PW;DR
Power Word: Didn’t Read. The mightiest spell on the Internet.
Can you explain what that means?
Paywall, couldn’t read
LMFAO I thought Power Word didn’t read lol Like it used a word you know is going to be a problem
Jon getting serious is kinda scary and rightfully so. He’s worried like the rest of us but likely has a better idea of what’s coming should Trump win. He’s a smart dude.
The thing that really bugs me is that Trump has told everyone exactly what he’s going to do, but no one seems interested.
He’s been very clear that he’s not going to concede, and that he has legal challenges ready to go. The election isn’t going to be won or lost on votes in swing states, but who can provide the most pressure on officials in those setting states.
I have this sinking feeling that he’s going to be declared winner through corruption and manipulation, the dems will say “oh well fiddlesticks”, and the western world will start matching towards fascism.
As in, Kamala is talking about medical records and Trump is planning insurrection.
Just like the investigation into Russian interference, and all Trumps legal stuff. “Yeah well he’s guilty as sin but you know - what are you gonna do”.
“When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”
the western world will start matching towards fascism.
Continue marching, you mean? That ship sailed years ago.
As we all fucking should.
👆💯👆
And he’s quite right to point out that the media loves obsessing over the dumb shit (like Palmer’s penis and McDonald’s) and spends far less time running down real shit.
I respect that he points out that stuff too, but… Supply and demand, right?
Supply and demand has no place in serious journalism - that should be the domain of tabloids.
I agree with you about how it should be. I was merely pointing out how it is.
Yeah, it’s the media, not websites like Reddit or Lemmy, that obsess over menial things like “Trump did a campaign thing at a McDonalds!!! This CANNOT stand!!!”
Totally not you guys. It’s always “the other”! It’s never because YOU only engage in meaningless shit. It’s never because YOU give those stories clicks because it makes you feel better about yourself. It’s “the media” that are doing these things!
Brilliant observation. Everyone says to “be better,” but forgets that applies to themselves.
We’re just everyday people talking in a room, audience maybe 1000. Broadcast news, is broadcast literally everywhere. The onus is definitely on them to shift the narrative up
“you guys”
Lul you’re posting this on Lemmy…
I guess you’re the only person on the Internet that is not whatever you’re accusing everyone else of.
Well of course he is… him and his kind are the first ones to be round up in the camps-I mean… the voter fraud testing center and family firing range.
Anyone see #UNTRUTH - the Psychology of Trumpism?
The US is fucked. There is no way this gets better. Trump has already clearly communicated his intent to become a dictator. And no one is taking it seriously. He’s talking about using the armed forces to take out his political opponents.
His opposition is still thinking this can be solved in a democratic and and civil way.
If Trump wins it’s over for you and it will have devastating effects on the rest of the world. I hope you understand this.
The US is fucked.
Yes, I agree, and it makes me very sad. The US has been very good for me personally, I get movies, music, technology, relative stability in the world, and so on from the US. I just feel sad for the poor saps who have to live there.
But now, we can’t count on the US being the top political power in the world anymore. So now the EU really has to step up, because we don’t want China or Russia to become the new #1.
The Orange Turd is coming for anyone that stands against him.
“Don’t die for your beliefs. Make a fascist die for theirs.” - someone on here
Its a cute slogan, but all the trigger-pullers appear to be hanging out on the Demolition Ranch Discord.
SRA describes the goal of their organization as “to provide an alternative to the mainstream, toxic, right-wing, and non-inclusive gun culture that has dominated the firearms community for decades. We seek to provide a safe, inclusive, and left-leaning platform for talking about gun rights and self defense, free from racist and reactionary prejudices, while providing a platform for the working class to obtain the skills necessary for all aspects of community defense.”[25] The group describes itself as “working class, progressive, anarchist, socialist, communist, eco-warrior, animal liberator, anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, PoC, LGBTQ-plus.”
Wow! There’s a whole bunch of people I’m friends with that I didn’t even know about.
I’m about as left as they come, and I’m armed. You go far left enough, and you get your guns back.
Owning a gun is a very different thing than using it.
It’s a weird line to walk, but my socialist rifle club is an awesome group of friends.
There’s a demolition ranch discord? I bet that thing glows so hard I wouldn’t even needy phones flashlight. Do you have a link?
i recommend searching:
“jon stewart on crossfire”
“jon stewart on 60 minutes 2004”
Oof, suggesting that the “absurdity” of the Bush administration would never be topped didn’t age well
Yeah a classic. For additional context, Crossfire was cancelled about a week after that and Tucker Carlson never wore a bowtie again.
We need to get Tucker back in to a studio with him to get roasted over his slack-jaw stare and fascist tendencies.
I mean, yeah. He’s literally threatening to kill us all.
Don’t exaggerate. We dont know that he intends to kill us. Maybe the National Guard is only meant to maim or seriously injured us.
Forgot the /s at the end
I didn’t think it was needed. I implied that it was acceptable to maim political rivals, myself included. And I used a quote from Dobby the house elf to do it. Thought the joke was apparent.
