How did america elect this guy twice? So pathetic.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

40 years of crippled public education and propaganda talk radio

It isn't pathetic, it is an engineered strategy that has been ongoing since before any of us were born and it's working because almost no one bothers to do anything but meme about it

[-] tamman2000@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

I have my doubts that we did it twice. 2024 looks fishy. I'm glad it's finally starting to get talked about

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

Do you really think it will matter even if they find obvious election fraud?

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 4 points 27 minutes ago

I feel like getting trump to write an angry tweet about you is as good an endorsement as Weird Al wanting to parody your song.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

Pretty disgusted by all of you memeing the collapse of democracy

[-] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 20 points 6 hours ago

Looks terrible, grating voice, not very smart... Hmm, who does that remind me of?

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

Republicans always whine about themselves.

[-] VitabytesDev@feddit.nl 18 points 7 hours ago

Trump says somebody else is not smart

[-] caboose2006@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

I'll often judge someone's character by who hates them. Zohran seems like a good guy

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 7 points 5 hours ago

I mean... good? Why would we want a politician that's acceptable to him?

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 45 points 8 hours ago

I read AOC +3 as like a d&d style stat modifier.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 7 hours ago

She's approaching peak power, send more vibes and she might upgrade to artifact

[-] frezik 15 points 7 hours ago

Make the man afraid some more.

[-] wpb@lemmy.world 33 points 8 hours ago

Calling that disgusting snake Chuck Schumer the Palestinian senator is pretty hilarious, given where he stands on the genocide.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 21 points 8 hours ago

Weird too because Shumer did not endorse Mamdani. Only a "congratulations". But in Trump land anything goes

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

It’s like there was a creative writing exercise with a prompt to pack as much bullshit as possible into 5 sentences.

It’s constantly horrifying that our president communicates like this in public. Completely unreal.

[-] Neuromorph@lemm.ee 11 points 7 hours ago

has trump said anything about RKJ's voice being weird?

[-] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

I don't think I've ever read anything so unhinged from a politician before.

[-] Trihilis@ani.social 8 points 7 hours ago

Imagine calling someone out for his looks in a professional setting. In most places that would get you fired or sued.

[-] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago* (last edited 38 minutes ago)

So it should. We're supposed to be more civil than that. But as others have said, this is mask off. Trump unmasking what has been lying under the surface of the capitalistic elite for decades. Utter contempt for the working class who are basically regarded as slaves, and anyone with any influence or power who challenges them is painted as a traitor, criminal, and honorary slave as well.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Then you haven't seen his 20 minute meltdown post over what AOC said a few days ago.

[-] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago

Over her proposing to impeach to him? I didn't but I can imagine. Does he want to "deport" her as well?

[-] SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 hours ago

Honestly, if I lived in NY, this post on it's own would make me vote for him.

Of course, I'd have to live in the US too, which I don't, thank some deity.

[-] AnalogousFortune@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

That same deity is responsible for me living there. So.. thanks will not be given here

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 16 points 9 hours ago

He's prepping up the fascist transition for the midterms, and it couldn't be any more obvious. If it isn't outright theft it's going to be voter suppression and voter manipulation on an entirely different scale. It's so ridiculous to think the US is a democracy anymore, at this point the whole country is a confidence game and a scam that's just mobilizing the capital of the people who they already have scammed against new targets.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Ha ha ha. This guys such a snowflake.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

More shrieking dictator every day.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Communist Trump doing it again

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

The black hole calling the snowman black

[-] AnalogousFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Orange snowflake speaks loudly again

[-] fireeyes@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago

laugh, the cow calling the kettle black

[-] Tillman@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Not only that but he literally lives off of taxpayer dollars and receives nationalized healthcare.

[-] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 1 day ago

I like how they've gone full mask off and given up on the anti-semite attacks and are just calling anyone not calling for Gaza to be ethnically cleansed a Palestinian like it's an insult. Not even hiding the Islamophobia any more.

It's also double funny that he's calling fucking Schumer a Palestinian, it's like calling Biden a communist, which he also probably said. It just goes to show no matter how much the dems try to moderate to accommodate the conservatives they'll always be the enemy.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 21 hours ago

Plenty of times. The point of making the absurd claim is because the correction to the error contributes nothing but a deflection from the initial claim.

Trump tweets are pure, unadulterated gish gallup.

[-] AnalogousFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Anything unadulterated around this dude needs to watch its six

[-] cmeu@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago

Remember when people didn't get elected because they weren't "presidential" enough?

😢

[-] opavader@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

he is has been aipac agent his for last two decades. he has just tones lately like biden to pretend he is not a rabid zionist.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Weird things can happen when you've spent four decades making people poorer and more desperate.

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 15 points 22 hours ago

Chuck Schumer is Palestinian? Since When? 🤔

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 7 hours ago

Since Trump marked him for a death camp

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 90 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's a Mayor these guys are freaking out over.

The president is freaking out over a Mayor.

That's true fear. They know we intend to use the law to put the real criminals in prison.

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

To be fair, NYC is a huge city and so its mayor is a major figure in the US. The most recent population I could find was 8.8 million people, vs. the total US at 340 million. NYC is, therefore, home to 2.6% of the US population. As a polity, NYC represents more people than the 9 least populous states (Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, N Dakota, S Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, and Maine) combined. In fact, there are only 12 US states that have a bigger population than NYC alone, and one of those is New York state. From a population perspective, the mayor of NYC is equivalent to the governor of Virginia. That's why everyone is freaking out about this so much. Plus he's young and very handily beat the candidate backed by the DNC establishment, showing cracks in what they assumed was a solid neoliberal core.

He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart, he's got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.

As a Canadian I know almost nothing about Zohran Mamdani, but I do know that he has more class than a man ever will who, while President of the USA, writes this, or the people who see a non-white left-winger win a democratic vote and immediately call for his deportation. The world can see this. Trump and MAGA are bringing shame on your country.

"All the (centrist fucks) are extreme leftist Marxists!"

"OMG a (milquetoast moderate) won, the Marxists are taking over!"

"Holy shit a (moderately left leaning person) won an election! It's over for America the Communists won!"

"The crazy Marxist Democrat extreme leftists have gone too far with this (standard progressive)"

...etc etc...

now we have an "actual" socialist, but the boy cried wolf so many times they can't label him anything more extreme because they already threw those words at people like... (Checks notes)... Nancy Pelosi... Lol

[-] _AutumnMoon_ 1 points 15 minutes ago

I want an actual communist to win some election, just to see how much they freak out
