I'm so goddamn sick of this fat, orange, narcissistic asshole and I will celebrate when he dies

I pick up the newspaper and everyday there’s a new horrible story about him that’s somehow become trite since all this oaf does is disparage other, loaf about, and take what he can from others to engorge himself. He’s ruining this country in every way, shape, and form but somehow he has millions of cult followers. He’s above any punishment yet forces us to suffer his existence like some sort of sick, kafkaesque joke. This absolute piece of shit has no redeeming qualities and yet we let him keep breathing air. It’s impossible to scroll online without seeing his gross orange face pop up on screen. I swear if I hear him say “I hate Mondays” or “I love lasagna” one more time I am going to lose it. Save us from this Garfieldian agony.

This is my prepared bottles of rum, dedicated to when I no longer needs to share a planet with these bastards

Currently I have bottles for:

Trump, Putin, Musk, Murdoch and Orban.

The last one is what has been declared "The bottle of the unknown bad guy", it is meant for when I find out about a person dying and my immediate feeling is "Good riddance".

Vance is a sock puppet.

You celebrate main perpetrators and orchestrators not the goons.

I was just calling out Vance since he might well be WAY worse than trump if given the chance and the heritage foundation as driver in the back; the tech bros as people helping them since they see goals align.

I think this is a misunderstanding.

None of this comment is particularly targeted at you.

Top tip, see if you can get a present box like this, with the printed ribbons it looks really professional.

To print the ribbons I used a Brother label maker with cloth bands you can print on.

One mistake I made was using a sans serif font, a proper serif font like Times New Roman would have looked way classies

I read it all and it doesn’t make sense. Garfield really doesn’t fit most of the things said, like he isn’t online all the time, isn’t ruining America, etc.

I guess that makes it a shit post.

33

"Isn't running America" jfc millions of dollars was spent for a sick slow-rolling display of his delusions of prowess in Kennywood. He got his own prime-time TV show. His fame and existence is a testament to the gullibility of the USA population.

lemmy.world

But you can find Garfield online at literally any time? Go check for yourself!

And it's subjective, but Garfield is definitely ruining America, in my view?

Fucking weak John.

While you're not wrong that Trump is just a puppet for a number of masters in various hierarchies, there's one key attribute he has that makes him indispensable - the cult he managed to build.

With him gone, do you really think that any of the current replacements being fostered could actually get anywhere with MAGA? Do you think that any of the people in question, let it be one of the Trump kids or JD Vance or quite literally anyone from his inner circles, replace him as the cult leader?

Trump is uniquely positioned as both the executor of the will of this cabal, and the cult leader of the morons. With him gone, the cabal will be hard pressed to push for another candidate who can move even remotely as many voters as the orange turdsack did.

With Trump gone, so will be the MAGA movement, and said cabal will be back to, well, not square one, but it will be a major setback until they can find another mascot who can charisma the moron third into voting against their own interest.

And that gap, that few years will allow for a crucial thing: "re-education". With Trump gone, the MAGA followers will be able to re-evaluate their stances more freely, with reduced effects from e.g. sunk cost fallacy, and can be taught to recognise populism and how it actually negatively affects them by preying on their weaknesses.

You’re replying to my comment when it’s incredibly obvious you do not look at the attached video or read the whole original post. Pretty sure you’re either a high-effort troll or a bot. 2.3 year old account with one post then nothing for 2 years, then several comments.

Edit: see below

apologies, the video wouldn't load so I presumed it was one of the in-depth rants about how Trump is just a symptom and how others are in control.

I also seriously misread the OOP, but in my defense it was 3am and I've been running on 2-3hr of sleep a day for a while now.

And yes, my account was inactive for a while as the federated Reddit alternatives haven't been teeming with much content or discourse when I original joined, and a recent Reddit ban that nuked all my alts was the trigger to continue moving back here. Alas not a bot and I've been using this nickname for the better part of the past ~25 years.

