The same man who once ran 100 mph from the cops up the side of a mountain because he had moonshine in his pickup is now wearing an Alligator Alcatraz hat and applauding ICE and I swear to god his ancestors would kick his ass…

Jess missed it, who is the moonshine runner ?
ANY moonshine runner…🤓
His ancestors were probably KKK & are literally dancing a jig in Hell.
Florida, like Germany, will hang her head in shame for generations.

That’s going to require Florida to learn the skill of introspection first. Considering who they keep electing, I’m not going to hold my breath.
Exactly! This country has been overrun by idiots, which is exactly what Repubs wanted since Regan when they started their war on education & simultaneously created their 24/7 propaganda network, FOX. The country’s collective IQ has dropped 3-4 points since that time. That’s huge! Dems let them win!
I know a lot of people blame democrats, but it’s really because one individual told the party he could lie to American’s faces and never stop. It’s kind of like blaming a gunshot victim for being shot. Nobody ever tried all this B/S before. We were just running as if we played the same game.
The populace should have been brighter & not so gullible to believe a liar. There are many reasons why it was so easy to con them. 2 of those reasons is our unconscionable wealth discrepancy & our failed public k-12 education system. When you see no light at the end of the tunnel you’re susceptible!
In past decades our populace made more progress towards sanity. Civil rights. Women’s rights. Human rights Now our nation is distracted. We are beset by misinformation, by entertainment, by gambling, by sports. People have to choose what is of importance. It will always be this. Be a strong voice.
Ppl are distracted having 2 work 2-3 jobs 2 afford what 1 job provided a family of 4, 50 years ago.Our unconscionable wealth disparity is at the root of most problems,from failed school systems 2 good paying jobs.Our civil liberties are being destroyed bc ppl are focusing on survival & nothing else
I choose to live very cheaply. If I can’t afford it I’m not getting it. But I’m retired. I don’t have the same needs as families. And families can’t survive. It’s the plan. My son is struggling and has to sell their home to survive now. 7 months ago the outlook was much different. trump kills.
That’s the plan. Indentured servitude 2.0. The sad reality that most of the people supporting that are too clueless to realize that they’re part of the working pool, not management. Delusions of grandeur.
We have a lot of work to do on ourselves as Americans. Most people aren’t willing to do that.
Easy to do performance shame if the wind changes once you've sold your soul. Just something I've noticed.
People who have no moral character never feel shame
Floridian here: we've been hanging our heads in shame for generations already.
No man! No time for allowing that kind of shit to linger around! All these ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS from Red States NEED to be ERADICATED!
Shame requires a conscience.
EXACTLY!
If his ancestors need any assistance.....
If we ever get power back, can we round up all the MAGAts?
No, rounding people up is what we're pissed about. But Nuremberg 2.0 is a pretty popular idea these days
Clever cat eyes!
You pegged the type of trash that ICE attracts, and is attracted to the thuggery.
YES THEY WOULD!
Jimmy Bowman?
That guy’s ancestors are in bread jackals!!
Something ironic about an account called Realities posting AI slop images.
It started with Jebthro Bush... the Texan... 💩🤩
Looking at you, Kentucky. 😡
You wrote this so well...
To paraphrase @thetraecrowder.bsky.social, I don’t understand the bootlicking by rednecks because historically, rednecks have not responded well to the sudden presence of the police.
Somehow the 🍊 💩 convinced them he is on their side (or even one of them) and they don’t understand that they are his minions.
Respectfully disagree. Racism is a helluva a drug and more potent than alcohol.
Who’s making those hats?
Who is it?
You bring up a good point. One thing the Trump era has shown, ironically, is that maybe we should all be a little more circumspect when it comes to handing over power to the Federal gov’t.
The Constitution does separate powers between the States and the Federal government. It is the Supremacy clause: Article VI, Clause 2.
And/or we should abolish Executive Orders which don't exist in the constitution
Freedom for me not for thee. Rules for thee not for me.
Bootlickers cosplaying as outlaws
Forget his ancestors and how he dishonors them just remember your own right now Your ancestors are damn proud of you !!!!
So are we all.
Don't tread on me, but by all means, tread on everyone else.
Always a bootlegger, never a bootlicker.
So, he's nothing more than a common, drunken criminal. And a racist. Seems to really go hand in hand, no?
I'm happy I don't know who you are talking about.
They would.
They have no shame or soul whatsoever
NASCAR came from the moonshine - I hate to see what the trump concentration camp becomes
We've seen it before, it becomes the Nuremberg trials.
Not when you own the DOJ in sorry to say
My hope is that their bumbling incompetence and the almost certain power struggle after heart disease wins will be enough for sanity to prevail.
