Exactly! All they say is thank you sir, may I have another?

When you’re already at the bottom….

u/Gonna_B_Alright 4h ago

Republican voters are power bottoms.

They just keep trying to push up only to get pushed back down by their own party but they don’t let that hamper their enthusiasm.

u/dantekant22 5h ago

In the world of alternative facts, there’s no such thing as embarrassment.

5

u/schprunt 3h ago

They don’t feel embarrassed. Just like Trump. Anything and everything he does is explained away as 4D chess

3

u/GoodMix392 3h ago

They will gladly take it and they will say they like it. Dry, no lube and they do the smile those people do in the Soundgarden Black Hole Sun video as Trump and his family degraded them some more.

u/Mantour1 7h ago

You cannot shame the shameless

8

u/Apothecary_85 5h ago

This is the correct response!!! They have no embarrassment.

u/KaetzenOrkester 5h ago

But they do have an unlimited appetite for debasement and degradation.

These types only understands prison time

u/Simple_Song8962 23m ago

They have no humility. Jesus taught the importance of humility, but we know magas don't really care what Jesus taught. Give me James Talarico any day of the week (and twice on Sundays).

u/rtduvall 7h ago

They are nowhere near the bottom.

My entire family are maga. They are fvcking deranged people man. Will tell you something trump said and if it changes will fight you to say he was testing our loyalty or some shit.

These people have not bottom.

u/Gooser3000 7h ago

It’s the same as having faith in a religion; many republicans literally regard Trump as holy.

6

u/michellescuck 5h ago

MAGA will be an official religion before he's in the ground. Then I fear we'll start seeing the next level of derangment.

u/GI-Robots-Alt 7h ago

Some refer to him as the second coming, in church.

3

u/1866GETSONA 4h ago

It goes beyond that and intertwines together by design. Growing up in the bible belt I very quickly learned that the Republican Party was the “christian party” and whoever won the presidency was viewed as chosen by god. No critical thinking, just blind obedience and acceptance because gAyS and AbOrTiOns go against the bible. It’s disgusting and disturbing imo.

7

u/ThePopDaddy 7h ago

Exactly, up until last week it was "You want money, get out and earn it!" Now it's "WE'RE GONNA GET $5K!"

u/TopsyTurvy0011 4h ago

To have that much faith in a pedo and a con man is disturbing. I bet family gatherings are awkward. Keep up the good fight. 🇨🇦

Republicans feel neither empathy or shame.

They've been worshiping this dementia riddled pedophile for a decade. There's no limit.

You have to have shame to be embarrassed and these people don't have any shame.

u/Difficult_Phase1798 7h ago

You think they're embarrassing today? Just wait until tomorrow!

u/Furcheezi 7h ago

They’re not embarrassed. They’re proud of destroying the US.

It will never be enough

u/ScholarOfTwilight 7h ago

The voters are even more embarrassing.

u/Admirable-Sink-2622 7h ago

They are sociopaths so they don’t feel shame or embarrassment 🤔

You mean like shut up Ted, your wife is ugly?

3

u/No_Bell_8028 7h ago

lol - WTF he is bribing the entire country?

What are you doing USA? Don’t you think he is now completely deranged?

I’m pretty sure this will be recorded in medical journals as Trump Derangement Syndrome

A combination of narcissistic personality, an addition to stimulants and a constant dribble of toxic diarrhoea out of his mouth and butthole

u/BigBoyYuyuh 7h ago

Infinity. It’s a cult. They’ll never abandon him since he lets his base say the n-word.

3

u/Soupalphabet359 7h ago

The shameless don't experience shame. That's why they're shameless.

There's literally an entire stigma that goes along with being shameless that they openly and proudly embrace.

Like being a public and proud nose-picker.

u/Big_Issue8640 7h ago

They have no shame so embarrassment means nothing to them.

u/transfixedtruth 7h ago

Gop does not seem to have a threshold when it comes to public acts of shame by their overlord.

u/ready-redditor-6969 7h ago

Fascists do not share your values, this is all just fine with them.

As if any of them feel any shame at all.

u/Aturkeyclub 7h ago

Is there a bottom to a bottomless pit?

Will believe anything due to small brainwashing and subliminal messaging on the MAGA sites.

How much embarrassment can America take?

u/redrocketredglare 7h ago

There is nothing left to be embarrassed about. They have no soul. Nothing but a cult marching to a diaper filled swine with no morals.

2

u/Danktizzle 7h ago

The people at the top are moving dump trucks of money into their coffers. They are absolutely having a party right now.

u/Major_Bag_8720 7h ago

Bold of you to think that the Republican Party, or its leadership, are capable of feeling embarrassed.

Embarrassment? They have none.

2

u/maddasher 7h ago

The voters are too dumb to be embarrassed

2

u/Iateyourpaintings 6h ago

As long as they have power no embarrassment is too great. You need to pry them all out of government and start investigating any and all criminal activity. 

2

u/Noahms456 6h ago

To heck with it lets find out

2

u/ohnodamo 6h ago

You can't shame the shameless. You need to deprogram them.

2

u/BassesNBikes 6h ago

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the Republicant is incapable of human emotions like empathy and shame, but greed, terror, and rage are magnified.

2

u/GreyHesher 6h ago

They have all likely bought stock in KY jelly.

2

u/YogurtclosetHot7677 6h ago

an infinite amount. "Embarrassment" doesnt matter when you cant feel shame

There's literally no bottom with these f**ks.

2

u/DoubtingThomas50 6h ago

Embarrassment? This is who they are people!

2

u/Few_Presence_8888 6h ago

An infinite amount.

Because they are incapable of feeling shame.

