The best part is the next stage of the pattern where the opposition party gets elected and fails to change the ability for a president to launch regime change wars unilaterally. Or make it so ordinary folks have a decent life.

And then we just repeat it every decade or so.

"opposition" party

And "Thanks Obama" 2026

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago

It's the Republican presidential playbook.

It's a very obvious pattern. A US president decides to do regime change.

That's it. That's the pattern.

No wars until the average American isn't struggling with basic needs like food, education, healthcare and a roof over their heads. You know, things every other normal country provides to their citizens.

Can we still have class war, though?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You're already in one.

[-] TaterTot@piefed.social 15 points 2 weeks ago

We have class war at home

The only difference now is that the president is also a pedophile

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 19 points 2 weeks ago

Well is that a difference though? From what I see, the only difference is that a known pedophile can keep being president

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

known pedophile

Or are we going to conveniently ignore that the rumor that Trump sucked Bill's hog means that Bill was running in those circles too? The reason there's barely any movement on releasing the files is because it implicates fucking everyone in that socio-economic strata.

Trump's openly horrid. That doesn't mean the previous chucklefucks were spotless.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 34 points 2 weeks ago

America First doesn't include running other countries.

[-] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago

It does they just envision a much larger America.

Cuba and Nicaragua next before the mid-terms.

[-] Candice_the_elephant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Greenland just after, and Canada in late 2027.

That's why only congress can declare war!

So, they work around that by saying these wars are not wars, so now that this has been established, the president can do as they wish and nobody can stop them (as only congress restrains the President)

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just a special military operation?

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

They'll name it ironically, like "operation southern shield".

[-] MonkeyDumpster@lemmy.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

im so happy we're making all the oil companies even more money! yay!

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 weeks ago

Never have a looked forward to owning an EV as much as I do today.

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago

Why does his profile picture look like a sims 1 character??

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

The same reason his platform was "whatever the companies wanted it to be"

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I had high hopes from him and he sold out almost immediately.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Friendly reminder:

[-] criticon@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

My brother used AI to create "professional portraits" and they looked like this.

I mocked him and flooded his inbox with local portrait photographers until he changed his profile pic

[-] CelestialBunny@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago

Assuming that he was doing this in order to boost his popularity due to war, how does he fuck this up and get bullied over the Epstein files for another year? Because he’s GOING to fuck this up.

[-] justaman123@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Usually there's a lot more build up for this kind of thing to get the public on their side, but they figured they could use the Trump magic to just shove it in dry. I don't think it's gonna fly. Share all the Epstein files!

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 weeks ago

Just like Israel and Iran. I would say the same for Russia, but Putin was pretty popular before the war iirc.

[-] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

but Putin was pretty popular before the war iirc.

Thanks to his sugar delivery service.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's a very obvious pattern for that reason, and others.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's a very obvious pattern for that treason, and others.

[-] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pete Buttigieg is a liberal. He's only saying this to save face.

Listen to people like Graham Platner instead.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He had the chance to sound the alarm about Biden's mental health early on and didn't take it. He's part of the reason Trump is currently president.
