Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump

But these sheep can't wear masks? Give me a fucking break.

To be fair, they need the bandage just as much as trump does.
Like. A day or two after the attempt he was out golfing and didn't have a bandage or anything.
I think it was just a small nick and the blood thinners he's likely on just makes you bleed like crazy since they prevent clotting. A small scratch looks like a war wound, and would explain why there was blood everywhere but he still has a functional ear.
Like, if he really got shot in the ear, he'd be missing a part of his ear like in Preacher. It won't just heal back.
Dude got a scratch and is playing it up.
- He's a WWE Hall of Famer. I would not be surprised if he was blading.
- Trump is on blood thinners? Why?
The masks prevent them from quaffing their own farts all day long.
Well...
There isn't a fourth monkey covering its nose.
- There is, however, a fourth monkey covering his crotch. "Do no evil"

LOL what the fuck. i've never seen a more subservient bitchass group of bootlicking sheep than republicans

They really are strange.
Apparently, the other people are sheep. These are the free-thinking freedom loving people! /s
Dear God man ... this is crazy cringe.
- Projection is how Republicans roll. Remember when MAGA accused Joe Biden of wearing diapers and they found out their dear orange felon/rapist cult leader wore them instead, and started wearing them?
It's not as weird as the diapers.
- I think it's pretty close. Both are super fucking weird and pathetic.
And yet they’re the ones screeching about “alpha males and the loss of masculinity in America.”
- which is hilarious, because if you're whining about someone "taking away your masculinity," (OR if you're having panic attacks about someone else's masculinity) then you were never masculine in the first place.
- Hierarchies gonna hypocritize.
But remember, they hate being called sheep.
Just a reminder, jd vance, trumps newest vp pick, has on many occasions been quoted in the past of saying "I didn't vote for trump", "I never liked trump", and "I'm a never-trump guy".
NOW he sings trumps praises, and kisses trumps ass.
- vance is just another vapid muppet who'll get thrown under the bus the instant shit goes sideways and trump needs someone to blame for...whatever. just like all the other used-to-be-never-trumpers who are now fighting over who gets to be first to be facialed by trump
- Vance literally called Trump "America's Hitler" in a now deleted tweet.
  Also so many are Christian and say shit like "the lord is my shepard" in the same breath that they call other people "sheep."
Makes me think of the court at Versailles all pretending to have anal fistulas after Louis XIV had surgery for one.
- I’m gonna take your word, I ain’t clicking on anal fistulas.

"I'M NOT THE MESSIAH!"
- He's just a naughty boy!
- "I say you are Lord and I should know, I've followed a few"
- "HE IS THE MESSIAH!"

#NotACult

So say we all.

So they're fine with cloth on the face as long as it's completely unnecessary?

Seems everyone should have realized by now what a weak, sad, and pathetic group the Republican party is.

You mean the American Fascist Party?
- Not to be confused with the American Nazi Party. But I forget what the difference between the two is these days
- Yes, you two are in agreement. You're saying the same thing.

I can’t decide if this is more or less weird than wearing a diaper in support of Trum…no…it’s less weird…right?

Are we 100% sure they're not also wearing diapers?
- No! And that’s why I decided the diapers were weirder. Those folks had to go out of their way to announce they were wearing diapers.
  I mean what even is the point of wearing a diaper in support of Trump if you don’t tell everyone?
- I'm pretty sure. There would be no end of them telling/showing you.
Since these people aren't treating any ear injury, you might as well call these "ear diapers."
- That is consistent with their usage of chin diapers that also had no medical use.

I work in special education and give you the pass.
We call Republicans hard R's in our house... it just fits.
Brian Posehn has a great bit about it in his 25x2 special.
We're supposed to call them republicans now.
- Are we allowed to say that?

I'll give it to you, this is the most a Not The Onion post has made me go "wait, is that The Onion"?

Good job. I think.

I genuinely don't know how satirists are supposed to make a living any more.
Oh, did you not see the commemorative sneakers he's selling?
- Nah, that I believed. Trump shilling useless crap is extremely plausible.

The people that hate virtue signaling love signaling the dumbest virtues.

They like playing the victim card, then turn away from people who truly are victims.

