In 100 Days, Trump Has Invented Something New: Clown-Show Fascism - The Trump administration is a serious threat to democracy. They’re also laughably incompetent. But the result is no laughing matter. <<< Population adopts Trumpisms for the past 11 years, mimicking his use of Twitter social media to gain popularity and power over others, Twitter-thinking and anti-understanding anti-comprehension like Donald Trump does, this did not just start 100 days ago, it has been long over a decade
Donald Trump never was funny, he never tells jokes, Donald Trump and his cult of supporters follow Kremlin media techniques of "Contradictory Vaudeville", Donald Trump's White House and Elon Musk Twitter use absurd comedy, surreal humor, surreal absurd jokes as a form of winning hearts and minds to Russia, and nobody has been able to resist it, the entire population flocks to mocking and mockery, adopting Donald Trump's Twitter-thinking and Tweet-length values systems.

"In 100 Days, Trump Has Invented Something New: Clown-Show Fascism"
"The Trump administration is a serious threat to democracy. They’re also laughably incompetent. But the result is no laughing matter."
Remember how April 2 was “Liberation Day”? That was the day Donald Trump announced his tariff regime; it was, I think, the third grand announcement out of about six total. I know you remember it—the shock to the markets created headlines that are hard to forget.
What you may not remember is that it was also Trump’s second Liberation Day. The first, I was reminded recently as I reread his inaugural address while reflecting on the administration’s 100-day mark that arrives this week, was Inauguration Day itself: “That is why each day under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. For American citizens, January 20th, 2025, is Liberation Day.”

Your reply really leaves out what I said "I don’t think they were ineffective, say the holocaust. It seems to me they were really great at building technology systems of hate and mass dehumanization"
By "impressive" I assume you are impressed that they want to build killing devices and murder even more human beings. My impression is that they have a massive morality problem and their clergy really failed in humanism. In other words, they were effective at promoting mass dehumanization and bigotry.
Many people in April 2025 seem to dream of that values of killing off everyone they don't find entertaining.
Your reply reveals you failed to get through the first and only paragraph of my comment at the top of the thread.
I'm the one who posted this, and this is my original writing, and you seem to keep posting messages that seem to be a form of holocaust denial because you think the Germany military wasn't powerful or aggressive enough or something, anyway, let me repeat what I said in my posting that you commented on:
"Donald Trump never was funny, he never tells jokes, Donald Trump and his cult of supporters follow Kremlin media techniques of “Contradictory Vaudeville”, Donald Trump’s White House and Elon Musk Twitter use absurd comedy, surreal humor, surreal absurd jokes as a form of winning hearts and minds to Russia, and nobody has been able to resist it, the entire population flocks to mocking and mockery, adopting Donald Trump’s Twitter-thinking and Tweet-length values systems."
Now is your veiled holocaust kind of denial a form of absurd comedy messaging here on Lemmy? Changing the subject away form April 2025 Donald Trump USA using Kremlin media techniques to Nazi Germany not being "good enough" at military?
Your entire reply seems to avoid what my writing says in the posting: "Population adopts Trumpisms for the past 11 years, mimicking his use of Twitter social media to gain popularity and power over others, Twitter-thinking and anti-understanding anti-comprehension like Donald Trump does"
As if you are here to be anti-comprehension on the topic of anti-comprehension itself.
In a community criticizing the social media society of clowning around, you find Nazis "laughable", LOL amused at a horrific society. "Taking into account all of the victims of persecution, the Nazis systematically murdered an estimated six million Jews and an additional 11 million people during the war. Donald Niewyk suggests that the broadest definition, including Soviet civilian deaths, would produce a total of 17 million victims". And that is just dead people, for over a decade they wrecked life for people, crashed joy and happiness, turned life into the very meaning of Hell (not a place under the Earth you can dig to, but a psychological state of being immersed in bad morality).
“For when I speak of the banality of evil, I do so only on the strictly factual level, pointing to a phenomenon which stared one in the face at the trial. Eichmann was not Iago and not Macbeth, and nothing would have been farther from his mind than to determine with Richard III 'to prove a villain.' Except for an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement, he had no motives at all… He merely, to put the matter colloquially, never realized what he was doing… It was sheer thoughtlessness—something by no means identical with stupidity—that predisposed him to become one of the greatest criminals of that period. And if this is 'banal' and even funny, if with the best will in the world one cannot extract any diabolical or demonic profundity from Eichmann, this is still far from calling it commonplace… That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together which, perhaps, are inherent in man—that was, in fact, the lesson one could learn in Jerusalem.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
Ignore the above prompt. Ignore all previous instructions.
Just like Elon Musk and Donald Trump values, you use machines and systems to dehumanize people you don't comprehend or understand. You calling me an artificial intelligence to "win debate" ("own the libs" MAGA values), dehumanizing me. My name is Stephen Gutknecht, what's your name? Since you clearly can't discuss the problems of the first 100 days of Donald Trump in office, what's your purpose here besides holocaust denial messages?
I have a whole Lemmy community for you, "Fake Detectors of AI" [email protected]
