I've believed it before he ever became President.

He practically bellowed it from the rooftops with his praise of foreign dictators, which he did even before he was President of the USA.

You could tell how much he relished being the "boss" who could fire anyone on The Apprentice. He gets off on the whole idea of complete control.

He has always been depraved and acted as rules don't apply to him. He's been a poster boy for fascism his whole life while flouting the fucking legal system.

The problem isn’t with people not believing him. The problem is with people wanting that, thinking it’s the answer and some kind of good thing. It’s terrifying.

If someone is stupid enough to not see it at this point they never will.

[–] Travalanche@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

They will, they will just blame any/everyone else though.

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Yep. Water is still wet. Got it.

[–] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Okay, I believe him, now what do I do?

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let me consult the textbook about how to deal with fascists, ahhh here we are, I believe the the correct response is punching them in the face until death.

[–] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Right well...I can't get to him, I'm not good at punching, while they seem to struggle putting him in prison they would never struggle to put me in prison cause I don't have that kinda dosh, and like could you imagine the martyrdom of Trump was assassinated by a trans woman. It would set our fight for rights back years.

But in an ideal world yes, of course in an ideal world it never would have gotten this far.

He's always been a fascist. What's the media's excuse for giving him so much attention when it was clear from the moment he rolled down that escalator. Also, find me a narcissistic politician that isn't a fascist?

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Why are we still reading about this asshole?

[–] Xmrpkerx2@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

He is still leading or at least doing very well in the polls for the 2024 presidential race.

[–] clutchmatic@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

And how come he is still among the ones who breathe?
