He's already said he's basically going to be 10 times worse if he gets reelected. I'm not sure why the people who support him think that's a good thing. For a party that claims to love "freedom" they sure seem desperate to elect a fascist dictator

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 86 points 1 year ago

Freedom for me, chains for you. They don't actually care about real freedom.

They are sure the Leopard will never eat their face.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Yup. They think Daddy Trump is going lock up all the liberals and create a ~~facist~~ conservative paradise.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 32 points 1 year ago

They love the freedom to own slaves and stuff like that

You'd think after he didn't pardon the people in person that stormed the Capitol they'd smarten up. If that didn't open their eyes, nothing will.

Not gonna lie, being a nurse during a pandemic with that jackass as president broke something in me

"Thank you for your hard work!"

(But actually thanks, nurses are the best. How can we make your day better next time we're in the hospital for something completely our own fault?)

I cant believe how dysfunctional the us has become.

You actually voted for the biggest asshole and a retard to become president. He was wildly incompetent to the surprise of nobody. The country became a laughing stock. Secrets were leaked, justice compromised (even further), he attempted a literal coup. No, lets vote for him again.

We knew americans were dumb, but holy fuck. You need someone to protect you from yourselves because clearly your government is as caring as it is in russia. The entire population should be institutionalized.

If you think voting for literal idiots is an American thing you really haven't been paying attention.

Boris Johnson, Victor Orban, ...

I see this take often and I see the same kinds of responses, but it's really upsetting to see the main culprit is never mentioned.

Yes, some of us are just hateful, but most of the people voting for Trump are exposed to and consume wayyyyy too much propaganda.

Our media has failed us in sooooo many ways all to chase the Almighty Dollar™. We have literal entertainment networks masquerading as "News" because they're allowed to act however they wish. We have actual "news" corporations acting like entertainment. We have Fox News and Newsmax straight up fabricating a reality for their consumers that is almost exactly the opposite of reality, and then we have CNN, MSNBC, etc, that would rather follow The Days Of Our Trumps T.V drama as opposed to actually doing hard news.

We have 1/3 of our population living in a fantasy reality, 1/3 being made to be enraged about an orange man's dumb tweet instead of learning about potentially good candidates to vote for, and 1/3 that's just apathetic to it all.

We have a gigantic media propaganda problem... We have no real press that the 1st amendment was made to protect, instead we have corporations that are taking advantage of those protections to do whatever they want to make the most money, to hell with what happens to the country...

Edit: all that to say, the people that we see as "OMG how could you possibly vote for him again, are you a monster?" Think "Trump was the best president ever, every news show or podcast or Facebook interaction I have had or watched says as much and proves it."

[-] BingoBangoBongo@midwest.social 18 points 1 year ago

You should probably be aware that the cheeto never won a majority vote in America. Our democratic system is broken to the core though, and there is basically no way to fix it which is why he still won.

Along with that a good chunk, possibly majority of Americans is already more decent than you because we don't use dehumanizing insults like the R word.

Several states have even proposed banning him from the ballot for his coup attempt, including mine. Unfortunately they are being tossed out, probably by judges that he put in power.

I think you would be surprised at how little power Americans actually have to affect change in our government. Short of dragging our knuckles and starting some uprising like his goons did, change can't happen, and I'm not one to resort to that. I'd sooner head to Canada or Mexico.

Look on the positive side, if he comes back for a second term there’ll probably be death camps so you’ll be killed and won’t have to remember when he becomes president for life.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Put me in a Trump run death camp. Me and all my new pals will be living better than most Americans in the new order within a week. For sure would rather be there than a part of Gilead.

Fascism is great for the supporters, at first. They get to steal tooth gold.

I remember the shitshow. Like in general everywhere and at all times.

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

As someone from another side of the world 🌎 I have to say that it was quite funny. Like a memexplosion. Granted, he did fuck up everything possible, thus strengthened everyone else.

The only good thing he attempted was a TikTok ban. Should’ve been a short video ban
