I guess I'm glad he thinks that elections will still matter.

"During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it."

We are here: attacking Canada, Greenland, Mexico (damaging our economy & theirs, and clearly our foreign relations) Trump also offered to cut defense spending if Russia does. It's all very obvious if you're not in the cult.

Good, and we should wipe out the Schumers Pelosis and Jeffries too. Maybe get rid of these goofy ass mega corps

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

Make it so.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago

Their plan is to not have fair elections anymore.

Yep. It also got a democrat elected 4 terms as president. Tax rates climbed up to 95+ percent for millionaires.

And you know those good times that conservatives say they want to go back to? Those times when a blue collar worker could earn enough to buy a house, pay the mortgage, support a stay-at-home-wife and family, and then send those kids to college? That's the society that those decades of democrat control led to. That's what another 60 years of democrat dominated congress could lead to again. In fact, a huge blow out election like that may be the only thing that can save, not only this nation, but maybe even the whole world, if it's not too late already.

I sometimes have this weird fantasy where Trump is an actual genius, and his plan all along was to destroy the Republican party. I imagine him sitting on the crapper with a McDouble in one hand and his phone in the other, trying to come up with the most insane tweets he can, getting frustrated that his plan is taking so long and thinking to himself "why are these people liking this shit? It's obviously bat shit crazy!"

Then I come back down to this Hellscape reality and sigh as I accept that the world is just full of stupid, greedy, selfish people, and Trump is an avatar for all the worst human impulses, and that tens of millions of people would gladly follow him off a cliff so long as they get to drag the rest of us over the edge with them.

I truly hate this place.

I hope we get rid of all these bastards once and for all. Their entire party and platform is and always has been a giant fucking sham that preys on the gullible.

These MAGA will just move to their Republican overlords after Trump has died. The real hope would be a split GOP. MAGA/GOP and Dems.

Wiping out the Republicans? I don't see a downside with that.

But you'll do nothing to stop him.

[-] plantmoretrees@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

So, there is a silver lining?!

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

Notice how he worries about HIS job... he couldn't care less about the harm to the country or the people

[-] twice_hatch@midwest.social 13 points 4 days ago

Touch that stove!

Rand Paul deserves to be wiped out with the rest of them.

The optimist angle would be that Trump is secretely a Democrat agent, and that by crashing the stock market he just thinks it's over-valued and wants to return to 2018~ levels.

[-] ZEDtheRED@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Ah what a nice fantasy to cogitate on for a few moments

[-] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 3 days ago

We can only hope.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
