For the record, I still hope he dies!

And Biden!

ASAP!

Don't forget RFK, he should split the vote 3 ways then drop dead with the other 2 genocidal boomers

Liberals can't fathom people not having Trump Derangement Syndrome and being able to laugh at his goofy ass without popping a blood vessel.

Understanding that America's institutions are unsalvageable unburdens us from being precious about their disgrace.

Which ironically is the the only thing giving him any legitimacy.

Instead of crying about him saying bloodbath for two days (but reiterating they won't do anything to beat him electorally) he's gotten days of free press and he gets to act like a tough guy.

If the universal response had been "what're you going to do get your supporters to smear shit on the wall then go home while you watch it on tv?" They'd actually put him on the backfoot.

I hope he dies, but it will be a bittersweet day for content-brains like ourselves.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Oh come on the conspiracy theories about him actually being alive and hanging out with his best friend Tupac are going to be hilarious.

Chuds are gonna post pictures of 90 year old women with perms from behind with captions like "still hiding in plain site, trust the plan"

You don't wanna watch a dozen Maga dudes struggle to disinter him to prove he's not dead and accidently flop his rotting corpse with a perfectly intact toupee out on camera?

Yes, but him dying from covid in office would have been peak content.

Liberals need him to exist because without him they'd look like feral demons who are incapable of doing anything apart from murdering anyone us-foreign-policy

Turns out "I'm not trump" is less of an effective sales pitch if the other person also isn't Trump and that's literally all they have to run on.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 6 months ago

Liberals in 2028 after Trump died of natural causes a year prior: We're still 99% Hitler. Why won't you vote for the lesser of one Hitlers?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 months ago

They'd just find another guy to villainize. Probably a foreigner like Xi or Putin or Generic Hamas Guy.

When liberals stick their fingers in this beehive is when you folks are at your absolute finest. Federation has been awesome. I know not everyone likes it and I know arguments online aren’t THAT important but there is such a clear difference between sides when the Hexbear posting batallions engage with the liberal interlocutors.

I remember reading someone somewhere say years ago that to the extent debating online means anything it is for the people reading the exchange and not so much the parties debating. The lurkers if you will. Well I am a lifelong lurker because I think I recognized before I had the vocabulary that a lot of posting on social media ultimately amounts to alienation from creative labor. The feeling of bleakness from that and a sort of shame about the idea of trying to garner attention towards myself have kept me from ever being a committed poster.

This space has been the only time I have ever felt like it’s really worth being a part of this.

The way in which you folks have honed your rhetorical edges against each other and practice libs in the dunk tank really shows. Those muscles are strong and they hate that to outside observers you are almost always the more cogent and coherent side.

But the absurdity and humor are even more potent weapons because it breaks the tension and gives people room to examine preconceived notions. There is a degree to which inspiring a laugh is almost like a concession of a point. They cannot stand that we’re more factually grounded AND funnier!

All this is a long winded way of saying that they cannot stand that you folks are funnier, more grounded, and have way better emojis.

What annoys me is not libs disliking us, or disagreeing with us about who the true LEFTIST is, or crying because they got banned.

It's just the sheer, utter disinformation where it's objectively demonstrable that they just make up shit about us and then all believe it. Still in .world, despite being corrected many times, the majority of users will say Hexbears did mass downvoting, when that's literally impossible.

They'll say we love Putin, and Trump. And that we're all fascists - even if you believed dumbdumb horseshoe theory, a fair portion of us aren't even close to authoritarian. That we're largely Chinese shills and bots. That we deliberately organise RAIDS on other instances and aren't just a big community group who like to share our personal experiences on other threads and we like to come to each other's aid. That we're a place of HATE when this place, of all sizeable internet communities, has one of the biggest cultures of love and mutual aid I've ever seen.

I get the political disagreements. I get the disagreement on conversational tone. What I don't get is the sheer determination to not even understand us in the slightest way, to take the most random bullshit, even when it is factually impossible, and take it at face value; all just so they don't have to acknowledge us as real people. That's what upsets me. kitty-birthday-sad

Now I made myself sad >:( I love y'all comrades meow-hug

Reminded of how Hitler had documents forged implicating his enemies prior to the night of the long knives, and then getting angrier and angrier when he read them.

It's why right-wingers can't write satire---they get too mad at their own fiction.

express extreme indifference

You must publicly cry and grieve for this man who we have been calling the reincarnation of Hitler for the past four years!

[–] [email protected] 56 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i'm elevated beyond mere indifference, I'm getting extreme with it. Once Trump dies I'm laying down on a pillow and snoring so loudly that a feather floats up and down on my breath

[–] [email protected] 81 points 6 months ago (3 children)

They think when we joke about him dying we're just being edgy, but also we support him cuz that's also edgy.

They hate him in a dignified civil way where they fail to stop him from doing anything but say "you are like Voldemort good sir!"

[–] [email protected] 62 points 6 months ago (8 children)

I celebrated when Kissinger and Bush Sr. died... He'll get the same treatment. I'd be pretty happy if he just dropped dead on stage like that Ukrainian Nazi.

how DARE you express extreme indifference sir!

Your honor, I was expressing moderate indifference at most. saul-your-honor

Trump dying would be extremely funny and cool

Like imagine it happens at one of his rallies and the crowd just thinks he's speaking in tongues but his brain is dying and nobody moves to render assistance until he keels over, hopefully falling into Jared Kushner's lap 3 Stooges style

[–] [email protected] 73 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I hope he dies on election day

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 months ago (12 children)

TFW you realize that whichever nutcase he picks as his running mate has a high probability of becoming president before 2028

it would honestly be so epic if donald trump died

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 months ago

i would be very happy if he did and i'd probably have some cake.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'm still so disappointed that fucker didn't croak. Him dying could've actually changed the entire landscape of COVID response. Or it could've set off some chuds into a wild fit of conspiracy and shit would have been wilder than it was.

When Trump got COVID I was having the most fun I'd had since the pandemic began. Too bad he didn't go out like Stan Chera.

lemmy.world must declare via admin decree that they would kill or are making active attempts to kill Donald Trump, otherwise they will be identified as material supporters/donors to the GOP & Trump campaign

When he caught COVID I was heading into the wilderness with no service. I prayed when I got back onto the net the first headline if see was "president pence"

god it would have been so funny if "I'm going out like Stan Chera" were his final words.

I feel like we need a sticky given how often this question comes up. Put it with a Pepe the frog meme since that's all the libs seem to notice (even when there isn't a single one on the entire damn web site)

[–] [email protected] 71 points 6 months ago (1 children)

someone here once said it like "chuds only see aesthetics, liberals only hear tone."

The standard liberal tone when discussing Trump is either smarmy smugness or like hushed whispers suggesting the return of Voldemort. Any other tone means you're a conservative, especially if you think Trump is funny

[–] [email protected] 54 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Liberals are like my dog; they can understand tone but not content.

I will never stop laughing at this. Trump and his supporters are a special kind of delusional.

I've been a member of .world for a long time but finally switched to .dbzer0 and started encountering you guys. I was wary at first but so far it seems like you guys are pretty alright, and that a lot of the shit .world talks is unfounded.

Oh yeah and fuck Trump
