      I know this is a joke, but it made me think of 2024 and how I was genuinely confused by my multiple neighbor’s “Love Trumps Hate” signs in 2024 in a very liberal area. I legimately thought they were saying they love the level of hate Trump is spewing, because that’s how crazy those people had gotten. Also, why would you use a word that is the same as the guys name, in a sign protesting said guy. A few weeks later someone clued me in, but god damn, this timeline is so fucking stupid when i legitimately thought the Trump people were “just telling it like it is”.

      As a disclaimer, I’m fully aware of the phrase love trumps hate, and the meaning of the word ‘trump’, but in this over politicized environment it just didn’t dawn on me that was the intended meaning.
