Assuming that quote is originally from The Simpsons and not a parody on that particular episode, this shirt is actually giving off the WRONG message and probably not what he, as a Trump fan, intends.

The idea behind the quote is that Homer feels he isn't to blame for the human race being made into slaves because he voted for Kodos, but either candidate(Kodos or Kang) would have made the human race slaves to build a death ray.

My friends thinking is likely "shit is going to go downhill under Biden, but it isn't my fault because I voted for Trump" which isn't what was meant by the original quote in the Simpsons episode.

I don't like getting into political arguments with friends but this shirt makes him look ultra dumb. Not because it's Trump, because whatever, but because it takes the Simpsons quote and misinterprets it. Taken within the context of the simpsons episode, Trump is also working towards enslaving all of America, just like Biden, not that he is better.

Don't worry; somebody's coming to put a benevolent spin on it.

Yup. People that buy T-shirts like that don't really think as far as you're capable of.

That's the funniest fucking shirt ever if true.

Half a million dead people from a virus that Trump pretended would go away on its own, "don't blame me, I voted for Trump".

And what if it's not?

Nobody really needs to do anything, considering the whole thing hinges on a faulty premise. Worse still, instead of going through this whole thought experiment, the core question could have been asked and answered if Argo just asked the guy a few questions. While it's difficult to know what the shirt's maker had intended, you could certainly figure out the guy was thinking when he bought it. And as much as I love the Simpsons, the show didn't come up the underlying expression any more than it came up with the idea of Trump running for president.

And you're welcome.

Well, the whales have been getting a little full of themselves.