You think if the shooter hadn't missed they'd be removing their heads in solidarity?

Correct
I think after the bandage comes off you're going to see accidental su*cides from people trying to copycat themselves
Maybe we'll get to find out one of these days.

Cult.

Sheep go baaah

best summary.

Not a cult...

This timeline is so broken. I can't believe that the USA may well vote this idocracy into power.

America:

FFS. They really are willing to eat his shit straight from his asshole.

Posers. REAL Trump fans would have a friend shoot their ear with an AR from range first.

/s, obviously. We all know they don't have friends.

How the Turn Tables

For those out of the loop:
Delegates Mock Kerry's Wounds, Angering Veterans
"Even leading Republicans said yesterday that things went a little too far when they had to publicly repudiate the actions of a delegate who was handing out adhesive bandages marked with Purple Hearts to mock Mr. Kerry's war wounds."
"The bandages, distributed by Morton Blackwell of Arlington, Va., included a message that read, "It was just a self-inflicted scratch, but you see I got a Purple Heart for it.""
- It's almost like the party has always been batshit crazy. Speaks volumes of a large segment of the American population tbh.

It’s all fucking weird.

Almost like it's a mental illness or cult... But nope, perfectly normal. You are the one that's crazy! You should wear more diapers and ear patches about that.

And Kyle Gass can't crack a mild joke about it...

As a nurse this bandage trump showed up with looks totally like it is for show only. I would bet real money, that no healthcare professional was near this bandage and it was probably a PR person who ~~sticked~~ stuck this on him.

Stuck*
- Oh no! You exposed me as a non native English speaker. What will I do now?
- Sticked:stuck::hanged:hung
I thought that too, it almost looks like a piece of telfa taped to his ear. I was hoping he'd have a glasscock dressing.
- Can't wait to see some daring journalist ask Trump in a filmed interview to see the scar. I assume Trump will classify that under the "that's too personal" category of lies he doesn't want to defend.

First diaper-wearing now this.

Imagine how mortifying it would be to have a legitimate ear injury this week.

As long as you don't tell your doctor to make the patch as big as possible like trump did, you should be fine in most cases. This looks more like the size of bandage you would get after ripping your whole ear off.

Monkey see monkey do

What a bunch of nut jobs, holy shit. They're actually turning America into a gigantic parody of itself.

.......you new here? And by "here" I mean Earth.
- I'm just surprised how they keep one-upping each other!

Not like politicians were listening to us anyway, no need to cover your ears.

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The previous verse says hand or forehead but close enough

If there is an anti-Christ, this dude has to be the closest we’ve got to it

Can we not waste medical supplies for no fucking reason?

Tbf, a few of those look like napkins from the hot dog stand

Tell me you're in a cult without telling me you're in a cult ffs!

Neon lights, noble prize, when the mirror speaks, the reflection lies

So the uniform starts with gold tennis shoes, gold diapers, and now an ear bandage. The GOP sure is putting sexy on display!!! https://www.dispatchesfromtrumpland.com/post/trump-fans-wear-golden-diapers-and-more-diaper-shirts-at-jersey-shore-rally

Tomorrow you'll be able to buy gold ear bandages for $500 a pop.
- Only $500? Are they on sale?
I would love to see someone wearing the whole uniform one day.

But are they doing it after shooting their ears with an AR-15* and my soon-to-be-sold commemorative 5.56mm Trump bullets (with tiny Trump fistbump engraving on the casing)? /s

Rifle sold separately

Best Monty Python movie.

🥾😛 "look how much we love the sensual flavor of your boots, Baddy Daddy Trump. Will you fuck our wife's next, pretty please?🔥💗🔥💗🔥💗"

shout from the back "Mine first!!!"

"You don't even need to fuck mine, just tell me she's a hog!"
-Rafael "Ted" Cruz

What level of dick sucking is this?

About 3" and Toad shaped
I was thinking more dick riding, but sucking works also.

We deserve to be wiped out by global warming

Grown ass motherfuckers behave like teenage bieber fan girls.

And they own guns and are full of hate

Emulation for acceptance. Kids do this. It is pathetic in adults.

Thank god he wasn't shot in the lip they'd have to wear masks

Absolutely ridiculous

sign of love

Sounds pretty gay to me

Ear diapers.

