"bUt iT's oNLy tHe dAnGeRoUs oNeS!"

I loathe law-and-order rhetoric in any nation, but most certainly in America. Tough On Crime policies have led to the dumbest fucking things that have ever existed in the United States. People are voting for a serial liar and conman who will probably ship them off to Dijbouti or El Salvador just to stay away from someone who broke the law once, or who is likely to break the law. The lesson we should all learn is to stop going nuts over "crime waves". If the news claims that crime is "going through the roof" or that there is an "epidemic of crime", make sure to remember:

  1. There are way, way bigger threats to public safety than a few gangbangers, for example tech companies, evangelicals, and Nazis.
  2. Criminals are people too. They have hopes and dreams, motives, economic conditions, and opinions. Consider why someone is committing a murder or robbery, rather than assuming it's because of greed.
  3. There are for-profit security forces and prisons that all benefit from fear of crime. The news will often blow crime out of proportion to satisfy their sponsors, and downplay authoritarianism likewise.
  4. Police officers are often just as dangerous as criminals. It's better to think of crime as a situation that can be escalated and de-escalated (cops are notoriously bad at this) than as the result of Bad People who need Good People to stop them.
  5. There are a lot of good resources for reading about crime in a productive way. Although I am not quite Anarchist, the Anarchist Library has a lot of thought-provoking material on what makes law just and unjust. There's a big difference between "murder is wrong because the Law says so" and "murder is wrong because killing people is wrong".
  6. Some people are so evil that they need to be killed, i.e. Real Estate CEOs.

If you voted for Trump then this is 100% what you specifically voted for. I’m tired of hearing this line, it’s bullshit. He was barking about literally everything he is doing the entire time, everyone else was pointing out that this is exactly what he was saying, if you genuinely didn’t think this is what he was all about the entire time then you are an idiot and the exact kind of tool they were asking you to be.

Fuck every single person who voted for this.

Makes me wonder what the fuck they think they voted for

[-] [email protected] 124 points 4 days ago

Making merica great, bald eagles, kid rock, 25¢ eggs, free diesel for their monster trucks, short bottom shorts on blondes, beer holders in car and no seatbelt laws taking their freedum.

That sorta thing.

Yeah, could he have screamed "I hate latino immigrants and I want to get rid of them as inhumanely as possible" any louder?

[-] [email protected] 53 points 4 days ago

"It's fake news", "it's taken out of context", "that's not what he meant", you get the gist.

Yes. Yes it is. It's exactly what you voted for. Everyone tried to warn you but you were too fucking focused on dumb, single issue voter shit. You got exactly what you voted for. Enjoy it!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I am also very confused. They had 'Mass Deportation Now' signs, but she didn't think she was voting for this. Que ingenua!

Damn, that's an actual quote. ~~About tariffs, but the point applies here as well...~~ From the context, it seems he meant all the shit he's been doing...

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Mr. President, I think what we’re driving at is that you've taken congressional authority on trade and appropriations. You fired the heads of independent agencies. You're challenging the courts right now, as you know. You're using the levers of government to weaken private institutions like law firms and universities. Isn't this seizing power away from institutions and concentrating them inside the presidency?

No, I think that what I'm doing is exactly what I've campaigned on.

Some questions later:

Just remember, every single question you're asking, I campaigned on it. I campaigned on all the things you're talking about, all the things you're asking about, and openly campaigned.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago

And he really did. He openly campaigned on it all, all the hate, vitriol and fascist points. He didn't hide any of it. Sure he played dumb about project 2025, but he spread all the talking points.

Oh well then, I hope you burn in Hell. Or in Florida. Whichever.

I'm of Irish and Scottish decent. I'm white. As fuck. Not AF. As fuck. I don't tan, I fucking burn, peel, and burn again. All the while, I suffer.

I'm from the south. Grew up in Texas, only been out of it for less than a year and still in the fucking south - so not much better.

Even I could tell... well, anyone, not to vote for Trump. "Oh, Trump likes _______" No, Trump likes Trump. End statement. End logic. End all.

Trump likes Trump.

If anyone thinks that Trump will put them, their group, or their issue, ahead of himself then they have refused to pay attention. Not that they haven't had the chance, they have willfully refused.

I was not able to vote. Moving from Texas to Arkansas, there was in issue with my registration, which in hind-sight sounds like "I'm lazy, have some voter suppression" because I didn't have a capital T branded on my forehead. I should have fought harder, but I was more worried about a roof over my head and food on the table. Fuck me for trying to survive and provide for my wife.

End statement: Not everyone who was unable to vote was lazy: Fuck all of you who say otherwise. Some of us could NOT vote, for whatever reason.

His cult will never turn on him, no matter what he does. He could walk up to one of them, stick a knife in their gut, and they'll humbly ask him to please stop twisting it, Mr. President, so I can vote for you again, sir.

There is no better way to say this. It is exactly what you voted for. And we warned you hundreds of times, but what did y'all say? "The libruls are panicking lol" or something to that effect.

Well, better late than never.

Yes it is. You just thought you were the "good Jew"

Pick up a goddamn history book. There are no safe zones.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

What a goof. This is exactly who you voted for. You knew what he was going to do. He was very vocal and very public about it.

You still supported and voted for him.

I don't know how stupid you have to be to posthumously get mad that you got exactly what you supposedly wanted when you voted for it, just because it was what was clearly described, and not the rose colored picture you had in your mind of what things meant.

Get bent.

I'm pretty sure that in the 1930's, there were groups called "Juden für Hitler" (Jews for Hitler) or similar appellations in Germany.

It is, though.

How could anyone have been alive in 2016-2020 and not know exactly what trump is?

I don’t buy these excuses. Do you hate the fascism you voted for? Fine. But we’re not having a real conversation unless you own that. You’re an adult, ffs.
