Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump
Several members of the RNC's Arizona delegation were spotted helping Trump 'set a new fashion statement'.
But these sheep can't wear masks? Give me a fucking break.
To be fair, they need the bandage just as much as trump does.
Like. A day or two after the attempt he was out golfing and didn't have a bandage or anything.
I think it was just a small nick and the blood thinners he's likely on just makes you bleed like crazy since they prevent clotting. A small scratch looks like a war wound, and would explain why there was blood everywhere but he still has a functional ear.
Like, if he really got shot in the ear, he'd be missing a part of his ear like in Preacher. It won't just heal back.
Dude got a scratch and is playing it up.
The masks prevent them from quaffing their own farts all day long.
Well...
There isn't a fourth monkey covering its nose.
There is, however, a fourth monkey covering his crotch. "Do no evil"
LOL what the fuck. i've never seen a more subservient removedass group of bootlicking sheep than republicans
They really are strange.
Apparently, the other people are sheep. These are the free-thinking freedom loving people! /s
Dear God man ... this is crazy cringe.
And yet they’re the ones screeching about “alpha males and the loss of masculinity in America.”
But remember, they hate being called sheep.
Just a reminder, jd vance, trumps newest vp pick, has on many occasions been quoted in the past of saying "I didn't vote for trump", "I never liked trump", and "I'm a never-trump guy".
NOW he sings trumps praises, and kisses trumps ass.
Vance literally called Trump "America's Hitler" in a now deleted tweet.
Also so many are Christian and say shit like "the lord is my shepard" in the same breath that they call other people "sheep."
Makes me think of the court at Versailles all pretending to have anal fistulas after Louis XIV had surgery for one.
I’m gonna take your word, I ain’t clicking on anal fistulas.
"I'M NOT THE MESSIAH!"
He's just a naughty boy!
"I say you are Lord and I should know, I've followed a few"
"HE IS THE MESSIAH!"

So say we all.
Don't they know a bandage on the right ear means you are gay?
I guess I will explain it for people
This is actually a thing…with piercings
Getting the right ear pieced, also called the gay ear, is a way to signal to others that you are gay. I have no idea if it’s still a thing but growing up if you were getting a piercing the rule was left or both
I have two in my right, one in my left, and have been told many times that its the same thing. More in the right ear apparently makes me gay. Im definitely straight, but I kept my piercings like this for the last 15 years, and wouldnt you know it, the only people telling me thats gay are other straight people. This is certainly just personal experiences, but my personal experience is that its not a 'gay rule' as much as its a 'homophobe rule.' Like you said, pretty sure it was a style or signal in the gay community in the 80s or something, but any more it just feels like an urban legend perpetuated by bigots.
I heard it was the left ear, or any piercing, or it was the right ear, or it was only certain kinds of piercings.
None of it was true.
This was never a very reliable thing ever and certainly isn't anymore. The joke the OP makes is in reference to what it was used for, which was an attempt to attack / stigmatize anyone who did choose their right ear for a piercing perpetrated by small minds. Many of those small minds have now grown into the hateful old bigots that are the base of the GOP.
So they're fine with cloth on the face as long as it's completely unnecessary?
Seems everyone should have realized by now what a weak, sad, and pathetic group the Republican party is.
You mean the American Fascist Party?
Not to be confused with the American Nazi Party. But I forget what the difference between the two is these days
Yes, you two are in agreement. You're saying the same thing.
Republikkklowns
I can’t decide if this is more or less weird than wearing a diaper in support of Trum…no…it’s less weird…right?
Are we 100% sure they're not also wearing diapers?
Since these people aren't treating any ear injury, you might as well call these "ear diapers."
That is consistent with their usage of chin diapers that also had no medical use.
I'll give it to you, this is the most a Not The Onion post has made me go "wait, is that The Onion"?
Good job. I think.
I genuinely don't know how satirists are supposed to make a living any more.
Oh, did you not see the commemorative sneakers he's selling?
Nah, that I believed. Trump shilling useless crap is extremely plausible.
