đłïžâđđđœMAGA folks online are actually celebrating the loss by the U.S. womenâs soccer team to Sweden.
Itâs not America they love and want to âmake greatâ again, folks.
Mori@georgetakei Thatâs so weird yet makes perfect sense.
Kevin Russellsick sick people, broken by professionals, these people would have hated themselves before they were culted.
Champagne@georgetakei oh, but George! they donât sing the national anthem. They arenât patriotic!
Pathetic wanks.
Also, they canât handle that women were excelling for so long.

MessagingMatters@georgetakei Kind of ironic given the #socialist policies (healthcare, education etc.) funded by high taxes in #Sweden. Thatâs the #MAGA model now?
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@georgetakei All because Rapinoe is a lesbian with purple hair!
Gretchen Anderson@Doreen32128 @georgetakei triggered snowflakes!
joyandsadness@Doreen32128 @georgetakei Not a magat, i'm a european lettie woman. Her sexuality and hair color i don't give a shit about. I loath rapinoe because her sportmanship is lousy. She proved that with her behaviour against the dutch goalie when she won a big price at the last world tournament. US out? Hurray. Now maybe other players who can behave can have a shot making the team.
Stefan Scholl@joyandsadness @Doreen32128 @georgetakei And wasn't she the one who wanted a higher percentage of the ad revenue than the men because she âdeserves itâ?
@Stefan_S_from_H @joyandsadness @georgetakei After I posted my reply, I did have second thoughts about it. Yes, she was arrogant in her wins, yes she was! So I am backtracking a bit here. Itâs not just about her love life or hair color. Poor sportsmanship too. Thanks for pointing that out! I stand corrected!
@Doreen32128 @georgetakei Still weird to cheer that your team lost though. I don't really give a crap about soccer/football but even if your team sucks you should not be happy that they are out.
Kelownagurl@georgetakei OK that is just weird.
RiCK SAUNDERS@georgetakei But George they call it futbol and it's played by Europeans and why ain't then swimming home barefoot and pregnant instead of running around doinâ men's work. It's prob all too exotic for themâŠlike Outback Steakhouse. #ProFa #Hateriots
AJD@georgetakei the #USWNT is a group full of diversity. Diversity is what fascists hate. #fascists #MAGAfascists
Laure@georgetakei they jump on any and every trend to spin their angry culture war agitprop. People need to understand this is mass propaganda and we know from history, if we let it fill the vacuum without coordination in undermining it, they win.

Franklin Abrams@georgetakei the MAGA people hate our country. Any sign of human decency or compassion for others is ridiculed by them as âwokeâ. Their embrace of authoritarianism would make them good subjects of a fascist dictatorship, not citizens of a pluralistic democratic republic.

While I don't celebrate America's loss, I do congratulate Sweden.
American Exceptionalism is a dangerous concept and in sports, well, it's just unsportsmanlike (or unsportswomanlike in this case) conduct to not celebrate with the team that worked so hard and won.
Lena@georgetakei insanity

Max Gates@georgetakei they literally hate women more than they âloveâ AmericaâŠwow

VulcanTourist [MOVED]But... WOMEN were still victorious, so...???
a8e@georgetakei Would MAGA folks celebrate the team if they had won the world championship? It only would be consistent to hate them for winning.
The Sleepy One@georgetakei Nationalism isn't just thinly veiled zenophobia. It is a hatred for all things that are outside of their understanding. They cannot understand that other people aren't any less of a person because they appose your view. You are however very much an animal for hurting others or wishing harm on others because of their lack of conformity to your ideals.
Donna Whitman@georgetakei That's because their cult leader posted that HE was glad they lost because they were against America. They parrot whatever he says because they're unable to think for themselves.
readermomIt's the patriarchy...the USWNT has won the world cup FOUR times and, prior to this year, never finished lower than third. But imagine the gall of these accomplished, winning female athletes demanding to be compensated commensurate with their success! Republicans/MAGAs/"conservatives" can't stand the fact that the USWNT has been more successful than the men's team for years. It goes against their view of women as second-class citizens.
@georgetakei probably the same dickheads who called biles names because she'd rather quit and be safe then having an accident with possibel fatal ending during the games.

