Bin Laden won, he got some folks to crash a couple of planes and then the U.S. did the rest of the work for him, and now the America that experienced 9/11 simply doesn’t exist anymore, that country strangled itself. We are the corpse of what was once the united states and we are being Weekend at Bernie’s’d by christo fascists.

Fuck this country.

Someone embarrassed Americans by giving them a bloody nose so the US spent the next two decades trying to stop the bleeding by stabbing itself in the heart.

I love me some good old fashioned verification, so thanks for falling on that sword for us. (No way in hell am I clicking through to that shit hole though.)

Edit: I misread the URL and it's an archive site, not TS.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 56 points 3 weeks ago

FWIW it's an archive site, no traffic to trump social.

[-] officermike@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago

The link isn't to Truth Social proper, but rather an archive site with a very specific focus.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 weeks ago

Oh rock on. I misread the URL, so thanks!

It's not dead: it's gone from latent fascism to acute fascism. It's very sick, and it will die, but not without hurting the whole world in its noisy death throes.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 69 points 3 weeks ago

Seems kinda random. Also, we now live in a reality where the POTUS singles out randoms to remove their citizenship?...

I'm eating an onion here, aren't I?

[-] lennee@lemmy.world 56 points 3 weeks ago

not random, trump is a fascist and he dislikes her. This is the world we live in now.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 38 points 3 weeks ago

He's hated her for a while.

14 year old Trump tweet:I feel sorry for Rosie 's new partner in love whose parents are devastated at the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie--a true loser.

Imagine being a full grown adult and thinking that is an acceptable thing to say to or about someone.

Just don't talk about the Epstein files!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 61 points 3 weeks ago

Now seems like as good of a time as ever to say this. I have in the past always said that in 1930s/1940s Germany the average German may have or may not have supported the nazis. I have also said that the average German may have or may not have known about concentration camps.

Without the internet, those citizens never had a voice. And it was all too easy for the nazis to round up opposition, and take them to camps.

I have always had people argue me that couldn't happen. That all Germans at that time knew, and supported it. Then they call me a holocaust denier. Which never made any sense to me. I never said it didn't happen.

Point is, without the internet, todays modern american would not have a voice. It would seem like we ALL support maga. We don't. However, there are large portions of americans who think of cops as the good guys. There are people who argue that police don't abuse their power. Simply because their media never tells them about it. Not because they support police brutality, but rather because they believe Rodney King was a single incident.

These same people think you're crazy if you tell them what ICE has been doing, or that we've already turned into a nazi state.

So I'll say it again. The nazis took full power. They never had full support. Maga doesn't have full support. Get your voice out there. Fight maga regardless of what nation you live in, just as your grandparents fought nazis regardless of what nation they lived in.

And now it's time for some personal messages.

Pierre says hello.

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Simply because their media never tells them about it.

Simply because their media of choice never tells them about it.... FIFY

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, sure. But I'll also say this. I don't know anyone who watches multiple news outlets. I also don't know of any singular news source that's accurate and unbiased.

What I found used to work for getting the bigger picture is going on reddit's news subs.

Thousands of people, all posting from various sources, with a comments section that isn't biased towards one direction (though they do lean more left historically, but not always).

Then I got banned from reddit by a bot that never made sense, as the comments I was banned for weren't even controversial.

And Lemmy just doesn't have the pure numbers to do that sort of thing. Which is sad, because being decentralized is the whole point here.

The end result is, I feel my news is incomplete, and often untrustworthy.

So yes, those people chose the wrong source for news. But at the same time, there really isn't a decent singular source either.

[-] radioactivefunguy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

You should check out GROUND News if you haven't. Its a great way to a get an overview of all the various biases in different sources reporting on the same news.

No comment sections, but I've actually come to appreciate that

Any German who didn't rise against the Nazis did support them. Doing nothing is the biggest form of support fascists need to survive because they have so few hardcore supporters.

The same goes for Americans today. If you're not actively fighting them, you are enabling them. Every dead immigrant or trans kid is someone you could have tried to protect but you didn't want to use force or risk yourself for.

Born in the USA, her mom was US born too and he wants her citizenship revoked. Well outside the definitions of the birthright citizenship he’s pushing. So basically no one is safe

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

I’ve been concerned this day would come. At least as of this moment, it’s smoke being blown on social media. But we all need to pay very careful attention to this going forward, because the moment it actually happens, we are all fucked.

The onion doesn't stand a fuckin chance anymore. They can't keep up with this level of dumb.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 9 points 3 weeks ago

They could become a serious news outlet, now, and never have to change their headlines.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 39 points 3 weeks ago

Rosie O'Donnell the comedian and talk show host? THAT's who super strong and brave mr. Trump is afraid of?

[-] 0x01@lemmy.ml 35 points 3 weeks ago

The time is now to delete your social media and connect on private communication channels with likeminded people. Use trusted vpns to connect to sites like lemmy. The next steps are crystal clear:

  1. It's now illegal to publicly shit talk the administration, fuck the first amendment
  2. Use the massive massive budget assigned to ice to identify users who don't fall in line
  3. Anyone who is so unpatriotic to publicly disavow the trump regime has their citizenship revoked
  4. ice concentration camps for those newly non-citizen "immigrants"
  5. Everyone else "internalized authoritarianism" s themselves into submission

When nobody speaks out it will feel as though there is no hope and you'll feel alone. Keep safe communication channels open now so you don't have to fear later.

Vpns may be made illegal, but there are other ways to anonymize communication.

No one can tell if you're running a private VPN if you generate a bit of garbage unencrypted activity while you do it

Ever time he attacks people that criticize him like this he comes off as such a weak, crying baby that I am amazed that his base is not disgusted with him, but they never are. How can they not see him for what he is?

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Well you see... That's because they are also week little babies. That's why they flock around a "strong man" like him.

They love him exactly for what he is in their eyes: strong, candid and clever. For them he is honest ("he tells it like it is") and can do no wrong ("Trump was right about everything"). What other people see as idiocy, weakness and corruption, they see as strengths.

Big part of this appeal is that his persona gives his followers an unlimited license to be as dumb, fascist and hateful as they want.

Get a load of this guy (totally doin the thing we knew he would do). Now how long will it take for people to realize what part of the story we are in here. I dunno....i think those who can should probly be armed at this point.. and everyone organized in any way within their communities. If they come for you, your neighbors should FEEL that shit. Especially your conservative neighbors and family members. Alienating eachother right now is exactly how they want us. Check on your neighbors guys.

[-] KarlHungus42@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

The only thing worse than him blatantly shifting all norms to authoritarianism, is that his "freedom loving patriots" are too busy sucking misinformation out of his asshole to give a fuck.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

He wants the Epstein client list out of the news cycle SO FUCKING BAD

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.snekerpimp.space 18 points 3 weeks ago

“Why is everyone talking about Epstein??”

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yes and also the USA we thought we knew really was as massive of a lie as our hearts suspected and our eyes denied.

[-] the_wise_wolf@feddit.org 11 points 3 weeks ago

Reasonable people have known that the USA was rotten. But it was impossible to know to what extent. This is what we are discovering now.

I always thought it was crazy how the Nazi party was able to rise to power, and that with the internet that wouldn't be possible again...

The internet seems to have almost amplified it, and I am watching it again in real time, and so many people seem glad and willing to march right into authoritarianism - cheering.

What I think is happening here is in his subconscious he is Rosie and it's Rosie that's doing all these horrendous things (he is actually doing) and projecting. But seriously America, in the next election try not to vote in the raging sexual assaulting narcissist.