I was told there's an English lord who was so reviled that when he died they rolled a massive rock onto his grave lest he ever rise again (rumors that he dabbled in magic might have informed the decision).

That would be appropriate for Trump. Or similarly, bury him in a deep geologic repository (where we put our vitrified spent fissile fuel beneath signs warning THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR ) as a reminder of how we never want another person like him to exist.

Well then he better not die during his term or under a GOP admin, because if people lost their jobs over Kirk, I can't even imagine what would happen to you if you celebrated the death of their dear leader.

2

I'm self-employed, so nobody can fire me but me, and my boss' politics are the same as mine.

In fact, I won't hire MAGAs, and if I ever found out that one of my employees was MAGA, they'd be fired immediately. I won't tolerate such low character around me, my business, or my other employees. There's no telling what a person that stupid and mean will do.

Joking aside, I do always celebrate when Republicans die. I’m basically exactly the type of person they pretend is the average leftist, even though 90% (or more) of folks are normal and don’t wish death on their enemies.

An American visits the front page of a popular news site, then closes it after a quick glance. They do this everyday, never reading any of the articles.

One day, the site recognized that the same browser fingerprint has been doing this several times, so the site sent a popup to that user's webpage (the website have not gotten paid by the advertisement companies because the webpage was closed too quickly for the view to be counted), asking the user why they only look at it for 5 seconds, they reply: "I'm waiting for a news article about a certain event that would become nationwide news on the frontpage and celebrated by about half of the population, but I'm not gonna eleborate on what I mean, due to potential legal troubles, also how the fuck did you track my browsing?"

(Its a modern variant of the Soviet Newspaper joke)

The thing is, dark money and Russian disinformation have installed a political machine in place that Trump is just the face of. As the face of this he has disturbed institutions of government and American life, as well as globally, which I think will take years to repair. It's a global far right power grab, so even if he does die, there's still a lot to fix.

However it's his peculiar charisma that for whatever reason these people respond to in ways that they don't to traditional dyed in the wool Republicans like Romney or McCain that is why they've been so successful, and when he dies finding a replacement for him will be difficult for them. The journalist Maggie Haberman says the way he will go into a room of these people and charm everyone in there is genius, really, even though his terrible personality is what his campaign was based on, really. He makes them laugh, my Canadian coworker who isn't in any way a MAGA still likes him because he makes her laugh, which makes no sense because he's not funny, but it's the shock of him openly being what all of them really are underneath, racist and hateful and bigoted, that seems funny, I think anyway. His weird appeal probably can't be replicated by anyone else.

So in my opinion him dying will have a major impact on the success of this political monstrous machine they've created, without question, but they've wrecked a lot of things along the way that will take a lot to restore, and my guess is that the Democrats will just let some things stay as they are.

7

Here's a little something else to think of. The government is shut down, so the purse strings are closed. And yet, a private "donation" is being given to the military. By a man who apparently has a problem with Venezuela. At the same time the world's most powerful warship, along with its associated battle group, has been pulled out of Europe to go play drug cop in the Caribbean Sea.

When Donny dies it will be the 2nd Independence Day for this country, or at least “most” of it.

Only if it's from natural causes. In case you hadn't figured it out sooner, he'd otherwise become a martyr. You think the Charlie Kirk stupidity is bad? Imagine how bad it world be if the cult's object of worship was popped. Such a martyrdom would give the cult something to rally around after his end. If he dies naturally, however, the cult is FAR more likely to descend into infighting with a side of conspiracy theory, and tear itself apart as all the horrible people tried to scramble for whatever they could get by stomping on each other. Cults are complex monsters but have ways to survive the death of their leaders.

5
lemmy.world

Ehh. Whichever way he goes, there's always going to be a "JD had him killed" conspiracy theory.

