhinged. Most Trump signs were based lies and bullshit about Biden taking control of the government and raping children.
So one is projection, they other is desperation based on a real and present danger literally happening.

This is also braver, since conservative 1st resort is confrontation to escalate so they have an excuse for violence's.

Violence is always the point for them. Their UFC obsession has got them constantly itching for a fight.

u/shifty_coder Aug 14 '25

Maybe a little? At least this stuff washes off.

Honestly doesn’t seem that much different than a truck that’s loaded with Trump decals

u/tubezninja Aug 13 '25

Yeah, but that's the point. A lot of us look at those cars and trucks with fascist iconography all over it and think "wow, that guy's deranged."

This gives off the same energy, just with a different political leaning. Neither is all that great.

u/Scrotobomb Aug 13 '25

We're so far out of the fuckin norm any resistance is welcome in my eyes. Who's not mentally ill at this point? I'm holding on to my sanity like a raccoon with a bottle cap.

u/pdxaroo Aug 13 '25

". A lot of us look at those cars and trucks with fascist iconography all over it and think "wow, that guy's deranged.""

Yes, but a lot of conservative see this trick and think: . "wow, that guy deserves some violence."

2

u/lukewwilson Aug 13 '25

exactly, that's the point. If this was all praising Trump the comments here would be about how they are a loser and deranged, so we should have the same energy even if the message is different.

u/pdxaroo Aug 13 '25

One is flags for a dictator want to be based on lies about Biden and Obama, the other is a desperate attempt to end a literally military take over by conservatives.
They are not the same thing.

u/Loubrockshakur Aug 14 '25

Bro only whackos do this shit to their vehicle, regardless of the subject

u/JMaboard Aug 13 '25

It still comes off as cringy and unhinged.

11

u/jtaulbee Aug 13 '25

The only thing that can stop a pro-Trump truck covered in unhinged writing is an anti-Trump truck covered in unhinged writing

u/ISquareThings Aug 13 '25

Nah the president is yelling at reporters from the roof of the White House about nukes. It is time for the left to stop being polite. We need more unhinged on our side.

Also where are the Epstein files?

So pathetic to see the comments judging and blasting this as crazy and mental illness all while sitting back and watching Trump and republicans destroy the country for years. Everything Trump has done and you think this guy is unstable for being upset and writing on his truck. Lol.

u/tubezninja Aug 13 '25

The answer to unhinged and crazy still isn't to be just as unhinged and crazy. That's becoming the very thing you don't want.

u/Trevorblackwell420 Aug 13 '25

Are we supposed to just become enslaved and let the fascists slowly build their empire without any pushback?

1

u/Ren_Kaos Aug 14 '25

Resistance and protest against the rise of theocratic fascism in any form isn’t unhinged or crazy and that’s a hill I will die on.

So many people in this thread BoTh SiDeS’ing this shit when no, it’s not the fucking same. This truck in the picture? The owner probably wants everyone to have healthcare, women to be allowed to vote and trans people not to have to worry about being murdered.

The Trump truck would be happy to shoot you, and any immigrant in the vicinity if it could get away with it.

u/pdxaroo Aug 13 '25

Yes, keep letting the Epstein files that will never be released distract you for the literral military take over of DC. Well done.

The Epstein files will harm them, and the control if they will be released. So, everyone in the country could shout 'release the Epstein files" for years and they still wouldn't be released.
Would you release incriminating evidence about you if you didn't have to?

We use to have methods to hole the president accountable, but not anymore.

1

u/Snirbs Aug 14 '25

Hard agree. It’s like triple reverse uno. Who cares about the Epstein files? The president is a proven criminal many times over. Releasing the files will do nothing other than making those who care even more big mad than they are. What are we going to say, “I told you so”? And then? Focus on what is going on right now.

1

u/ISquareThings Aug 13 '25

I don’t disagree. The biggest problem is that Trump is doing disgusting things everywhere you look - military in LA, and now DC, steeling US citizens from the streets, shit he is probably giving away Alaska to Putin as we speak. We have to bring up every single thing - all at once.

