Why are we giving a fuck about this guy?
internet and tv rotted peoples brains, been that way for about 10-15 years now. people cant help themselves
Because he is taking the helm of the most dangerous country of the West
the world in 2025 is multitudes more dangerous and volatile than the world the last time he was here. thats the issue.
We've seen an outbreak of inter-state war unlike anything since the 40s and 50s. With Russia and Ukraine And the rest of Europe, its the biggest state vs state conflict since Iran-Iraq in the 80s. and there are conflicts flaring up all over the world. Israel is going on a spree of settling every grudge they ever had, Syria as fallen, China is making final preparations for Taiwan, Azerbaijan looks like its going to invade Armenia, War is the hot topic of the 2020s.
Trump is an isolationist, if the world is going down in flames, he thinks it's not unreasonable to suggest consolidating control over North America, just cuz.
And we know exactly what he is about. They're just fueling the facist fire. There is a point where it becomes just more propoganda and that has happened long ago. This article has come up in CBC at least 3 times in the past several weeks.
If I was a CBC editor, I would tone it down, yes. If that's what you meant, then I agree that we don't have to platform every little media bait he tweets. But here's Lemmy, there's no editorial.
Because, believe it or not, we can't just toss these statements like they don't matter. The leader of a world superpower, both military and economically, is threatening our sovereignty.
No he isn't. He is directing our political choices as he does, with statements that enrage and divide.
Edit: and it's obviously working.
