Nah, but I do like watching it. You all deserve it for your attitudes.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Celebrating other Americans' suffering isn't patriotism, it's spite. I brought up real consequences. That's not about "attitudes" or "holier-than-thou", it's about survival. If you're cheering for fellow citizens to struggle because you dislike their politics, maybe ask yourself what values you're actually defending. I'd rather focus on solutions that help all Americans than watch anyone "get what they deserve."

But what americans are "suffering" because Trump is president?!

Lots of fellow citizens struggle regardless of who's president. To blame it on one president is underplaying all of that.

I’d rather focus on solutions that help all Americans than watch anyone “get what they deserve.”

Then stop being a dick to people who happen to have different political ideas than you do.

But you shove your head so far up your ass I doubt you care about any of this. Go ahead, call it "not suffering" like our country isn't sliding into a fascist coup. Is he hurting the right people in your book? Are we getting what we deserve in exchange for his appeasement? Bootlicker.

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You call that "suffering" though? That's fucking life, bruh.

What about all the people that were "suffering" when Biden was president? lol

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whataboutism.

None of it was necessary. Its cruelty for the sake of cruelty. None of this administrations' declared priorities line up with their actions. DOGE is ending successful efficiency teams and projects telling us they're saving billions when instead they're aligning us with our enemies, the dictators of the world that our leader so desperately idolizes. Never has America removed the rights from an existing protected class until this administration. We're removing fluoride from the water, canceling important flu vaccine meetings, and blatantly shitting on the first amendment by blackmailing colleges with protests.

But it doesn't impact you so everything is fine. "I got mine" right?

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't see anyone "suffering" any more from Trump than they did under Biden. You just don't like Trump. lol

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"I want Americans to 'get what they deserve' because I think they have an attitude" is some serious next level snowflake shit

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, it's not THAT snowflake since Trump won after all. So I guess it worked. Which is awesome.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who's in office doesn't make you less of a snowflake

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are the one crying about it. I'm fine with Trump being in office. You sound like the snowflake.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If that's the only positive thing going on in your life, thanks for letting us know.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Alright then, back to pointing out the flaws in the shitty party you backed because "Fuck other Americans"

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, that's what you all get for being assholes. Which you seem to be proud of, so yeah, I am very happy about it.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now you've crossed a line, you're uninvited from Thanksgiving

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well somehow I feel your Thanksgiving would be about how much you hate republicans, so...

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, we enjoy having a good time. The likes of you don't come up in civil conversations.

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Meh, I actually think the likes of me come up in lots of your conversations.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Finally somebody would think about you? Hold on to that feeling before you become a cranky old traitor... Well, more cranky at least.

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh I have plenty of people in my life, so no worries about that. And you know what? They all like Trump. :)

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Echo chamber. Explains a lot.

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, Lemmy is an echo-chamber. And you are desperate to keep it that way.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"I'm being silenced!" he posted publicly

[–] donaldjmusk@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It does sound like you are trying to silence people

[–] PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago

Then what am I supposed to do for fun?
