On Tuesday morning Trump provided another example of his tyrannical tendencies. In a comment posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump issued a decree to the world that he imagines is attentive to his crackpot ravings. He demanded that…
“Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump! Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!”
Oh, man, if he’s elected it’s going to be a nightmare.
Project 2025. Conservatives are planning to kick off a nearly literal fascist dictatorship if Trump wins
Of all the people to rally behind, they picked Mr. Poopy Diaper.
Not nearly, just plain literal.
Weeelll they still haven’t officially declared they want Trump to be Führer for life, so there’s that at least
He’s already a nightmare.
He was a nightmare before he was POTUS.
I still have actual nightmares from him as POTUS.
(I wouldn’t say ptsd, I just have incredibly vivid and weird dreams.)
It’s going to be worse the second time.
I’m aware, yes.
not “he’s” going to be a nightmare. “it”. as in, our lives will be a waking nightmare.
Action helps relieve anxiety. Donate, volunteer or help in any way you can. Above all vote, educate your friends and get them to vote.
He does supply a lot of nightmare fuel…
The nightmare isn’t Trump … the nightmare are the Americans who support and enable this crap.
Once they’re done with the Cheeto Mussolini the same culture of people will move on to the next wannabe fascist.
I’m morbidly curious if they’ll be able to find another golden calf once Trump’s gone. A decent chunk of their base is a cult of personality surrounding him specifically, not the GOP. If we’re lucky, it will fracture them.
This. So much this.
It wasn’t Trump who stormed the Capitol.
It wasn’t Trump who threatened the lives election officials. It wasn’t Trump who swatted jurors.
It was the alt-right.
Yes, but he’s acting as a rallying flag to drive the alt-right together, normalizing their behavior and bringing it out into the open instead of dog whistling.
Without him, they have no lightning rod to travel towards as a coordinated group.
If it were that easy then DeSantis would have been ascendant and he’s not. Ditto Mike Huckabee.
It takes a special kind of charisma to whip up a frenzy like this and Trump definitely has it.
I agree; his movement doesn’t have the ability to sustain itself without him. At the rate he’s clearly publicly deteriorating, we just need him to lose 2024 and I think we’ll be safe from the red hat cultists for a good while.
Also, many of the dimwits that fell for him (and now cannot quit him) think he’s a very rich, smart, and successful businessman, and all because of a bullshit game show he was given. He’s spent literally decades on self-promotion, slapping his stupid name on buildings he had nothing to do with building, failing at casinos, etc…so even before that stupid game show, he was fairly well known.
There are not too many people that fit the bill if he gets the hamberder from heaven.
“Commander in chees-uh chief” – kellyanne conway
And there’s quite a few people here on lemmy trying to make that happen.
I wouldn’t count Russian Bots as people, but yeah, there’s a lot of noise here trying to make sure trump wins.
