“I told you so when I stayed home on voting day, didn’t oppose it, and blamed it on democrats while calling every leftist who isn’t just like me a fascist!”
-American leftists
I can’t imagine the cognitive dissonance these fascists are going to deal with.
You already can. Just look at how liberals are literally going insane, having delusions and hallucinations because they fundamentally cannot comprehend the inherent contradictions of their own existence.
Just look at how far-leftists are boosting Russia and ignoring their massive psyops operations, one of which Trump is.
Huh, a rare Lemmy conservative. Take a photo, kids.
The “Don’t blame us we didn’t vote for him” crowd immediately turned around and a day later switched to “It doesn’t matter if you voted for him, he’s still your president” and didn’t miss a step. They are fuckin mental contortionists.
What?
Like I’m actually confused, what?
Four years? In ten years from now, the elections of 2024 will be called the ‘Last Elections’ and President Musk will arrest people who will call for their return.
I’m expecting a total collapse before that happens.
One can only hope. Death to the genocidal empire
lovely, now Lemmy has accelerationists.
I’m not an accelerationist, I’m just not a citizen of the US and the faster the empire dies, the better for the rest of the world.
cool. you’re just poorly educated. Trump loves you.
not sure of the logic that got you to “US democracy dies == good for the world” but you do you.
you’re just poorly educated. Trump loves you
Why would I care what Trump loves? Again, not USian.
US hegemony dies = good for the world. The US is the most evil country om Earth. Supporting genocide, invading Iraq and Afghanistan and Korea and Vietnam and Nicaragua and Guatemala and an endless list of countries, engaging in imperialism and unequal exchange, literally born out of genocide and slavery. Can’t wait to see the US crash and burn tbh

cool. I won’t dispute anything you said because I’m not trying to convince you, just educate.
so you know what happens when empires fall right? power vacuums! who do you think will try to become the worlds new power?
enjoy the endless wars and skirmishes as borders change and entire countries disappear overnight because the “evil hegemony, America” is gone! maybe not endless…but at least within some of our (albeit now shorter) lifetimes!
YAY! You win!
hope you aren’t draftable, or near a warzone, or…you know what you’ll find out.
Brexit is still delivering all the "I told you so"s. It’s less fun than it sounds.
I was in the US for the first trump election and in Britain for Brexit. And now I’m back in the US for this shitshow. It’s like I can’t escape the crazy – it’s following me.
Or maybe it’s all my fault and I’m a bad talisman. I dunno, just please make it stop.
Yeah there seems to be this palpable expectation on Lemmy that any day now half of the voting public is going to have some realisation and say “oh my god what have we done”.
It doesn’t work like that though.
Most of the actual retarded things Trump said he would do like the tariffs et cetera will be done in performative way. Done in a way that isn’t too disruptive or harmful but still lets him say he stuck it to China.
The more insidious project 2025 stuff isn’t applied in real time. How does the media report on the slow corrosion of quality of life and rights to privacy et cetera.
Starting with a ceasefire on his inauguration day…

Dude I hadn’t smoked a cigarette for like 2yrs and then after election day… I’m smoking again.
This is why lefties shouldn’t run the country. Your whole game is fair weather optimized.
So your point is that we should have been preparing for the apocalypse a long time ago like you?
No my point is that if your addiction starts again because your non preferred candidate got elected, you have a character issue.
I didn’t like Biden as a President but I got consistently stronger and healthier during his term.
The part of my life that I’ve voted Republican corresponds to the part of my life I’ve taken the most realistic assessment of myself and my role in the world, and I see the two as connected.
what???
Do you have a more specific question? Or is this just another opportunity to dunk for the room?
If you know it all, why don’t you know how to win an election?
Because you can’t fix stupid.
Don’t you realize what a tremendous self-own that is?
“We’re so dumb, we can’t even get stupid people to vote for us!”
Here’s an idea. How about asking the people what they need, and then making that your platform. Have you thought of that?
Because the past few years were good, no complicity in genocide or anything.
Edit: you are free to downvote but you can’t hate Arabs and Muslims and at the same time expect them to vote for you. At least conservatives are honest about being hateful.
They will be extra shit years, but good years weren’t on the ballot.
Our economy would have to undergo fundamental change to reign in greed and reckless metastasis for that.
(yes I voted for regular shit years out of harm reduction)
Yeah. Idk how I feel about this gotcha perspective when trans people and undocumented immigrants are facing state violence on a nearly existential level. Like, is this your response to that? To adopt this smug affect and do nothing? Business as usual for you, I suppose.
You’ll have to forgive me for taking this post very literally. I am very scared for what is going to happen to my friends and loved ones in the coming weeks.
This is false and we know this from the pandemic.
Once you can’t agree on facts, you can’t be right retrospectively.
Millions of people died, if you google US yearly death rate you see a very obvious spike.
To me that is the smoking gun that the pandemic was in fact very deadly.
I haven’t been able to say I told you so to any anti vaxxer.
It’s not about logic, it’s about outrage, and that’s gonna increase moving forward.
As much as I enjoy saying “I told you so,” which is a LOT, I’m really goddamn tired of being proven right so fucking much.
Since you believe in facts so much, you must agree that during American hegemony the world has never been more prosperous.
If you want to lose in 2028, just stick with that smug nonsense, even though you know it doesn’t work to win people to your side. Dems have spent the last three elections driving away votes they need if they want to win, and eventually you’re going to have to learn to engage with people in a reasonable way if that’s what you want.
It is wild, though, that after three disastrous elections in a row (and yes, I"m counting Biden barely squeaking to a win as disastrous) you still think it’s a good idea to annoy the shit out of everyone in your social circle.
Yeahhhh grab em by the p, alt Reich!!!
I’m not alt-right.
I’m not even a Trump supporter.
I can, however, look at the last three elections and watch the results of you and yours making it very clear you don’t want people’s votes. Making people despise you isn’t working.
Found the “secret” conservative. Peddle your dumb rhetoric elsewhere, convervatives have been more hateful and despiseable for decades. Reasonable people are fed up with fascists trying to lie, cheat, and bully their way into everything, we’re totally allowed to be angry and it’s valid to express that. When Biden won, you assholes were so mad, the internet blew up with dumb right wing memes, “He StOlE ThE ElEcTiOn!!! So UnFaIr!!!” Fuck off.
