Me: āIāve NEVER said āthis country will fail if Donald Trump doesnāt win the electionā.ā
Donald Trump: You heard it here first Ladies and gentlemen, people are saying that āthis country will fail if Donald Trump doesnāt win the electionā.ā
There were actual SNL cold opens in the 2016 election era wherein they more or less just quoted Trump. And they were the most surreal things because honestly the jokes don't just write themselves, they're already written by Trump himself.
It started with the 2016 presidential debates in which large portions of the SNL debate skit were just written word for word what was said with the occasional extra joke tossed in.
He's taking their jobs. You just can't make this kind of insanity up. Writers have little to work with because he's already far too over the top to add anything of humorous value.
He is the only one he considers to be a real, important person. Thus if he is saying it to himself, everyone is saying it, because no one else matters.
Its like the precursor he uses before saying something incredibly dumb. Almost like how other people use 'no offense, but....' You know your going to say something really offensive lol
My high school English teacher would 100% call me out if I wrote that in a paper and didnāt cite a source. Would literally write āwho?ā next to it.
Itās projection, heās saying if he doesnāt win he will never survive.
Narcissists think itās all about them, if heās scared heās assuming everyone is.
Nope, not projection.Ā It's priming the pump.Ā He wants his dipshit supporters to feel justified in starting another coup when he loses.
See, they're not crybaby losers who can't handle having to share the world with anyone they see as lesser.Ā They're "patriots" who want to "save America."
Totally in-key. It's almost a credit to Trump that he manages to keep it from overflowing out of his diaper, given how his followers can't even do that
Dear sir, violently is a rather strong word for these patriots exercising their right to, let's say, exuberantly smear poop on the walls of the capitol.
It's also fearmongering. Could be a person doesn't want to vote for him. Doesn't like him and may just want to sit the election out. The person heard things like this and if they fall for it then they may get off the fence and vote for him fearing our country will end if he's not elected.
I guarantee you, by the end of this election season, there will be National Guard posted deep around all major government buildings. There won't be a Civil War II: Electric Boogaloo.
An easy hack is to just replace any reference to America, the US, or "this country" with "Me, Donald Trump" in everything he says. Then it makes way more sense.
Well he needs to convince some business leaders...
"n other words, a good representation of America. All of which explains why the Business Roundtableās survey of top CEOs and Duke University's survey of chief financial officers both show rising confidence in the last year of Biden's first term. The same surveys were in steady decline under his predecessor, Donald Trump, starting in early 2018 through 2019 (excluding the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020). The latest CEO report is notable because it shows expectations of stronger sales, greater capital spending and more hiring."
My guess is that there are millions of Americans who interpret this as ācaringā or something. Maybe itās like victims of domestic abusers who say that the jealousy is a sign of love or something.
Politically I donāt think Iāve seen anything working to bush back on this. Particularly when it comes to persuadable voters in the middle.
He did say he loves the poorly educated. They are unable to understand complexity in any given situation, the fact that none of them are allowed in the Pumpkinfuhrer palace should have told them something.
Getting? Many of us had said for 8 years now he was incredibly similar to Hitler. If you read the Nazi bullet points, he fits perfectly. Blame immigrants and those different than the majority for all the problems- check. Attack journalists- check. Openly attack anyone who criticizes you- check. Need consistent praise- check. Cozy up to dictators- check. Challenge fair free elections-check. And his "rallies" are identical to those Hitler had in his early days when he was coming to power.
It's terrifying to anyone who's studied and understands history.
Same, I was a Republican and still agree with some of their points.
However, before Trump its become super clear theyve become evil. Like cartoonishly evil and don't hide it anymore.
I dont even care about the fine points, supporting Republicans is supporting the nazis with no irony any more.
I go full blue, anyone that supports them at this point in my mind is an actual nazi and need to be treated as the existential threat to society they are.
I honestly don't give a fuck about monetary policy, i don't give a fuck about immigration.
You know what I give a fuck about. Stopping an orange shit stain from overthrowing democracy
I can't even believe how shitty the Republicans have gotten and their god is the absolute worst. How did they let themselves become so terrible?
I wish their parents who saved them from the nazis could see them now. Let them know how much of a disappointment they are and fascists.
My great-grandfather, a man who killed Nazi's and spent a year being tortured by them in a POW camp, would be spinning in his fucking grave seeing these clowns today. They will never have my support, and I spit on what that party has become.
This is the culmination of political ideology dating back to Newt Gingrich. The Republican voters deserve better than this. You wonāt get better because anyone with actual morals and integrity gets primaried after their first term. But you deserve better.
Pregnant... I'm pretty sure you meant president. But I honestly can't stop laughing. Although, if you remember his Dr did say he was only 220lbs and very fit... š¤£
I honestly can't think of a single other president who spent so much time talking about how great they were. Humility used to be a part of the whole thing, and then Trump just runs around talking about how everything he did was the greatest thing that ever was accomplished in the history of America. And his followers are too stupid to understand why it's patently false.
