Are You Familiar with the ‘Blue Bracelet’ Movement?

Are You Familiar with the ‘Blue Bracelet’ Movement?

“Like, I don’t know who’s on my side and who’s on the other side. I mean I know we’re going to start wearing the blue bracelets and I think that will help.”

Like many Democrats who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, the middle-aged woman in the clip below struggles to process her loss. She’s at a dog park, and feels very wary of those around her. She doesn’t know who is on her side and who’s on the other side. Apparently, there’s a plan for Trump resisters to start wearing blue bracelets to identify who can or cannot be trusted. This woman believes “that will help.” In the meantime, however, she worries that, because she is a white woman, others might think she voted for “him.” All of this has left her feeling very unsettled.

I am experiencing this unfamiliar feeling and I wondered if anyone else has been feeling this way. So, I’m at the dog park, and I feel so mistrustful. Like, I don’t know who’s on my side and who’s on the other side. I mean I know we’re going to start wearing the blue bracelets and I think that will help. But, like, does anyone else feel that?

I just have this fundamental mistrust. Like I’m just looking at everyone, going ‘Are you part of why this happened? Are you a safe person?’ I can only imagine how the marginalized communities are feeling right now. And I also don’t want people to be looking at me thinking, ‘Oh, white woman, she definitely voted for him.’ It’s a very unsettling feeling. Is anyone else experiencing that?

This woman’s reaction to President-elect Trump’s victory goes far beyond disappointment over a lost election and enters derangement territory. Like a member of a cult, she has lost all sense of self-awareness and has no idea of how ridiculous she sounds.

Fortunately, actor James Woods was happy to provide a reality check. Attaching her video to a post on X, he stated the obvious: “They wonder why we Americans gave President-elect Trump a landslide victory. We are just tired of crazy people quite frankly.”

It didn’t take long for Trump supporters to respond.

The young woman in the video below tells the blue bracelet brigade all they need to know.

Several weeks before the election, liberal podcast host Mark Halperin predicted that a Trump win would trigger “the biggest mental health crisis in America’s history, and it won’t just be a temporary issue that resolves by inauguration day.” He may be right.

The extremism that took over the Democratic Party when Trump declared his candidacy in 2015 has been nothing short of astonishing. No action was off the table because … Trump. For many on the left, resistance to Trump has become their religion.

Following President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, Republicans were incredibly disappointed. For good reason. We understood that his administration’s radical agenda would fundamentally change America and we were powerless to stop it. All we could do was wait four more years and trust voters to see for themselves how disastrous liberal governance would be for the country.

And voters were smarter than Democrats thought they were. Ultimately, despite the media’s elevation of Harris to rockstar status and the Democrats’ relentless gaslighting, they overwhelmingly chose Trump — across every demographic, and in every part of the country. He swept the swing states and won the popular vote. He even cut the size of his 2020 losses in deep blue states such as New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California in half. He shifted the electoral map and expanded his coalition. It was a decisive victory.

In the end, voters chose America First over America Last and common sense over insanity. Trump’s resounding victory was a collective shout of “Enough.”

Trump’s coalition has strengthened as the Democrats’ has weakened. A coalition consisting of well-educated and affluent citizens who are concentrated in large coastal cities will not win them many elections.

How did such a highly educated, elite, and enlightened bunch not see this coming? And how long will it take them to recover?

I think they would have more success if they ditched the bracelets and just held their breath until they turned blue.

Virtue signaling by sick people.

I guess they didn’t think purple hair was enough.

Be glad they are making themselves easily identifiable so we can avoid them.

These people could be a great resource to our country. Since they are mostly on the east and west coast, they could go put those wild fires out with their lib tears.

They love being divisive. Since I don’t actively hate people all the time just walking around I don’t need a way to identify who I hate and who I don’t. Caste systems are for the past and not something I want to bring into our current world.

ThePrimordialOrderedPair | November 12, 2024 at 3:29 pm

Like, I don’t know who’s on my side and who’s on the other side.

Just look for the weird, crazy, deranged people. And the arrogant pricks goading them on.

They’re yours.

    “So, I’m at the dog park, and I feel so mistrustful. Like, I don’t know who’s on my side and who’s on the other side. I mean I know we’re going to start wearing the blue bracelets and I think that will help. But, like, does anyone else feel that?”

    Typical deranged liberal. Has to create a brand new social signal of her own, to signal something for which there already exist several tried, true, and well-known social signals… and then worrying whether people will recognize the new subtle social signal she and her friends have devised.

    Hey, Amy, some advice:
    1. Wear a pussy hat.
    2. Wear a face mask.
    3. (Optional) Color your hair purple.

    I guarantee that any American laying eyes on you will immediately know where you stand politically, what you think feel, and whether to greet you or hurriedly cross to the other side of the street

My favorite is the woman who wants a law forcing Trump supporters to always wear a MAGA hat in public so that people can see who the Nazis are. I think she missed her own point.

    PrincetonAl in reply to Ironman. | November 12, 2024 at 3:47 pm

    I’m thinking wear a red hat AND a yellow Star of David armband to see if she catches on.

