I firmly believe that if any other candidate, in a primary or general election, either republican or democrat, had said this, it would end their campaign.

We have become so accustomed to Trump saying outrageous bullshit, that this will be forgotten in less than a week, and most voters will never even hear about it.

I'm not sure why the senate shouldn't subpoena him, and have him appear before them to explain just what he means by this. He wouldn't show, of course, and end up in contempt of congress. Of course, this would make him even more popular with his cult, but we already know who they'll vote for.

Really, he keeps doing shit that would get anyone else arrested. It's time to arrest him.

Nah, don't even give him a platform. Let him fade away into our terrible history.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

He has a platform. He needs repercussions.

So wrong. Confront bullies. never appease!!

This is something if a Democrat had said both sides would have their head on a pike. Teflon dons existence is a testimony to how awful people are.

isnt that common knowledge? he just said the quiet part out loud now.

he would have to eventually, to manufacture peoples consent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, I agree with him. His supporters should not vote anytime in the future. Just stay home.

They should start "not voting" this election cycle.

We need to play this clip of Trump on repeat as much as possible, for two reasons:

  1. People need to be fully aware that he intends to destroy the pillars of our society.
  2. MAGA idiots might think they can already stop voting.

I assumed at first it was a satyrical journal like the Onion and read it in that optic. Then I saw the comments and thought a few people had missed the joke and were taking it seriously. Then started doubting, checked what type of paper it was and if other known ones (like nytime) also talked about it...

This is real, fellas. He really did say that.

And people still calling P2025 a big joke.

It reminds me of the movie Mars Attacks when the aliens kept saying “we come in peace!”, and laughing as they were blasting everyone.

Please take this to heart, magas.

At the risk of flogging an already well-flogged dead horse, MAGAts don't care what he says as long as it upsets people they don't like.

And when those ideologies come back to bite them, they'll blame those same disliked people for either causing it or not stopping it, because neither they nor their preferred politician(s) could possibly be to blame for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm worried that they will.