The people that hate virtue signaling love signaling the dumbest virtues.
They like playing the victim card, then turn away from people who truly are victims.
You think if the shooter hadn't missed they'd be removing their heads in solidarity?
I do honestly think a lot of people on that side would commit suicide if Trump was killed, yes.
Correct
I think after the bandage comes off you're going to see accidental su*cides from people trying to copycat themselves
Maybe we'll get to find out one of these days.
Cult.
Sheep go baaah
best summary.
Not a cult...
Devils advocate for the heck of it. Gonna be submerged in bad rep for this.
This is comparative to people wearing "I can't breathe" signs after Floyd or waving a pride flag to show solidarity. You just give them shit because you do t agree with them.
Sure they are all fucking stupid for not seeing the obvious flaws in their idol. But giving them shit for a pretty rational way of showing support to their idol is not the right use of your energy.
You are participating in the fragmentation of your nation by pouring your hate into simple stuff like this.
For all I care go ahead. I'm European.
Hear me out, showing solidarity to a slave owner attacked by his slave is different than showing solidarity to a slave who was just beaten. The power dynamic should not be ignored
Hear me out...
I'm sorry, could you speak into my other non-assassinated ear? Thank you
But giving them shit for a pretty rational way of showing support to their idol is not the right use of your energy.
Laughing at idiots is never not the right use of my energy, thank you very much.
You are participating in the fragmentation of your nation by pouring your hate into simple stuff like this.
I'll feel guilty about it when it isn't fascists I'm fragmenting out of my country. If anything, I'm proud to make those fucks uncomfortable in my country.
The method of showing support might be similar to something like the George Floyd demonstrations. But I'm not giving them shit for their method, I'm doing it because of who they're showing support for. If somebody wore a bandage on their ear in solidarity with an innocent person who was shot in that spot by cops, I'd applaud them.
And as for fragmenting our nation, there is no tolerance available for fascists and their supporters. They choose to split us apart when they vote for someone like Trump who targets the vulnerable in our society.
Who's giving them shit for the way they are showing their support and not just for who they are supporting? 🤨
If you support a tyrannical moron, even if the way you show it is rational, I'm still gonna give you shit for supporting a tyrannical moron.
One guy died as a result of police oppression. The other got his ear cut for being an asshole.
• One is solidarity as a memorial.
• One is solidarity with an idiot.
SAME THING EVERYONE!
Thank you for being willing to stick your neck out there and say what you feel and see.
On social media, especially sites where voting seems to happen in packs, it's risky to have a counter opinion. Too many people just don't say how they feel if it's counter to the mainstream, and then their voices are completely drowned out.
Perhaps your idea is more mainstream than you know but those who share it don't have a willingness to jump into the fire, leaving those with more extreme positions thinking they have agreement with most when they don't.
This is comparative to people wearing “I can’t breathe” signs after Floyd or waving a pride flag to show solidarity. You just give them shit because you do t agree with them.
i mean yeah, except if floyd was just, moderately bruised, and wasn't killed.
Like it's still bad, but he barely got hit, so it's literally just a flesh wound.
No, your analogy would require people having fake knees choking them out, which is as ridiculous as the ear patches. But what do you expect from people who wear a 3d model of their god being killed everywhere they go.
Has a shit grasp of logical fallacies, much less elementary logic
I'm European
Hunh. Did not see that coming.
You are absolutely correct. The left is just as guilty of tribalism as the right.
This timeline is so broken. I can't believe that the USA may well vote this idocracy into power.
America:
FFS. They really are willing to eat his shit straight from his asshole.
It’s all fucking weird.
Almost like it's a mental illness or cult... But nope, perfectly normal. You are the one that's crazy! You should wear more diapers and ear patches about that.
Posers. REAL Trump fans would have a friend shoot their ear with an AR from range first.
/s, obviously. We all know they don't have friends.
How the Turn Tables
For those out of the loop:
"Even leading Republicans said yesterday that things went a little too far when they had to publicly repudiate the actions of a delegate who was handing out adhesive bandages marked with Purple Hearts to mock Mr. Kerry's war wounds."
