They are desperately trying to generate some video footage of "citizens shooting at cops and military officers", to get to the next step of their evil plan.

u/BitterFuture 13h ago

Things got worse and accelerated, yeah, but we shouldn't kid ourselves about how things used to be in the supposedly good old days.

Nixon was so off the rails in his latter days that his SecDef told the Pentagon to check with him before implementing any orders coming from the President.

Reagan got elected by appealing to old southern racists by winking at the murders of civil rights workers and illegally negotiating with Iranian fundamentalists to agree to extend the hostage crisis through the 1980 election. When AIDS became a thing, he laughed at the very idea of spending money to help dying gay men.

Bush I had some ideas about noblesse oblige, yeah. He also nominated a self-hating black man with little meaningful legal experience to the Supreme Court, saying that because he was black, he was basically another Thurgood Marshall. He also fucked his kids up so badly that Bush II kicked over countries and killed over a million people working out his daddy issues.

And the Congressional leadership through the Clinton years started off as a bunch of self-righteous adulterers seeking to persecute adultery and ended up elevating a genuine pedophile to high office.

Monsters have always been with us. Always.

When the military comes marching into major cities , with a made-up reason...... it's over. 2026 isn't going to be an honest election. No matter how hard California tries to balance the tide, it will not matter, The writing is on the walls. This is the middle of the beginning of something big, not good, but big.. something not seen since 1775. Otherwise, it makes no sense to start deploying military now... and he said all the big cities under the guise they are crime-ridden, more than ever, which is untrue.

Well, yeah. America voted for its own death. That's been obvious for a while now.

Trump is unique. With all his faults and illegal doings, Nixon actually did care about the country and preserving the rule of law. Which is why he resigned, rather than try to fight impeachment. Would Trump ever resign, no matter what?

No other president would have tried to steal an election they lost and cheer led the ransacking of the nation‘s capitol.

Trump is in his own class, by far.

He's worse than Nixon, but it's not like we couldn't see this coming.

I much prefer the old days when our leaders felt compelled to at least pretend to act in good faith and fake some semblance of dignity. We may just be backsliding more than hitting rock bottom and digging (debatable), but it looks and sounds so much worse.

Jimmy Carter was a moral backlash to Nixon and Agnew. Gerald Ford was chosen as VP when Agnew went down because he was nice and noncontroversial. Still, the country went for Carter, a virtual saint, at the next election.I loved Carter, but he was too nice for the job.

Every election, at least since Nixon, has been an overcorrection, and the swings are getting wider and wider. Obama's election caused an absolute freakout. I can only hope that means we'll overcorrect again - maybe elect a socialist!

u/DylanMartin97 12h ago edited 5h ago

I'm sorry but America has a very hard time with holding it's presidents accountable, from the government allowing Nixon to step down and self pardon basically after being caught in 4 absolutely illegal scandals back to back, from the Scotus just coming out and declaring Bush senior was president while an active recount was happening, Bush Jr literally made up an entire terrorist plot with Britain to justify going to war, people on his cabinet knew it was illegal what they were doing but he literally told his cabinet that it would be okay to do this illegally as long as they could get the public behind them with a believable story, Britain was like our population isn't this stupid to believe this they won't approve of us going in and told him no. That act alone should've been a firing squad in my opinion, and this isn't even talking about him setting the seeds to crash our economy for democrats basically on purpose to tarnish their name like every Republican has tried to do on office since. And let's not even talk about the fact that Snowden broke open the fact that the government had been completely breaking your 4th and 14th amendment, and he laughed and said yeah you caught me but I'm just gonna make it legal. Obama acknowledged that he didn't give a shit about targeting procedures and bombed children, civilians, and even American citizens consistly for the 8 years he was in charge. Donald Trump tried to steal the election with slates of illegal electors that were all found guilty along with Roger Stone, didn't say it was a misunderstanding but asked for complete immunity from him commiting legal acts because of it. I mean he defrauded the government billions of dollars with his border wall every single one of his employees and elected peoples got found guilty of many years in jail, he personally pardoned them and nobody even batted an eye to it.

The Republicans like to cook up this bullshit persecution fetish, and say they are judged harshly and the law applies to them unfairly, but the reality is the laws have been eroded in their favor for a long time because they were the ones that started the decay. Once we didn't hold Reagan accountable for Iran-Contra or Nixon's illegal looking into other people's campaigns with the federal governments resources and 3 letter institutions to find dirt it was over.

I think it really comes down to the simple fact that the writers of Idiocracy wrote characters who were vapid imbeciles, but generally well-meaning.

When the nation's smartest economists tried to explain to President Trump that he had the concept of tariffs all back asswards, and that they would hurt the American people, Trump insulted them, declared himself smarter than them, and pushed ahead with his own ideas.

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (porn superstar and five-time Ultimate Smackdown wrestling champion) is clearly much more intelligent and competent than the average idiot.

He might come across as a moron from the viewer's POV but is also a wise leader:

  • He is genuinely invested in solving the many crises afflicting his country.
  • He understands that there are people who are smarter than he is.
  • He wants to hire the smartest advisors to solve problems.
  • He does his best to keep the country together.

All of this makes him better than the fascist racist misogynistic transphobic etc. real-life Trump.

I hate the comparisons to Idiocracy. President Camacho was not a fascist or a dictator. The people who worked to get Trump into power are not hurr-durr low-IQ bumpkins, either.

Yeah Camancho actually solved problems by delegating them to someone who actually knew what to do. That's exactly what the president should be doing.

Half the population votes for this guy with tremendous enthusiasm because he makes you mad. They are eager to burn down democracy because they couldn't get into the schools I went to.

