Anyone who didn't vote against this deserves whatever they'll get.

[–] Quill7513 43 points 6 days ago (2 children)

my concern is all the people who voted against it and will get harmed first as the people who didn't push back sit back and laugh because they fail to see the people they just enabled see them as with us, and not as part of their cabal

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i’m worried about that too, especially since many people who voted against him belong to vulnerable groups. however, i think his largely ignorant and poor supporters will get their fair share of suffering as he simultaneously destroys the economy and the social safety net

[–] Quill7513 9 points 6 days ago

i wish i could see that as a good thing, or a bright side, but i just don't. even if someone chose to be tortured, they're still getting tortured, and the only motivation for that crowd has ever been blaming us for their suffering. they will endure great torture as long as they get to wish a worse life on someone else. they will suffer, yes, but they will blame us. the mass media is already paving the road for this line of thinking, saying Kamala ran too far to the left, which to me sounds like a dog whistle for too much minority support, given how far right she ran

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 5 days ago

Yeah there are a lot of people saying “well I voted” then scapegoating their preferred group of vulnerable people and calling “leopard ate my face” on native Americans, Palestine supporters, Latin voters, black voters, women, etc.

They feel justified in washing their hands, sitting back and essentially siding with the fascists.

The most effective bit is going to be flooding media with how trump is being led around, manipulated, and not in control. Point to Elon and Vance. Trump will eventually lose his damn mind.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

and also of Trump making Elon his bitch to drive Elon nuts as well

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Nah, the lodestone is Trump. Make it flow one direction or it loses power.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Knowing Elon, he'll get a hard on for the power fantasy and play right along

[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Billions of dollars but wears same clown outfit.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, we're talking about a guy who thinks it's classy to shit in a golden toilet.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What. I have missed something?..

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There's been a story for years now that Trump had a golden toilet in his penthouse in Trump Tower.

Even if it's not true, it's the sort of thing he would think was classy based on the rest of his design sense.

[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh I thought you meant how Elons nickname is the Golden Toilet.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Not a terrible nickname to be honest.

[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 6 days ago

You could pay someone who has it if you're not a a complete, oh wait nevermind I see. Lol

[–] Quill7513 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

pictured left to right, famine, conquest, war, and pestilence

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] Quill7513 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

i went with gabbard as conquest since she's a Russian asset

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

From the sounds of it, I think they all are.

[–] Quill7513 4 points 6 days ago

100%. all of them could realistically be any of the horses at the right moment in time

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

Thanks I didn't know who she was.

[–] Quill7513 3 points 6 days ago

she's a politician who spouts conspiracy misinformation. the next president wants her to head the cia and fbi

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I believe that is tulsi gabbard. Trump wants her as director of national intelligence

Life is so shitty that these morons are the ones tearing it down instead of some brilliant evil masterman.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah destroying shit is easy, building mostly good, useful, strong and reliable systems is incredibly hard...

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Easier to be a nero than a diocletian

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Who gets to use the brain cell today?

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago
[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

There’s like 3 brain cells in that picture

[–] gingernate@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

And at least 1 brain work 🐛

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 days ago

And they're fighting over which takes fourth place.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pictures like this help keep me on track to make sure my family has a way off this sinking ship should we need it.

Passports for the kiddos this month.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We're doing the same. I have dual citizenship with the UK, although my wife and daughter (who is queer, the biggest reason why we're leaving) can't. They can't stay there on family visas forever, but I am hoping that by the time I have exhausted renewals, it will either be safe to return or they can legitimately request asylum.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like a solid plan — best of luck to your family.

The plan we're building sees us moving out of AZ and to a blue state near the Canadian border. From there I brush the dust off my degree while my wife ensures she has what she needs to continue working as a nurse in Canada. UK is in consideration, too. Germany after that given their pathways to welcoming immigrants — especially in medical or in university. Alas, those latter options are so much harder to pull off, especially when we're also trying to be near uncles and grandparents for the kid's sake especially. Here's to hoping for asylum if it really does get that bad.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Good luck to your family as well.

"History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."

Not a Marxist but seems uncomfortably apt in this case.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

I mean it's not like Marx was always wrong. I think he just had too much faith in humanity's ability to do what's best for themselves, which is kind of what communism requires. Too many people want to be told what to do.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

War, death, idiot, pestilence?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I think 'idiot' applies to everyone in that image.

[–] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Trump being Famine seems apt

This is the way American democracy ends, not with a bang but a Twitter.

[Bangs are en route.]

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Gas prices are lower now, Thanks Trump.
