I.....I...can't anymore.

[LuckyCharms]

Even though I don't really like the statement "I just can't", I can't.

I don't know how to combat this shit.

This was on some asshole's facebook. I was drinking a bottle of water when I saw it, and I laughed...water came shooting out of my nose.

This picture had 12,000 likes, loves, and wows.

Examples of comments are as follows:

Love him!! God bless our president !! TRUMP 2020!!

Wow it is beautiful!

Total awesome, bless Trump and keep him safe.

Beautiful Beautiful!! America knows whose a Great President!! Thank you God!!!

++++++++++++++++++

I can't. I can't even. I....can't.

[MLAA]

1. I can't either.

[ProudLib72]

2. I call bullshit

Absolutely no way in hell that is for a Rump rally.

[mr_lebowski]

4. Of course it's not ... probably it's actually Woodstock ... or something from around then ...

But I'm not at all surprised at what LC is saying about what followed, comment-wise.

We're dealing with the dumbest of the dumb, most gullible of the gullible ... Trump Cultists.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Google Search says it's Woodstock 1969

[LuckyCharms]

9. That's what I am saying. It's Woodstock. n/t

[ProudLib72]

14. This looks awfully familiar

[LuckyCharms]

15. Yes, that's the same pic I got when I did a reverse search. n/t

[raccoon]

44. So, if it is Woodstock, what's the motive for your post?

When this sort of thing occurs, it decreases the credibility of the poster for me, and I'm sure for many others.

[LuckyCharms]

50. My motive? Because I wanted to.

[G_j]

54. I was there

not a MAGA hat within a billion light years.

[Glimmer of Hope]

3. That is some major wackadoodle.

[emmaverybo]

5. High hilarity. NOT a Trump rally.

[Chin music]

6. Where's Air Force One that was behind him?

It was at an airport. If there were 1500 people there I'd be surprised. The camera doesn't pan to the crowd. Tight shots and we have to rely on crowd figures from the trump admin. The same admin that said.."Biggest inaugural in history."
Trumpers are deluding themselves.

[kimbutgar]

52. I heard Meghan on the View say yesterday there were 10,000 people there in a town of 4000

And people drove for miles to see him.

They never show pictures of his crowds from the whole viewpoint. I suspect the crowds are photographed to look large when they are not well attended,

[Greybnk48]

7. I don't think this is a Trump rally.

Not a chance.

[flotsam]

8. Funny

Because google image search says that IS Woodstock...

[LuckyCharms]

10. Yep. n/t

[blugbox]

11. Right click - search Google for image

https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/aerial-view-of-the-massive-crowd-in-attendance-at-the-news-photo/88031580

You can do this. No need to panic!

[LuckyCharms]

13. I did that immediately after I saw the pic.

My point is that it is obvious to me that it was Woodstock, or something similar. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that 12,000 people think it is a Trump rally.

[blugbox]

26. Haha yeah I see that now

When I was busy finding the link I figured out you were talking about maga twitterers but I posted too late lol

[dalton99a]

12. Photograph was taken in 1969 at Woodstock by a photographer named Barry Levine.

[ooky]

16. His base lies like he does.

He has created a movement of horrible humans.

[trixie2]

18. Before I give advice about GETTING THE HELL OFF FB.........................

Love your moniker - LuckyCharms and then your pot leaf. Might I suggest a bit more of [insert pot smoking emoji]

[LuckyCharms]

20. Oh I have not posted anything in YEARS!

I do however use it to lurk on the pages of right wingers...because my high blood pressure isn't high enough

[trixie2]

51. I know what you mean

Back in the day, mid 80s, I would subscribe to both the Detroit Free Press (left wing) and the Detroit News (right wing propaganda). My mom would stop by and ask why I would pay money to the right wing rag. I told her I liked to scream every morning to get my day going.

FB: I love all the in laws in the family and we are all very close. It has come to my attention that certain in laws are leading double lives as assholes. Example: An in law, who married into an immigrant family, started making fun of accents and saying, "Learn English". I went nuclear Then I unfriended him. The next day was Christmas and he was all like I now have 9 people on my friends list which is an tiny portion of my family. I only log on when a great aunt texts me that she has posted pics of her trip to Yellowstone Park.

I get it.

[woodsprite]

19. How many of those 12K were Russian and white supremacist trolls? nt

[LuckyCharms]

22. Probably more than half.

But the other half are voters.

[Chin music]

21. 'Don't take the brown acid"

[LuckyCharms]

23. Too late. n/t

[Chin music]

24. Haaa Haaa Haaaaaaaa.

Better lock the doors, and put on Pink Floyd, Dark Side of The Moon, and settle in.