I assume this has something to do (in part) with (their mistaken belief) Sweden "proved" #Covid vaccinations were not necessary (and came out stronger as a result?) Or do they think there are no lesbians on the Swedish soccer team?
After months of massive deaths & a pandemic raging out of control, #Sweden finally wised up & started #vaccinating everyone.
If anyone needed an example of how PAINFULLY misinformed #Conservatives / #Trumpsters actually are, this is a prime example. đ€Šââïž
Kalle KniivilÀ@MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei Sweden vaccinated everyone as soon as vaccine was available. Most people took the shots.

Interesting. Though they DID refuse to institute reasonable safety precautions (most notably masking) for months at the height of the pandemic.

@MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei I live here and know a bit about what happened here. Not everything was perfect, but generally speaking we managed pretty good, and kept the society functioning.
@kallekn @georgetakei
"Not everything was perfect" is an interesting way to spin a 5% increase in mortality rates compared to neighboring Norway. đ€

@MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei That's one study comparing only Sweden and Norway, and only in 2020.
Magnus Ahltorp@MugsysRapSheet @kallekn Masking was discouraged in the initial stage since there was a severe lack of masks for the medical and care professionals. Instead the focus of the messaging was on avoiding crowds and keeping distance. After the shortage was resolved, mask use were not really encouraged, leading to criticism from mask proponents. Compulsory masks were never considered since there is no legal basis.
@ahltorp @kallekn
Masking was discouraged here as well early on, but Trumpsters heralded Sweden's refusal to institute generally accepted preventative measures and see if "herd immunity" could be achieved by allowing the virus to spread.
Regardless of when Sweden accepted this was a failed policy and reversed course, Trumpsters are STILL under the mistaken belief they never did and "proved" that masking & social distancing were unnecessary.
@MugsysRapSheet @kallekn Sweden never had a policy to let the virus spread, but there was a lot of talk in the media about herd immunity in the beginning. From the beginning, âflatten the curveâ was the core official message. There was however a sense that the virus would eventually spread, which of course happened everywhere, even â0-covidâ New Zealand. The main bad thing about Swedenâs handling of the crisis was badly run nursing homes with ill-equipped staff.
@ahltorp @kallekn
HOW #Sweden handled #Covid is irrelevant.
Trumpsters believe in the myth (that they let it run rampant and the citizens developed #HerdImmunity.)
@MugsysRapSheet @ahltorp It's not irrelevant. You cannot debunk the myth without facts. Also, while the merits of masking are disputable, those of vaccination are not.
@MugsysRapSheet @ahltorp Well, if you have given up on facts you do indeed live in the USA. (Could have been Russia as well, of course.)
@kallekn @ahltorp
I haven't "given up on facts". I've given up one believing #Republicans / #Conservatives / #Trumpsters / #Evangelicals could ever be swayed by them.

J.H.Noyes@MugsysRapSheet @ahltorp @kallekn
Letting it run rampant is definitely not confined to trunts. Biden's staggered removal of mitigations as vax efficacy declined demonstrated a desire to cultivate survivorship through deliberate exposure, aka democide. Biden's Omicron permeates all organs and is functionally impervious to CTL pressure, even among vaccinees. The infection is chronic. Replication and injury continue indefinitely after symptoms recede. Biden knew this when he let it rip.
@noyes @ahltorp @kallekn
"Biden's" Omicron??? đ€Šââïž
The Biden Admin pushed heavily to get everyone vaccinated. But Right Wingers simply refused to take ANY reasonable restrictions/precautions. The best he could hope for was that enough "reasonable" people would get vaccinated to achieve #HerdImmunity. Any failure to stop that spread falls on the shoulders of RW deniers (a bunch of pathetic children who would rather die than eat their peas.)
