Can't we convince MAGA that trump has been replaced by the deep state or something that makes them fight for a good cause for once?

This is what happens when you systematically dismantle the public education system.

I'm beginning to see why he is a former construction worker.

This guy was fired for being obviously mentally unstable.

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Oh, far from it. This is very much the norm in any construction sector. Everyone is dumb as absolute fuck.

Tell me you are a racist piece of shit without telling me you are a racist piece of shit.

I really believe that most Americans are dumb enough to be racist and just smart enough to know they shouldn't say it. I can't help but read all this apologism for Trump as thinly veiled, "I know he's a weird guy, but thank God someone is finally going to do something about all the people that look different than me".

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Bingo. This guy is likely happy about the reports that twice as many black women than white women die in child birth and after RvW those numbers doubled. He's probably happy when he hears about family seperation, people caught in immigration prisons for dozens of years, and on and on.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

Saying "I voted for Trump" is saying "I'm a racist piece of shit". We can retire the "without saying" joke in this context.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

Also, misogynist. "I sont agree with his dictatorial views, but at least he's got a dick!"

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

That's sadly almost every '24 Trump Voter I've ever spoken to.

It's such an alien thought process that I don't even know where I would begin with discussing politics with such a person.

This is the voter Kamala was supposed to sway with “better messaging”.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 105 points 2 days ago

No, this is the voter she pissed off Dem voters for...

It didn't work out well if you've already forgotten.

If someone says trump is Hitler but they voted for him anyways...

Then he was already going to vote for trump, and chasing his vote just led to losing traditional Dem voters with literally no gain.

Moving to the right is political suicide, yet we keep doing it because that's how you max donations. And that's all the people running the party care about.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 47 points 2 days ago

No, this is the voter she pissed off Dem voters for…

Not sure why you said "no", since you're making the same point I was. This is who the party asked her to sway, and now the party is blaming her for not working hard enough to win the votes of complete fucking morons.

I could have told you that ignoring these morons and running a campaign focused on the working class, social justice, and economic fairness would have gone 1000% farther than trying to win over fence-sitters during the most divided election in U.S. history. Not sure why the Democrats ignored this, I assume they have at least one competent advisor that said this...

Because Hitler is famous for avoiding global armed conflict.

I mean we will pull out of Ukraine, with Ukraine in ruins and taken over. Emboldening Russia to conquer more territories.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I read on the news that Poutin threatened to invade 4 more countries. This is how ww2 got started. They just kept appeasing Hitler until they realized just far he would go. Also with every takeover the Germany military machine got a lot stronger. The take over of Czechoslovakia meant he took over all their military arsenal which was enough to arm several divisions.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

When will Putin invade Poland?

"the greatest argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter"

[-] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 95 points 2 days ago

As a German, this the insane things our parents, grandparents and institutions warned us about. People begrudgingly accepted their lead in the hopes that "although it's an authoritarian, maybe he will take care of our goals". What followed was the cruelty of 1939 to 1945 and no one deserves to live through that, not even the idiots that got us in this mess.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

I desperately, desperately, hoped that Germans, Jews, and especially the few remaining holocaust survivors, could somehow articulate this in a way that would penetrate at some point during the past few years.

Nope. We are literally doomed to repeat it.

Without mentioning the name of the poster, I replied to a comment yesterday that said this:

The only reason I voted for him was because we’re on the brink of WW3 and I thought he was truly the last hope of getting the wars settled. I’m scared, and I’m sorry, but shit is crazy right now. Trump at least has some relations with Russia and North Korea, that could potentially cool the pot. Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong, I’m open to discussion.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 115 points 2 days ago

It's like people really believe America entered WW2 to fight fascism becaus Americans are innately good....

Large amounts of the country said the same shit this guy is. They wanted to either stay out of it or outright join the nazis.

Especially the wealthy. Prescott Bush was believed to be part of the Business Plot that wanted to overthrow the US government in favor of fascism and doing the Axis powers.

They didn't succeed (mostly because of Pearl Harbor) but his son became head of the CIA, VP, and then president. One of his sons also became president, and almost another one.

If we don't remember what history was really like, we're doomed to keep being surprised when the same shit keeps happening.

This is the average American voter lol. Trump was like the hack that made all their crazy go GOP. Usually there is enough crazy people for both sides

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

I wonder who Trump voted for.

Oh that's right, he's a convicted felon. That would be voter fraud.

Dictators: famous for ending wars. We'll never learn how many wars could have been prevented if only all countries had authoritarian leaders, too bad it's never happened before.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Voter turnout among Democrats this year was 10 million lower than in 2020, while Republican turnout barely changed. Trump won the popular vote by about 3.5 million. TBF it's unknown how many Democrats didn't vote because they were purged off voter rolls, and how many simply refused to participate because Harris didn't satisfy their moral purity standards. But based on the consistent failure by Republicans to win their election restricting lawsuits, my strong guess is that it's those 10 million fuckheads who did this to us. Zero tolerance doesn't work, folks, You don't walk barefoot across broken glass because you didn't like the choices of shoes.
