He has concepts of revenge.

[-] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 29 points 9 months ago

Unfortunately, Project 2025 is a whole book/organisation devoted to getting effective permanent revenge.

That's why tankies don't want to support kamala.

It's painfully clear by now that Gaza is just a trump card for them to whine about. It sucks.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

That's why tankies don't want to support kamala.

"That" being the promises in the meme? I don't understand why that would make them not support Kamala.

So lemme break things down..

Trump would turn the Israeli genocide of Palestine up to 11.. MFKN TURBOMODE9000 GENOCIDE.

I'm figuring that must be what the tankies want to happen.

Or maybe you can figure out how voting for a third party that won't win (I fucking promise you they won't) ISNT helping trump out.

They're leveraging a genocide to fuck with people's emotions to manipulate things. It's gross. Tankies are gross.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Well given that Acceleration is a go-to Tankie power move...

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

Do they have any other moves?

All I see is low-brow agitprop that is extremely easy to parse..

You call them out, there are 2 scenarios;

If you're in tankie space they dogpile you because they can't defend their ideas with reason.

Or

Outside of tankie space they target your emotions try to make you feel bad because their arguments are never about thinking or logic, always emotions. It's because they are weak to their core and all the false strength is a show.

It would be cute if they weren't so smelly.

Sadly a lot of people unironically think that these captions should be reversed, because revenge = violence and that's Chad af and helping others is for wusses, or something

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Also, hundreds of years of prosperity gospel. If you're poor or suffering, then you must have done something wrong because God is punishing you. If you're thriving, then you must be good because God is rewarding you. That's one reason why the police go after poor people more heavily. There more likely to pull over an old beater car than they are a new pickup truck. So if you want to commit crimes just drive a newer truck because they won't even look at you. Even better if you put a thin line sticker somewhere.

I don't care how selfish that dog acted, I would vote for them 1000 times before ever considering Trump.

He has concepts of plans though.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Trump supporters be like: "Um, ackchually, Trump wants to lower taxes, maybe only for the billionaires, but they can invest that into new jobs instead of paying for the state. Even if he outlawed homosexuality or transgenderism, a next president can re-legalize it!" (The last one was a real conversation I had with my mother about the child protection law of Fidesz, which so far seems only protecting the sensibilities of her boyfriend, who often makes such homophobic rants on disgust, you immediately know the real motive wasn't the protection of children, unless you call childishly homophobic men children.)

Yeah I don’t know, like Harris isn’t perfect enough yet for me. She hasn’t danced to my tune yet /“undecided” voter

[-] Luminocta@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

As a European,

Wtf.

Like how can you ask for perfection when you have so much BS going on in a country

If Trump wins, it's not as simple as that. Which means that when he eventually discovers he still doesn't have automatic fascist powers, he would immediately fall back to Project 2025. Which is why it is so foreboding - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Reactions_and_responses

Even if we all went by your standards, doing literally nothing is still preferable to Donald.

She's in office as the vp not the president

[-] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 11 points 9 months ago

I like to ask the posters like abo 3 "what is the role of the vice president?" They typically mhave no answer, make shit up, or propose things that are definitely not constitutional for a vice president. Then again, they want a dictator so the constitution has little to do with their reasoning.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They're an envoy of the president, they break ties in the Senate.

They can't ride planes together.

That's it, on paper.

Biden managed to do some stuff with his "gaffes" but who knows what was intentional and what was sundowning a full decade before he was elected.

I think you have to adjust your expectations of politics in America. By your standards no one has done shit.

They’ll have a to-do list for sure. Are they going to do it, that’s a whole different question.

As an enemy within, we're only mean to these people because they're fascists.

[-] jami@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yep. I will be both frightened and proud if he comes after the subset of enemies I'm in. Again.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

I'm a centrist! I can't tell the difference between these statements!

If that fat cunt can dox me, put me on the list. If your baby hands are big enough to grab the pen.