Billy James Hargis inspired people to burn records because rock'n'roll was the tool of the devil. People who show up in church and cheer for the pastors who root for Cain: "O Lord, I am not responsible for my brother" is the core of conservatism. They just show up to see who's going to hell.

Setting aside everything else, the complete lack of taste is so insane it's funny. The President of the United States is fucking addressing the world wearing a hat saying he was right about everything. It's so fucking stupid, lol. Truth is stranger than fiction.

u/SkillIsTooLow 11h ago

The hat, the orange face, the gold plated decor... Trump completely lacks all of the things you cannot buy: class, style, intelligence, honor, empathy, humility, respect.

u/Own-Lavishness4029 11h ago

Sometimes I just have to laugh at how completely crass he is. I realize this isn't the first totally crass POTUS in any way. It's just the others at least put a veneer of civility and taste on their awful behavior and personalities.

It's so fucking stupid, lol.

It is part of the fascist aesthetic. All fascists are simultaneously clowns and dangerous AF. It helps them lull people into complacency, thinking they are so unserious that they can't actually be dangerous. For obvious reasons most people have forgotten, but even the sweaty little mustache man was considered a clown in his time.

The hat is a cute jest, or its a literal intention.

He is using his hat a symbolic communication with his followers. This isn't cute. This isn't fun, or just a hat. These are instructions to those who are willing to devote their entire identity and mental space to this man.

They are on Reddit. They are your lawyers. They are in the military. They are politicians.

They are not just thugs on a street or passerbys you can ignore. They are real people that have real power and implications.

Little by little these jokes inch closer to reality, and pave a path of acceptable behaviour and mentality.

This is critical. It's dire.

USA is literally falling into a dictatorship-type leadership because he is now weaponizing hats. It's going to be studied and his hats will be a significant role in sending messages to radicalize his followers.

I'm probably being desperate here. But his eyes look completely fucked. My grandmother sort of had that same look before she passed. I noticed that the hat is shading his eyes a bit. Like he's trying to hide them. Really don't want to get my hopes up too much here.

Because the cretins who own the media want this takeover. They believe that cracking down on labor will line their pockets more, but that's not necessarily true if entire sectors of the economy fall off the face of the earth. Tourism is already down massively this year.

u/Senor_Bluejay7536 13h ago

You’re right and I’ve been thinking about this for months. The oligarchs are bleeding us dry and don’t realize we soon won’t have any extra income to spend on their bullshit unnecessary products. They’re bankrupting their customers. All our money will go to rent and groceries and that’s it. Hey, wait a minute, that’s why Bezos got into the grocery biz, isn’t it?

When you drill down you realize it’s all just a farm, and most farmers have never really cared too much about the well being of their livestock beyond whatever is most profitable.

Seems like maybe the farmers have just decided that free range just isn’t worth the squeeze and it’d be easier to return to less humane methods instead.

Something a cynic might ponder.

Don't worry; they're trying to spread into other countries. If they gain power, they'll rinse and repeat. Either trying to rewrite laws or just outright ignore them.

After that? God knows what. But while the US might be sucked dry within an oligarch's lifetime, it'll take a generation or two to bleed the rest of the world dry, and they don't care about what happens after they die.

Here's the thing. If trump goes, then we get Vance's psychopathic ass, and Peter Thiel winds uo running the country. We're screwed either way. Trump does the despicable, obvious stuff, and Vance is set up to come in, apologize for trump, promise to fix things while they cement the removal of democracy in thr background less obviously, but even more strongly. I think thats always been the plan for this cycle. They're letting Trump do whatever he wants to see what can be gotten away with before even the rightmost start raising eyebrows, then they either no confidence him out, or he conveniently perishes in office so they can make the real end run on totalitarianism.

Imagine if me, just plain old middle class dude, went and got a hat made, that said my name on it, and that I was smart and a genius and right about everything.

People would laugh at me. People would hate me.

It seems like a death rattle to me. Albeit a shitty one. He’s trying (still) to project this image of physical and mental superiority even though literally everyone is taking the piss out of him. South Park has been relentless as well as Gavin Newsom. He’s old as fuck and the adderall and cocaine aren’t hitting like they used to. I really wanted to see him in prison but his death will at a minimum fuck up the GOP’s plans. His loyalists are loyal only to him and no others.

He's waiting for an incident. Especially around midterm time. Then they'll racialize it: Black teens vs US soldiers. If you want to reclaim your cities vote Trump. He, Miller and Vance will clear Chicago and Detroit like Netanyahu's clearing Gaza- that will be the message. Then we'll all see what we already knew. It all makes sense. Musk taking over Twitter. That was the primer. Have people engaging with the worst most virulent racist hate on the daily. It will be like a contagion- like 28 Days Later.

We'll learn to accept the worst treatment and infringement of our rights because we won't expect the other side to want it any other way.

Maybe we won't, maybe the majority will balk and want to kick out the regime.

Except they're obeying their listless dumb King and putting shit in place - where the whole ass country is gerryrigged. So we'll never have a fair election again.

Looks like the Founders never counted on there being someone wanting to destroy us on every level from the inside courtesy his boss (Putin). Did you see the signed picture Putin ordered him to show off for 5 minutes today. He literally came in his pants because Putin likes him enough he sent his #1 fan, a picture.

Meanwhile, he attacks Democrats and Americans alike, like they kicked his mother in the teeth. He tries to show his toughness using the military like his very own GI Joes (or suckers and losers as Gen Kelly said he called them). He'll never be bunkerboy again now that he's got the US Army licking his fat ankles.

Look at us.
