Among the great tragedies of our time is the fact that this slimy rapist dirtbag conman isn’t already yesterday’s news. Fade the fuck away, Donald.
The American right are beyond pathetic that this whining fat orange bitch is the best they’ve been able to come up with for 3 consecutive election cycles. At best he’s a distraction from the shit our country needs to do and at worst he’s a danger to the entire world, us included. Demented dotard belongs in jail and nowhere near the levers of power.
He’s not a danger himself. He’s not in the shape for anything but hospice.
This is elder abuse and I feel terrified at the thought of anybody being in his skin.
Pretty sure Trump doesnt deserve that level of empathy
i feel like i tend to have a decently high level ability to understand and empathize with people, but i just can’t summon it for that man.
i’m sorry he was abused, but at some point, a person can just be a worthless pos.
100% agreed
At some point after that he may no longer be coherent enough.

Removed, and 24 ban. Advocating violence.
I saw it myself on televised cameras. There was nothing “alleged” about the disgusting and utterly degrading assault of America than happened on January 6th, conducted by the lowest forms of vermin on earth. I saw it myself - it did happen.
And furthermore, any human being who casts a vote for an excremental piece of criminal vermin like trump should be considered dangerously ill and NEEDS to be stripped of their American citizenship and their voting privileges. Society cannot afford to have sick cretins running around loose. Lock them up, or at least build gas chambers to get rid of them all for good so we can move on from this horror.
I’m frustrated too, but this is the rhetoric of the people you’re railing against. Please take a moment and regroup.

But what you’re saying is literally what they are, just in the opposite direction.
And to be clear, I think of the two choices that you’d be correct. However, saying people need to have their citizenship revoked because they vote for someone you don’t agree with is the opposite of democracy. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean you get to throw out the rules.
You’re just being what they are.
Gee I wonder why democrats always get shit on /s. Guh let’s just wait for the politicians and corporations to set things right. They have our best interests in mind. Meanwhile Republicans are literally barging into house and taking over. Fucking spineless. It’s okay the most important trial in us history is about to get dropped because fani needed a booty call. … from a Canadian standpoint. Your fucked.
You need to be better than they are, for all our sakes.
Funny thing though: the other side says the exact same thing.
Of course, they are brainwashed and full of hatred, but again, they say the same about us.
I’m just trying to say: you’re right, but the other side isn’t going for trump because they’re insane. They’re going for trump because they allowed themselves to be fooled, but they really believe all the crap trump is feeding them. These aren’t so much evil geniuses as gullible people who want what they think is best. Since they’re told were all evil and out to get them, well, they want to get rid of us. The age old “divide and conquer” strategy.
The more you go “kill em all” the more they will too, that will lead to an ugly outcome. Even if we win, we still gotta live next to them, they’re our neighbors, our family, our friends. Maybe focus your anger on those that are riling them up, that tell them to hate. Trump should at this point -frankly- be shot for treason, same for his kids who are very involved. Their followers, however, should be shown and made understood that trump is hatez that trump is lies and corruption.
This is very antidemocratic of you. It’s treating the symptoms and not the root cause. While I agree that trump and his supporters are vile, we should not advocate for removal of citizenship or voting rights of anyone.
Trump exists because of a flawed system, not flawed individuals. We need to fix the system or will continue to get Trump after Trump
This man says so many things daily that shows he is unfit, and the best defense we have against him is Biden. It is going to be a rough ride.
Biden beat him the first time. Was that not good enough?
Trump still had a chance, and Biden is less popular than he was in 2020, I personally doubt Biden will win.
I’m afraid of it but I agree with you because “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” so it’s very much possible for the orange leader to occupy the White House again, and possibly for the rest of his days.
No, we have other better options, but liberals will refuse to vote for anyone who they haven’t had led to them by the DNC establishment, and then act like everyone else is enabling fascism by suggesting actual leftist leadership.
Why do you think that regular voters get to decide who the DNC candidate is during a Democratic incumbent administration?
If you abstain from voting because you equate Biden to be as bad as Trump, Trump will be the next President. Don’t be a fucking idiot.
How are there not at least a million other citizens in the United States who would be better presidential candidates, not just these two old yokels.
There’s the quiet part that gets said out loud.
then there’s the part that they think, loudly.
Then there’s the parts that are so awful, they even think them quietly.
I’m convinced CPAC is the last part, there.I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but that title is misleading:
the unprecedented success of the United States of America will be my ultimate and absolute revenge.”
These manipulative headlines only help Trump. In the same speech he says he is the only person who can stop WW3. A ridiculous statement that only a cult leader would say. He also said that Biden approved Nord Stream on day 2 of his presidency which is a complete lie. Nord Stream 1 was blown up and then Biden got Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2. The opposite of what Trump said. There is plenty of valid criticisms and no need to be manipulative of Trump’s words.
Sure, but that “success” are coming after his “day 1 dictator” comments-- just a few short dots to connect and come up with the original title here.
Sure, but then quote the actual problematic comments, don’t purposely mislead with the one thing he said that wasn’t problematic. That just gives fuel to their persecution complex.
Right, but every new article seems to treat him with a blank slate. You could write a completely
unbiasedtrue article saying “Convicted rapist who wants to be dictator ‘for day one’ of his presidency says that he’ll use the ‘success of the US’ as his ultimate revenge.”The news fucking kowtows to this fascist’s feelings far too much IMO. Seems biased in the opposite direction, just so they can maintain a “neutral” tone.
edit: of course all news has bias, I meant truth instead
Dog whistles
Is his campaign manager Vince McMahon?
Could be, they do know each other. Even worked together.
Look into the term Kayfabe and how it relates to the rhetoric of Trump. There are several worthwhile analyses. Here is one such article:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-trump-learned-about-manipulation-from-pal-vince-mcmahon
Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.
His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.
No idea why this isn’t brought up more - the WWF in the late 90s was incredibly vulgar, racist, and sexist. And Trump intentionally associated with it. Why is that never discussed?
Because the kind of loser that liked WWE is the kind of person that is terminally online on the even nerdier version of Reddit.
Right, which makes Trump look like a giant fucking loser for working repeatedly with WWE since the 80s.
Which is why the Dems/Nikki Haley/Jeb should have brought it up repeatedly
Damn, these people have nothing in their lives but hatred.
How does Merrick Garland sleep at night?

