It isn't pathetic, it is an engineered strategy that has been ongoing since before any of us were born and it's working because almost no one bothers to do anything but meme about it
I have my doubts that we did it twice. 2024 looks fishy. I'm glad it's finally starting to get talked about
Do you really think it will matter even if they find obvious election fraud?
I think it might get a lot of people who don't like what's happening but accept it to cross over into not accepting it.
I'm not super hopeful that it would matter legislatively or judicially, but I might be the kick in the pants the population needs to go on a general strike, or take other actions.
Sincerely hope you are right, we've gotten so many kicks in the pants so far
I mean, No Kings day was good but we need to do this EVERY DAY
Yes. Nothing more to say.
I hope you are right and will put what effort I can towards the goal, I just am not as sure about the outcome as you are.
I wish he was a communist. I hope I get to vote for a communist in my lifetime.
I feel like getting trump to write an angry tweet about you is as good an endorsement as Weird Al wanting to parody your song.
I read AOC +3 as like a d&d style stat modifier.
She's approaching peak power, send more vibes and she might upgrade to artifact
Looks terrible, grating voice, not very smart... Hmm, who does that remind me of?
Republicans always whine about themselves.
Yeah, that was my first thought
Calling that disgusting snake Chuck Schumer the Palestinian senator is pretty hilarious, given where he stands on the genocide.
Weird too because Shumer did not endorse Mamdani. Only a "congratulations". But in Trump land anything goes
Trump says somebody else is not smart
I'll often judge someone's character by who hates them. Zohran seems like a good guy
Make the man afraid some more.
I mean... good? Why would we want a politician that's acceptable to him?
He's prepping up the fascist transition for the midterms, and it couldn't be any more obvious. If it isn't outright theft it's going to be voter suppression and voter manipulation on an entirely different scale. It's so ridiculous to think the US is a democracy anymore, at this point the whole country is a confidence game and a scam that's just mobilizing the capital of the people who they already have scammed against new targets.
They already stole the last one. They are absolutely stealing the next ones til they get caught. Ivankas voting machine patent in China was no coincidence imo
"Ivanka's"
I don't think I've ever read anything so unhinged from a politician before.
Imagine calling someone out for his looks in a professional setting. In most places that would get you fired or sued.
So it should. We're supposed to be more civil than that. But as others have said, this is mask off. Trump unmasking what has been lying under the surface of the capitalistic elite for decades. Utter contempt for the working class who are basically regarded as slaves, and anyone with any influence or power who challenges them is painted as a traitor, criminal, and honorary slave as well.
Then you haven't seen his 20 minute meltdown post over what AOC said a few days ago.
Over her proposing to impeach to him? I didn't but I can imagine. Does he want to "deport" her as well?
has trump said anything about RKJ's voice being weird?
Honestly, if I lived in NY, this post on it's own would make me vote for him.
Of course, I'd have to live in the US too, which I don't, thank some deity.
That same deity is responsible for me living there. So.. thanks will not be given here
It’s like there was a creative writing exercise with a prompt to pack as much bullshit as possible into 5 sentences.
It’s constantly horrifying that our president communicates like this in public. Completely unreal.
If it pisses off trump this much, then it's a good thing.
It's amazing his blood pressure isn't off the charts considering how angry he is all the time. Then again, maybe it is. One can only hope.
More shrieking dictator every day.
Ha ha ha. This guys such a snowflake.
Pretty disgusted by all of you memeing the collapse of democracy
That's okay, we feel the same way about you. But more to the point, when you're in a situation where the only choice is whether to laugh or cry, it's just a question of how you want to cope.
Before reddit went soft there would be a dozen busy political activism threads encouraging people to join the protests and giving info how.
That's a lot better reaction than laughing or crying
I expected lemmy to be better and it turns out your just a touch more eloquent but that's all
Communist Trump doing it again
I like how they've gone full mask off and given up on the anti-semite attacks and are just calling anyone not calling for Gaza to be ethnically cleansed a Palestinian like it's an insult. Not even hiding the Islamophobia any more.
It's also double funny that he's calling fucking Schumer a Palestinian, it's like calling Biden a communist, which he also probably said. It just goes to show no matter how much the dems try to moderate to accommodate the conservatives they'll always be the enemy.
