How would Trump react if Obama released a video depecting him as an anal wart and Melania as the pool boy's pole dancer? I would pay money to find out.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

He is gonna hit the slurs pretty hard in public soon and we'll hear Leavitt scold reporters for calling him a racist.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Why am I surprised that anyone is surprised by this?

They say this species croaks at a frequency that only children can hear

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Yet doesn't croak frequently enough.

[–] jmankman@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 1 week ago

I hope he croaks tomorrow

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Wish he would croak at a frequency everyone could hear

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

it actually sounds like sharts

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 74 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Everyone who would have posted something racist and vile like this just 2 years ago would have been expelled from school or college or lost their job.

This is absolutely insane.

Also this guy is a pedofile and rapist without any morals.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is what undoing decade worth of progression in less than a year looks like. With such progressive movements, people who oppose it go into social hiding and come out when the time is right. If the progression hasn't lasted enough to become a societal reflex then it can be toppled easily. That is what we are seeing with things like LGBQT+ rights, DEI, inclusivity etc in the US

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

guy is a pedofile and rapist

So essentially a sex offender, lets not forget there is a word specifically for this purpose.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There are sex offenders who don’t touch kids, he’s of the extra vile type.

What a vile human. A coronary can’t happen too soon

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

I’d prefer it be spontaneous dental hydroplosion.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I remember seeing Obama sworn in on the break room TV at work. People still didn't say the quiet part out loud back then, but you could tell they were fucking seething about him getting elected.

"Look how smug he is." "She's ugly." "Just a disgrace." "I bet they're all happy now."

The people who would go on to become the MAGA of today, as well as Trump and so many others, will never let Obama's victory go. They'll never forgive him for being black, successful, and worst of all, more popular than they are.

Even if Obama disappeared from the public consciousness today, or it was discovered that he's committed some horrible crime and he goes to jail, they'd still feel that his getting elected was an unforgivable insult towards them on a personal level.

That's the kind of mentality we're dealing with.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

His election complete broke the minds of a lot of people. We’re in the situation we’re in in part (most of this started long long ago) because their hate finally boiled over.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think it stole a sense of security from them. It's like they assumed that because MLK day was a bank holiday no one needed to be upset about anything anymore, we could keep electing old white guys until the sun burns out, and no one would ever think they're the bad guys for maintaining the status quo.

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There has to be a betting pool on which slur he says on a hot mic first.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Trump saying the N-word is so expected that it would barely make a ripple. He obviously shit himself on camera the other day, and it barely made the Internet.

God I would hate to be his press secretary, your days have to be a nonstop panic of "he did/said/tweeted WHAT now?".

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every now and then I engage with a MAGA who demands my proof that Trump is a racist. Here ya go.

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

“that wasnt him”

“it was removed”

“didnt mean it like that”

“pobody’s nerfect!”

blah blah blah

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

And in 3,. 2,. 1,. we will all watch Mike Johnson avoiding a press scrum saying "he hasn't seen this" and "I don't know anything about it".

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

doesnt really matter, he trafficked, tortured, and raped hundreds, if not thousands of women and children during his lifetime.

and may have also commited cannabilism, it seems.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

yep.........Cannabilism....

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now just imagine if Biden posted this. Now just imagine if Biden was having ice kidnap people off the streets. Now imagine if Biden was in the Epstein files.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't... What? If Biden posted this they'd call it based, racism is literally one of the right's only actual principles. And Biden did have Ice kidnap people off the streets, he just didn't give them mea culpa to execute people or celebrate the cruelty.

They WOULD tear into him for being in the Epstein files, though.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If Biden did just one thing Trump has done in just the last year they would be calling for his resignation and execution.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

this sort of conflation is annoying and unhelpful imo. but go off ig

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

IDK, they would probably have no problem pretending to not be racist for 5 seconds as long as it hurt someone they didn't like

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 11 points 1 week ago

And yet when someone portrays trump as a small dicked wannabe simpleton, they get angry. I don't control what's on the news!

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Remember, it's always projection with this ghoul.

[–] immutable@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

In this case I think it’s distraction.

It’s amazing how easy it was to subvert all checks and balances and criticisms by just always having a few more awful things ready to go.

Video showing your paramilitary murdering citizens, boom release some Epstein files

Credible evidence that you are a pedophile, boom racist meme

People upset about racism, boom attack trans kids or something.

As long as there are a couple outrage plates spinning he can always just wander over to another one if people start getting too upset.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You're saying he's secretly an ape?

In terms of IQ and empathy, he's closer to a flatworm.

That video and Trump are racist as shit. To be clear though, all humans are apes, including Trump. That video depicts them as non-human apes.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just start blasting AI videos of him on epstein Island who fucking cares at this point.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'll rather FBI just releases the ones they have.

Nah, that would undermine the credibility of the real stuff in the public eye.

Not to mention that would be a cruel thing to do to anyone unfortunate enough to see the videos.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

and goes on to call any rage at this fake