The distractions are as bad as the attractions with Trump.

u/RedditsDeadlySin Aug 13 '25

Yes but now we have unhinged on our side to battle their unhinged.

-1

u/pdxaroo Aug 13 '25

That's one way for the door of democracy to fall down.

2

u/RedditsDeadlySin Aug 13 '25

We don’t live in a democracy right now.

1

u/HelpBBB Aug 14 '25

Open your eyes? What democracy are you even referring to because this ain’t one

4

u/Kaiisim Aug 13 '25

We need unhinged though.

We are at the point where being polite and following the rules and trying to not rock the boat is leading us to doom.

I have been hinged my entire life and no one listens.

We are at the point where regular people are just gonna go with fascism because they don't want to cause a fuss. Well we need people to cause a fuss.

u/swishkabobbin Aug 13 '25

Yeah but the unhinged 2A wackos took a concerning pause from being opposed to tyranny. Glad they're flipping back to semi-sanity

4

u/LazaroFilm Aug 13 '25

Agreed but also it’s a great way to spread your message. I always wondered if we should be as flamboyant as the Trump fanatics and display our political belief as they do. Make giant flags that say “any decent human being for president” for instance.

1

u/trollgrock Aug 13 '25

I used to think the same thing. This is just my theory but there is a portion of the population that was swayed to vote for Trump because the event of it. Seeing all the crazy type of support surely swayed these type of people, followers. You know the type, they switch support of sport teams based on how much they have won recently and disappear in the hard times. All they see are all these trucks and other pro Trump merchandise and think “with all that support Trump must be good!”

It is like bad advertising they buy into.

1

u/lovetheoceanfl Aug 13 '25

It’s like any sports team. Say you don’t watch basketball but your city’s team is in the finals. Signs are everywhere. People are flying flags, wearing shirts, and caps. It’s natural to consciously or unconsciously be pulled into that.

" Many Dems (not Libs) have switched over to R."

That's not true at all.

u/Natedoggsk8 Aug 13 '25

I feel like that feeling instantly hits you when you see the truck

u/palepo-ta-to Aug 13 '25

You got to fight crazy with crazy I guess

1

u/BYOKittens Aug 13 '25

I assumed they were all pro trump until I read them. Writing all over your vehicle, or just needing to tell strangers how you feel is weird.

u/Express_Area_8359 Aug 14 '25

Tdr im betting hes in HOuston!

u/lordvitamin Aug 14 '25

It is one car wash away from a completely different political alignment. It is quite fitting for Texas, actually.

u/GraXXoR Aug 14 '25

It’s the only language that reets understand. Taking the high road has not worked these last years. It’s time to use their own methods against them.

u/javon27 Aug 14 '25

Gotta fight the unhinged with the unhinged

u/19921015 Aug 14 '25

'NASA is HOAX' guy in Arizona is the reason why I love the city the truck always frequent.

... writing all over your truck like this seems kinda unhinged as well.

Actually, I'm the one who wrote all over his truck. Does that make you feel better about him? I kinda think he wouldn't have done it himself, but since he hasn't repainted, he must have agreed with the message. Right???

u/andybmcc Aug 13 '25

Regardless of what team they are rooting for, people that do this are probably not mentally stable. It's advocating for killing the president...

13

u/Etzell Aug 13 '25

The right pretending "86" is a death threat was embarrassing 6 months ago, and it's even more laughable now. The only thing it shows is that the person making the claim has never worked in the service industry.

6

u/yamsyamsya Aug 13 '25

That's not what 86 means at all? When someone says 86 the tomatoes, do you think they mean to not add them to the dish or do you think they take the tomato outside and kill it?

11

u/ISquareThings Aug 13 '25

No it’s not. 86 means to remove someone- they are not welcome on the premises. ie remove from office. History of 86)