    Bet the irony still escapes her.

    She might prefer to have numbers tattooed on their forearms.

      JohnSmith100 in reply to jb4. | November 12, 2024 at 5:09 pm

      Maybe an RFID implant like we use on cows. That would make it easy to keep them out of places civilized people go.

    diver64 in reply to Ironman. | November 12, 2024 at 4:54 pm

    Yeah, a bunch of us don’t need a law to wear a MAGA hat fly a Trump flag. In fact, o er half the country doesn’t need a law to do it.

To show their REAL SUPPORT, all of the disappointed voters need to get a tattoo on their forehead.

Speaking of crazy women in dog parks. Several years ago I was with my dogs in a dog park, and my dog did something minor and this middle aged woman went crazy and became abusive. At one point I thought she might strike me. Good thing for her she didn’t. It was bizarre. Now these nutty women are really going crazy to the point where they might be dangerous. Be especially careful in NYC or California.

    alaskabob in reply to oden. | November 12, 2024 at 7:10 pm

    Daughter just snuffed her father with an ice axe in Seattle over the election. His last name wasn’t even Trotsky.

      DaveGinOly in reply to alaskabob. | November 12, 2024 at 8:32 pm

      It’s not being reported as a tiff over the election. Local news is saying they had an argument over keeping lights turned on that should be off. I imagine she wanted the lights off to “save the planet” and dad didn’t have sufficient enthusiasm for that notion. So she tripped him, pounced on him, biting and choking him, then took an ice axe to him. Perfectly normal. Happens all the time.

      henrybowman in reply to alaskabob. | November 13, 2024 at 3:48 am

      Dude in MN just iced his wife, two kids, ex-GF, and himself over it.
      The “largest mental break in history” is officially underway.

ThePrimordialOrderedPair | November 12, 2024 at 3:49 pm

Like a member of a cult, she has lost all sense of self-awareness and has no idea of how ridiculous she sounds.

I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s sounded like that her whole life. She probably hit her intellectual peak at the beginning of her mother’s third trimester.

The paranoia is off the charts. People she interacted with daily with no issues are suddenly a danger to her?

TDS is real and somehow these people need to be deprogrammed. IMO they really have been brainwashed.

I continue to recommend my mantra when confronted with these types:

Go Home and GROW UP.

    DaveGinOly in reply to Hodge. | November 12, 2024 at 8:41 pm

    What do you do when you run into a Trump supporter when you’re otherwise alone in a secluded spot?
    You say, “Hello. How are you today?”

I have to say that I’ve lived in several states from New England to out west and drove a truck in all 48 states over more than 30 yrs. I have never met these crazy people anywhere even in California or Seattle. Never

    CommoChief in reply to diver64. | November 12, 2024 at 6:01 pm

    I suspect the wokiestas don’t frequent truck stops or old fashioned barber shops, anywhere firearms are sold, ranges, hardware stores and so on. IOW they don’t tend to immerse themselves in middle-class/working class activities, past times and especially not firearms related.

    To see them in the wild go to a Whole Foods or to an overpriced pretentious restaurants offering some sort of ‘__fusion’ cuisine. Maybe an antique store in an upscale location. If there’s a college campus nearby just take a walk stroll wearing a MAGA hat and you will probably encounter them scurrying towards you with a contemptuous gleam in their eye.

    DaveGinOly in reply to diver64. | November 12, 2024 at 8:45 pm

    I was walking in a natural area near Olympia, WA, open carrying. A middle-age woman with what I call “the Look” approached and stopped me so she could loudly berate me for causing her to fear for he life.

    Yeah, they are that crazy and completely without a shred of self-awareness.

Loved Jenny in the last clip, especially the ending – “That tree of Liberty is looking thirsty”. Go off, Boss!

I think Dennis Prager has it right. The only question is whether the nation can survive this blessing.

The Dems’ 2020 Victory Was a Blessing in Disguise

Often the side head pony tail is an indicator that someone might be bay shit crazy, glad to discover a second indicator.

I think they just need to identify spaces that are very very safe— might even have the appearance of some sort of camp— and they all should just go there where they only see and breathe the same air as their “own kind.” And they should just stay there. Forever.

Of course they would need to find fellow liberals to work there— cooks, electricians, plumbers, etc. Good luck with that!

    henrybowman in reply to bev. | November 13, 2024 at 1:07 am

    That’s hardly green. They should be supplied with potters, weavers, shamans, hetmen, fire-tenders, astrologers, and blood-letters.

The Laird of Hilltucky | November 12, 2024 at 5:45 pm

For decades it has been known that liberals have defective reasoning bordering on the insane. It has only gotten worse. It now looks like these leftists are demon possessed.

I know that many do not believe such things exist in our modern times, but what other explanation fits the perceived phenomena?

    irishgladiator63 in reply to The Laird of Hilltucky. | November 12, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    I’ve had this conversation with my uncle several times. It may well be demonic influence. But never underestimate the evil humans can do all on their own.

    Invoking demonic possession is just an excuse for the worst human behavior. There are evil humans and mentally defective humans, and there are humans who are both. No demons necessary. Stop making excuses for the human race, or at least stop making excuses for the worst of us.

