I was scrolling on Lemmy and I saw at least 5 Trump mug shot posts. It's just annoying at this point.

You know what I'm gonna start posting about Trump even harder

Also just plain no. Americans have been waiting for this for the past few years and it's fucking cathartic

cathartic

Understandable, but personally, I really hate it.

What I really looked forward to after Trump's pathetic election loss in 2020 was being able to look at reddit without 2/3 of the posts being Trump this, Trump that, trump trump trump.

I was super disappointed. While the page wasn't all-trump-all-the-time anymore, I'd still see 1-2 Trump posts per page. That continues to this day on Lemmy :(

I want to read about good and interesting things here, not just be part of feeding a monster's ego.

I get not wanting to see it everywhere but you also have to understand that this is really world news. This is a central figure in American politics that is actually going to trial for an attempt to overthrow American democracy.

This is a historical moment that will probably be talked about for decades regardless of which direction it goes.

So you say, but it doesn't make the shit sandwich taste any better.

Yeah but as an American I'm the one that has to deal with the smell long after the sandwich is gone

As another American I have been sick of his stupid name and face since 2015 myself and if there was someone to beg for the madness to end, I would too. Problem is it isn't just Jimmy Kimmel, the entire world can't stop talking about him for one day.

Also "it's a historic event" applies to this one, sure, it doesn't apply to things like "lol he's got tiny hands" which A) Are funny once not 30k times, and B) Isn't "a historic event" that would necessitate I see his face. Sure I get why every single lemming is obligated to work in the trump post mines to keep it going but you also have to realize not everyone wants it to keep going.