You’re right - I must have forgot this was on Lemmy. If we were on FB or something like that then not everyone would get the implied /s - but fediverse users are quite a bit better in this regard.
A fully armed batalion to remind us of his love nonetheless.
When we should start to worry? When it’s too late?
Young, I couldn’t comprehend how Hitler was elected, disgraced then could come back and how the people let that happening.
Decades later, i really understand: complacency.
Someone bringing the presidency position just casually say in front of the press that he want to hurt its opponent… In public.
Imagine what he say in private, with all his yes men and psycho writer of project 2025 for example… And we know it’s not an accident, he reference hitler more than once… He is in admiration with dictators… he want to be one of them…
Yeah, please “don’t exaggerate”.
Don’t learn from the history. You’re lucky he is also stupid and old…
My comment was meant to be sarcasm. I have to laugh lest I go insane.
Ho, sorry for my reaction
I see so many people not grasping how serious the situation is (or just saying: he’s jockiiiing) that my blood boil. Also because last summer, I saw my grandmother cry while she was remembering how she lost her sister during the first days of the WWII (killed in her house due to the bombing of the train station nearby). She was 5~6 yo and her sister 10yo. All of that because people didn’t react strongly enough to stop a party and a crazy man.
Good luck for the election
And it’s not all either. He’s only going to
killmaim the Democrats. And black people. And brown people. And LGBT people. And women. And non-Christians. So, you know, as long as you’re not in one of those groups, you’ll be totally fine. For now. But maybe don’t get too comfortable.So, just more than half the country, at least at first.
Not women, republicans need them to cook, clean and produce children.
As long as they aren’t too mouthy and don’t get any ideas about autonomy. So, things like driving, having a credit card or a bank account…nah. And birth control or abortion? Don’t make me laugh.
Only the pink-haired ones, the feminists, trans-women, those with terminally complicated pregnancies, the victims of abusive husbands beating them to death, those seeking medical treatment they can’t afford…
So long as you’re healthy or wealthy, submissive and breedable, mindful and demure and all the other misogynistic ideas we make fun of because they shouldn’t be real and serious, you’ll be fine.
Just not all at once
This is the story that we need to be focusing on until election day. None of the other stunts matter. If anything this post should be pinned. We should keep our eye on the ball even if the media won’t.
Trump threatened to send the military and the national guard after people on the left and Democratic politicians. This is blatant and open fascism. In any other election Trump being openly fascist would be the October surprise. Everyone needs to see this.
He’s not even phrasing it as a threat, for him it’s just an “obvious solution” to a problem he made up. He doesn’t even see it as something serious so he doesn’t threaten us with it.
Which makes what he is saying even more scary. Imagine what is he NOT saying and that he thinks would be a threat? Fuck, as someone on the other side of the pond I hoped I could show my support to my fellow Americans but this will fuck us all in the end.
To paraphrase Trump, he said if elected, he will send the military and national guard after his political and ideological opponents.
That’s a threat. It’s phrased as a threat. The fact he’s says it calmly doesn’t matter. This is what fascists do. They identify an out group. They stir up public fear and resentment against the out group. They make promises to their supports, in the form of threats of violence against the out group, to get rid of the out group. Then historically speaking they make good on their threats to the best of their ability once they take power.
When fascists run out of the current out group they just find another way to divide the population and pick a new out group. As long as fascists want to cling to power they need an enemy. What Trump isn’t telling us is the next out group he hasn’t picked yet because he doesn’t plan that far ahead. The Haitian immigrant conspiracy was a spur of the moment thing that other people had previously come up with and told him about on the plane ride to the debate. If he ever needs a new group to fearmonger about he’ll just ask other fascists for ideas. edit: typos
I disagree with you that he phrased it as a threat but I’m not in the mood to argue semantics
We’re 100% in agreement that this shit is scary af
Trump, the whining tiny-penised cunt who nobody likes because of how brittle his bones are, has threatened to round up his critics into camps?
Honest question: Do you think the military would obey his orders?
I know the ICE (immigration and customs enforcement) had no problems in doing so, but the military seems to consist of a more varied bunch of people, more patriotic than racist kind of guys, or is that fiction?
They’d use border patrol
Trump is already planning on replacing everyone in the federal administrative state with loyalists. If the military doesn’t follow his orders he will keep replacing people in the military until they do.
The real question is will the military do anything to stop Trump? Let’s not put ourselves in the position of needing to rally around General Brown in a civil war. Let’s vote for Kamala and call Trump weird.
Literally 1933
Signed, a scared-as-fuck German
Oh, the guy that floated ingredient-to-bread ratio being more important than the election?
Get the fuck outta here.
Edit: This was the damn promo for his, then new, The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart podcast. I don’t have a sense of humor about trivializing this shit.
Bruh
Are you unfamiliar with the concept of humor?
We’ll see how funny it is in 13 days.
I know this is all very stressful, but you do need to calm down.
Just reading the article he doesn’t seem to be trivialising, rather the opposite. He more or less says this is something we should be paying attention to.
No kidding. Trump will definitely be coming after him.
