learn to write.
But fair enough, I can see how that might have been misinterpreted.
Yeah speak more carefully.
idk man you said we didn't know if Trump was going to be like Sulla and give up his power and that's a stupid fucking thing to say.
You're an idiot because you think that Trump would ever resign like Sulla did.
These are not problems I have. I do have the problem of pseudofascist apologia being literally everywhere. You emitted trash nonsense. We already know what Trump is. Shut the fuck up.
If Trump is elected to a second term it will be a disaster and there is no ambiguity as to the nature of Trump for he has already declared civil war against the will of the American people. You are an idiot.
It is idiocy and I am not obliged to respect it as anything but idiocy.
I guess what I’m saying overall is Trump might, even if elected to a second term, still turn out to be the American Sulla instead of the American Caesar if you catch my drift.
This is stupid. You are an idiot. Shut the fuck up.
son
there is a fascist movement
this is an emergency
I will hurt who I will hurt.
you should shut the fuck up with your 'well actually' de facto dictator apologia
Rome didn't have that many 'dictators' give up power
the vast majority of societies with authoritarian dictators are dysfunctional
again: shut the fuck up.
you're still operating on the 2014 patch, it's 2024
like it's not that hard. The US is not some special case when it comes to nation-states.
When the murder monkey hate spiral gets going, it keeps on murdering and hating.
if you believe otherwise, you are fooling yourself.
anyone who doesn't expect a regime of brutal martial law to come out of a Trump administration is fooling themselves.
these people have already shown they don't care about law and order to institute their belief system on the rest of us.
what's going to stop them? congress? they'll kick out the Democrats because law and order mean nothing to them in their pursuit of power at any costs.
a full scale state-by-state civil war is increasingly likely.
solid troll
you're simplifying a complex situation
the 'right wing' believes climate change is a hoax. you're struggling with a failed conception of 'both sides' politics. please receive a plot update.
As one of said assholes, the biggest problem I have with Lemmy is that it's stuck trying to be both the Old Internet in which directness was prized and encouraged no matter how acerbic, and Comfort Internet for nonpartisans.
When these two crowds mix there's going to be discomfort.
And freedom from participation in politics is hiding in privilege to some very real extent, so in some ways I don't know how to be sympathetic to your plight.
But all politics is ragebait, isn't it? I've come back to this general feeling that we need more rage, not less.
The doctrinal conflicts on the Internet are yet to be resolved. We still have the disaffected rightwing types who haven't really had it sink in yet that they failed and their loser is and was always a loser. We still have moderate idiots who think that 'both sides' need to curtail their extremists.
It's an irony that one of the Left's strengths is dogmatism, because I do think there's dogmatic leftists here that I find insufferable. I didn't used to dislike male feminists as much as I do now, but let women represent women's issues.
In the meanwhile, the leftist dogma of No Platforming Stupid Rightwing Shit needs to be more formidably advanced.
There's no point continuing this if you can't read.
This isn't about their values at all. You keep on mindlessly returning to your algorithm for evaluating candidates assuming that people can make a decision as to whether or not an old person is healthy. But we are living in the aftermath of people failing to make that decision.
If you don't believe this, you've failed a basic political awareness test. If you don't believe that Trump was unhealthy for this country and that a vote for him is a vote against our civilization, you've failed a basic political intelligence test.
Your model of how well people make these decisions is flawed, wrong, and irrelevant.
If what you care about [is] in fact [their] health then their age should be irrelevant.
This is wrong. Health and age are deeply connected. If you can't accept that, you're failing a basic biological intelligence test.
Hint: There's nothing about a 28 year old that would make them unfit to be President. But our society has made the decision to set an arbitrary line at 35. There is no reason not to set a corresponding arbitrary line at 65.
Age isn't the only risk factor I care about, it's just the only age factor I care about discussing with you.
Age limits are de facto term limits. If you want to make it 60 I'm willing to hear it.
I'm advertising a community, https://lemmy.world/c/otherworldly, for those of certain mindsets about spirituality and the intersection of spirituality and politics. If any are familiar with /r/sorceryofthespectacle, I plan to continue that vibe.