6
lemmy.world

Yeah, all the morons were celebrating Kirks death. Making memes and videos and some even calling for the rest of his family to be murdered as well. Even his kids!!! And what happened? His popularity went through the roof. He was just some name before. A talking head that you heard about had said something dumb every now and again. Now everyone knows who he is, and worse those on the right are all singing his praises and turning point USA exploded with millions in donations and over 100,000 requests to start new chapters.

When that dude did take shot at Trump, it only energized and emboldened MAGA and conservatives in general. Contributions, voter turnout, volunteers, all increased dramatically. And, we then had to have that fucking photo plastered everyone afterwards of "triumphant" fist bump right after.

People celebrate this shit, but fuck me, its the worst fucking thing you can do. And history shows this. When MLK was killed, same thing happened. Support for his cause went through the roof. Doing the very opposite of what his killers would have wanted. Gandhi, Harari, Biko, Malcolm X, Kennedy, and many, many more, all killed hoping to achieve one goal, but ending up strengthening the resolve of those they hoped to intimidate or control. Hell, even Caesar's assassination over 2000 years ago proves this point. They killed him to save the Republic, and in doing so, destroyed the Republic and The Empire was born.

History is clear, just leave people to fuck up on their own. Killing them rarely works.

4

It only really works if someone had the foresight and gumption to do it before they can really get moving, in the early stages of their trajectory. Trying to predict it, though, is difficult and rarely worth it, since you can't usually predict the ones who will really be a huge problem later. But once you miss that window it's too late. And of course it's when it's too late that more people realize what's happening.

1

I have no doubt whatsoever his cult is eager to dox and attempt to have fired ANYONE who celebrates the shitbag's passing under any circumstances

2

I'll be glad when he is no longer in power. I'm equally afraid of who will succeed him. Could our angry Americans please use their anger to change the absolutely insane system by which a president is elected and then invest wholesale in education? That's just two examples I could think of off the top of my head. What's good about getting rid of the orange only to fall into a fruit salad?

remember when thatcher died and "the witch is dead" popped up in the charts? when donald dies his gravestone better be non stick and have a handle for flushing.

I think that’s a key of all this, the realization that the misery doesn’t end with Trump. If he fell off the face of the earth tomorrow, there would be a power vacuum while his previous sycophants vied to be a replacement but likely none of them have the control over the base that he had. Someone worse will rise up that no one saw coming.

No, I hope he gets very old and can serve all jail he gets in dark seclusion. With speakers on the walls that play very loud facts about his evilness.

If his face is on a website article, I spin past it ASAP to get to the text. Same for those bitches with Mar-a-Lago face. Pete Hegseth is seriously handsome and stylish, still can't look at the man. What we really need is more pale blondes with tiny gold cross chains.

I'm not sure if it's hate or rage. Disgust doesn't seem a strong enough word. I think you're describing the visceral nausea I feel looking at all these fascists.

Listening to him is all but impossible, but I think proponents and opponents alike would learn much. Both sorts pick out what they like or don't like, believe or don't believe, but listening to him roll for awhile is a completely different experience than reading quips.

So what could we learn? We could learn just how advanced his dementia really is. Which makes it weird to hear, from either camp, about what Trump wants or is trying to do. The man has an extreme case of narcissistic personality disorder and doctors are guessing he has frontotemporal dementia (Stage 6 is my bet.) Those two items explain everything one needs to know about his motivations.

His address to the generals and the following UN speech were horrifying. He was bad off in the first term, kinda like a senile uncle you can laugh about when you get home, but I've been saying he started slipping off the cliff around 2021-2022. Now he's close to complete free fall.

People here will say, "I KNOW how bad he is!" If all you've seen is short clips or read short transcripts, you don't really understand. My head is spinning that no one is putting this issue into the spotlight. We have an egomaniacal dementia patient in the Oval Office. Is there anything more important to address?! Anyway, <\end_tangent>

Much like how Trump's second term makes us wish for the innocence of his first term, what comes after Trump will be worse. Nothing ever gets better. All things deteriorate until they break and are replaced.

