I was scrolling on Lemmy and I saw at least 5 Trump mug shot posts. It’s just annoying at this point.

    I get not wanting to see it everywhere but you also have to understand that this is really world news. This is a central figure in American politics that is actually going to trial for an attempt to overthrow American democracy.

    This is a historical moment that will probably be talked about for decades regardless of which direction it goes.

          As another American I have been sick of his stupid name and face since 2015 myself and if there was someone to beg for the madness to end, I would too. Problem is it isn’t just Jimmy Kimmel, the entire world can’t stop talking about him for one day.

          Also “it’s a historic event” applies to this one, sure, it doesn’t apply to things like “lol he’s got tiny hands” which A) Are funny once not 30k times, and B) Isn’t “a historic event” that would necessitate I see his face. Sure I get why every single lemming is obligated to work in the trump post mines to keep it going but you also have to realize not everyone wants it to keep going.
