Treason motherfuckas … Once more!
Look, man. We know. You’ve practically already done it.
Jfc… I guess I owe The Boys an apology. I thought they were laying it on a bit thick with the Homelander=Trump connections, but I guess not.
Well… Trump has yet to murder a complete court room to be worse then Homelander… But otherwise… Invoking hate speech into citizens to the point they use violence and starting wars they have these checks of destroying further the world…
He always proves he is more stupid than you thought possible. It is like his special power.
Some voters somehow looked this idiot and said ‘nope, no point casting my vote…’
Bystander effect on a national scale
If our country can be destroyed by any President, that means that there is no longer sufficient separation of powers, and that our federal government is completely worthless.
He is so ignorant of his job and real duties that he doesn’t even realize this. He believes it, and he believes that he is righteous. That’s because he’s a narcissist who’s never had to go shopping for groceries, who’s never had to make his own dinner, who’s never had to clean his own house, who’s never had to even work for a living.
He is completely detached from reality, and him being President shows how rotten our government has become. He could NEVER be elected in anything resembling a functioning Republic.
Well, to be quite honest, it also shows how rotten our so-called Western civilization has become. This man not only got elected, but millions upon millions of people thought it would be a great idea to reelect him - after Jan 6th and everything.
And that’s not even an exclusively American problem. Look at Europe. Even with better education and safer social security, way too many people vote for far-right populists.
Before Corona, I still had hopes for us as a species. Despite all the religious nonsense, the racism, the bigotry, the hate, the wars, everything. I thought sensible people were a safe majority. I thought it takes extraordinary circumstances, the proverbial perfect storm, to plunge a society into chaos.
Well, I know better now. I’m 49 and with any luck, I’ll have 30 more years on this planet, maybe I get lucky and there will be no wars on my doorstep. I’m utterly, utterly disappointed in mankind, I would almost go as far as to say I root for its demise. I have no kids, I don’t feel like I have a horse in this race anymore anyway.
And Trump is the epitome of everything wrong with us.
There never was a sufficient separation of powers. This and the much-vaunted checks and balances, it turns out, only exist if the person in the White House consents to them existing, and consents to being under the rule of law.
That is literally his plan. He said it out loud, again?! What will it take for you imbeciles to stop him!! Do you like America? Because you are going to be the pariah of the world and the next Russia if you don’t do something about it. Get used to it or get up.
Man he is going to fucking lose it during the SotU isn’t he?
chrissake, get this dangerous fool out of power.
No stopping him.
America fucked around.
Now it gets to find out.
When you’re a billionaire they let you do it
“I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country,” Trump said.
“I’m allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1.” In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he “was very modest in my ask of other countries”.
“I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court,” he said.
“I wanted to be a good boy.”
“I didn’t want to hurt you, but you’ve left me no choice.” He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he’s a violent, abusive rapist.
No probably about it.
“I can destroy the country” ??? Change to “I am destroying your country, I have no allegiance except to the golden calf.”.
“I have been destroying the country and will continue to” yeeeeah we knew before and we still know
Yeah we know. You’ve been doing it since your first term, asshole.
FFS, the orange shitstain is currently destroying the USA.
no authoritarian has ever been removed by an election…
I think I might make this my next protest sign
It will be even funnier if the sign says “no fascist have ever been removed by a protest”
Not sure if people might take it the wrong way though, it might be a bit too based.
Protests show the people who are afraid that they’re not alone. Protests show the people in power that there is a real threat. They may be peaceful now, but if things continue they may no longer have peaceful protests.
Also, protesting provides training for organizing and brings up voices and leaders that are needed for future actions to be successful.
The leaders we read about during past revolts didn’t just appear on the front lines magically. In the past many revolts took years or decades to transform the territory. With sometimes several generations of leaders playing important parts in the process.
Absolutely, I’m not saying we shouldn’t protest. But protests do need to be coupled with a real threat (i.e. “we will go on strike” or similar)
