“Dear ~~USA~~ conservatives…”

This person makes a great point. It's amazing how vapid and meaningless our common discourse has become. Long has it been since edifying conversation has been the norm.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Trump voters want to talk about making towns safe, permanently removing people who cause problems or don't play along properly, and make a society where white men to a greater extent can do some kinds of horrible abuse behind closed doors with everyone knowing, most people tolerating it, and only a few authority figures able to do anything about it if they want to or are pressured to.

Peak liberalism.

Imagine thinking that once the loudest symptom of fascism is no longer visible, the decades long multibillion dollar Republican project to undemocratically seize power just goes away. That all the structural issues with America go away.

Big “We want to go back to brunch” energy.

What? You're telling me that what happened in 1933 with the business plot to overthrow the government and no one of importantance being held accountable allowed fascism to continue to grow. That is..... That actually tracks with America. We have a terrible short term memory.

sadly, voting him out does not erase him.

I think it would work reasonably well, because losing twice in a row sends a pretty clear message.

Someone younger than him will pick up the torch though, so his ideas will unfortunately live on.

people younger than him are already driving a lot of his public policy pronouncements, so those policies might as well be attributed directly to them. if they left diaper don to his own devices, much of his following wouldve evaporated by now save for the racial extremists.

I think there's a good chance the whole "MAGA" movement dies out in a few elections if Trump loses this round. It's not particularly popular in my area at least, and "MAGA" candidates have consistently lost the nomination for local elections because people are tired of all the BS (Trump will still win my state though because of the R). If he loses, I think it'll peter out a bit unless someone with Trump's charisma gets the nomination in 2028.

I was thinking, "Wait, we can vote him out of existence?"

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

if we cannot incarcerate, exile him. let him go crying back to putin and see how accepted hell be

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

It's amusing that Trump can't see that Putin will drop him as soon as his usefulness ends, just like Trump does to people who support him (Giuliani, for example).

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

i hope thats what happens to him when he gets there.

[-] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

We would be happy to see him running from prison.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

he would still be eligible to assume the office from there so no thanks

[-] Kiwi_fella@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You're a foreign actor, trying to influence the elections. Very bad. Much evil.

this is a naive view of the world and honestly kind of insufferable

Snowshadow is a great follow 👍🏻

As if Trump is a source of all problems in the world

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Getting rid of Trump doesn't have to solve anything. I'll still feel good to know he didn't get something he wants. That's petty, and that's fine. So is he.

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Getting rid of Trump is a chore, not a victory!

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

And yet, when it happens, I still plan to celebrate.

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

If I learned something from psychotherapy, it's that I should congratulate myself on doing chores
