I pick up the newspaper and everyday there’s a new horrible story about him that’s somehow become trite since all this oaf does is disparage other, loaf about, and take what he can from others to engorge himself. He’s ruining this country in every way, shape, and form but somehow he has millions of cult followers. He’s above any punishment yet forces us to suffer his existence like some sort of sick, kafkaesque joke. This absolute piece of shit has no redeeming qualities and yet we let him keep breathing air. It’s impossible to scroll online without seeing his gross orange face pop up on screen. I swear if I hear him say “I hate Mondays” or “I love lasagna” one more time I am going to lose it. Save us from this Garfieldian agony.

    Much like how Trump’s second term makes us wish for the innocence of his first term, what comes after Trump will be worse. Nothing ever gets better. All things deteriorate until they break and are replaced.

    Even though things are worse than they have ever been, America today is the best it’s ever going to be again. When the history books are written about this era we will see the 2020’s as America’s second great antebellum.

    Its so nice to be able to say you hope the fascist dies.

    We now live in such a world where you can’t wish for evil dictators to die lest the billionaire who owns the platforms you use has his sensibilities upset.

    but somehow he has millions of cult followers

    And the actual people who put him into power, beginning with a certain Roger Stone.

    An American visits the front page of a popular news site, then closes it after a quick glance. They do this everyday, never reading any of the articles.

    One day, the site recognized that the same browser fingerprint has been doing this several times, so the site sent a popup to that user’s webpage (the website have not gotten paid by the advertisement companies because the webpage was closed too quickly for the view to be counted), asking the user why they only look at it for 5 seconds, they reply: “I’m waiting for a news article about a certain event that would become nationwide news on the frontpage and celebrated by about half of the population, but I’m not gonna eleborate on what I mean, due to potential legal troubles, also how the fuck did you track my browsing?”

    (Its a modern variant of the Soviet Newspaper joke)

    I’ll be glad when he is no longer in power. I’m equally afraid of who will succeed him. Could our angry Americans please use their anger to change the absolutely insane system by which a president is elected and then invest wholesale in education? That’s just two examples I could think of off the top of my head. What’s good about getting rid of the orange only to fall into a fruit salad?

      While you’re not wrong that Trump is just a puppet for a number of masters in various hierarchies, there’s one key attribute he has that makes him indispensable - the cult he managed to build.

      With him gone, do you really think that any of the current replacements being fostered could actually get anywhere with MAGA? Do you think that any of the people in question, let it be one of the Trump kids or JD Vance or quite literally anyone from his inner circles, replace him as the cult leader?

      Trump is uniquely positioned as both the executor of the will of this cabal, and the cult leader of the morons. With him gone, the cabal will be hard pressed to push for another candidate who can move even remotely as many voters as the orange turdsack did.

      With Trump gone, so will be the MAGA movement, and said cabal will be back to, well, not square one, but it will be a major setback until they can find another mascot who can charisma the moron third into voting against their own interest.

      And that gap, that few years will allow for a crucial thing: “re-education”. With Trump gone, the MAGA followers will be able to re-evaluate their stances more freely, with reduced effects from e.g. sunk cost fallacy, and can be taught to recognise populism and how it actually negatively affects them by preying on their weaknesses.

        You’re replying to my comment when it’s incredibly obvious you do not look at the attached video or read the whole original post. Pretty sure you’re either a high-effort troll or a bot. 2.3 year old account with one post then nothing for 2 years, then several comments.

        Edit: see below

          apologies, the video wouldn’t load so I presumed it was one of the in-depth rants about how Trump is just a symptom and how others are in control.

          I also seriously misread the OOP, but in my defense it was 3am and I’ve been running on 2-3hr of sleep a day for a while now.

          And yes, my account was inactive for a while as the federated Reddit alternatives haven’t been teeming with much content or discourse when I original joined, and a recent Reddit ban that nuked all my alts was the trigger to continue moving back here. Alas not a bot and I’ve been using this nickname for the better part of the past ~25 years.

    Right??? I recently saw a post that included a simple image of a bottle of champagne with a fancy label with the words HES DEAD. What I love is that we all know who he is.
