Well......what if you imagined them having a leaked sex tape? Just squishing their bits into each other, until they're a sticky moankng gooey mess! Put THAT mental image in your mind!

.......yeah, I've mentally checked out long ago, and no longer am trying to maintain sanity. Frank Reynolds is right. Lets just get REAL WEIRD with our final days....

Ugh, same. It really doesn't help that most of the time people seem to refuse to actually describe their image. We need "TW: Musk/Trump" to become standard for easy blocking

Wanting to be able to exist in a social space online without 3/4ths of all discussion in that space being bleak political news isn't the same thing as ignorance.

I posted about voting, I engage with political discussion, but lemmy is a very politics heavy platform, and while there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that, you kinda have to manage your fatigue levels. You can only be but so upset, outraged and exhausted before it starts to affect you, and being burnt out and overwhelmed doesn't yield productive political action

You gotta take breaks and balance paying attention with stuff that makes life feel worthwhile. If you don't, eventually you just give up. Cats for a little while is kinda nice :)

No no. Ignorance is not the same as stupidity. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the inability to use knowledge.

Every single day since 2016 we've had trump in our daily conversations. Every single day we've heard every stupid thing he's done. Every tiny little thing he's ever said. If news outlets had access to his toilet time, they'd play nightly audio of his poops. There is not a single thing about him that hasn't been said 1000 times. No piece of information about him that isn't out there.

And he doesn't keep himself secret either. He stood onstage and said into a microphone, with cameras rolling, in front of thousands of people, with pride in his voice as he said it, that he would be responsible for the largest mass deportation innititive this country has ever seen. He said if he was elected we wouldn't have to ever vote again. He said he would use the united states military if needed to "put down" the enemy within.

These are not the words of a man hiding facism. He put it on full display for over a year, and the votes came back that we as a collective country WANT that.

The information is out there in public. Reported on ad nauseam on a nightly basis for over a year.

Trump is not the result of ignorance. Trump is the result of weaponized stupidity.