Linguaphobia! That’s a new one
Sure sounds like Trump is a big threat. I may not know much but it seems like cutting off arms supply to Israel would be a bargain if it means this guy doesn’t get elected again. I’m sure some moderate will come in and educate me on why they should get to have their cake and eat it too.
This would be the progressive dream. Not arming Israel and Trump losing is having my cake and eating it too. It’d be a dream come true.
People need to start hounding moderates that it’s their turn to compromise. They’ve dominated the party for so long they think they can just elect whoever they want in the primaries, refuse to compromise and blame somebody else.
The reality of the situation is that there are a lot more moderate Democrats than there are progressives. They have the bargaining power. If we refuse to compromise, they can just turn to independents and moderates (overall moderates, not Democrats). So we’re left with three scenarios:
-
Get the best possible bargain and compromise we can, vote against the common fascist evil.
-
Refuse the deal. Moderate Democrats instead try to pander to the center, and if they win, they move to appease the center allies.
-
Refuse the deal. Democrats pander to center, but they lose. The fascists win instead and push us further right.
The only way to not move further right is to negotiate for the best deal we can, and take it. Plus, we have seen some progressive initiatives in return, like the IRA (happy to give my spiel on this) and a corporate minimum tax that eliminates loopholes.
I know this isn’t ideal. But we don’t hold the necessary power – yet. My long term strategy is continuing to work with Democrats until the Republican party is no longer a threat. It’s vulnerable, and a decisive loss in 2024 could be enough to fracture the party into irrelevance. Once they’re tiny enough that we’re safe, the Democrats and Progressives split into separate parties. Once enough Boomers die off and Zoomers are mostly all able to vote, progressives should have the numbers to rival moderate Democrats, if not eclipse them.
It’s going to take a lot of time, but I think this is the best case scenario to work towards. If we want to have serious economic changes, we need to first hold strong and defeat the party that constantly tries to fuck with social rights.

thank you for doing the hard work
Stop equivocating. There’s no tomorrow after this. Short sighted. I’m starting to despise people like you as we get closer to the election. And before you try to debate me, THIS POST IS A FORUM ABOUT THE THREAT OF A TRUMP VICTORY. No response of yours refutes the fact you’re steering the conversation. You’re working toward a Trump victory no matter what you claim your motivation for your comment.
I’m not equivocating. I’m saying if the situation is this dire then surely cutting off arms supply to Israel is a fucking bargain isn’t it?
It’s time to compromise with leftists and progressives. If you won’t do it now when “there’s no tomorrow after this” then you never will. Make a choice.

Are leftists a minor wing that’s too small to be compromised with? Because if so it’s impossible for us to hold democracy hostage. Moderates are the majority voting bloc. They bear the lions share of the responsibility for any outcome. They elected Joe Biden in the primaries, they’re responsible for how he does in the general elections.
Removed, rule 3, civility.
compromise with leftists….
ROFL…
As a rule, no one should compromise with those that will not compromise. You end up giving away everything and getting nothing. Which is pretty much what it’s like when dealing with the entitled.
As a rule, no one should compromise with those that will not compromise.
Are you under the impression Biden won the 2020 general election without the help of progressives and leftists?
Go away.
So you are aware progressives and leftists compromised and voted for Biden in the 2020 general election.
Surely that means it’s time for moderates and Biden to compromise yes?
Go away.
I think Biden makes compromises. That’s the leftists argument against him. But here he’s probably weighing the cost of pissing off a Jewish block of support and leftists.
I also doubt it’s much of a choice. The leftist won’t support him regardless because he’s not bernie sanders.

