Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not "ignore everything Trump." He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He's also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." Donald Trump's political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He's already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

I agree with this take.

Too late for that. Now its more about keeping track of madman with weapon. Not that i want to read anything involving the piss hitler though, it would be much better if there just was nothing pay attention to.

Too late

by about 8 and a half years

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

That was the path before the election. A lot of clickbait headlines linking to his platform that exposed his "alternate facts basis" for evil. Now the attitude won't make him go away anymore.

I completely agree but it's a little hard for me to know exactly where to draw the line though. It's less hard for assholes profiting from his bile. They can print everything he says (and print money from that) and also stand on the flimsy argument that everything he says is newsworthy.

Yeah, ignore the president of USA. Great strategy

The guy is never going to run out of dead cats to grab headlines and avert attention from more important things.

Don't feed the trolls.

If we waited for Trump to say something intelligent, we’d never heard from him again. Hmm…

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 months ago

Ditto elon

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I don't remember where I heard this, but it's stuck with me "Liberals take Trump literally and have never taken him seriously."

[-] Impassionata@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It's one of the stupidest most pathetic excuses downplaying the serious things Trump is saying. It's appropriate to take Trump seriously and literally.

You really fucking believe he wouldn't nuke a hurricane? Why would you believe that? He does all sorts of stupid things. Sometimes he's told no and the morons take it as evidence that he wasn't ever serious.

The incoming president has declared his intent to expand the borders of the US north and south. That's news. If you don't take that seriously and literally, you're just burying your head in the sand. Stop spreading this mindless denialism.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

A lot of things he says, he's incapable of either doing or has the follow through of doing it. What a gross misreading of what I wrote. Your alarmism is a weak coping mechanism. Grow up.

[-] Impassionata@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You are fundamentally incorrect.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 1 points 4 months ago

It cant

[-] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I just wish social media wasn't focused on so much, when it comes to politicians and other high figures.

They should be posting statements of value on official websites and the like, yet instead a blimmin' tweet is the highlight of discussion time and time again. Why should I care? I'm not here to be friends with them.

We had a brief respite from 2021 to 2022

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing right now? The lack of self awareness is astounding.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

Well, no, not the same thing. This is a meta critique.
