A lot of people owe that poor woman an apology.
The hate she gets is wild. I don't always find her comics funny, but the absolute vitriol she gets is wild over on Reddit.
... I don't think the person fizz is talking about is Pizzacake. if you look at the source view on his post, it's the woman screaming during trump's first inauguration/announcement of election results

Not me, I very much felt the same way as she did. And I knew very well what the 2nd term would look like and so I was very sad when he did not get shot that one time. "Oh, how can you say that? He's not that bad." Blind fools the lot of you. It was always so very obvious if you had just cared to look.
She and the McDonald's coffee lady should form a support group or foundation.
'The Foundation for People Who Can't Grieve Good'
Who is this woman? I’m not familiar with the reference.
Someone who was filmed screaming and crying during the announcement (maybe inauguration, can't remember which now) of the 45th president of the US
Jessica Starr. It was Jan 20, 2017 just as he was sworn in. His terrible followers sometimes subtitled this image "autistic screeching".

You know what you see here? Acceptance of election results. You know, what many trumpers lack.

Funny that the one thing all three scenarios have in common is: “misled people that vote”. I wanted to write “dumb and ignorant people voting” but I wanted to be generous

I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.
Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.
Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Were they arguing that extra antivirus wasn’t necessary? Cause windows built in has been better than alternatives for years now (well, idk about 11, but 7, 8, and 10 all had good antivirus).
When I was a strapping young lad, I would rather just reinstall the system in case of viruses than living with the antivirus software

As an autistic person who has a great skill of finding similarities between two things, you can see a lot of parallels between our modern world and 1940s Germany.
I'd say we're still at the 1930s Germany stage, considering World War 3 hasn't started yet.
Unfortunately there are plenty more fascist regimes than Germany's to choose from as examples. Many didn't start a world war, and therefore lasted much, much longer than the Nazis did.

The left will never get the credit for being right all along.
That's okay. I don't want credit. I want things to get better. I want to make things get better.

Basically what I think of Simpsons "predictions".
Matt Groening isn't some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history and recognizes patterns.

Also they laid it all out in project 2025. It's not like they tried to hide it other than trumps usual "I've never heard of it". And if you believe anything that shithead says.. well this is what happens

Anybody with the slightest Critical Thinking Skills knew how bad this would get, way back in 2015.
I knew who this hump was back in the 80s, and could have told you what a disaster he'd be as president back then, and would have been 75% correct, with only a 25% underestimation of how bad it would actually be.
Overall 40 percent of Americans didn't even read a single book last year. Doesn't bode well for critical thinking if we can't even read.
Gen Z Arriving at College Unable to Read
"It's not even an inability to critically think. It's an inability to read sentences."
It goes back further than that.
this current arc starts with 9/11.
Disagree. This is the result of decades more bullshit from other american presidents, political figures, and 3 lettered organizations ran by ghoulish wastes of skin. There have been many famous people who have been outspoken about this shit in that time too. 9/11 and America’s batshit insane reaction to it was just more of the same dumb bullshit the rest of the world has come to expect from it’s governments and citizenry.

2015? lol... USA has been a trash empire since a few enslavers made it up.
Yes, but have you considered how bad it is that respectable white people are now affected by its brutality? Have some empathy for Christ's sake. 😤
Seriously though, it is incredibly frustrating to see discourses like these when racialized and indigenous people in the US metropole have criticised the fundamentally violent nature of the United States before it was even imagined. The smugness of it all y'know?
You'd think after Kent State, Blair Mountain, The Tulsa Massacre, Trail of Tears, etc. white people would have realized "wait a minute, this isn't right." But seems this land is full of neo-liberal moderate white people who have to be targeted to give a damn themselves.
They did. People, white people included, have fought colonialism since it started. Some of the earliest documentation of protests against slavery and genocide in the Caribbean was written by Spanish settlers in the 1510s. When we talk about "white people" we are recognizing that whiteness is more about privilege than it is actual settlers who, while privileged by appearing white in the maintenance of whiteness as a naturally privileged category, can also have that privileged revoked if they become too much of a threat to hegemony. People make decisions based on their material interests, so a privileged class that is also racialized can be effectively mobilized to the disposal of the imperial state as their material security is assured or at the very least benefited by doing so. What we're seeing is people whose familial memory extends generations into that privilege realize for the first time that whiteness is in fact not a real thing that can protect you, and they think that's a particularly enlightened realization because many of them are also liberals who wish to appropriate ideas of anti-fascism and decolonialism to their benefit as they have effectively done in the past. They aren't mad about the violence, they're correctly identifying that they were promised protection from it by birthright.
Make no mistake, when they say that they were the first to realize the US empire was evil, they are asserting that they own the ability to criticize that empire and direct actions in response to that criticism. It's how they coopt black-, queer-, indigenous-, and disability-liberation movements all the time.
If I'm being honest, the first term was quite underwhelming compared to how bad it could be (as 2025+ has proved).
Did you forget all the COVID anti-mask and anti-distancing insanity? The still-not-fully-understood blatant theft and corruption around the PPP “loan” program that pilfered so much money it inflated the US Dollar at unprecedented rates? The intentional separation of children from parents by force?

He didn’t surround himself with literally zombies who only say yes to him during his first term. Them turning on him when he wanted to overrule the election results showed that. He doesn’t know how government works and thought everyone should treat him like a king from the beginning and had a rude awakening that was term 1. Now he knows and thus, utter destruction.
