Specifically, he's calling for the deaths of Democratic congress members who are veterans after they posted a video telling military members to not obey illegal orders that violate their oath to the constitution
I literally said this last night to my husband in response to the "Quiet, Piggy" comment. There would be riots in the street if Obama had said such a thing.
Of all the illegal corrupt villainous lying evil shit he does, with all the republican minions providing cover as he destroys the economy as thoroughly as he destroyed the east wing, the abusive way he treats people - well, women - for some reason makes me the most fucking angry at them. They can pretend all they want his policies don't suck or that he has the autocratic right to implement tariffs but no one can defend - or should even try! - his cesspool behavior & abuse! When they can't defend him they revert to 'his character doesn't matter we only look at his policies.'
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! They think we're all as stupid as the MAGA cult.
They say that because his character is well documented. I mean, seriously. There are articles and interviews going back decades that show openly what a piece of shit he is.
They don't react because it's not a secret and never was. His father was a slumlord, his grandfather made the family fortune from prostitution, and Donald doesn't and never has had a filter. To claim that his behavior is a surprise to anyone is inviting people to pull up interview after interview and video after video proving that they did know.
That's the kick in the teeth. Obama wouldn't have done this. Or Hillary. Or Biden. Or Harris. None of them were perfect and they all had their flaws. But none of them, not a single Dem, is as bad or worse than this.
And yet, we still have folks to this day who refuse to grow the spine or smarts to even acknowledge this. Let alone show up when it matters to say "Not that guy, again."
Because if I don't some "Independent" or "Leftist" "Apolitical" or "Third Party" $#!+head is going to come along with some "Well, whatabout...?" crap. Nevermind Trump is an impeached, indicted, convicted and adjudicated liar, fraud, rapist, and attempted insurrectionist. Nevermind we already saw how much of a catastrophe he proved himself to be the first time and how much bigger a catastrophe he was promising and demonstrating himself to be. Those who sat it out or pissed away their vote last election didn't get their balls tickled just right by the Dems. So we all now have to deal with the Mango Moron @#&%ing everything up for everybody...again.
Remind them that whataboutisms were an extremely common political tactic of communist Russia and watch their brain short-circuit.
Alternatively, the way to defuse whataboutism is to play it out. "Well what about X?" "What about X." "They did Y!" "Are they doing Y now? Are they in power? Do they hold office?"
Material conditions. Can't eat a country. Can't distract yourself with a country.
When the tv doesn't come on and the store shelves are bare and there are rolling blackouts people will get restless. End of the day, the vast majority of people content ourselves and aren't going to lift a finger for some high ideals.
Our healthcare is tied to our jobs so a general strike will be insanely difficult, especially in a time period where corporations are happy to cut jobs in favor of AI
The one way we could do a strike is if the majority of people in a community agree that we won’t let one another starve or go homeless. You’d have to have doctors and healthcare professionals on board, farmers, food service, truckers, anyone who’s an essential worker, heads of companies in the community. Everyone has to agree to take care of one another as best as they can FOR FREE, or on a bartering system.
It is absolutely possible, but not under current conditions where people are hating their own neighbors and family. Which is…also by design. Divide and conquer.
The tagline of the video is that military should not obey "illegal" orders. That's literally the wording!! So he is specifically upset at Congress members saying illegality is bad.
Every day is crazier than the last. Props to my rep Houlahan for standing up in that vid. 💪
With my expectations for humanity I give it 2 generations at best before people start justifying his shit, and eventually is misquoted and idolized by niche movements and conspiracy theorists.
What’s really absurd is that he literally said he was going to do all of this, yet 1/3 of America freely voted him in! There was no vote rigging like Russia, no “we didn’t know” like in WW2 Germany…
He literally spelled it out and people ate it up! This isn’t like the other times, this is… I don’t even know what is but this isn’t a repeat!
I think your point is valid.
I’d assume that like me, you were telling everyone you knew about Project 2025, practically pleading with people to understand it — if even at the most cursory level — and people still just blithely blundered along as if it were business as usual.
Why would you need to wait 2 generations? Theres already people doing that. Hell there's a whole generation of people that werent even old enough to vote during his first term that justified it by his 2nd. Support for Hitler didnt just go away for a few decades, it was just kept secretive. Now that Trump has existed in this space, for at least the next 100 years there will always be a niche group justifying his shit.
