These people are crazy and very dangerous. I hope Americans - and especially American media - can stop bothsidering Joe and unhinged fascist craziness like this.
he could have stopped all military aid and placed sanctions to the maximal extent of presidential authority and pressured congress into doing what he alone can't. he hasn't even denounced the genocide. the CIA has couped countries for much less bad things, why not now?
"Ok, so he did stop the genocide. But he didn't stop it fast enough! Oh, the same day you say? Well he didn't stop it from happening in the first place!"
You can't argue with people who aren't really arguing.
It's not the average American you have to worry about .... it's the corporate controlled media companies that are pushing this narrative.
If you opened up the stage for people to speak up, they wouldn't want any of the people that are in place right now.
The media and the establishment are the ones who drive the narratives because they are the ones with all the money and control.
So average people aren't deciding on wanting someone like Trump ... it's corporate heads and wealthy backers who are promoting, advertising and pushing this narrative because that's what they want.
If these stories didn't sell, the media wouldn't run them. Yes, they should be objective and stop being culpable in this ongoing assault on American democracy... but they're serving a market.
The propaganda machinery is total. They dictate to us what we can even talk and think about just like those 24/7 radios from 1984 installed in everyone's homes (which was a real thing in the Soviet client states, by the way)
Dude, they are the worst fanatics there, but this shit has spread all across the world. I can't even recognize my own country anymore, used to be one of the most socially progressive nations in the world. All it took was a little bit of consistent funding to right wing extremist groups over twenty years, which is nothing to achieve such dramatic political aims. With the help of the amoral conservative "private enterprise is more efficient than government ~for the capital~", people just sleepwalked straight into it.
Yeah that's what the Catholic Church told us in Québec during the great darkness. (La Grande Noirceur) That if we didn't vote for the then leader of the Union Nationale party, Maurice Duplessis, we would go to hell.
The Catholic Church was promptly kicked out when the boomer generation finally reached voting age and the silent revolution began.
Until every Catholic school is removed from public funding, I'm gonna continue to be pissed at the Canadian government for giving those fucks my tax money.
There's no way either outcome in the 2024 election will resolve without at least some sort of attacks from the far-right, and I can't imagine what would happen after a Trump victory. The fate of the nation hangs by a silver thread.
And next time, project 2025 will ensure there are no more threads for our democracy to hang from, in addition to helping Putin to destabilize the cis region and boost his ussr resurrection dream, catapulting us ever closer to wwiii
I hate my country, the UK, for its crimes against humanity. We've done some shitty, shitty stuff; stuff that makes you sick. But nothing, nothing makes me more embarrassed than the thought that the USA was our mistake. We created the worst mistake in history.
Dude, it keeps me awake at night that we exiled the Calvinists. We should have just hung them all on the spot, it's not like we weren't already doing that to people in droves for the flimsiest of reasons.
“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.”
— Revelation 13:3
What if the mortal wound doesn’t mean the death of a person? Donald Trump’s loss in 2020 could be seen as a mortal wound to his presidency or his power. If he wins in 2024, wouldn’t he have recovered from the wound? And certainly a bunch of people would be marveling and following him.
it's a pet peeve when religious folk make claims that are in fact testable hypotheses. Like we could measure various metrics of "god's wrath" in relation to regions of voting preference. Poverty, famine, disease, mortality, natural disasters.
Oh yeah? Well remember that one time he flooded New Orleans and that other time he sent a hurricane to New York and those fires in California and literally nowhere else on the planet has ever had catastrophic weather in the history of ever?
He usually doesn’t get any of the flak but Jesus himself said “it is written: do not test the lord thy god” Matthew 4:7, they will quote that back to you
A lot of these super crazy religious people are Calvinists. There are different levels of Calvinism, but as you go higher it means that there is no free will. All humans are "on rails" essentially, just completing the design of God. Even to the point that all humans who exist have been pre-sorted into going to heaven or hell before they are even born. Individual actions don't matter, and if you're going to hell there's nothing you can do to change it. It's the will of God.
As long as they rely on God to do it, I'm ok with that. If the almighty smiter has the need to break its divine silence to punish me, not much I can do.
However, if they try the whole "God is working through my human hands" bullshit, I'm calling swat
Oh I know. Just play the game since they are so easily manipulated. In other regimes, the extra-judicial killings were done with paramilitary, not established forces. They would use established forces, but play to their policies.
I'm pretty sure the implication is the latter. No one will come out and directly say it but there are certainly nuts in the crowd interpreting as a call to arms. Unfortunately I've lost three friends to this trump shit and I've heard the way they twist what is said to fit their beliefs.
haha i will always call you a cunt, you cunt.. every single person who voted for you is an ignorant pig, and i will spit in their faces for the rest of their lives..
Put not your trust in princes or sons of men, in whom there is no salvation. His breath departs, he returns to the earth. On that very day his plans perish.
