The only thing Trump has going for him is that he's a bumbling oaf and it's very funny to watch. feast

Trump is the figurehead of the Fourth Reich. Fuck him and everything he stands for.

[-] Quimby@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

I will personally ban anyone who unironically supports Trump. Supporting hardcore reactionaries is reactionary behavior and not allowed.

But, I think we enjoy, in a sort of dark humor way, the ways that he spotlights the contradictions and flaws in our system. There's also an almost incredulous hilarity to the things he is coincidentally right about sometimes, like making American foreign policy less hawkish.

Lmao what dumbass would think communists support a right wing capitalist like Trump?

Here's a tip, not liking one corrupt capitalist doesn't mean we support the other corrupt capitalist.

going out of my way to post on this alt just to emphasize how much we all hate Donald Trump

[-] D61@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

Imagine Trump and liberals as an episode of Scooby Doo.

Trump is the villain and its the liberals who are the "gang".

Only, Trump walks out of the haunted house, mask off laughing and pointing and shouting, "What? You think you can do ANYTHING to stop me?"

And the only thing the "gang" can do is stand in frozen awkward silence because Trump isn't playing his part right and they can't do anything more than what they've always rehearsed.

Nobody here seriously likes or supports Trump as a person but he gets to be the one that constantly shows the world just how much of a sham the USofA actually is. And its glorious.

At best he's a funny symbol because he's a ridiculous over the top cartoon character. Some of the stuff he says and does is genuinely hilarious.

I have to laugh because I am a trans person. I live in terror for myself and my friends. I have learned to laugh at trump, because I was angry for years and I don't want to give myself an aneurysm.

He's the face of late stage capitalism. I do not support him and I avoid people who do.

I think I speak for all of Hexbear when i say we are all HUGE golfers. When we aren’t talking about trans rights, veganism, our hate for single passenger cars, the horrors of imperialism, or instituting revolutionary socialism across the globe, we are usually talking about golf!

I do not support Trump. I do find him funny though.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No

I am another person not in the US but I'm close enough

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

No, I've never supported a US president and never will. First, I'm a communist and a proletarian internationalist. Second, I'm a Luxemburgist and don't support the (inherent, it can sometimes be a useful tool for de-colonial struggle) right of self-determination of nations, so fuck all capitalist states. Thirdly, they've soft-couped my country at least twice.

Trump sucks more than Biden, undoubtedly, he's a nasty shithead and his handlers and handers on are open fascists. They all deserve the wall.

Biden's handlers on the other hand, would regretfully, sadly, slowly, implement fascism to "keep stability and protect the economy for ordinary Americans". They all deserve the Gulag.

As a European (but not the cringe zone), I unironically support the dang cheeto in his noble pursuit of destroying Amerikkka amerikkka

No of course not. He's a billionaire after all. But he's just one of the talking heads of the same machine. I wish him the same Minecraft machinina parody done by a Minecraft YouTuber such as Captain Sparkles that I wish for all the American politicians. If that Louisiana congress-whatever were in power you bet your ass I'm doing that impression just as often.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Trump's policies as president and his rhetoric directly lead to a lot of easily avoidable death and suffering of innocent people who are just trying to live their lives. His COVID inaction alone is responsible for a huge portion of US COVID deaths.

That aside, Trump being elected president again would accelerate the downfall of America even further and that's kinda funny tbh amerikkka

Those actually wondering this are less serious in their disdain for Trump than anyone here. The lemmy libs are so deeply in bed with him and what he represents on every level that they need performative assurances.

[-] Transgenderista@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

fuck no. trump is just entertaining to dunk on because he is a distilled representation of everything wrong with this shitty country.
