He has concepts of revenge.
Unfortunately, Project 2025 is a whole book/organisation devoted to getting effective permanent revenge.
That's why tankies don't want to support kamala.
It's painfully clear by now that Gaza is just a trump card for them to whine about. It sucks.
That's why tankies don't want to support kamala.
"That" being the promises in the meme? I don't understand why that would make them not support Kamala.
So lemme break things down..
Trump would turn the Israeli genocide of Palestine up to 11.. MFKN TURBOMODE9000 GENOCIDE.
I'm figuring that must be what the tankies want to happen.
Or maybe you can figure out how voting for a third party that won't win (I fucking promise you they won't) ISNT helping trump out.
They're leveraging a genocide to fuck with people's emotions to manipulate things. It's gross. Tankies are gross.
Sadly a lot of people unironically think that these captions should be reversed, because revenge = violence and that's Chad af and helping others is for wusses, or something
Also, hundreds of years of prosperity gospel. If you're poor or suffering, then you must have done something wrong because God is punishing you. If you're thriving, then you must be good because God is rewarding you. That's one reason why the police go after poor people more heavily. There more likely to pull over an old beater car than they are a new pickup truck. So if you want to commit crimes just drive a newer truck because they won't even look at you. Even better if you put a thin line sticker somewhere.
Not "hundreds of years", don't let them make you think it's old. The idea that "God wants you to be wealthy and healthy and being poor and sick is because you displeased God" only really goes back to the start of the last century, and gained a lot of traction with the Jesus People type revivals in the 70s, when faith healing became a serious mainstream thing in the US. The larger portion of devout US Christians were largely fairly apolitical to left-leaning until about the 50s.
But I don't know what is better for me and my country.... -Dumb undecided voter
Harris is the obvious choice
I don't care how selfish that dog acted, I would vote for them 1000 times before ever considering Trump.
He has concepts of plans though.
Trump supporters be like: "Um, ackchually, Trump wants to lower taxes, maybe only for the billionaires, but they can invest that into new jobs instead of paying for the state. Even if he outlawed homosexuality or transgenderism, a next president can re-legalize it!" (The last one was a real conversation I had with my mother about the child protection law of Fidesz, which so far seems only protecting the sensibilities of her boyfriend, who often makes such homophobic rants on disgust, you immediately know the real motive wasn't the protection of children, unless you call childishly homophobic men children.)
Yeah I don’t know, like Harris isn’t perfect enough yet for me. She hasn’t danced to my tune yet /“undecided” voter
As a European,
Wtf.
Like how can you ask for perfection when you have so much BS going on in a country
glances at the state of European politics
How can you talk shit when Kier Starmer, Emanuel Macron, and Olaf Schultz are your idea of good-enough liberal compromise? And why do these liberal centrists (in the US and Europe both) keep producing larger and larger factions of popular fascist movements?
Liberals have made "perfect" synonymous with "good". Candidates like Corbyn and Melancion were the compromise, but y'all couldn't resist selling your democracies down the river for another decade of dirt cheap imports.
As a fellow European I’m equally baffled.
True, the Harris-Walz ticket isn’t amazing on all fronts and atrocious in some. But even their turd sandwich is better than whatever the GQP has cooked up. And there’s a tiny chance at progressivism with the Dems, but none with the Rs.
If Trump wins, it's not as simple as that. Which means that when he eventually discovers he still doesn't have automatic fascist powers, he would immediately fall back to Project 2025. Which is why it is so foreboding - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Reactions_and_responses
They’ll have a to-do list for sure. Are they going to do it, that’s a whole different question.
They’ll have a to-do list for sure.
Send another $25B to Israel for... uh... things. Subsidize the tech sector's enormous investments in AGI, so that those businesses and find new and exciting ways to remove adults from the workforce and replace them with substandard algorithms. Open more public lands up for industrial scale mining, particularly for fossil fuels, which will then be privatized and refined to sell to our energy hungry geopolitical allies in Europe and East Asia. Continue escalating militarily with every member of the BRICS, engaging in a slew of violations of international law (from surveillance to torture to civilian bombings) while beating our chest and declaring we are the champions of liberty and justice. Tax cuts! Domestic spending cuts! Privatization of public services!
Maybe we'll get around to doing something for legalizing abortions specifically in blue states, if we can work it into the schedule.
As an enemy within, we're only mean to these people because they're fascists.
Yep. I will be both frightened and proud if he comes after the subset of enemies I'm in. Again.
I'm a centrist! I can't tell the difference between these statements!
They were weawwy mean to be fair
If that fat cunt can dox me, put me on the list. If your baby hands are big enough to grab the pen.
Commander in chief vs whining bully in chief.
Nobody’s ever been as mean to anyone as Bad Democrats are to poor trumpie :(
Tbf he has the concept of a plan