Imagine what it would look like if Trump was shot in the dick.

it’s amazing how much the context on this sentence has shifted inside of a week.

This might be the peak. I can't imagine how we'll ever have a more Not The Onion article.

Peak cult bullshit.

Nah, if he has a stroke and half his face doesn't work I expect a non-zero number of his cultists to have half their face paralyzed in solidarity.
You are most likely invoking a "hold my beer" moment.

Be extra careful not to hurt your ear this week, you won't be able to bandage it

It must be uncomfortable wearing a fucking maxi pad on your ear all day long.

Remember that time a bunch representatives wore bandages over their assholes because it was stylish to match Louis XIV's anal fistula bandage back in the late 1600s? Seems like they really think the have the Sun King again, the self-titled center of the universe

I came here to laugh at the ridicule of the The Onion's story, only realize, to my horror, that it's not The Onion...

I just....ugh

Are they all wearing diapers as well?

Of all the dick sucking moves you could do………… I am amazed at how eager they toss the salad.

What was that fairy tale where people disguised their faces to look ugly in order to avoid upsetting their monarch?

Sounds a little like the emporer's new clothes to me.

"Ohh oooh, Pick me, daddy! Daddy me, daddy over here, daddy!"

See monkey do monkey.

They are wearing ear diapers like sleepy Don because they too have shit for brains.

Tell me you're a moron without telling me you're a moron...

Imagine what they would have done if the bullet struck. Would they have also drank the metaphorical Kool aid in solidarity? That would have been convenient.

Their heads are as soft as their little impotent penises.

Lol

every person that has to wear a bandage on their right ear for whatever reason are probably screaming "FUCK" very loudly thanks to this.

Apparently ear bandages are the new armbands...

no, this is not a personality cult at all... nope nope nope

all I see is ear masks

Wankers....

I don't know what's dumber: This or listening to Democrats try and convince me I didn't see our esteemed president's brain melt in public on national television.

Both sides have their cultist devotees. That's how we got into this mess.

These fuckers are so tribal

Lol I bet Trump absolutely hates this

No, I'm sure he sees it as a sign that they like him, which he ravenously craves.
- A sign that also happens the be a reminder that everyone else hates him so much they want him dead
I think the only thing Trump hates is not being the centre of attention.
That and being told "no" to anything.

I'm the odd man out here. But I don't see the issue here. If the shoe was on the other foot and Biden got hit in the ear, and the Democrats did this to show support to Biden people here wouldn't deride them as they do the Republicans here.

There's many things these politicians deserve criticism for, solidarity for someone having been hurt isn't among them.

If Harris got cancer we wouldn't mock senators wearing little pink ribbons.

Wearing a ribbon is a lot different than wearing a pillow looking bandage. It feels a lot like a grift to sell product, especially if the My Pillow Guy was selling them.
If the situation were reversed and Biden was the one who got grazed I'd still mock the ear bandages, because they're stupid. You could just as easily wear an orange ribbon for mass shooting/ gun violence awareness.
A bullet nicked his ear BFD. How about solidarity for Corey Comperatore, the guy who actually died at the event?
If Harris got cancer Republicans would mock her for it. Don't pretend otherwise.

We need to see his ear

I fucking knew this shit would happen.

Lmao

Bunch of pussies. I'll give Trump credit. He actually experienced it, they didn't.

Omg! Trumpfus is Splinter! Shredder came to him later ...https://y.yarn.co/d9a957e8-eaac-4a29-9a5c-d9344416b5f0.mp4

But it didn't work! Splinter rose to the occasion. In our instance he wants to ruin pretty much everyone's lives sure, but he's in splinters shoes now lol.

Like these guys:

Why was it so hard to press the back button out of the BBC?

The fact that this was posted and there's more than one comment that's not just straight out hate is so refreshing. I switched here due to the supposed amount of bots on Reddit swaying opinions on products allegedly. But now I'm staying here because truly the bigger problem is how politics are inescapable on there. Thank you Lemmy for allowing people to actually speak and not argue constantly. Opinions are okay, have a discussion but the constant pitch forks being thrown on reddit for literally anything is insanity
