Rounding up random brown people, including American citizens and sending them overseas to prison camps?
That's fine.
Raping children for decades?
Perfectly cool.
Cringey blasphemy?
HE CROSSED THE LINE
The mental illness will continue until the empire collapses.
True product of America imo
It's not even the first blasphemy... There's been so much talk and memes from evangelicals basically making him out to be a messiah and he's totally embraced it over and over again.
Calling someone messiah is not a blasphemy tho. However, equaling yourself to God or his Son is a blasphemy. But now that you pointed it out, he was destined to fall for it at some point with his overinflated ego xD
Ngl I never bothered looking up the definition or etymology before despite being hardcore raised christian
Its only when imaginary flying men get involved.
That must be why they hate Obama so much.
Those are things he hasn't tweeted or said or done on video, they are things the people who are dumb enough (all republicans) to have ever been on his side can deny or think isn't as bad etc. This is a specific thing done by him, it's something many of them can't do the mental gymnastics to try to disprove, explain away or angle into something else.
Hey man at least they're a little less out the fog now lol stupid this is what it took but it's progress.
'Murican "christian values" on display for the world to see, lol
They're fucking reptiles.
Frankly, this is making me furious. Even a friend of mine who has hated Trump all along is telling me that this "crosses a new line" for him. I'm having a hard time not snapping at him about this. I will bury the reaction and continue smiling for now because opposing Trump is more important for now.
Fuck these people for real. I hope they find that hell that are so adament about.
And there are millions and millions of people who are allowing their children to be raped and don't do anything about it?
Are the darkies getting raped also?
For shame!
Nothing gets fake Christians upset than someone out fake Christianing them.
Gloriously accurate statement.
Life is full of miracles.
Which isn't even really new information. He's compared himself to Jesus multiple times and blasphemed publicly a few times that I'm aware of.
Well, something about them does make sense. They are all a bunch of scared babies who want a mean daddy to fix all their problems (which are apparently 100% just brown people).
The saddest part to me is that they have been conditioned and misled to this position carefully, methodically, and maliciously over a few decades. If you aren't the type to push back and question what those around you do and say then it becomes your warped reality. It's the same misleading ensnarement used by cult leaders.
This isn't the first one made of him. So it took a few to push people over.
A reminder that it isn't Trump, but the ones who support him that are the problem, and there are so many of them. And even they are also just a symptom of a deeper illness. A self-perpetuating one.
There can be two problems
Yeah but one man being a problem is solved easily by putting that man in prison. A hundred million supporters can't be solved so easily.
There are lots of problems, but some are more dependent on the others, so pick your battles. There are also predicaments. Whether or not the biggest problems are really that is debatable. But have to start somewhere.
Right, you just literally said Trump wasn't a problem, which is quite obviously false. I know what you meant, but it sounded bad.
They want something to be nominally angry about because we all made fun of them for only caring about gas prices. This is cover. I won't assume intentionality where irrationality has always reigned, but the holier-than-thou crowd prefers a spiritual boogeyman to admitting they are just selfish little children.
They're just like the muslim extremists they love to make fun of, one meme of their prophet and they lose their shit
Two sides of the same coin.
I think that they were willing to go along with just about anything, so long as it seemed like he was a path to power. But, from their perspective, he’s committed the ultimate faux pa, he made gas prices go up. So his political agenda is dead in the water with no chance of recovery. This stuff is just the excuse to back away without loosing face.
They are mad but they will still vote red down the ticket.
Don't forget rising gas prices.
Wait, is he raising Jeffrey Epstein from the dead?
(I didn't make this.)
Flood the airwaves with it as if it were the original. No one will check anyway.
That's what propaganda is all about. MAGA has the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and it is mature and effective, and the Dems have nothing to counter it. Doing stuff like this is about all we have at the moment.
One of them already retweeted it
Holy shit, it's perfect!
Just need to replace the eagles with vultures.
Who are the two guys on either side?
The one on the right is Bibi, but the guy on the left I can't place
Looks like Roger Stone
You are stealing the presidents meme
Ahh, I meant to do the Epstein version.
Image seems like he's the false prophet summoning demons at top lol
Oh, so it's Schmuck Schumer.
I spy King Triton with angel wings in the sky above him
I assumed it was Sauron...
Oderus Ungerus
He's bored of bombing children and wants to rape them again.
It looks more like Jon Stewart to me
This is outrageous blasphemy!
So if he ran again, you wouldn't vote for him?