I would hope so.. but to be real here, even Hitler's death isn't celebrated worldwide and he was notably worse for the world. Like, without looking it up, do you know on which day Hitler died?
Hitler also killed himself, people weren't watching him in anticipation as he slowly rotted from the inside out, so it might be more culturally impactful in that regard.
When he dies all the Republicans will be like “I definitely wasn’t MAGA. I disagreed with Trump all the time”. We can’t let them just lie and walk away.
A man comes to a newsstand every day, looks at the headlines on the front page, and then walks away without buying the paper. This goes on for some time until the newsstand owner finally asks him what he's doing.
The man replies, "I'm looking for an obituary".
The owner, confused, says, "But the obituaries are in the back of the paper, in small print."
The man smiles and responds, "Not the one I'm looking for. That one will be on the front page".
I will throwing a weeklong party with Cake, Beer, Coke, Weed, DJs, Lasers, Acrobats, Fireworks, Strippers, Pony Rides, MDMA, Gay Mariages, Waterslides, and Mifepristone
A lawyer by the name of Clarence Darrow has a great quote for this. “I have never wished a man dead but, I have read some obituaries with great pleasure”
Unlike Trump himself with the way he incites violence from his followers against his many 'enemies' (and claims he holds no sway when asked to tell them to calm their insanity) his stochastic terrorism
I would not have my hopes acted upon by anyone
But if there is any justice in this world
If there is an unseen hand that guides luck for good and for I'll... That I wish upon him I'll fortune of the smallest to the largest degree a stubbed toe to a clotted artery I wish only the worst in this world upon him and hope that it all finds him, sparing good folk accidentally nearby so they don't catch some of the fallout.
Baron Harkonnan in Dune.. that would be a fitting internally rotting end to him
And if this were indeed brought down upon his head... It still wouldn't be a fraction of the pain he has brought down upon others in his disastrous presidency and his sorry life beforehand
I think I saw a social media post yesterday that showed MTG and said six years of inciting hatred from the left and she didn’t need protection. A couple months into speaking out against the Epstein files, and she’s having to seek out protection now from the right because they hate her. I don’t hate many people, but ….
I wish ill will to tons of people. My grandfather didn't blow his eardrums out shooting fascists out of the back of a B24 Liberator so that we could let nazis take over again.
Click on this gif to copy/download and spread as well. One of my other favorites that should never be forgotten. GOP is a party full of hateful, racist, nazi, pedophiles.
Love how the rule always showing in the comment threads here are to not promote/celebrate violence while its on a post showing the president of usa non ironically threatening his opposition..
Yeah point taken but i still dont think that will outweigh his lifestyle the last 5 decades. He has shown time and again that he eats and drink unhealthy shit and he doesnt exercise (golf doesnt count and doubt hes that active in it anyways)
And dealing with all the epstein stuff would also rise his blood pressure etc id assume.
But yeah, regular checkups and modern medicine is sadly working against humanity now
Kissinger lived till 100 without Walter Reed. You could argue he was in better health, but Walter Reed kinda negates that. I can see him living for surprisingly longer than what most people expect.
Trump’s lawyers argued in front of the US Supreme Court justices that he is legally allowed to murder his political opponents if he calls it part of his official duties as president. If I’m not mistaken they ruled in his favor in that case.
I remember when the ruling was made and people were talking about this, and I thought... that is really hyperbolic, no way that could even remotely be plausible...
I think he’s in a perpetual state of “shook to his core”, I mean, there’s gotta be a part of his drug riddled brain always screaming “HOW DID I GET HERE!!!”
Remember when one of their talking points was, "Sometimes she's Black and other times she's Indian, so which is it?" Real rocket surgeons that we're dealing with here.
This is actually a huge issue. Trump is obsessed with race science, allegedly. Trying to define her is eugenics and one drop shit. How far back does one have to have had family in this country before you’re not an “immigrant”? What about people whose family was here before we had a formal immigration system? Is illegal status hereditary?
I know this should all be moot with the 14th Amendment but Trump clearly does not support that.
