Mitch McConnell didn’t just enable Trump—he architected the road to American fascism.

Burn in hell, Mitch.

Imagine the one guy who can be credited the most (aside from Trump/Musk) with us being where we are, complaining that we're here.

I want to punch him till his face is flat....

[-] hausthatforrem@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

And I would like to give him a shave til his face is concave

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago

Moscow Mitch trying to confess to get to heaven. I hope this guy ends up like promethous.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 33 points 6 days ago

He is desperately trying to redeem his legacy for future historians, now that he realizes he is going to be taking the blame in future history books for enabling the MAGA scourge. He has finally figured out that he will be remembered as one of the worst, most destructive, Americans in history. He deserves it.

I hope he believes in God so he can live in terror of the afterlife during whatever life he has left.

[-] dutchcompass@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

I second the Prometheus idea.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago

You did that, you fucking moron. God damn Mitch is acting like he's just some misunderstood good guy when he's why it happened. Moscow Mitch is a nickname for a reason.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

This is no longer Mitch McConnell, this is a dying old man thinking of what he's going to say to St. Peter.

[-] Mallspice@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago

Future? It’s now and he’s more responsible for it that all but a handful of folks.

[-] dick_fineman@discuss.online 13 points 6 days ago

A headline I look forward to: "Mitch McConnell dies; no one mourns"

[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago

All thanks to him.

[-] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 21 points 6 days ago

Why would he warn about something he himself arranged? Is he warning the american people who are dumb enough to vote for him and his russian partners?

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Just announcing the success of his life's work lol.

[-] CosmicJoker@lemm.ee 9 points 6 days ago

Like if he's not at fault.

Fuck off shit head.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Let's hope they both lose.

Fuck the US and fuck Russia

[-] cupcakezealot 14 points 6 days ago

he's trying to find the guy who did this

He should bud dwyer himself

[-] Sputnik34@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago
[-] uienia@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

That is already a headline describing reality right now. Putin has won more than he ever would have expected.

Also fuck that ghoul, who more than anyone else (except perhaps Putin himself) was the person responsible for this situation. Hope your death will be long and painful.

[-] Tillman@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Wasn’t his nickname Moscow Mitch?

[-] kittenzrulz123 4 points 6 days ago

Mitch if you got cooked into Turtle soup that would be the only good that has ever come of you

KINDLY SHOVE A CACTUS UP YOUR ASS

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

I'd welcome him to the right side of history since he now understands the situation, but he has realized too late that this was all his fault. Less whining, more taking responsibility for this.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Russian's economy is in the dumpster, yeah? Like, they're a few years ahead of us on the falling-apart scale?

Have we seen big, shitty countries before? Russia and the US being shitty, non-globally competitive countries means neither one is likely to be a winner.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, thanks, Mitch, we know. Shut the fuck up, you've done enough. /S

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Cartoon villains aren’t this dense…

[-] deadkennedy@lemm.ee 310 points 1 week ago

this is your fault Mitch.

eat shit.

[-] Mister_Hangman@lemmy.world 87 points 1 week ago

Lmao I hope he sees pitchforks before he dies.

I hope he feels pitchforks before he dies.

[-] arrow74@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

I'd accept him dying in the next month for any reason and being replaced by a Democrat in a special election.

But like if we can have both that's good too

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mitch never saw a "War with Russia" bill he didn't endorse. He's old school Neocon and was wholly on board with the project for post-Soviet US global hegemony. I don't think its strictly fair to say "Russia Wins, America Loses" is his fault, because he was working overtime to get to a future in which Wall Street and The Pentagon controlled it all.

But his all-in bet on Moderate Amounts of Fascism tipped the board. He put far too much effort in winning the next electoral cycle in pursuit of a permanent Republican Majority. And when he finally got what he wanted - not once, in '16 but twice with a second GOP clean sweep in '24 - he looked up to discover the prize came with strings attached.

Turns out, the US isn't the only country that can meddling with elections and affect regime change through soft power. Now we're getting a wave of modern White Nationalism that's aligning DC, Moscow, and perhaps London and Berlin depending on how the chips fall in the next few elections. Its not America or Russia that's winning, but a cartel of plutocrats and their bloodthirsty groyper minions, in an unholy new internationalist Axis of Evil.

ironic that someone who was instrumental in getting america to where it is today would be saying something like that. EAT SHIT YOU FUCKING CUNT.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 34 points 1 week ago

...then f*cking impeach, you whiny little bitch...

This guy bred the face-eating leopards for decades.

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Entirely a product of his design, Russia would not be anywhere near as influencing today if not for his regressive agenda and undermining US democracy.

Without Moscow Mitch, Putin would still be at the Ukraine border throwing tantrum as more sanctions are thrown in his regime.