Who's he running against?
A Democrat.
I'd vote for Trump.
Bingo.
He talked about sexually assaulting women. They made him president.
He massively failed his 1st term. They voted for him again.
He became a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. They made him president.
Portraying himself as Jesus Christ is not the line for them. There is no line.
He killed a lot of them during covid by being against social distancing, masks and the vaccine.
There's no low they won't go to support him even if he's directly contributing to their deatth.
You forgot pedophile*
THIS time Trump posting Himself as Jesus is TOO FAR! He BETTER go Back to his NORMAL posting of Himself as Jesus otherwise I'll HOLD MY NOSE when I vote for him AGAIN!
-Free Thinking Constitution Lovers!
If you're really mad, start burning the traitors that lied to you, not just your hats
Do we know if the anti-Christ is aware they are the anti-Christ? Because it seems like trump just accidentally stumbled into embodying that concept so perfectly just by being his normal piece of shit self.
No, the idea of the antichrist knowing is a supposition of them being a servant of the beast. A cultural assumption of Satan's "human servants" having first hand communication like one does with a human boss.

Inasmuch as I could play with the idea of believing in revelations, I would believe that it's less about a "chosen one" antichrist, and moreso an "antichrist candidate" that when someone can fulfill the roll and obtain power; then it's a sign of times incoming. Also, (lego) Brick Bible Revelations is a fascinating interpretation.
I'm glad you posted that link, or I would have. That's the best summation of the Anti-Christ I've seen, and I've posted it many times over the past few years.
I don't believe in any of that bullshit, but if I did, this post would make an enormous impact on me. More Christians need to see it.
I've been looking for this one, because it's the most comprehensive article I've found yet. Thank you for linking it!
Also let's not forget that according to the old testament Satan is just the head of gods legal department.
Thanks for your response. I now have exactly one reason to argue against trump being the anti-Christ (were such a thing to exist).
If only there was some way we could have known what a shitstain dumpy was before they elected him :(. Wishful thinking j guess
What, like several decades of evidence of him being a shit show? Pfft who'd have that? The Internet, major TV networks, and most new York News publications?
If only there signs like that :(
It'd be reeeeaally funny if Trump got smote for blasphemy.
If he falls over of a heartattack in the next day my needle may shift from atheist to agnostic.
I'll put it out there right now: "God? If you're listening, if you send Trump to Hell in the next 24 hours, I promise I will go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life."
And I mean it. I don't believe in any of that nonsense at all, but if that prayer is answered, I'm back on board.
Which church would you go to?
Even if you believe that the only way that Trump could possibly die within the next 24 hours is the act of a god, which god was it? Maybe you're supposed to go to a Hindu temple, maybe it's a Jewish one, maybe it's Ra or Thor.
I'll figure that out IF I have to.
I would literally hit the church, if that happens.
Churches are often made of brick or stone, hitting one bare-knuckle may cause injuries; I suggest you wear boxing gloves.
What a bunch of pathetic rubes. These people view politics as a team sport, and have collectively sensed that the tide is turning on the Trump regime (in no small part due to the same realization made by those like Tucker Carlson and Theo Vaughn, others within their purview). This is just an excuse for them to act out that realization. There is no moral conviction in these people whatsoever.
We need to convince them that winning looks like the green new deal and mass unionization across all labor sectors.
This is what happens when you refuse to think for yourself and just rely on a TV personality to tell you what to believe.
Religion in general has conditioned Americans to operate this way.
What we need to do is convince them never to vote again.
If you were fooled by mango mussolini, you don't have the brains to make good decisions when you vote. Surely you have family or friends who have been warning you about Trump for a decade now. They were right, you were wrong. Take your hands off of the steering wheel and let those more informed people drive.
I'd rather they burned themselves
They'll keep voting republican
It's a part of their identity
It's how they compensate for not having real personalities
Oh so THAT was the line too far? Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
It's not even a line too far.
They absolutely 100% would vote for him again.
These are the believers who stayed with the church after its own child rape scandal.
Truuump gud aht 'conomy.
That's what so many of these dumbfucks said.
Really, he rode the coattails of the black President's economy and then completely bobbled things during Covid. If they think that's doing great on the economy, I just don't know what to say because he completely screwed the pooch on doing the very basics of handling a pandemic.
And the types of assholes that adore him wrote things like The Unhumans and act like they were somehow repressed in 2020 because of Covid.