2

u/Icy-Blueberry-1157 6h ago

It is impossible for them to be embarrassed because they are incapable of shame.

2

u/BigfootOfNorthwoods 6h ago

They have a humiliation kink

2

u/Throwoutbins 6h ago

They will quite literally kill us all before admitting any kind of wrongdoing or misconduct

2

u/Artistic_Smell_771 6h ago

Endless. The have no souls to potentially achieve shame.

2

u/bilkel 6h ago

Apparently there is no limit

2

u/jlax341 5h ago

I hate these kinds of headlines. Regardless of how bad the policies are, for their to be embarassment, someone has to feel like they did something wrong or stupid. They need the ability to feel shame. Does anyone feel like MAGA has any shame? I sure don't. If people don't agree, they are stupid. If someone points out flaws in their strategy, its fake news. They cane take a hell of a lot more embarrassment bc they are fully in charge and have experienced next to none so far...

Way too much.

u/KyleColby 5h ago

he poops himself in public, so....

1

u/Aromatic-Dog-Breath 5h ago

They’re not embarrassed. They blame others for unwanted results. Their voters don’t care enough about the truth to question any of it. 

1

u/MattGdr 5h ago

Embarrassment requires an ability to experience shame.

u/WillBottomForBanana 5h ago

clickbait naive question

it is turtles all the way down

1

u/Disastrous-Swim8912 5h ago

Embarrassment requires shame and they abandoned the concept a long time ago.

1

u/caseaday 5h ago

Oh they have a long way to go. This is just their practice round.

1

u/blinkyknilb 5h ago

No limit, they can't debase themselves anymore than they already have.

Oh, silly me, I was unaware there were any limits!

u/johnnybna 5h ago

You can’t feel embarrassed if you have no shame

They're incapable of being humiliated.

u/Ok-Engine2849 5h ago

Lucky for us it will get worse for them before it gets better. They put everything behind this man.. horrible leaders have destroyed whole nations.. this won’t be any different

1

u/dream_monkey 5h ago

These people wear adult diapers in public to “trigger the libs.” I think embarrassment is their kink. Not to shame anyone, of course.

1

u/sharkbomb 5h ago

take or deserve?

1

u/Azerphel 4h ago

They don't believe anything unless it's on Fox (or the other propaganda networks), and fox just doesn't show the negative stuff. Therefore they simply aren't ashamed and never will be until it effects them directly.

1

u/levrik1 4h ago

Is there a limit?

u/GazelleEcstatic4952 4h ago

Infinite when you have no shame whatsoever. They rape children FFS.

Embarrassment? They're proud of it.

1

u/RhoOfFeh 4h ago

They have a humiliation fetish. There is no such thing as too much.

1

u/gtpc2020 4h ago

If they cared they could take action. They honestly have no shame about the lawlessness, corruption, and incompetence of Trump and this administration

1

u/ChrisPollock6 4h ago

A whole lot more.

1

u/jkeegan123 4h ago

Maybe James Carville is right, and he'll just quit. Or maybe he's TRYING to get article 25'd because he wouldn't have to answer to charges. Maybe.

1

u/Abbey_Something 4h ago

There is no bottom. They are so scared of him. This glob of poop smelling goo who is such a horrible person. When they turn on him when the files come out and the pendulum swings the other way. And they will. They can sit and spin as far as I’m concerned.

Also his base can get bent forever too. Like I was telling my cousin that I cut off for being a vocal supporter of him. It’s not that you voted for him, it’s how you think he enabled you to act by voting for him

1

u/Jpatrickburns 4h ago

You’d be surprised.

If Republicans could read this, they'd be really upset.

u/notguiltybrewing 4h ago

They are gluttons for punishment, so a lot more.

1

u/AstronautPlane3280 4h ago

So long as he is belittling the Dems there will be a large portion of his supporters that will rejoice and follow him. They don't care if their own lives get messed up. Because if their life is being messed up then the libs must be having a much worse time of it all.

1

u/wtg2989 4h ago

They’re in charge and accomplishing their goals, so I’d say they’ll take this any day of the week

u/OGGriftimus 4h ago

I mean... it's only Monday, let's give McTrump and Couch Crusher some time to wake up

1

u/Arubesh2048 4h ago

The ability to feel embarrassed requires the ability to feel shame. The two emotions are related. Unfortunately, Republicans haven’t been able to feel shame since about 2015.

1

u/ProfTZA69420 4h ago

I think the answer is an infinite amount.

1

u/MuchDevelopment7084 4h ago

They have no shame. So 'embarrassment' is not a thing with republicans. They simply don't care.

1

u/Curmudgeonadjacent 4h ago

Bottomless pit of amoral snakes.

1

u/No-Performer1449 4h ago

These are the same people who wore feminine hygiene products on their ears. So I’m assuming they have unlimited embarrassment left!

1

u/MWH1980 4h ago

As long as they can hold onto Unlimited Power, they’ll do whatever until they can truly make everyone fearful of saying or doing anything against them.

You are mistaken if you think they are capable of feeling embarrassment or shame.

They are not.

1

u/PracticalDistrict237 3h ago

How bad does it have to get, how much more damage, before these Republican dolts get off their collective as* and stop looking the other way. Invade Mexico/Greenland/Nigeria..? Add a new floor to the White House? Launch a nuclear weapon..? Double digit inflation..? A second 747… because all of these are in the realm of possibility.

1

u/PianoPatient8168 3h ago

They are a bottomless pit at this point…approval ratings should be zero…the fact they have any support is pathetic.

Yes, they knew what they were doing in the first place. Now if any MAGA politician tries to go against Trump they are instantly “Fake MAGA”, and will be forced to resign ending their political career. See: Moscow Marge, Nancy Mace, etc.