Yep.
They’re all hypnotized.
As a WV native, I’ve been furious for years. The miners who fought to unionize rolled over in their fucking graves when their descendants licked the tiny mushroom.
100 the folks who rose up at blair mountain would see the descendants as scabs, cowards, and dumb as shit for still being in the clutches of the company.
Hopefully..
And the same moron whose great grandparents bitched about "carpetbaggers" voted one into power.
When will they learn? Will they wait until they lose everything before they wake up?
They'll "learn" the way cult members often do: face down in the mud, burnt to a crisp in a compound, or having leopards eat their faces.
Too bad the revenuers didn’t get their grand pappies back in the day.
May be a dumb question, but who is she referencing?
I'm thinking it's Vance.
Ohhhhh… that sounds accurate. I haven’t read hillbilly elegy and I don’t plan to, but that sounds like something that would be in a book named as such. Thanks!
Been in trouble with the law from the day they was born... until now.
Moonshine, didn't that go out with Smoky and the Bandit 50 years ago? Wearing hats makes you go bald in my experience, so what is this Alcatraz hat? I quit drinking in 1996, are my ancestors mad? Ditto with quitting tobacco in 2004.
👍
👹I Don't watch SNL Anymore - it's So Juvenile🤮
Please tell me who you’re referring to so I can direct my hate appropriately…
She’s talking about the “ICE Agents”, some of whom were likely moonshiners in their “past lives”…or, really, the hypocrisy of these “agents” and their past actions regarding the law and their philosophy of not abiding by it.
Yeah. Isn't racism fun?
I don't know. Their ancestors' hatred of the "other" is a strong competing interest...
Idk. Mine were unionized coal miners and farmers.
West Virginia Coal Wars - From Wikipedia "Some West Virginia coal miners joined the United Mine Workers in response to wage reductions following The Panic of 1893. By 1902, UMW membership in West Virginia had reached 5,000 miners..." Mary G. Harris Jones (AKA "Mother Jones") co-founded IWW 💪
Cabin Creek and Paint Creek strikes: 1912–1913 The Battle of Matewan Battle of Blair Mountain 👏👏👏👏👏💪
##AlligatorAuschwitz
Some Boomers, whose parents fought Nazis in WWII, now support Fascists. Go figure.
Because all they know is they had a hero instead family that fought in "The War". But they have no details and aren't interested in the history. They don't care. It's more of a bragging right than any actual pride/commitment to legacy.
Not fucking here.
It is a concentration camp. Not a prison. Big difference.
Exactly and its good to remind people. PRISON is where you go once you've been served due process, tried in a court and convicted. Alligator Aucshwitz is NOT that.
💯 💯 💯. We democracy lovers need to proactively hit hard with the definitional semantics. For examples: 1. The Republican Party is gone. It’s MAGA. Principled Republican adherents have been driven out. 2. Thoughts & prayers = Wishes. Wishes = I’m not going to do anything. 3. Your pinpoint example…
Yes, Jess!!!!!!! Perfectly said. Brava! Brava!
🎯
It should be called Alligator Auschwitz
Some of these folks forgot “yeehaw, fuck the law” and it really, really shows.
🤦♀️
Let’s not give more credit than due. His ancestors would be perfectly fine with it so long as the prisoners were brown or black.
Yup
Agreed
TRUTH
Who are we talking about? Need receipts.
Well we all know they gotta be consistent. Only criminals get government jobs in exchange for no jail time. Thats called loyalty
You can smell the whiskey burning down copperhead road
I see what you did there
Illegal immigrants are distilling whiskey in the hills of Tennessee, send in ICE and ATF
That’s a darn good point Piper.
ya!
Are you talking about that mafia guy JD Vance?
The Abominable Sadism of “Alligator Auschwitz” “Alligator Auschwitz,” though, might be a new apex of public sadism! But Republicans are bragging about their cruel ingenuity, and using it as a fundraising tool! www.thenation.com/article/poli...
And it will work. I have heard so-called Christians laugh about it, and also laugh about the idea that in Florida people are allowed to run over protesters who are blocking traffic in the road. Trumpism really is about hate and cruelty. And apparently they don't believe in the teachings of Jesus.
Since so much of this is race based I’m not so sure.
It can take you by surprise, when unlikely people ally together. I had a similar experience, seeing a close friend of 35 years, ally herself with anti vaxx, and anti-government propagandists during the COVID pandemic. Naomi Klein’s book, Doppelganger, helped me understand that much better.
Who are you talking about?
Horrifying ghouls---then and now. Dehumanizing others.
