posted the email i sent to close my account. fuck this company, act like trump hasn't threatened people for the last decade. i like presidents who haven't been shot at and diddled kids.
This kind of crap is said by everyone who supports fascists everywhere in the world. They have managed to convince themselves that the people they support and the ideologies they hold are not fascist because fascism = bad guy, and they are not bad.
They can't be bad, they hardly own any Nazi memorabilia, just the normal room full, the normal amount just like all their friends.
Time for Conservatives to play the reverse-uno victim card again. After stoking the flames of political violence for literally YEARS, they suddenly act shocked and horrified when political violence happens… but only because it was directed at their own. It’s not supposed to work like that, it’s supposed to be dumb liberals getting assaulted/killed without repercussions. Trump should’ve already been tried as a traitor and given the necessary punishment for that. That it took this long for something like this to happen is kind of mind-blowing. MAGA folks have already made assassination attempts on multiple other officials prior to this, including his former vice president.
"…for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”
—Matthew 26:52
Thousands of them marched on Capitol Hill at Trump's prompting, tried to lynch the vice president, tried to kill Congress, and several people died as a result. They didn't have any problems with violence on that day, or any day following, until yesterday.
He deserves solitary confinement in prison, which is the absolute worst punishment he could imagine. Nobody to kiss his ass, or listen to his lunacy, is a living hell for him.
I don't know, he might find peace in there. I bet he wakes up everyday ready to lash out at something. In solitary he would do no more lashing out than the cell next to him. It might force him to look inward and lord knows he loved nothing more than himself.
Well this fucking sucks, I liked Sticker Mule. My wife illustrates and gets stickers printed by them, and they'll send goodies in the box with it (like their hot sauce, which is also pretty good).
I'm all for a business taking a stance of "against violence", but I didn't know they were so pro-Trump. Personally I have mixed feelings because I don't want to open this Pandora's Box of more and more violence, particularly in public places. But I also can't pretend that we'd be better off with Trump gone. We'd at least have the GOP stop pretending that he had the best ideas.
I’ve always gotten corporate marketing stickers printed by them and didn’t think to check if they were nutters. Now that I know, I’ll be using an alternative vendor.
What, exactly, are they scared of? Being told they’re wrong to support trump? Being told facts about conservative actions that have damaged, and will actively worsen, people’s lives, geopolitics, society, and the planet that make them face the fact that their beliefs suck and are harmful? Does it scare them to hear that trump is a piece of shit for innumerable completely objective reasons?
Because I don’t know of any liberals threatening to bring tiki torches to conservative rallies and act like the Hitler Youth, I don’t hear of liberal laws being made that make it ok to run over conservative protesters with your car. I don’t see armed liberals showing up at polling stations.
So what is it they’re scared of, other than being told they’re horrible for supporting a fascist and the dismantling of our democracy?
It's regular Repub persecution complex. Saw an opportunity and leapt on it, "muh both sides are so full of hate, why can't we all get along?" I wonder if they quietly deleted the tweet after finding out the shooter is a fellow Repub?
They're scared of losing their customer base. If most of their customers are trending politically left, they know that it's a potential corporate death sentence to say they support fascism.
I mean the literal text of the statement is, with some very minor quibbles, fine.
I think the telling point is, just ask “So would you support jail time for anyone in politics who incites violence?”
If the answer is “fuck yes” then you are talking to a potential ally, even if they may be confused by some crazy pants media (of which there is plenty) about where the source of the problem is. If the answer is any kind of hesitation while they try to figure out how to carve out an exception for their side, then they know what’s up and what they’re doing, and fuck ‘em.
How could the answer be yes when they’re supporting a person that deliberately incited political violence on Jan 6? And celebrated violence when it happened against political opponents or adjacents?
Because the media they consume amped them all up to think January 6th was all a fake, Biden is the one seizing power and stealing elections, and now he’s trying to disable the secret service protection of Trump and get him killed on purpose to stay in power, all kinds of crazy nonsense.
Even on January 6th, in the video where the guy is getting crushed in the door, you can hear a couple people in the crowd who are really alarmed that the guy is hurt. A lot of what’s going on with the Republican rank and file is that they are more or less normal people but the picture is their head is this crazy nonsense that makes it make sense to have the Republicans in charge. They think they are saving America when they are doing these things. I was talking with one yesterday, and he was super in favor of fair elections, paper ballots, representatives from both sides being there to oversee the process… basically he really doesn’t (like sincerely really doesn’t) want his side to steal the election. He just wants it to be fair. And his media has him all amped up on crazy nonsense where that’s not what is happening and the Democrats are stealing elections and ending American democracy and they have to be stopped. And so, the people who really do want to steal elections know exactly how to utilize him to do it.
The model where it’s just like 40% of Americans are these horrible people who are just doing violent crooked things on purpose, is not what it happening, and turning on a personal level against the people who are victimized by GOP propaganda is in my opinion not the way.
i just sent an email to close my account completely.
I don't support people/organizations who think it's ok to threaten people for YEARS, then cry when someone actually stands up and does it back to them. Trump is a loser and I can't believe this company is supporting him saying "he doesn't deserve it" like he's all about rainbows and happiness.
To hell with this company
"Americans shouldn’t live in fear."
you're right, as trump incites violence an welcomes racism.
"I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do."
that's sad.
"The political hate needs to stop."
LOL after YEARS of trump threatening and being racist towards anyone and everyone, now is where you draw the line. go figure. thin, fragile egos.
"No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office. "
tell that to all the people who died of covid while trump said "it will go away"
"He’s got 5 kids. One’s still a teenager."
and? we don't have families?
"No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office. "
rapist pedophiles should not be on the ballot, let alone free.
"If Donald Trump can risk that, the least the rest of us can do is vocalize our support and help end the hate. "
put your money where your mouth is
"The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end. "
you may not all be racist bigots, but that doesn't seem to bother you either.
"Awesome people, all over the world, love Trump. Don’t limit your friendships, and diminish your happiness by indulging in political hate. "
disagree completely. when you hang out with turds, you tend to smell like shit.
"Constantino"
you'd have been told to go back to your country by his supporters.
if trump is the kind of person you'd invite over for dinner or go have beer with, we have NOTHING in common and should go our separate ways. Please close my account immediately.
I mean the text has nothing wrong in it. They basically saying they don't endorse people murdering each other over perceived political differences, and given they apparently have a wide variety of those in their payroll, makes it sound more like a warning for their employees hahah, a la "guys , quick note, it's not okay to start killing each other over this kind of stuff "
Beyond that, deeper discussion with a marketing brand CM is not for platforms like Twitter
Inhuman, dangerous pieces of shit do not deserve the consideration a real person does.
How many people has trump killed? His shitty covid policies killed over half a million people in this country alone, his supreme court stripped away basic healthcare from millions of women, he supported putins invasion of Ukraine. How many people does trump have to kill before brainless fucks like you realize we are well into the "desperate times/desperate measures" part of this story.
Anyone who is happy trump is still alive is part of the problem.
I value all human life, that piece of shit is not human. He chose to forsake his humanity when he became a fucking monster.
