I understand the plan now. America was great when it didn't exist

I thought he wanted to be a king, what a dumb dumb.

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Might be easiest to join a ready made monarchy in that case. All you have to do then is claw your way through the ranks til you reach the throne. No need to change the constitution. :)

Lmfao what?

Actually, you know what, that’s a great idea orangeboi. Let’s go for it.

To the Brits: considering this is basically us coming back to you hat in hand, I think it’d be quite reasonable to exact some sort of penance from us. Perhaps we could surrender our President to the King’s tender mercies? Hell, you can just take the whole Republican Party if you want to make some old-school object-examples of what the appropriate treatment of fascists is.

When I read it earlier I burst out laughing

Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we'll consider it.

I will find a way to supply you with tea thoroughly for the rest of your natural life if you take that orange fuck off our hands

What is even happening

Am I the only one who things this is way more insane than 2016-2020? He did tell people to drink bleach but that is borderline stable.

I have no fucking idea what to make of this

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 15 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I'm beginning to think he's a bit enamoured with class, Sir Keir seemed to come out of his meeting with Trump relatively unscathed too. Almost like he sees posh people as his social superiors?

He is the poor man's idea of a rich man.
He is a weak man's idea of a strong man.
He is the failure's idea of success.

He is delusion made manifest.

Thanks, I know I stole most of it from somewhere years ago.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

He wants to be seen as classy and powerful so bad. Hence his overt placation of dictataors and the generationally wealthy. It's so pathetic.

[–] Jakule17@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago

The French are already asking for the statue of liberty back, so it’s only right if he does that

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No taxation without representation, but in reverse.

I mean it's logical.

We go from destroying Nazis to employing Nazis. And we did that after destroying ties to an overreaching monarchy, so let's get it all tied tight again, right? Full circle.

Next stop is giving back land to the natives?

They already wasted the tea. There is no way to unwaste the tea.

Is that how we'll annex Canada? Get the crown to hand it over as dowry for our reentry to the Old Dominion?

I've seen this move. This is what I do in CK3 when my economy is about to crumble

Wait a minute. If we do that, he can’t punish Canada. Then again he’s stupid. 🤷‍♀️

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

He's just shitting in the punchbowl, ignore him and hell play himself out.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

you know what? fuck you *unrevolutionizes your america*

I don't think USians should fight this.

As pear shaped as the UK may be at the moment, it must be better off than all the nonsense in the US. Though there really is nothing in it for the Commonwealth, in any event.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 19 hours ago

We have come full circle.