"The bandages, distributed by Morton Blackwell of Arlington, Va., included a message that read, "It was just a self-inflicted scratch, but you see I got a Purple Heart for it.""
It's almost like the party has always been batshit crazy. Speaks volumes of a large segment of the American population tbh.
And Kyle Gass can't crack a mild joke about it...
Van Gogh enthusiasts are outraged.
As a nurse this bandage trump showed up with looks totally like it is for show only. I would bet real money, that no healthcare professional was near this bandage and it was probably a PR person who sticked stuck this on him.
I thought that too, it almost looks like a piece of telfa taped to his ear. I was hoping he'd have a glasscock dressing.
Can't wait to see some daring journalist ask Trump in a filmed interview to see the scar. I assume Trump will classify that under the "that's too personal" category of lies he doesn't want to defend.
First diaper-wearing now this.
Monkey see monkey do
Imagine how mortifying it would be to have a legitimate ear injury this week.
As long as you don't tell your doctor to make the patch as big as possible like trump did, you should be fine in most cases. This looks more like the size of bandage you would get after ripping your whole ear off.
What a bunch of nut jobs, holy shit. They're actually turning America into a gigantic parody of itself.
.......you new here? And by "here" I mean Earth.
I'm just surprised how they keep one-upping each other!
Not like politicians were listening to us anyway, no need to cover your ears.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The previous verse says hand or forehead but close enough
If there is an anti-Christ, this dude has to be the closest we’ve got to it
Limp dick cucks copying a gereatric nepo baby for popularity points.
But are they doing it after shooting their ears with an AR-15* and my soon-to-be-sold commemorative 5.56mm Trump bullets (with tiny Trump fistbump engraving on the casing)? /s
Can we not waste medical supplies for no fucking reason?
Tbf, a few of those look like napkins from the hot dog stand
So the uniform starts with gold tennis shoes, gold diapers, and now an ear bandage. The GOP sure is putting sexy on display!!! https://www.dispatchesfromtrumpland.com/post/trump-fans-wear-golden-diapers-and-more-diaper-shirts-at-jersey-shore-rally
Tell me you're in a cult without telling me you're in a cult ffs!
Best Monty Python movie.
What level of dick sucking is this?
About 3" and Toad shaped
I was thinking more dick riding, but sucking works also.
🥾😛 "look how much we love the sensual flavor of your boots, Baddy Daddy Trump. Will you fuck our wife's next, pretty please?🔥💗🔥💗🔥💗"
shout from the back "Mine first!!!"
"You don't even need to fuck mine, just tell me she's a hog!"

Grown ass motherfuckers behave like teenage bieber fan girls.
And they own guns and are full of hate
Emulation for acceptance. Kids do this. It is pathetic in adults.
lol you don’t think adults do things to show solidarity?
Yup they do, and I was saying this is not that...
Thank god he wasn't shot in the lip they'd have to wear masks
We deserve to be wiped out by global warming
Absolutely ridiculous
Ear diapers.
Remember that time a bunch representatives wore bandages over their assholes because it was stylish to match Louis XIV's anal fistula bandage back in the late 1600s? Seems like they really think the have the Sun King again, the self-titled center of the universe
It must be uncomfortable wearing a fucking maxi pad on your ear all day long.
Be extra careful not to hurt your ear this week, you won't be able to bandage it
This might be the peak. I can't imagine how we'll ever have a more Not The Onion article.
Peak cult bullshit.
Nah, if he has a stroke and half his face doesn't work I expect a non-zero number of his cultists to have half their face paralyzed in solidarity.
You are most likely invoking a "hold my beer" moment.
sign of love
Sounds pretty gay to me
I came here to laugh at the ridicule of the The Onion's story, only realize, to my horror, that it's not The Onion...
What was that fairy tale where people disguised their faces to look ugly in order to avoid upsetting their monarch?
Sounds a little like the emporer's new clothes to me.
Of all the dick sucking moves you could do………… I am amazed at how eager they toss the salad.