[LuckyCharms]

25. Wow! I am listening to this as you typed that!

[mr_lebowski]

28. harmlessly passing your time in the grassland awaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

only dimly aware of a certain unease in the aaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr
you better watch out!
there may be dogs about!

(can't even tell you how many times I've heard that album, man, going back to 10th grade)

I love Gilmour's guitar outro in particular ... which he somewhat replicated on his 1978 solo album 'David Gilmour', at the end of the song 'Cry from the Street' ...

If by some totally weird chance you've never heard this, prepare to thank me, cause this song is badass ... but I bet you have ... maybe not for awhile though

[LuckyCharms]

31. Excellent! Thanks!! I can hear the similarity starting at about...

the 4:20 mark...never heard this song before.

[mr_lebowski]

33. It is indeed at about 4:20, isn't it? Lol ... So you've never heard that album ... in that case

I have another treat for you my friend.

This is actually a cover but I've never heard the original, and I don't think I need to ...

Both Cry from the Street and this one ... are like lost Floyd classics ... the friggin chorus on this song is to die for, IMHO ... I am compelled to sing at the top of my lungs

Actual song starts around 50 seconds ...

You're welcome again

[Chin music]

47. +1

[pecosbob]

49. Even a dog needs a home...a shelter from pigs on the wing.

[RandySF]

27. The Trump rally was held inside an Airport hanger.

[Control-Z]

29. Idiots.

I can't either. Damn.

[RandySF]

30. It's a picture form Woodstock.

[Control-Z]

32. I know.

But, apparently his followers do not. Like I said, they're idiots.

[YOHABLO]

34. Most of us know ''Woodstock'' we were practically there ourselves.

[Totally Tunsie]

35. Sorry, THIS is Woodstock:

[KY_EnviroGuy]

36. Looks like Russian baiting of the lemmings to me.

We know damn well they love to stir up shit on both sides. The ones that respond as quoted are their targets and are now clearly identified for future use.

Perfect fodder for the GRU machine.

...........

[B Stieg]

37. Of course it's the 60's...Look at the Cars

Well, maybe it's an antique car swap meet, but those sure don't look like today's SUV's or hybrids!
A tRump rally my ass.

[caraher]

38. And this is Mike Huckabee playing the Star-Spangled Banner at the rally

[denbot]

42. Snort!

I LoL’d

[Sugar Smack]

45. LOL!!

[coti]

48. Bwwahahaa

[caraher]

39. Also... try not to get too worked up

It's a hobby for some RW idiots to peddle obvious BS just to piss us off. They know it's bogus, they just get off on watching people get frustrated or upset. So the less one gets caught up in it the better - it denies them the fix of "owning/triggering the libs" that they are looking for

[Maru Kitteh]

40. But then you have dumb as a damn rock humans like my MIL who will BELIEVE it, why?

Because it's a photo on FB "from Trump." They couldn't just post a fake photo on FB, the White House wouldn't allow it.

Seriously.

[anarch]

43. this is a very important point

Don't let them get to you; and/or find some way to fuck with their heads (if possible; half the "conservative" voices you hear out in the wild of the interwebz these days are just Russian state influencers or bots anyway).

Here are a few fun ideas:

- assume whoever is posting stupid right-wing nonsense is a Russian bot
(and as a corollary, people seem to get upset when you call them a bot, I don't know why)

- look at the matter objectively: the MAGAt perspective on the world is so far removed from what we as a society generally agree is "reality" that there's really no sense in getting upset about anything they say or think. They are fucking hopeless; you might as well have a conversation with a box of rocks as try to have any kind of meaningful exchange of ideas with these morons.

- fuck with their heads! if possible, try to get them to agree to some basic tenet of communism (workers should enjoy the fruits of their labor, for instance) and end the conversation with some kind of "thanks comrade! I can see we're on the same page now!" sort of statement, so that it's clear that you've "won" the argument or whatever, and then just fuck off from the conversation, let them splutter and try to figure out what happened.

Meh...I'm still working on my approach here. If each of us can somehow get just one person to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh/Fox News, the world would be a much better place.

[Lock him up.]

41. Report to FB?

Illegal use of picture from Woodstock.

I don't use FB. No idea how to do that.

[GoCubsGo]

46. So, the Trumps and their cult are all driving 50-year-old vehicles?

That station wagon in the bottom right-hand corner is a dead giveaway that it IS Woodstock. When's the last time anyone saw a station wagon? It's been a couple of decades for me. It's not surprising that those suckers believe it's a Trump rally. They've allowed themselves to be conned by the World's biggest con man for all this time, and they'll believe anything that tries to make him look good.

[MFM008]

53. Every time you see a maggot rally

It looks like a high school basketball game
Crowd.

[DFW]

55. People who really believe this is a Trump rally (and I realize they are many in number) sing this...

Every morning to to the person they see in the mirror:
