Members of rightwing base disorientated by cordial Oval Office meeting – but not all Trump supporters downcast
A flurry of social media posts from MAGA influencers have laid bare the disorientation felt by members of Trump’s base at the spectacle of Friday’s cordial Oval Office meeting with Mamdani, who the president previously painted as a “communist lunatic”.
“Wild to allow a jihadist communist to stand behind the president’s desk in the Oval Office. Sad to see,” wrote far-right activist Laura Loomer, one of Trump’s most fervent online backers.
She returned to the theme several times. “I had to drink a bottle of ginger ale today after seeing Mamdani in the Oval Office because it physically nauseates me seeing Islamic jihadists infiltrate our government and continue to get a pass to promote Islamic jihad and anti-American values with zero push back,” Loomer wrote.
They’ll go silent for a few days, then cognitively dissociate from this and him blowing clinton, then resume regularly scheduled xenophobic programming. Hate is easy and engrained. We were screwed before long covid docked everyone down to room temp IQs… now? Now it’s a race to the bottom.
TL;DR: Ow, my balls! (Brought to you by Brawndo – it’s got what plants crave!)
He has two occupations: grifting and being a hype-man. This fits with him being a hypeman
It’s fair to say both sides are very confused about how it went down.
I’m curious to know what happened but, as a sane person who understands and accepts that Trump’s mental state is in complete disarray, I’m not exactly confused.
For all the people who still believe that Trump is a super strong, super smart, all-American mega patriot who loves capitalism and hates brown people this must be bewildering. And with all the jokes about him swooning over Mamdani I mean damn, their MAGA leader being in love with a muslim, african immigrant man must be breaking them.
It’s been clear for some time that Trump must be very easy to manipulate if you know how to approach him. But most people end up debasing and humiliating themselves to win Trump over.
The way Mamdani won over Trump, who previously hated him and saw him as a massive threat, while keeping his dignity and even getting permission to call Trump a fascist, you can’t deny that’s spectacular. Even if you know it should be theoretically possible, it’s amazing to see someone actually do it. Especially someone as leftwing as Mamdani.
But that means he knows how to package his message, how to appeal to people and how to win them over. It would be amazing if Mamdani could also win over the many working class Trump voters in the US.
Sure, you’re special. Thanks for sharing.
I literally explained the difference and put myself as not special but ok, buddy.
- “I want to make New York City more affordable.”
“Literally Osama.”
Wait, is he an Islamic Jihadist or a radical communist?
They aren’t the same thing…
Well you see the definition doesn’t matter for the folks who just use them as stand-in’s for “un-American”.
Loomer is just mad she sucked his little mushroom and had to smell his shit filled diaper and got nothing for it.
Laura Loomer needs to accidentally fall into a wood chipper.
…in Minecraft
She did, at least what’s left of her brains have. Only explanation for her.
It physically nauseates me remembering Laura Loomer exists, but you dont see me bragging about it
And the funny thing is that after the meeting Mamdani still publicly says that morning changed and he stands behind what he said about him.
How the establishment Dems see it:
I think you underestimate how far to the Right establishment Dems are
Wait until you hear about what Churchill got up to when Ze Germans weren’t on the beaches
You can’t spell dummy without why
You just did?
No it’s: D U M M Y W I T H O U T W H Y
y. pronounce it.
igrek?
English scares me
This article gives a platform to a bunch of bigoted islamophobes.
The majority of US Americans want to stop the Israeli genocide.
They’re getting ready to pick Trump’s carcass apart
…cults will cult…
Plot twist: Mamdani is going to do a Fetterman360
360°… so no change in direction?
Imagine being such a boomer lmao
“Quick, go to knowyourmeme and type in ‘360’ in the search bar so people don’t think I can’t tell angles”
Pulls out an obscure meme from 14 years ago and calls someone a boomer.
I can see that school system in the US suffered a lot. Like even if my wildest dreams I wouldn’t come up with as much shit as you just did. I am amazed.
And yes, the meme is old, I was there when it happened. However, I’m still a lot less of a boomer than people acting as if it is the first time on the internet.
Now shoo shoo. And don’t drink the leaded water.
Fine. I’ll be walking away. From you.
So… I need to turn… how many degrees?Hihihi. Boomer humor is so good.
Wow. What a stupid meme.
What’s a meme?
Yes.

We don’t allow ableist slurs. Even in images.
Honest question: where is there a slur in that link? I’m not sure if I’m just missing it or if there’s a word I don’t know is considered a slur now in there.
I didn’t see that word in there. I did see something like “stupid sack of shit” but I don’t recall seeing that specific slur. Maybe I missed it, can’t see the link anymore though.
The article talks about using the word specifically when talking about intellectually disabled people / using it to attack the minority.
I think nobody, in the entire lemmy community, is doing that.
If you are just banning the world, the next combination of words that will become a slur will be “intellectually disabled”.
I guess that’s boomer humor
So fucking dumb.
