    Absolutely fucking insane. It’s a weapon that will be used to detain/commit people based on their political ideologies. It also might prevent political opponents from owning firearms once they’re documented as having this “mental illness” which is important to any fascist regime to disarm minorities/opposition.

    I can’t see all of us not using this to describe people who are obsessed with Trump.

    It’s what I thought the term meant initially, since “Trump” is literally right next to the word “deranged”.

    So that MAGA idiot admits Trump is a fascist, and he’s okay with it… That’s rare.

    This will be much less funny when it’s the black bag squad roaming around in unmarked vans kidnapping people for not having Trump’s mark on them.

      “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.” (Revelation 13:16-18)

        I’ve been constantly reminding my in-laws that they are proudly wearing “the mark” on their foreheads.

        I’m not religious but it’s hilarious to me how many things point to him being their antichrist, but they’re plowing headfirst into it anyway.

    That’s the thing with ignorance. Everyone around is well aware, except for the ignoramus itself. And left unchecked it can quickly go from a nuisance to a real danger.

      It’s not overused if it’s actually true every time. It’s just that reality is absurd.
