A loyal army of followers, a huge disinformation network, and a party of soul-selling cowards can crowd out facts for a long time. But eventually, reality catches up.
The presidency of Donald Trump is now officially in collapse. His war is … not exactly a disaster, but it sure isn’t the cakewalk he envisioned when he sprang it on the American people and the world with no notice on February 28. His firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi because she wasn’t sycophantic enough indicates a man who is utterly incapable of understanding anything about how democracy is supposed to work. His economy is a wreck and may well get worse. His proposed budget, especially the half-trillion-dollar increase to the Pentagon, is wildly out of whack with the priorities of the public.
I could go on—and on. But on top of all that, Trump’s purchase on reality, tenuous at the best of times, is slipping fast. Think about what it takes for the “leader of the free world” (a phrase we are now obliged to tuck inside irony quotes) to wake up on Easter morning—the day of the resurrection of the same Jesus Christ in whose name “War Secretary” Pete Hegseth says we are killing Iranians—and post this unhinged and inflammatory comment on social media: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Ahhh, so those of us who didn’t have a say in how Reconstruction was administered, who did vote for a woman, who have never been able to afford to travel to Europe, who have no position of power from which to “make Europeans suck shit with your assbackwards copyright law and ass backwards anticircumvention laws so that we can’t even use our own devices and data.”, who have been trying to just survive in a rigged game that keeps pitting us against our other citizens, while also struggling to put food on our tables, just… fuck us then, I guess, because we happened to be born in this fucked up place?
Surely if they were born here, they’d be taking up arms!
I dunno man, ya’ll carpetbombed countries and ended a lot of innocent lives.
Consequences are coming home, man. They didn’t wanna get carpet bombed for being born in a fucked up place either, but ya’ll still deliver euphamisms like “patriot” missiles.
See, you keep using the word “y’all” like we ALL support what this regime is doing, but we don’t. I agree absolutely that American Imperialism and capitalism are driving this train over the cliff, but to generalize and characterize all of the citizens of any country under the same umbrella moves nothing positive forward.
Your countrymen voted as a block, and your fellow countrymen decided this fate for you, similarly to the draw of fate that lead to those iranians being in the wrong place at the wrong time to get a missile dropped on them.
Just because you didn’t approve doesn’t mean your nation didn’t. Sorry. You’re not special, and nor were those iranian girls in that school.
Your obstinate refusal to address the core points of my observation and instead cling to this ridiculous proposition that every citizen of a nation that does something that you don’t approve of is worthy of a violent death demonstrates that you have no viable suggestions for solutions, and you only want to see the world burn because you’re throwing a tantrum like a toddler. Not unlike our own Glorious Leader. May the two of you share the fire of all bloodthirsty war mongers.
