I haven’t seen the libs this cringey and amped up since covfefe or whatever. Talking about having a taco truck festival in front of the white house. Fuck outta here.

      Sure, but the fact that you have to use “probably” in your reply indicates that it has no tangible effect. It’s not a good protest. Nothing changes because he’s not pissed enough or whatever the goal is to do whatever you think he should do in response.

      There’s just no substance

  • I’m ambivalent towards it… Because on the one hand, it’s the one insult that has been able to really get to him lately. It’s hard to make regular insults stick to him, but when you do he’s really precious about it. He’s like a wine glass covered in Teflon. And god knows anything that makes a piece of shit fash uncomfortable or upset is something I love.

    On the other hand, feckless liberals and democrats have run with it in the most annoying way possible, leaning on the actual taco word than on the concept. It’s so stupid.

      You put it better than I was gonna

      It should be about calling him a chicken, not saying TACO repeatedly until it loses all meaning

  • Trump is fundamentally a dumbass and I think that the TACO but is genuinely going to encourage him to wreck the economy more. His persona probably matters more than any other president in recent history, for example Syria managed to get partial sanctions relief by simply calling him a “God sent man of peace”.

      for example Syria managed to get partial sanctions relief by simply calling him a “God sent man of peace”.

      They got that because their leader is a religious extremist asset of the CIA and west who is acting in their favor, in their name, in their interests and deposed Assad and is kissing the ring of the west and their wants. That’s what matters. He’s not perhaps their first choice but they want to reward that kind of behavior and prostration he’s shown, give him some treats and get him to cooperate, threaten to slap the sanctions fully back on if he acts out in any way. It’s not unusual at all for the west to partially lift sanctions in situations like this.

    It’s so fucking stupid and it’s not even remotely funny. It just feels like the Dems are using chud name calling and I’m kind of done with feeling like all these people never made it out of the school playground mentality.

      It’s a big reason that a lot of these people will never see the light and come to the left. To them, this is the height of activism. Make a mean nickname and daydream about throwing a taco festival outside the white house? Like he won’t even be home. They will never get the permits. The whole thing would be one giant waste of resources, dead animals and single use plastic.

      And that’s their dream protest!

    Kinda feels like another version of “drumph and putler are GAY for each other! No I’m not homophobic I’m just using homophobia to insult them because they’re the homophobes!”. On the surface yea calling him a chicken is kinda funny because he’ll fall for that harder than Marty McFly but the whole TACO abbreviation just makes me feel like it’s another case of libs indulging in a little bit of racism using “acceptable” targets.

    I could be reading into it too much but the vibes are off for sure

      It’s Racist? That’s hilarious. How about it’s just an easy acronym that even HitlerPig can spell?

      Sounds like a lame MAGA excuse to get Libz to stop continuing to use it. MAGAs think everyone is as stupid as they are.

        That’s why I said “feels like” and “I think”, it’s probably just an innocent memorable acronym, most likely I’m just overly suspicious since in my experience most crackers are quick to use racism/homophobia when they have “acceptable” targets. See libs depicting Xi Jinping with literal yellow skin, give them an opening and they’re in with both feet.

        I’ll hold off on any definite accusations of racism until they take it further, but as is it’s bad vibes to me

      I had a lion’s mane taco for lunch. Great flavor. Would do it again somewhere that knows that that much stuff should go on three tiny tortillas instead of one medium one.

        3 small tacos as a meal is bullshit. I went to what was supposed to be a fairly upscale vegan place and they had a 3 different taco thing for a main and it was basically the same thing that my work (explicitly not fancy vegan place) had for half the price as an app. A jackfruit pulled pork one, a marinated tofu one and a lions man one. They were good but also something I ate at work for free, it was the exact same thing as our app

    User name does not check out, “Oldsoulhippie”. “These damn libs be protesting Nazis”, old grumpy man noises 😂. Better than running people over, or attacking governors like the Republicans do. It’s peaceful and makes people feel better while the Nazis are in charge. Why’s it matter?

      This is actually happening.

      I’ve even seen people say they’re throwing a taco party for when he isn’t in power anymore. What happened to “he’s never leaving this is the end of democracy”
