Don't Let Them Win
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
likewise for Putin
Think about how funny the internet is going to be when the good news is announced 🥰
Internet?? That will be a day for being outside dancing in the streets!
I want to see his exit wound every time I see him on live TV.
If that were to happen, I’d hope that there would be multiple angles. For posterity.
It’ll just make him a martyr to these assholes. And when that last cheeseburger finally gets him, I swear it will be a conspiracy theory that he was poisoned by Obama or whoever.
so fucking what? they dont need an excuse to ruin everything. let him be a martyr, and the next one and the next one until they get the fucking message.
Reagan went out slowly over 10 years with Alzheimers and they still worshipped him.
They will find any excuse to worship whoever they want because they are not bound by logic or reason.
So if they’re going to worship him regardless, might as well hope to stop the damage he causes sooner.
Yeah I want lightning to do it
You’re absolutely right. He needs to go out with a whimper, not a bang.
I check the news every morning. One of these days, I’ll see that the little blood clot we’re all rooting for finally won. And that will be such a good day.
The flags here were lowered to half mast recently and I got excited.
Unfortunately it was something local and not my hope.
I hope when Frump dies, ALL flags will be flown EXTRA HIGH that glorious day.
I want to get a telescoping flag pole. That way when someone wicked dies, I can fly the flag at DOUBLE mast.
My father in laws fondest wish was to outlive Trump. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. So I have to live that wish for him.
I have a bottle of champagne that was gifted to my partner and I at our wedding. We were originally saving it for a milestone anniversary, but we have instead decided that we uncork it when It Happens.
I aim to be alive but I also probably will be risking alcohol poisoning that day so who knows if I see the next day.
Those who are about to die, we salute you
You won't be alone, hospitals gunna be slammed with ODs
What a horrid cunt. Will be a great day.
but cunts are warm and inviting, while Trump is cold-hearted and repulsive
And shit on his grave! Don't forget shit on his grave!
His grave will be the most popular gender-neutral bathroom on Earth.
They're gonna need maximum security 24/7 on wherever he's buried.
i always read this word as "orbituary", and now o fancy thinking of his ungodly remains in low earth orbit, slowly breaking down at they reenter the atmosphere.
I could see him putting himself in orbit, in some kind of space coffin. Maybe with help from bezos. And making a big spectacle of it before he dies. People make some jokes and then everyone forgets about it. Ten years later, there’s some obscure news story about it get hit by some orbiting garbage and knocking it into the atmosphere, and nobody caring.
I assume the queue to shit and piss on his grave is going to be very long.
If you're not already in line it's too late. Get in queue now and leave it to your kids in your will
I've been dealing with the kind of mental health issue alluded to here for a long time, for myself and people I've known.
Get revenge on the people that wronged you by flourishing. Remove yourself from toxicity and thrive as hard as you can just to leave the haters in the shitty place that you both intersected at, while you grow and blossom and evolve, and they are left the stagnant monkeys that they are.
Now I understand Elvis Costello's song "Tramp the Dirt Down" much better. That one was about Margaret Thatcher, but if the shoe fits.
You dont have to wait for Long.
Only 13 more years if he lives as long as his dad did.
He won't. Have you seen the shape he's in? The constant bruising, the dementia, the falling asleep during meetings? He doesn't have that long left.
That's what people have been saying for the past ten years. He's still around and, unfortunately, has the best health care in the world. Not to say I'm not hopeful you're correct, mind!
Dementia takes a long time to kill people. Especially if they’re surrounded by caretakers and servants. Until they stop drinking and die of dehydration, it’s really only heart failure/ stroke or falls that kill them. I doubt someone so narcissistic has a DNR or end of life directives.
It’ll be interesting to see how much longer he’ll be able to walk though. He’s unfortunately likely to finish out the term first.
I have a feeling his health will take a rapid downturn after January 20 or so. Peter Thiel will want his puppet to go into the 2028 election with an incumbency advantage and a sympathy hook, and at that point, it won't use up any of his constitutionally-permitted terms.
Depends on if they think they can win without him. If they’ve rigged the congress enough to stay in power then they might just decide he doesn’t need to leave office, especially if Vance or whoever’s numbers don’t look good enough.
I have a nice bottle just waiting for a special occasion.
I have this fear that he died of COVID during his first term and was replaced by a (much younger) imitator and deepfakes.
I think a fleshmask makes far more sense given how he looks.
Cute y'all think this is going to die with him.
They might replace him with someone competent.
Few can match his weird charisma with the masses, even if they can better bend the government to their will. When strongman leaders die, they are notoriously hard to replace, so considering how Trump has torn down anyone with independent popularity while filling his administration with weaklings like Vance, the party will not stay in power without him. Even much of the right will be sick of the state of the economy, despite their unwillingness to admit that it was all their fault. This wave of fascism will die with Trump, and that's why nobody has succeeded in replace him over the last decade.