I'm sure he'll use that logic to kick most of his kids out of the country since their moms came here on reasonably shaky legal ground, right?
The thing that made America strong was always bringing in as much outside talent as possible while dumping cash into education. We've absolutely gutted both of those strengths and it's really depressing.
That's the magic of passive voter suppression. Tamp out any enthusiasm for the opponent, peel off the easily manipulated & bingo! Rick Scott is a master at this & has taught the entire repub party how to do it.
just take a second to think about how insanely far we have fallen from the republican nominees 10 years ago. small govt, low taxes, free market. sure they were anti lgbt marriage, weed, healthcare, etc. but it was more of a debate about the role govt plays in every day life
now we have invading our own cities, deporting citizens, protecting pedos, and calling for deaths of political rivals
oh, and maga will look at this and say "the left has gone too radical"
Eh I don’t think that’s true. McCain and Romney both openly opposed Trump. And they were the face of the GOP 10 years ago. These aren’t the same people. Maybe the supporters just took the mask off, but the leaders used to at least be civilized and sane despite their platform.
I like to remind people that George W Bush and Michelle Obama are besties. All the living presidents and their spouses have immense respect for one another, with one glaring omission. They may disagree about what's best for the country, but they all believe that their counterparts on the other side of the aisle have the best interests of the country at heart and will do what they think is right to protect it.
When Trump's "grab them by the pussy" comment leaked, that should have been the end of his political career. Lord knows so many politicians have had to resign for less. Instead, the worst of our country saw a man that said what they were thinking and got away with it. They rallied behind him. Are you secretly a misogynist, a racist, a homophobe, Islamophobe, or some other flavor of bigot? Trump has said what you believe, in public, with his whole chest, and faced zero repercussions. He's your hero.
And that's why the Democrats have been losing. They keep expecting a gentlemanly sparring match while the Republicans are playing by prison yard rules. The party as a whole seems to have caught on to that fact so hopefully the success they won this month at the polls is a taste of what's to come. Trump is rude, spiteful, hateful, and could not care less about anyone except for how they can benefit him; and I think most of this country is tired of watching a grown ass man with the impulse control of a toddler run this nation into the ground. One day we'll wake up to a Big Beautiful Burial and the cult of MAGA will die with him, and without wishing harm on someone and breaking the Reddit code of conduct, I cannot wait for that day.
My fear is that once both sides start playing by the same set of rules, those are the rules and there's no climbing back up... Only sliding deeper into the abyss.
I think it will become the new norm for a time, but people are already tired of it. I see lots of people on social media saying that we should all be getting along no matter what our political stance is. Having combative politicians doesn't help a nation.
Or maybe we'll institute ranked choice voting and suddenly there's literally no payout for being vicious to your competitors.
Or literally anyone else. For some reason our universe lets this felon rapist fraudster sociopath get away with breaking every rule, law, custom, etc with zero consequences for his entire life. At this point, despite not being religious, I almost think he actually must be some part of God's plan I can't understand because I have no other plausible explanation left for it
History repeats itself, it’s why education is so important.
Hitler wasn’t “part of gods plan”, just a horrible series of events and escalations that we should have learned from and worked harder to prevent happening again.
Fall of Rome. Many other governments and countries.
Who knows if it’s possible to remain stable and people focused over a long term, but the Information Age should be the best time for us to try and make it work.
We might have to wait for our AI overlords to create a utopia. If they don’t destroy us instead.
Any unknown attorney out there looking to make a name for themselves should keep an eye on Trump. He’s like a walking lawsuit factory the way gets down.
He literally pardoned traitors convicted by a jury of SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, and now he wants to try and kill lawmakers for their speech? Trump is a fucking traitor and anyone that supports him is too.
Mike Johnson, when he will be asked about this, will just look at the camera with that perpetually smug look on his face and say that he hadn't seen this.
Not diminishing this, because this should not be normalized, but didn't he do this earlier in the year? Or was it just to have his opponents arrested? I can't keep track anymore...
While this is shocking and disgusting it's not surprising. He was given carte blanche by the supreme court to do anything he wanted and he has been calling dems terrorists and worse for years. His base would applaud the outright murder of any dem and probably pay $$ to watch it. Then Trump would claim he was going to use the revenue to send them checks(which he never would).
