Oh no don’t worry there is plenty of leopards eating people’s faces going on. I’ve seen so many crying about how these tariffs are gonna cost them jobs. Also saw some posts by conservative women pissed off when they found out DEI includes them as well not just people of colour

Lemmy has conservative subs?

When they elected him the first time i tgought: hah, i bet they feel really stupid now because how incompetent he was. Nope, they doubled down and did it again.

Almost like they are hiding.

Hopefully, they are thinking about their decision to vote for a guy who's coming to destroy their lives, too.

He really is a cow in a porcelain store.

It's a face eating extravaganza - for the leopards that is.

Anti-intellectualism is one hell of a drug.

He is going to "common sense" America into Idiocracy. Remember his fantastic solution to COVID (injecting bleach + UV)? Or nuking hurricanes? When you make all the scientists run away, you end up with "the idea sounded good in my head... after a few beers".

He's so cartoonishly moronic, he makes Portal 2's Wheatley look like a Harvard graduate.

"Inches from a better world" has been a common phrase on my mind, with the added benefit of really needing a lot of context before the magastappo get pissy.

When it comes to presidential assassinations, there's really no replacing the efficacy of Marine Corps marksmanship training.

"I went forward in time...to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the assassination attempt."

"How many did you see?"

"Fourteen million six hundred and five."

"How many were successful?"

"All but one."

He didn't miss, he hit people in the crowd.

It's about what I expect from conservative shooters. Shooting everyone except the people who should be shot.

Because it was a stunt to make the fat orange idiot look like a hero.

We have three branches in the federal government - executive, legislative, judicial. Legislative creates laws. Judicial basically decides when they apply/arbitrates their implementation. Executive branch is the actual meat of the entire thing, containing basically every other federal government institution, which is (in broad strokes) a giant hierarchy with the President at the top, with the ability to override every decision. It's because the people who designed this system had monarchism as their primary frame of reference and basically designed "monarchism with a couple restraints". People like to think it's democracy with checks and balances, but the democratic elements are worthless and the checks and balances have completely failed.

The dams are entirely the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers, and the US President is the commander-in-chief.

The only ways for this to not happen is for the President to have their mind changed, or the President is removed from office, or, the order is refused enough (at cost of being fired/court-martialed) that nobody will carry them out.

The great powers of the US Presidency is meant to expedite government action. We are currently far from the scenario where Congress, by the will of the US voters, will remove the current President.

Easy: it didn't happen in a democratic country.

In his previous term there were people in all positions that would say no. He didn’t like that and fired people constantly, rotating through an inordinate amount of staff.

This time round they pre-planned everyone in every inch of federal government. All loyalists. No one will say no. They all fall in line and do as they’re told.

Trump and his handlers will strip mine and destroy the country from top to bottom completely unchallenged. And any challenge will simply be sidestepped or simply ignored.