Even though things are worse than they have ever been, America today is the best it's ever going to be again. When the history books are written about this era we will see the 2020's as America's second great antebellum.

Is it not cause to celebrate that the figurehead of one's source of ire is eliminated?

Like, let's pretend for a moment he isn't human, not because he's a disgusting vampire but because for this analogy he can't be.

So like, let's pretend for a moment that 10 years ago a robot, who's programming is visible to the whole public, was elected to office. That robot has one goal, increase the GDP. Nevermind that GDP is a bad metric, nevermind that no intelligent programmer would design such a machine this machine was not borne of intelligence, it was borne of the desire to raise the GDP.

Ok, so President Robot decides the very first thing we need to do to raise the GDP, is start deporting anyone that doesn't look like president Robot's programmed self image, something like this 🎃. If your smile isn't creepy enough, and you don't have enough ridges on your head, president robot says you're up next for deportation. Nevermind that you've been here your whole life, nevermind that your parent's came here 40 years ago. You don't have ridges and a creepy smile, get on the plane. Dont like it? Ok protest.

So, its been 8 years, president Robot's team of robots managed to change the metrics by which it is determined who becomes the next leader. This was of course, done quietly and accross many places. President Robot's team is thorough of course, and has managed to make the new minimum threshold to take office only around 45%, that's WAY less than what they needed before. So now, president Robot can be re-elected using only the robots made to keep president robot in power instead of needing real people who need to be convinced because they have "needs" and "families" and "rent to pay".

So when president robot suddenly, after years of the whole country saying "You're neglecting president Robot's maintenance" finally seizes up and can't pump oil through it's clogged cooling and lubrication system, I'm sure people will celebrate. NOT because the Robot is dead. NOT because they hate the robot. But because the Robot can't hurt them anymore.

This Hyperbole brought to you by the side of my bathtub

In 44BC, Roman senators killed Caesar in order to save the Republic. The outcome was that death destroyed the Republic. The chaos it caused led to the rise of Augustus, and the birth of the empire.

In 1584, William the Silent was assassinated by a Spanish Catholic Loyalist hoping that his death would put an end to the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. It didnt. Instead it unified the Dutch, and accelerated the creation of the Dutch Republic.

In 1865, John Booth killed Lincoln, thinking his death would weaken the support for, and the resolve of the Union. It didnt. Support grew and the resolve strengthened and ensured that the Union was the only way forward for the US.

In 1948, A Hindu nationalist killed Gandhi to stop his influence and pro Muslim stance. Instead his death unified India across religious lines and discredited Hindu nationalism for decades afterwards.

In 1965, the Nation of Islam murdered Malcolm X, intending to silence him and stop his growing influence. Instead, he grew even more popular and his influence reached around the world and reshaped how racial justice was understood.

In 1968, racists looking to destroy the civil rights movement killed Martin Luther King. Instead, the support for civil rights went through the roof, and lead to the passing of the Fair Housing Act just days later, which solidified Kings legacy.

In 1977, Apartheid supporting Police officers murder Steve Biko. Their goal was to destroy the Black Consciousness Movement. Instead, his death drew international attention and anti apartheid support gained global reach and Biko became a symbol of resistance.

Theres loads of examples, all through out history of dumb cunts killing people to shut them up, kill their movement, or other wise influence history. And almost, if not every time, their desired outcomes have not come about. Killing Kirk, did the same thing. His influence and legacy only grew. Millions in donations, and over 100k requests to start charters for Turning Point USA.

If you want to kill the message, then kill the message. But killing the messenger is dumb as all fuck. You can debate a live person, shut them up with facts and speech. You cant do shit to martyr.

To many, something like that does look like self defense right about now. Unfortunately the situation appears quite dire from within, I'm afraid someone will do something and make things worse with martyrization. I can't say I won't celebrate when I hear the news that his McDonalds encrusted veins couldn't do the job anymore and he keeled over in the night (because I'm almost certain that's how its going to happen)
