Traitors love traitors, nothing new to see here.

What's next, is he going to name a skyscraper after Bin Laden?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He was a cool guy, a very nice guy. He really stood up for his beliefs, which is something that me and him have in common, liberals don't like us.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 18 points 11 months ago

Bin Laden was a hero, he made sure I had the biggest tower in Manhattan. /DJT

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Bin Laden? No. Putin? More than one.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 47 points 11 months ago

Makes sense that a failure would want to name things after failures.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 43 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Why do this? Because he believes the liberals are going to freak out about this and forget about rioting.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because a majority of his people don’t care about the racism or approve of it.

It’s a populist move in the USA.

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 17 points 11 months ago

He definitely doesn't want the rioting to end, he is actively trying to make it bigger. What he wants to people forgetting is that Musk repeated that Trump is in the Epstein flight logs.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 11 months ago

Because he thinks people are going to freak out and protest over it

It's interesting how when France or Germany protests and property is damaged, US media always calls them protests, but when my compatriots do it, they're "riots."

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

And to embolden his fan base. It's a win-win for him.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 41 points 11 months ago (4 children)

It's like he's compelled to be on the moral wrong side of absolutely everything. Reminder: the Confederacy wanted to secede so they could continue owning and abusing black people for profit. What a garbage person Trump is...

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There has to be some kind of psychological term for this. Conservatives are obsessed with triggering the libs, it's like they live in a perpetual state of wanting to be an asshole.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I will resist them, but honestly I can't imagine living with that much hatred inside me...

Left hand: Protesters waving Mexican flags in the US are unpatriotic or traitors.

Right hand: The names of the soldiers of the traitorous racist confederacy should be forever remembered and boosted above real Amercan soldiers and real American figures of good repute, plastered across our military bases, schools, and town squares. We should all romanticize these men who killed American soldiers in the defense of the institution of slavery.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean restoring the names of traitors is pretty on point for a fucking traitor.

The Confederacy and its people were an enemy foreign state. It wasn't like a little club the South had for a few years. They split from the USA. They were defectors, traitors, enemies of the USA.

Not surprised Donny would do this, though. He dismissed the insurrection on Jan 6th, which was a group of defectors, traitors, and enemies of the USA. He's a 34-time felon, which means he has a history of being against the US, its citizens, and their interests.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why do we want to keep them named after people who literally fought against the US?

What will this accomplish? They renamed the Sears Tower and nobody got on board. Sears went bankrupt and they still own the name of that skyscraper. This just seems like today's flavor of wet fart.

[–] mienshao@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

In this house, we spit on the name W*llis! It’s Sears Tower until it falls!

[–] KarlHungus42@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He’s on a never ending quest to out-cunt himself. He takes it very seriously.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I haven't even seen him accidentally do something decent since he got back in office. It's truly impressive.

The Traitor and chief.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He’s so proud of those losers.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah, what happened to not liking troops that lose?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Gosh, now I wonder why he would want to do that?

I mean, the cons are always so quick to complain when someone points out their long history of racism and things like the Southern Strategy.

Who is this for, then, if not for the racists in his own party?

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Loser restoring losers, seems about right.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Traitor restoring traitors.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

hell yeah participation trophies

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It’s about pissing off the libs.

You guys know if you’d just let the Confederacy split off it’d just have been some backwater colonial state with oil money and little else right?

I’m surprised his favorite president is still Jackson, when we actually had a Confederate (ex) president.

President John Tyler, who took over after the death of William Henry Harrison, supported and joined the Confederate States’ Congress later in life, though he died before he could actually take his seat in it.