    Demonic possession is just an antique word for psychosis.
    Whether or not you believe they both are caused by demons or by biochemistry is still your choice.

I live in a town where Harris got 63% of the vote which also means that it was probably a high majority of the female population. There are a lot of female dog walkers in the local park with some women are walking more than one dog. They say that a dog owner will sometimes look like their dog, I sometimes see this but what stands out more about them is that there seems to be a higher probability that the owner will smell like their dog.

Just tattoo a blue “L” on your forehead. The rest of us already know you’re a loser, and with a tattoo, you won’t have to try to remember to put it on every time you leave your house.

    tbonesays in reply to daveclay. | November 14, 2024 at 4:05 pm

    I am here to say they should have the option to mark their foreheads as well as wrists. Tell them it is for appendage-diverse persons.

Doctor, doctor help me please, I know you’ll understand
There’s a time device inside of me, I’m a self-destructing man
There’s a red, under my bed
And there’s a little green man in my head
And he said, “You’re not going crazy. You’re just a bit sad
‘Cause there’s a man in you, gnawing you, tearing you into two.”

Meanwhile, other women are buying blue Trump bracelets just to f*ck with them.

Ys this is the movement where the lefty loons are going to tag themselves so we can spot them easier. Kind of like “Here’s your sign”.

    DaveGinOly in reply to Gremlin1974. | November 12, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    Aren’t they supposed to be afraid Trump is going to round them all up and put them in a gulag? And they’re making it easier for Trump’s imagined goons to identify them? I swear, these types don’t think things through.

    henrybowman in reply to Gremlin1974. | November 13, 2024 at 1:18 am

    Please.
    As if the purple hair, face hardware, extra 100 lbs., and neck tattoos are too subtle.
    Yeah, adding a bracelet should do it.

the bracket shown should also have yellow beads with the red n black.
make sure the red touches the yellow beads…
“red touch yellow kill a fellow”
coral snake markings.

Everyone should wear a blue bracelet so this crazy lady will continue to be confused–and so the rest of us can simply carry on with luxuriating in MAGA!

    henrybowman in reply to eb6430. | November 13, 2024 at 1:33 pm

    Better yet, wear a bracelet that’s not quite blue but close enough to give her major indecision.
    I know, I’m a little stinker.

Instead of blue bracelets, these vile Dhimmi-crat fanatics should be wearing blue straitjackets.

The Gentle Grizzly | November 12, 2024 at 9:59 pm

How many of them will be dumb enough to wear them the job interviews? I mean the interview that you get after you’ve cleared the crazy women in HR. I’m talking about the interview with the real boss.

She should just ask FEMA . . .

So… they’ve moved on to blue bracelets? Aren’t pink pussy hats good enough?

thalesofmiletus | November 13, 2024 at 8:45 am

If only there were a way to mark the stupid people and make them think it was their idea…

Jenny is intense!

Finicky Fat Guy | November 13, 2024 at 11:20 am

Wait until they approach an “ally” who is really wearing a blue vracelet in support of the police, as I have been known to do in honor of a family member killed on the job.

    henrybowman in reply to Finicky Fat Guy. | November 13, 2024 at 1:38 pm

    Ooh! Great monkey-wrench idea! Have pro-police orgs hand out “back the blue” bracelets free to their supporters. It’s time we stopped letting progressives arrogate extremely common symbols to themselves without pushback (such as rainbows, stars, hammers, and gears).

      MajorWood in reply to henrybowman. | November 13, 2024 at 6:05 pm

      My favorite bumper sticker was a modded rainbow where someone had added “God Frowning.”

      I think there was also a cause where people could show support by wearing blue jeans that day. Never saw so many pairs of chinos in my life at work. Now thinking it was a marketing person at Lands End who came up with the idea.

I must sympathize briefly — I felt the same way when I went to the grocery store the day after the NHL postponed their season at the outset of the scamdemic.

Except I was easily able to identify the co-conspirators — they were masked, already, while alone in their cars.

Hopefully she can see the blue bracelet in her bathroom mirror.

I believe the correct label is 666.

Where are these videos coming from? Oh, yeah, Tok-Tok, the same place that has been cultivating trans-ism in kids. It is almost like somebody is interested in agitating the vulnerable and turning them into unhappy, useful idiots. I’ve heard tell the CCP has something to do with this.

Also, the Democrat Party’s campaign of slander/censorship has had an effect. These women believe we’re out to get them, because they’ve been told exactly that.

While I totally get the urge to point and giggle at these hapless people, I also think it might be a good idea to convey the message: “We aren’t out to get you. All we want to do is solve some long-standing problems with our government.”

    artichoke in reply to Valerie. | November 15, 2024 at 10:22 am

    I’m not that quick to forgive. Remember only two weeks ago they were out to get YOU, until their tools were taken away at least for the moment.

I’ll wear a sky-blue bracelet.

Need to start photoshopping blue bracelets onto bears.

I took my last psychiatry rotation in med school about 12 years ago. I might have to look up some of that old material. Wow…mass paranoid schizophrenia is a new one!
