Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide…

Here's hoping he has raw milk used in everything at Thanksgiving and ends up with e-coli and lockjaw. Don't know how he would get lockjaw; I just want him to shut the fuck up.

[–] glimse 24 points 1 week ago

Trump getting lockjaw is a surefire way to find himself accidentally falling out a window. Putin needs his holster.

[–] Balthazar 9 points 1 week ago

Lockthumbs too.

[–] bitchkat 0 points 1 week ago

He's apparently quite the germaphobe and i highly doubt that he's drank milk in 70 years.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

dont worry...last time he came to power hundres of thousands of americans died from covid. mpox and other deseases are already in the US. i am sure in the next 4 years a new pandemic will kill rfk and many other imbeciles. a win for the world. lets do a bingo card which maga fail will kill the most americans in the next 4 years! raw milk? no vax? idiotic wars? so many opportunities.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

RFK Jr will get vaxxed and lie about it.

[–] Grogon 70 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In 2025 MAGA's will think that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper than ever since Trump won the election and not even know it's only cheaper cause half of the family abandoned them. They will just say everything is so cheap thanks Trump and believe it and fail to understand that they just had to buy less groceries.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving this year and eat as much as you can cause this is the last affordable for most MAGAs

The text above is real. America has fast food restaurants failing to sell 1/3 pounders because people think 1/4 pounders are more cause 4 is bigger than 3. A reason why a fast food chain quit selling 1/3 pounders and lost competition to 1/4 pounders. That is the educational standard of 40% of americans.

Oh goodness, he's so deranged that it's hilarious!

😆🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

Wait.

Shit.

People actually take him serious. I keep forgetting that every time I see stuff like this. My first thought is that no one could possibly ever take him serious... And then I remember... he was intentionally elected to lead the most influential country in the world... on purpose!

😰

Why can't I wake up from this bad dream?!

😖

[–] gcheliotis 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yes sadly I see more and more people talk about “radical marxists”, “communists”, etc when referring to very mainstream liberal politicians. They seem to be taking all this extreme name-calling seriously. Of course, whether fairly or not, it sounds similarly crazy to many Trump supporters when they or their grifter in chief are labeled “fascists”, “nazis”, and the like. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to miss the political center and moderates. Whatever happened to moderates?

[–] DokPsy 9 points 1 week ago

They're being called radical Marxists, communists, etc

[–] WhyFlip 5 points 1 week ago

It's precisely how he won the election.

[–] Zerlyna 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How uniting of him. Very Christlike.

[–] SendMePhotos 10 points 1 week ago

I feel the need to be informed of his rantings and actions, but I also find it nauseating. Any advice?

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 21 points 1 week ago

It’s far easier to hear about them secondhand where the information isn’t cheered on by sycophants. I’m afraid it’s the best we can do.

[–] NewWorldOverHere 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I recommend watching comedy shows - Seth Meyers (for daily updates), John Oliver, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert. Oh, and occasionally Saturday Night Live.

The only thing I don’t think Seth has touched on accurately is the genocide in Gaza, but I suspect it’s because his wife is Jewish and published a piece in support of Israel. Everything else is spot on.

[–] mos 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I struggle with this too, especially from hearing him speak. I think finding summaries and transcripts would be the way to go.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Transcripts are a lifesaver, his voice is so grating and I can’t stand the meandering, brain rot “style” of speaking he has.

But any time they quote his writing it’s the same story, the random casing and bad grammar are just as bad as that fucking voice.

[–] satanmat 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why can’t you be normal!??!

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 week ago

Because being weird as fuck is apparently what the American people want in a president.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

Every thing this guy - the president elect of the United States - says explicitly announces who his enemy is. He will wield the power of the federal government against his enemies.

Prepare to [email protected]. They're coming for you.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics...

Hey, that's me! Aw, thanks for thinking about us, DT. Now, eat shit and die.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

IMHO, eating shit isn’t really a requirement, just the other part ;)

[–] HappycamperNZ 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, buts its definitely recommended and advised.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Who am I to argue with that! Shit it is.

[–] nutsack 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

which reddit-like news community can i join if I don't want to read everything donald trump posts on twitter for the next 4 years

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I have a set of uBlock Origin filters I turn on in the "my filters" tab when this garbage gets too exhausting. Unfortunately this only works on web browsers.

Example:

discuss.tchncs.de##article.post-container:has(.post-title:has-text("Trump"))

Replace with your Lemmy instance domain and keywords of your choice!

Hopefully lemmy apps start enabling keyword filtering.

I recommend becoming a hermit

[–] nutsack 1 points 1 week ago

a hermit without internet is just a crab

[–] harmsy 6 points 1 week ago

There is no escape from the bigly stable genius. Covfefe.

[–] FlyingSquid 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I can't even imagine going through life that angry all the time. My dad was an angry guy and died angry and also had dementia in the same way it appears to manifest in Trump. I never had anger at the level my dad did, but seeing that I have vowed to myself that I will not repeat that for myself at the end of my own life.

Being angry all the time is just exhausting anyway.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Honestly this is what I ask myself about conservatives a lot: how can they be so mad at so many things all the time?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

It's easier to make people feel angry than to feel angry. And making people feel strongly about anything is a great way to get them engaged with you. I'm sure there's a name for wanting to feel strong feelings. Maybe it's just brain chemistry. But Republicans and other malicious actors exploit that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's because they're stunted and inadequate. Understanding is hard, and so are any real solutions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's an act. He's not really that angry, he's just an asshole.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 week ago

Having known angry people just like him, I don't believe that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not that different from the people who are angry all day every day about what Trump, Elon or whoever is doing. Reading articles about them and writing mean comments might feel like activism but the reality is that it's them and only them whose being harmed by it. Anger is such an exhausting and unpleasant feeling that personally I try and avoid it for as much as possible. It also clouds one's judgement and makes them less effective about what ever it is that they wish to achieve.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 week ago

It may not be different but that doesn't change my point.

[–] RampantParanoia2365 19 points 1 week ago

Wanna know what would make me truly thankful this Thanksgiving?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

MAGA making thanksgiving terrible as everything else.

[–] cheese_greater 1 points 1 week ago

We're gonna miss these some day 😥 /s