yes, even a so-called third party has a remote chance.
Shut the fuck up about the Jews. Every American Jew I know hates what’s happening in Gaza and wants it to stop now. You’re talking to one. Stop reading fucking headlines. You sound like a right winger. Want to rub my horns to find the space lasers?
Well said.
Seriously. Purported progressives acting like domestic terrorists thinking they’re better than hippie anti vaxer moms showing up at the same rallies as nazis. I’m a fucking actual progressive. That’s why I’m compromising with Biden to keep us on oxygen. I can’t stand these fucking imbeciles…
No one can. And as I said, they’ll be gone in a few months having moved on to some other half-baked non-truth to be outraged about.
Sounds like you’d rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists.
Well said. You nailed it.
I may not know much…
You nailed it right there.
Surely you can set me straight with a lecture about compromise or something.
Not going to bother. You’re not worth the time.
Sounds like you think Biden can win the 2024 general election without our votes then. Good luck.
Was this you?
I’m not voting for Biden again. I’ll be voting 3rd party or write in
You already don’t matter. So I’m not really concerned with what you think.
Actually it’s you who doesn’t matter. You’ll vote for Biden regardless of what he does. I will only vote for Biden again if he cuts off arms for Israel and promises to veto any attempts to block the rail strike in his next term.
k. Go away now.
he won without my vote in 2020. Jill Stein says the greens could hit 5% this year.
They really aren’t worth the time. They probably aren’t even a real person. If you look at their post history its literally nothing but FUD aimed at getting trump elected. Hundreds of posts every day. They either aren’t very well (unlikely), or they are an agent of some kind. Don’t feed the troll.
Oh they’re absolutely either a right-wing shill or a Russian bot. The two are so interchanges they’re virtually the exact same thing.

We should just ignore his fascist ramblings and not mobilize people to vote against him? Nah. This stuff needs to be broadcast as widely as possible. Sorry if you’re bored though. Spend some time away from social media I guess.
I’m genuinely creeped out that someone saying these things can have so much support. Honestly I just want to go home and hide under the bed. A year ago when people said things about Trump like “authoritarian” and “fascist” and whatever else it was kinda true but also some hyperbole. Now it’s just plain true.
It was never hyperbole. Remember when he tried to overthrow democracy? Sorry, but you’re just coming to acceptance. This isn’t new. Ask historians.
Exactly. Anyone saying Trump criticism was just hyped up bullshit is a straight moron, or completely in denial. Sure, he’s just saying it plainly now, but it was really fucking obvious previously.
Same as his cultists who can’t face reality. They didn’t take him seriously and they don’t want to admit they were duped. (Yes, that’s an intentionally vague “they” because it applies to both sides)
You should see how they talk when they think they’re in their echo chambers. Hell, they just do it in the open now.
You should hit the streets and let everyone you know that Project 2025 doesn’t have to be real.
Meanwhile I just saw an article about donors being worried about Biden using note cards…
I’d be more worried about the genocide.
People ITT: Fine with supplying arms to a country engaged in genocide as long as it’s the dems doing it.
ROFL!
The fact that anyone thinks electing Trump will somehow improve the Gaza situation is absolutely baffling to me.
You say this as if Ol’ Trumpie boy wouldn’t also contribute to both the Palestinian genocide AND the Ukrainian one

No, I just think human exceptionalism is disgusting. We’ve driven 70% of all species to extinction, and continue to drive 150 more a day. If we found an organism that kills all the other species around it permanently, we would do our damndest to eradicate it.
The one thing Trump won’t do is start WW3. There are only two nations with nuclear arsenals that can threaten MAD, and the other is holding his leash.
Have you already forgotten his random assassination of that Iranian general? Or when he was trading barbs with NK, “this is the calm before the storm”?
How do you imagine either of those things provoking MAD?
Generally speaking I like to avoid wars in general, WW3/MAD or not.
That’s great, but the commenter specifically claimed he was going to start WW3 culminating in MAD.
Like, literally what he said.

I’m sure when you vote for Biden he will get the message that you’re against genocide.
Well done, you certainly changed my mind. Before my posts were like, “yay genocide” but now I’m all, “genocide’s bad.”
What pablum you feed yourself.

I don’t think you’ll succeed much by referring to anyone as a plebian. It’s just animosity for animosity’s sake.
People who blindly support either party are stupid.
Removed and banned for misinformation. Biden is NOT engaging in genocide. Your propaganda will not be tolerated here.
People like you probably don’t even care about genocide. After all, I don’t see these same “accounts” standing up for Ukraine with such passion. You’re just a stooge who wants Trump to win because you’re a shill, some dumb “burn it all to the ground” idiot, or both.
If we were sending missles to fucking Russia it’d be comparable. Now you’re starting to get it lol.
You’re absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!
I’m glad 30,000 dead civilians is hilarious to you. Thank you for putting it in writing.
Tell me about the conspiracy of which you refer. I need to see the dems scramble to downvote your reply.
I’m not happy about that, either, but my choice is between someone who’ll maintain the current level and someone who’ll make that genocide even worse and try to start one HERE, too. Both options are bad, but one is measurably and obviously less bad.