Besides, I think the oligarchs will want more stability after he's gone, and with the Democrats getting more corrupt every year, placing them in power will be a no brainer. Foolish liberals will believe whatever bullshit they're sold about "rebuilding our democracy" and "swinging the pendulum back," while some Gavin Newsom like corporat will be chosen as the next king. With the rise of China as the dominant superpower, they'll sell everyone on anticommunist bullshit that'll win over many of fascists that used to follow Trump. They'll likely continue throwing minorities like trans people and immigrants under the bus, but they'll be nicer about it and dress it up as "serious concerns" to give plausible deniability to people who thought Trump only went too far.
If that's what you mean by replace him with someone competent, then maybe you're correct. However, that'll be a distinctly different stage to what we have right now, and it likely won't last either for the very same reason that neoliberalism led to fascism in the first place.
At this point, most of Trump's inner circle can't risk a return to rule of law. Without a Republican president securing pardons, many people in power can get jailed.
Strongmen are hard to replace, but that creates power struggles within the inner circle rather than a calm return to liberal democracy.
Project 2025 was written and executed competently because of people other than Trump. There will be a Project 2029, a similar step towards autocracy.
With Google replacing its search with AI and similar substitutions being made across media, the information that people will be consuming >90% of the time will be malleable everywhere all at the same time in the same way.
Those data centers popping up everywhere aren't being built for nothing, they want AI to be so plentiful as to suffuse everything, so that events can simply be hallucinated into or out of existence, and you can't tell the difference between Mandela Effect, Memory Hole, or genuine change in available evidence.
This is why tech company leaders were put in the most prominent position during the inauguration; it is through them that the post-truth state of a stable fascist regime will be accomplished.
They can't let this project go to waste. They've invested trillions in this, committed countless felonies, and burned bridges with allies and economic partners across the world. Either they continue to commit or their ambitions collapse forever.
There will not be a successful power struggle because of the person JD Vance is. He will take office after Trump, but unlike him, he will actually be a puppet to oligarchs with no agency. The biggest lie people tell themselves about Trump is the he has handlers and is totally controlled by other people. However, if the rich actually wanted an obedient puppet, they would've chosen literally anyone else. They support Trump because only he could give them so much, but Trump is a dangerous person they'd rather have without. He has irreplaceable political support, while Vance is a weak yes man who will follow whatever his beneficiaries want.
They will demand elections, not because they want to return to genuine liberal democracy, but because they'll want the stability and support for the system liberal democracy brings. If Vance somehow wins even with the increasingly toxic MAGA brand and his lack of charisma, they'll get more of what they want. If Democrats win, they'll get a corrupt goon who will repeal none of Trump's changes that actually benefit them, while throwing a few bones to social progressives.
A new Democratic administration would not be a return to the past, but a chance for them to solidify policy changes with more popular support. The next Republican administration doesn't have to worry about pardons because the weak ass Democrats will never do a fucking thing beyond the bare minimum for revenge. They'll be too busy attacking the left for being China loving communists. All the while, the things taken away will fade from political memory, and people will get used to our new cyberpunk dystopia.
But that's not all!
While a lot of oligarchs do want a more conservative social order, they want money and economic control more. They've already won big, and a number of changes like abortion access and anti trans bigotry are unlikely to reverse course. They're taking such a big chunk out of our civil rights that even if half of them were restored, they'll still have won enough to keep them satiated for now. Even better, as the Democrats once again prove to be ineffectual and weak, they'll be able to sell fascism as the solution once more.
You over estimate AI and propaganda's ability to create stability. People having shit material conditions will always create instability that the oligarchs need to lean into to maintain control. Them having a Democrat win an election is not them losing anything, but all part of their plan. We aren't in for a stable authoritarian government where the people are made poorer and more powerless every year. That just isn't possible and never has been. China is strong now because they made their country wealthy and powerful, while the Soviet Union collapsed because they made member states bitter and squeezed their people for no meaningful benefit. Now the US will follow the Soviet Union into the graveyard of empires, and it will probably be even less pretty than that era was for them
Russia satisfies its need for the support of a liberal democratic system by having elections. The Roman Empire satisfied its need for the support of the republic system by still having a senate. These procedures don't need to die for them to become irrelevant to the functioning of power.
The US will likely still have elections. The oligarchy will decide the next president through rigged Republican primaries, and then that president will win through a rigged federal election. The Democrats will take their paychecks to play the honorable losers to discredit claims of election fraud, and AI-filtered feeds will try to push people in the same direction.
You over estimate AI and propaganda’s ability to create stability.
I don't know if they would actually create stability, but this is the plan they seem to be executing on, and they certainly expect a lot from AI and propaganda. If it helps, they're also making massive amounts of autonomous drones, which could be weaponized and deployed against their own citizens. (While automated weaponry is a war crime, that only applies when fighting another state. The US is already committing war crimes against its own citizens with tear gas and inhumane prisons).
Man just shut up with that.
The guy is a child-raping traitor. His death will be a blessing, full stop.