As in, they think they were especially singled out for whatever fucking reason, as conservatives, by Communists (which they see everywhere) and were punished in some way.
Instead of everyone wresting with how to deal with a goddamn pandemic, FFS. But these people who dumber than a bag of hammers will vote for him again because voting for Democrats is just gay or whatever.
History in 50 years is going to wild for this time period.
Depends who writes it.
Even if American history books are written by Trump cultists, the rest of the world still has historians who are watching.
And if it is trump cultists who write the history books, they'll openly admit to a lot of stuff that only their cult thinks is OK. (And the writing in crayon will be a dead giveaway.)
"We saved those poor little girls from working like their mother's. No longer were they burdened with math and checking accounts" - cultist
Like their mother's what?
The mom's worked.
The mom's worked what?
Either way.
They'll get it right eventually.
"2025-2035: The artificial lack of intelligence paving the way to war"
Optimist over there, you think it's going back to normal? There is no bottom.
I like to remember that America recovered from the robber barons and monopolists of the Guilded Age. It's unfortunate that the thought rides tandem with the fact that it took a major world conflict and America seizing control of the world economy, and the America that emerged was really only great for white people. But maybe modern progressivism is less racist than it was and the next social revolution will be class based instead of race based. A guy can try to hope, a little bit as a treat.
You don't realize tech has changed things. They have total informational awareness, to the point they can turn a mother again their own kids. There is no bottom to this, unless we stop it, which we aren't.
While I agree there is no bottom and never was change will always happen....unless all of humanity die. Especially when you take everything away from someone and they have nothing left to lose. As seen with recent plumber brothers. Problem is nice Chunk of people see this as winning. I always wondered how in 1984 ppl saw their lives. Its soo disappointing and disgusting to see them enjoy themselves in filth like pigs.
They're just looking for an off-ramp as everything implodes as a result of their actions
They're eating the hats ...
Trump really made them eat their words!
Seems like a great way to ruin a grill.
And the self serving cunt will skate away yet again because so many people are scared, of changes, of people who don't look like them, of being told that they had it wrong, that they'll lose their little piece of the whatever they have...
Don't believe these kinds of articles. Anyone who voted for Trump the second time already knew what they were getting.
Trump's base is unquestionably faithful and you still need to be vigilant against them because they aren't going anywhere until Trump dies.
Oh they're mad. They'll tune into Faux News to find out what they should do next and receive their OTA update and be back to normal boot-lickery tomorrow.
I am aware of at least one real instance of this happening. Not the hat burning, but my wife is Facebook friends with an old coworker of hers who is self-identified MAGA. This is his latest post, under the Trump/Jesus picture:
I don't know if this is happening in numbers significant enough for it to matter, but it's one real case.
I live in a purple area. I've seen some homes take down their maga flags. While it doesn't necessarily mean they turned on him, they're at least less enthusiastic. On the other hand, I've also seen homes double down and add more maga flags or the tpusa flag.
Eh.
I don't really care about this whole "they're turning against him" thing. These are stupid, stupid human beings. They'll vote for the next child rapist felon the GOP props up. Because stupid humans make stupid decisions.
That’s what I’m thinking. I think there will be a higher proportion of Maga Catholics who essentially turn at least somewhat away from their faith due to Trump’s actions compared to Maga Catholics who turn away from Trump for those actions.
Can they Jim Jones mass suicide already and just finish this bullshit.
If only. Save us a lot of headaches
That only ends in all of us getting blown up with nukes
Give it a few years.
American "christians" finally realising that supporting him means they aren't really christian
They'll just pretend they never supported him and those who did were not real Christians
A few. I doubt it will make a difference with most of them.
Still voting for him.
And probably buying new hats.
Someday everyone will claim to have always opposed him.
they should be forced to keep those hats glued to their heads.
[Inglorious Bastards intensifies]
I'm sorry but I'm just not going to upvote or support this shitty website.
Probably not enough of them
Many of his supporters have said for a long time that he was sent by God, wonder how many of them were ok with the depiction
They're waiting to be told how to feel about it
I can't wait for the Trump religion. In this timeline it is totally happening.
That's going to last all of 20 minutes, then they'll be licking his wrinkly little raisins like good stooges.
I literally don't believe this happened.
That'll be the day.
Is this satire?
Also, I thought MAGA's official stance on the Pope was that Catholicism was "woke" now lol
Trump will try to move the head of the church to the USA.
Trump wants a holy american empire.