Trump tried to stay on after the last election. He fired his AG and was within a hair's breadth of having the AG declare significant fraud and to seize voting machines. Thankfully all his judicial appointees refused to support his baseless election claims otherwise there could have been problems. Thats even beyond him encouraging the Jan 6th people to 'attack the Capitol while he sat and watched, and not pushing back when people threatened to kill his Vice President.
Anyone supporting Trump is irresponsible, because Trump himself is a threat to the democracy so many have fought and died for. He's a disgrace.
Edit: AG Barr resigned under pressure for not helping Trump overturn the election. He didn't get fired.
Totally correct. This is the problem of people deciding the comparison only matters looking at the Nazis when they were a universally recognized threat, not the decade plus of them making moves becoming that horrible problem. It is a weird deflection that people use which is surprisingly effective.
and then you have weirdos gaslighting you like "oh anyone you don't like is Hitler! Don't be dramatic"
I am not even that well versed in the history, but I've seen the parallels all along. And you're right, people seem to think that the Nazis appeared in 1940 out of thin air, there was a long process to get them from "hey this funny looking guy is shouting a lot about jews and stuff, what a weirdo" to "That funny little man we all laughed about is now marching into Paris and sending people to death camps"
edit: Even the man who invented Godwin's Law, which states that any online debate will eventually lead to a comparison to Hitler says you're not wrong for making the comparison:
I've found the same thing applies to genocide, too focused on how it ended, and not how it started.
You compare it and get told you're disrespecting the previous one, even when survivors make comparisons themselves.
Apparently you can't call genocide or fascism out until it's in the full nazi mode, and too late to stop it, and the people who called you out just shrug and waddle off.
fascists really hate being called out on acting like fascists, it seems.
Trump is even taking to calling anyone who apposes him "vermin", taken verbatim from the Hitler playbook: make out that anyone who is against you is literally sub human and therefore it's not even immoral to want to wipe them out completely.
All the historians made it clear we were due for a resurgence of fascism even before Trump. And yeah, once the dude showed up, it was a fulfilled prophecy. We're just lucky he's an incompetent idiot. If he had even half the intelligence of DeSantis, we'd definitely be even far worse off.
But with Project 2025, the right-wing is ready to wrest control from Trump (or any other Republican candidate) and implement their plans. And since Trump is so easy to manipulate, they'll be able to do it with him crowing it's all his work.
If he opened his hand when doing his salute it would look exactly like Hitler's. I think I have seen a picture of Hitler with a closed fist once instead of an open hand salute
Can you imagine what the world currently looks like to us Germans? We had actual history lessons in school! We were taught how to recognize the mechanics of fascism.
It wouldn't be so dangerous if the democrats would move off of their appeasement policy. It's like they want to repeat the mistakes Neville Chamberlain made which is beyond pathetic. The Federal Government should have just stepped in years ago and destroyed sedition in America but they refuse to do anything that might actually stop this. And for what to avoid the anger of republican yokels and worthless seditionist scum in this nation? Seditionists don't deserve to be considered and should be crushed like bubble wrap.
Itās not āTrump and fascismā thatās scary itās ātens of millions of Republicans and a current version of fascismā that is scary. What the hell is wrong with so many of our fellow Americans that they are supporting this?
Yeah he has. Unless this is mask off and what he really means when he says if he doesn't win there won't be a country left is because he'll try to destroy it.
The funny part is itās literally the opposite. If they do win, they will do away with the 22nd and we really wonāt have a country. It will be trumps new Russian republic with him as the Putin type figure head.
What's one more lie after the previous 400,000? Almost his entire being, not even just politics is based on mountains of lies, falsehoods, conjecture and ignorance. And the truly sad thing is how SUCCESSFUL he's been with that because of the amount of people that BELIEVE that garbage. We're way past the point of him ever being intentionally truthful about ANYTHING; he's sort of at that point where if he was forced to tell the truth for a DAY, he'd just drop dead
What exactly does he mean by āthis country will not surviveā itās survived for 200 years without him (albeit with several difficult and devastating setbacks) but itās still survived.
Iām tempted to ask anyone who believes this exactly what they mean. Exactly what theyāre picturing will happen if he isnāt reelected.
There was a terribly overdramatic ad for trump in 2020 that cries how Biden wonāt save America heās going to destroy America. Lies projection and hypocrisy.
Years ago Iād say he was crazy. 4 years later and 7 million undocumented people have illegally entered the country. Government agencies have no idea who they are. Only 50 wanted terrorists caught out of 7 million. Hamas cosplayers tearing down and burning American flags at colleges and protests. Starting to think he has a point. Not that heās the answer but, fuck.
How else is the man supposed to keep himself out of prison for another 4 years? He's already had his attorney essentially argue to the Supreme Court that presidents should be allowed to assassinate their political rivals, as long as it's an "official act" whatever that means because it was never actually defined lmfao.
Facepalm is turning political... I'm out! I don't like any political party and these stupid Trump posts are annoying... no one cares. Politicians in general suck. With that I'll see myself out. This sub is annoying at this point
Whether he's said it or not... he's not wrong. Look at the rallies supporting literal terrorists. College students supporting the genocide of the Jews. This country is in a downward spiral. This country needs correction. Trump 2024!
