It'll be remarkable if he doesn't get assassinated in the next few years.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 133 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

He and Elon should keep making public appearances together.

Elon Musk’s next public appearance:

Trump is going to start wearing Baron as a hat next, following in Elon's footsteps.

That's a terrible awful thing, don't give people ideas. Don't keep posting that everywhere and getting it in people's heads. Don't remind people that there is so few billionaires compared to common folks that it would be almost trivial to accomplish with large majority support

That's why they constantly surround themselves with children.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

At some point people won't care anymore, plenty of children were killed because they were part of the royal family of their country.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

Or , you know, shot in school.

Problem is, it won't be someone trying to restore democracy. It'll be someone else trying to take the throne.

Yaa like Trump has ever been on or near public transit. He doesn't believe in it either

America is wild man. You’ve got a dictator doing what ever he wants and then you’ve got states suing, I don’t even know who they’re suing (Trump?), judges blocking orders and stuff.

So is it time for 1788 France now?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 64 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Okay... so in less than a day, any plausible deniability that Trump thinks himself the dictator of the USA has completely evaporated.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 30 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s been every day since well before he was elected.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago

There was a lot of humming and hawing about what Trump "really meant" about "dictator for a day".

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He already said that's what he wanted. He said it before voting even happened. There was no reason to doubt that's what he wanted.

Great, so the Cheeto declared himself King now. I'm trying to remember what people did to resolve the problems with kings in the past...

Something in French.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 47 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Fun Fact: The Roman Republic viewed regicide as a virtue. As I understand it, "he was trying to become king" was grounds for a justifiable homicide defense.

Idk how they can do that. It's a state issue

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Limiting interstate travel, is the argument I’m hearing. The tolls are (currently) being taken at the borders into other states, is what they’re saying.

Is there a reason conservatives dislike congestion pricing other than spite?

Gods, they're just the worst fucking people.

[–] 2pt_perversion@lemmy.world 50 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Same reason congestion pricing is hated everywhere until it's implemented and people start seeing the benefits, people are cheap. Coincidentally also the reason congestion pricing works so well at regulating demand for a road and improving conditions.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 51 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The stupidest part to me is that toll roads work this way and are wildly popular with conservatives. They're just angry it's a public thing and that it's for public transportation support and not to make some private company money.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're just angry it's a public thing [...] and not to make some private company money.

This is always the case

Thing is…this is just another toll. It bills you the same as all the other tolls in the city. They just gave it a different name. That’s it. In the first days, people were bitching because they took the trains and the busses, but everyone who isn’t an asshole (those of us who don’t drive) didn’t even realize it took effect and everyone was like “woah, what’s going on? Is it a holiday? It was so quiet on my way to work. It was awesome.”

But these motherfuckers

[–] spidermanchild@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Cars checks all the boxes to them - helps with segregation, creates demand for oil, multiple vectors for environmental destruction, weird nostalgia and culture war fodder, another subsidy for rural/suburban voters, and it's the embodiment of not giving a shit about anyone else's and being a big boy. But yeah each of the individual factors boils down to spite.

I know that there were a significant amount of people that voted republican because of the lies that were told saying he'd fix the economy. Shit like this is something only the hardcore Republicans wanted. They are always boasting about winning, but if we had an election after all this shit came out I'm almost positive Trump would lose by a landslide. We're already seeing some Republicans getting their faces eaten and are questioning their loyalty.

Basically what I'm saying is that I'm pretty sure the majority of the US does not want this. And I'm sure there are plenty within MAGA that are shitting themselves right now as they sit there afraid for their lives to go against any of this. Especially those that aren't straight white men.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven't been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That's not to say we should blame voters. That's to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don't prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.

History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.

posted on that other site that's just in it for stock market manipulation, there's a teeny tiny chance i might have written it off as a very, very bad joke.

but this was from the white house account on the x(sh)itter.

he absolutely believes that he is untouchable. this statement he posted is a challenge, a dare, for anyone and everyone to take a shot (figuratively or not) at challenging his declared ultimate authority.

We need to appropriate this image and post it every time an airplane crashes or eggs go up 0.25.

Every time they fire a critical public safety team then scramble to try to rehire them.

This needs to be our image now.
