If we don’t remove him sooner than later, we’re going to have a really big problem. It’s going go be too late to say I told you so and laugh about it. This is serious and everyone is just joking about how bad it is.
As a Honduran watching all of this unfolding, seeing it directly affecting my country out of nowhere as if by some unimaginable cosmic joke, what the fuck else do we do? Rise against the empire and become a tale of failed ideologies for future generations?
The US had a fucking DECADE to do something about all this, and they didn’t. That’s a willful decision, and not one that anyone on earth can do something about, due to certain mutual assurances that the US made sure to have in place long before most of us were even born.
So uh yeah… I’ll just keep joking about it until you fucks bomb us all to death for national security or some shit.
Lmao, its laughably too late for that. No one did anything about january 6th, no one did anything about his mishandling of covid, no one did anything about the various countries he has fucked over in the US’ name. You need to face the facts homie: our ship is sunk. Leave while/if you can.
Because there’s jack shit we can do about it. The people with the power to remove him certainly aren’t on Lemmy!
Yep, this was Biden and the democrats responsibility and they didn’t do shit when they had the reigns and thanks to our shit two party system we have no other viable options. Just the gutless losers they allow on the ticket.
Oh yes, totally their responsibility and not the fault of the Republicans in power now, who were the same ones that rejected the other impeachment votes. But yeah, must be on Biden…
Yes, Biden had all the justification he needed for 4 entire years and he sat on his hands in the hopes that the justice department would do something. They didn’t and he didn’t do anything to make them. He the ball and holds an enormous share of the blame for this mess. Of course the fucking republicans aren’t going to help, to expect otherwise is asinine.
Don’t worry just wait til midterms… /s
If we make it to them, we all need to vote. This might be our last opportunity.
That is an enormous if. I’m not saying don’t vote. But shit is going to get a heel of a lot worse before we get there. We can’t afford to wait that long and those Dems who currently hold power need to be already taking a lot more action than they currently are to organize resistance if there is to be any hope. Unfortunately they seem to be limiting themselves to making snarky comments on social media.
I’m with you. What more can we do?
The dems appear to be useless and the gop seem hellbent on world war 3.
Fortunately, at 80 years old and with his unhealthy lifestyle, there’s a fair chance that the Grim Reaper will find it in its heart to remove this vile shitstain from the face of the Earth.
But Trump really isn’t the problem. The problem is all the other Nazis in power, the corrupt Supreme Court, and the puppetmasters behind them all - the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society.
And of course, ultimately the blame rests squarely on a largely idiotic, gullible, racist voting public.
And Putin, Dugin, Roy Cohn, and oligarchies on both sides.
The problem is that worldwide, Nazis have gone from fearing for their lives to emboldened
The reasons he’s in power in the first place is because they’re emboldened. He’s a symptom, not a cause.
He’s both, he’s a catalyst
I don’t really have an answer to this minidiscussion, but to me it was eye-opening to learn about the Tea Party (early 2000s) specifically, how it was sponsored by Very Rich People™, even astroturfed, how its stated goal was the infiltration of the Republican party, and how of course all their ideology and demented ranting were very much the same as what we see today.
And once my eyes were opened I started seeing it everywhere, going back in time: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, the very questionable influencing by so-called christian churches, Big Oil deliberately making kids stupider, etc etc etc
And of course that’s only the USA; I must admit I’m not so fluent in other countries, but surely we must see that assholes like Netanyahu or Orban predate Trump. There’s also the Phillippines which basically experienced a Trump in 2015 iirc.
tl;dr: Trump is “only” the culmination of something that we have since dubbed “Trumpism”.
Yep, Nazis need to have consequences for choosing that way of life. They need to feel the fear they subject so many others to.
Do they though? Aside from a handful of them that one time? I seem to remember a bunch of them being employed by NASA
That doesn’t change what the other user said.
Okay
Grab the obese child rapist and guillotine its gawping head clean off would get the rest of the Nazis running for cover.
Unfortunately the people who want to do it can’t get near that fat orange thing. And the people that can get near that thing are all ok with his fascist paedo bullshit.
It won’t stop when he’s gone. Trump is a symptom, not the disease.
It has to start somewhere. With that attitude, why do anything?
Because it’s a mistake to think that Trump is the root cause of the issue, and if you’re putting your hopes into things changing for the better once he’s gone, you’ll be disappointed.
But you have to properly acknowledge the scope of the problem to start working on it effectively. This is a systemic issue, not an individual one.
I know and I believe we need to read up on history.
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.
The founding fathers would agree. Much, much easier said than done, however.
“Cut off the head and two grow back”
Then just keep cutting. There aren’t infinite heads.
And eventually the heads start to fear for their safety and stop poking out of their safe spaces.
Let’s treat the symptom and see where we end up.
We “treated the symptom” in 2020 and you can see exactly where we ended up.
If he was thrown in jail after Jan 6 like a common criminal along with the rest of the mob, the Nazis would be all back in hiding now.
Did I just time travel to 2015?
Youdo have a big problem, please as a country deal with it rest of the world
I assume you were joking but my reply is not (though not specific to you), please as a country deal with your malignant narcassisisc leader issue because you hold all the military might, the rest of the factions that want to deal with it really never thought you’d get this awful.
I’m not joking. We’re not at the point of no return yet but soon will be.
The next problem we’re going to have if we remove him is cleaning house. There are many corrupt officials that need to be booted out.
Unfortunately, as the Biden administration showed, Democrats don’t have the stones to aggressively remove the fascist cancer even when they have the power to do so.
They were a let down. Our government as a whole is in a bad state.
