OMG! OMG! OMG!

[Mossfern]

The house with the huge Trump banner saying "Daddy's Home!" has taken it down!

This is big.
I think the flags are down as well - will check when I pass by again.
Do you think it was the Pope's funeral that put this guy over the top for these Magats?

[Traildogbob]

1. Wow!

I thought you meant the House, as in Congress, had a big flag of “Daddy’s Home”. I fully believe Moses Mike would demand that happen.

[Mike 03]

2. Hahaha. Love stories like this.

The house across from my mom's took down two or three Trump signs and flags around the time he did his Tariff Press Conference. She believes it is significant because they had Trump stuff up during most of the Biden presidency so for them it's an obsession.

3. I just drove from NW CT to mid Jersey and...

I didn’t see one trump sticker on a car. Not one!

[peacebuzzard]

4. I am in deep red country and saw 1

lately. It looked faded; it was a van bumper. Other than that one I don't see any more.
And they were everywhere last term... bumpers, yard signs, post signs, and a few at the beginning of this election period.
Now it is clean.

[Mossfern]

5. That's because my neighbortoo his off!

North Jersey here.

[Redleg]

6. What is it with all this "Daddy" bullshit?

Is this what these dumb fuckers really want? Maybe they should ask Trump's kids how good a father Trump was to them.

[Mossfern]

7. I don't get it either

They're infantalizing themselves.
They think 'Daddy' is going to take care of them?

[miyazaki]

12. They don't deal in rational thought.

Dealing with some deep pathology with these fuckers.

[central scrutinizer]

13. That's George Lakoff's opinion

Conservatives want an authoritarian figure.

[Hekate]

26. George Lakoff has always been spot-on to this psychology

[calimary]

32. George Lakoff always makes sense.

He’s not fooled.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. 1) It is abuser talk, 2) It is pseudo manly-man talk, 3) It was something fucker Carlson said

They think they are being tough and intimidating and manly.

They actually are being abusive and exposing themselves as fake men: all rippling muscles but so muscle bound they can hardly move.

T{f}ucker Carlson said it on one of his podcasts (I think from Moscow) and repeated it on stage at some tRump rally before the election.

[Hekate]

25. This is it. They want the "daddy" who will come home and wallop his kids for misbehavior...

And what this country needs is a good dose of that, they think.

[Sky Jewels]

18. They believe in Sky Daddy and White House Daddy.

They need a cruel male authoritarian figure to tell them what to do and take the work out of thinking for themselves.

[tanyev]

19. They've fixated their Daddy issues on a man with Vladdy issues.

[rubbersole]

20. "And he's taking his belt off."

IIRC that was from Mel Gibson. If tsf took his belt off ...never mind. I don't want that visual. 😳

[highplainsdem]

21. They think Daddy is going to spank the people they don't like, the people weak Mommy was too kind to.

Their authoritarian father figure will go after their enemies and scapegoats.

[IronLionZion]

24. Sounds like a fetish thing

The "don't tread on me" people are really meaning "tread on me harder Daddy". RW media hosts like Tucker Carlson have talked about spanking and similar kinky stuff. Conservatives are repressed and weird about such things.

8. Why would the Pope's funeral be the straw that broke the camel's back?

Are your neighbors anti-Catholic?

[SheilaAnn]

9. While sitting in the first row, trump went to sleep, mouth open and sawing logs. Melania ignored him. It looked disgust-

ing.

[maxsolomon]

11. LOL, odds are extremely low that these Magats watched

the funeral.

[Ms. Toad]

17. or cared, even if they did watch. n/t

[Ms. Toad]

10. Pope's funeral? You're kidding, right? n/the

[dchill]

14. Right? The Pope's dead - now it's Trump's turn.

[Dan]

16. Well, I guess its nice....

But they already helped burn down the farm, didn’t share any concerns over the animals dying in the fire and only care now because the fire is approaching their home. And the reason they care is they just remember that Trump defunded the fire department in his desire to hurt the city people.

[Meowmee]

22. I doubt it, why would the pope's funeral do that?

[GoCubsGo]

23. I guess after Daddy got home, he downed a fifth of vodka,

and started beating on his wife and kids? Something tells me the poster of that sign lost his job because of the DOGE purge, or he looked at his 401k, or had a family member arrested without due process, or...

[mdbl]

27. Sounds like a house of horrors

[louis-t]

28. I think slowly, they're getting it.

What remains is some that think he's playing 27 dimension chess, some that refuse to leave him just out of stubbornness, and some that will never leave him even if he had Kash Patel come over and mow down their entire family with an AK-47.

[meow2u3]

29. I noticed the same thing with my neighbor across the street from me

His "Daddy's Home" Trump banners were taken down about a week ago. I wonder if he lost his job.

[Sugarmaggie]

30. Same for my neighbor - mid MI

Hard to describe the presentation of the neighbors display. Imagine rural Mi with fencing that looks like wooden logs (fort style) around property. I called it fort trumpconderoga. Had about 10 trump crappy flags now only American flag. Not sure if he’s seen the light or getting ready for trump flag refresh.

[mucholderthandirt]

31. My guess: lost their job; lost their farm; lost their welfare; lost their insurance.

Or something that finally hit home to them that they backed the wrong idiot and it's more than the black, brown, gay and uppity women that are going to suffer bigly.

Sucks to be them. Dumb bastards.
