    For every N persons he can lie about saying this, I have seen N+1 persons saying they’d like him to get the hamberder from heaven.

    I’m just going to say it…

    Did anyone not expect this? Like… Of the people on Lemmy, is anyone here surprised that he is pushing to be a dictator?

    Oh, also, Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. Donald Trump raped children.

    “A lot of people are saying” is Trumps version of Christians saying “God says I’m right.” With Christians, they are the only ones who get to speak for God, who agrees with them on everything, and anyone saying otherwise is lying. With Trump, the “lot of people” are never people you can directly question or challenge. He’s making it up, saying he has a consensus but cant prove it.

    A lot of people are saying Luigi Mangione did a horrible thing for the best fucking reason and was totally justified in doing so.

    A lot of people want a dictator….yea, not quite as believable.

      He raped children, I am in no way, shape, or form disputing this.

      But this is not a distraction. It was in Project 2025, he has talked about it for years. He wants to be a dictator. He isn’t trying to distract from being a pedo, but treating his authoritarian statements as a distraction serves only to distract from any action we have left to stop it.

      He can be both, a pedo and a dictator. And we should act accordingly

      He did, and that’s not something to disregard, but that is their distraction from everything else his handlers have been getting away with. You’re focused on Trump, that’s entirely what they’re banking on and it’s working.

      I’m not convinced the sudden surge in posts from otherwise left-leaning people encourage gun ownership aren’t at least partially perpetuated by an astroturfing campaign on behalf of gun manufacturers

        If you haven’t seen leftists and left leaning people advocating for gun ownership then you haven’t been looking. Groups like the SRA, JBGC, and Pink Pistols have been around for at least a decade and are rapidly growing in size.

        If you go far enough left, you get your guns back.

        There are many types of power that people should have, martial among them. Without force, it isn’t possible to hold leaders to account if they decide to forego the interests of the people they lead.

      Europe is already falling. This was part of a coordinated effort. The right did stupid shit to erode the US, hostile foreign powers hijacked the Republican Party using Trump ince they had weakened the US enough, and this destabilized the entire western world due to their reliance on the US.

      The republicans dumbly did exactly what their enemies wanted. And they still don’t even realize they are being used yet.

          Same thing that led to the surge of racism in the US. Lyndon B. Johnson said it best:

          If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

    A lot of people are saying that trump had an intimate relationship with a sexual predator that trafficked children and was involved in the same or similar pedophilic behavior. A lot of people are saying this.

      Maybe as a Christmas tree ornament? You can have dozens of MAGATs hanging from the branches, with their eyes 'X’ed out.

      From the white house balcony would be a better image in the history books though.