No, his backers want a holy American empire. Trump is an opportunist merely looking for self enrichment.
God forbid Trump take a social media post too far.
Fuck me man that picture is the most glorious shitpost ever
Again? How many hats did they have? More importantly, how many do they still have left?
Less and less. As a thrift shop junkie it’s always interesting to watch how long it takes consumer trends to fizzle and the shelves fill with the must-haves of yesterday year. Currently it’s Baby Yoda, Squishmallows, and MAGA/Trump gear.
It only counts if they were wearing the hats while they were burning, otherwise GTFO.
Image 2, at the top. It's f*cking Baphomet lol. The AI stuck a demon into his picture and one of Trump's minions had to go back and replace it in his follow-up picture. (some folks are saying it's Abbadon but try an image search for Baphomet).
Which image? Also Baphomet isn't a demon.
Baphomet symbolizes balance and knowledge.
The modern The Satanic Temple (TST) uses Baphomet as a symbol of critical thinking and pursuit of scientific knowledge.
If you don't know, the TST is an atheist/agnostic religious order that is , in some ways like the church of the flying spaghetti monster in that it's existence is, in part, to point out problems with religion. And specifically challenge religious laws.
The tst often uses its own doctrine to fight against laws with religious exemptions. Such as abortion bans. As they say it's in their religion to allow women autonomy over such things.
In cities where the 10 commandments have been placed in state buildings and schools (after laws passed to allow religious things to be placed there) then they sue to make sure their religious icons are also placed there or to force the government to ban all religion stuff.
They have a whole network of lawyers. https://thesatanictemple.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoquML54swNBR5BvIh_Hy0fMyBzPagoa2uED70JdVuH78-vXR5Eh
They do good work.
Baphomet is commonly believed to be demonic in folk Christianity. If you want to be really annoyed read LaVey's Infernal Names
Burn baby burn
The stupid MAGA shits would vote for and protect their pedo, felon, rapist and racist loser. They are like the hard core Nazis post WW II.
Trump can't collapse fast enough
I hope he has a stroke and gets locked in syndrome.
Meanwhile, the rest of us need to Burn The Lifeboats
https://driftglass.blogspot.com/2019/06/burn-lifeboats.html
That's a really weird metaphor. It doesn't really make any sense.
There's a well known metaphor about burning your own boats so that you're unable to retreat. But, those aren't lifeboats.
If you're talking about not letting people get rescued, why not "sink the lifeboats"? Setting them on fire would be annoying, but a fire would be easy to put out if the boats are out at sea. There's water all around. The article seems to be more about not allowing people who have abandoned the sinking ship to come on board. So, why not just "ignore the lifeboats". You don't have to approach them and set them on fire. You can just refuse to rescue the people in those lifeboats and leave them floating out at sea.
Your link got censored lol
Censored by what?
Huh maybe it's censored on my instance. Never saw that happen before
I know driftglass has made his enemies, especially among never-trumpers and the MSM, but I doubt it's extended to Lemmy, LOL. Maybe it's a blogspot thing?
Well, it was just a part of the link. I see "drift glass.removed"
Yeah, the domain is blogspot with a dot com. If you search driftglass blogspot and burn the lifeboats, he's written about it (and probably so has his wife, bluegal) and talked about it on their podcast several times over the years in regards to the teabagger movement and the offramps given to Republicans so they can temporarily claim to be "independents", and then go right back to voting Republican.
This blog was from 2019.
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!
Ah. So this is the sort of "content" ChatGPT was trained on...
Republicans owning themselves is the only moral use of AI.
We are this stupid! How did this happen?
Corporate consolidation of media, systematic dismantling of the education system, decades of red-scare rhetoric and crackdowns on left-populism, corporate capture of both parties and the state-funded spread of radical Evangelical churches.
This has been the general plan for decades, ever since the New Deal and Civil Rights movement, to unwind every inch of progress ever made since the abolition of slavery. The Epstein Class will take us all kicking and screaming back into the darkness of unenlightenment, a new dark age of unspeakable horrors.
if only there were millions of people telling the americans how fucking stupid dumpy was. PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN UP!
Means nothing. They’re in the tank for nazis.
It's like watching a bunch of cavemen find out the hard way that fire is hot.
AI Jesus?
His supporters caring wasn't on my bingo card, even if it's a minority.
I am the chosen one
cookie hell.
Is that the one where they still rot in hell but they get cookies from time to time?
Isn't that the one we're in right now? /s
