            the post-truth world will only get worse (until it perhaps gets better). my daily protestations include flipping off the trumpian images and idols around me at every opportunity and attempting to hold onto what I believe is some sort of objective reality. deviation from this, for me at least, is a road to greater global madness with no option of return.

            king maker or not, the people I choose to crew with should not molest the fabric of reality.

        Not true.

        The mark is on the forehead. Like a red hat.

        Revelation 13:16-17 [16]It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17]so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

        Revelation 9:20: “The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.”

      Snopes: A White House official said via email: “Obviously, we did not order officials to wear this pin. If they choose to wear one, it is to show support for the greatest President in history.” Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair seen in photos wearing the golden Trump lapel pin, had not responded to requests for comment about why he wore the pin at the time of this writing.

      Still pretty fucked.

        So it’s more of a “It would be really nice if everyone could wear a pin” kind of thing.

      I don’t think this counts. However, ‘The act also precludes federal employees from membership in “any political organization which advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government.”’ Can this be used to kick out most everyone that Trump has appointed? Seems like that’s the goal of the Republicans right now.

    Sad it’s coming to this, but the flag pin was at one point or another leading to this kind of stuff. I wish this would have just led to bigger and bigger pins to show that people are more patriotic than their opponent.

    Nationalism leads to cult of personality. Cult of personality leads to… ah shit I can’t remember. Fashion I think?

      He is a clinical narcissist. He does not have an objective sense of reality when it comes to himself. He genuinely thinks he is a strong athletic intimidating and beautiful person (jowls and all). He thinks he can out swim a female olympic swimmer, that he is smarter than PhD’s and MD’s, and that he has more political prowess than anyone in history. When he says he is the greatest president, the greatest golfer, the greatest… whatever… in history, he is not exaggerating for emphasis. He is deluded and actually believes it.

      It’s potential misinformation.

      https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/04/11/trump-head-lapel-pin/

      There’s no evidence of a “command”, just the fcc dude was wearing it

      Don’t get me wrong, even then that people are starting to wear it is weird, but integrity should still be kept in reporting the facts instead of reporting speculation as fact.

      Arm bands are a pain in the ass, always slipping down.

      They should get a Swastika tattooed on their foreheads, so they don’t have to worry about it. Then we’ll all know who the real die-hard supporters are.
