Don't give in to the threats, Dear Leader, be as out in the open as publicly and vulnerably as possible. If you show fear instead of living your life as normal then the terrorists win^TM^! You should definitely take zero precautions against these threats, you certainly won't regret taking zero precautions against these threats.

I want to buy a telescoping flag pole. Forget half mast, I want to be able to fly flags at double mast when someone particularly wicked dies.

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

Do we start a GoFundMe thing now or something to help this along ?

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago

If IRAN kills Trump I'll HATE IRAN FOREVER and BOMB THEM!

-Republicans!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I'm suddenly very pro-Iran. 👀

The disgusting child murdering pedofile lives here

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Conveniently right on the coast, no need to go far inland!

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It'd be like Iron Man 3, but waaaay easier. Y'know hypothetically...

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Dear God somebody needs to take him out. So far it's been all the Republicans taking shots at him and fucking showing up on his properties with guns. They need some backup.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Hey Fates, are you listening? Can we just make the Caesar metaphor completely on the hose and have him be stabbed to death by a group of Republican Senators?

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 7 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

How about this, we root for the Islamic regime of Iran to fall. And we root for Trump to have a massive heart attack and shit himself once again on TV while walking across the stage or maybe down the stairs of Air Force One so he's remembered as the jackass that died on TV.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Can we go for something more Biblical? Maybe struck by lightning immediately after, in an outdoor public speech, denying having any involvement with Epstein?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Trump dies in an Iranian attack, instant martyr.

Trump dies the most embarrassing way possible, not a martyr.

[–] amgine@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I’m sure it’ll turn into a right wing conspiracy where he didn’t actually die or was staged and he’s living with Epstein in Israel

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Why do you want the Islamic regime of Iran to fall and what do you expect takes it's place?

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Homie, they fucking hang people in the street as part of public executions. Do I really need to continue or is this the hill we die on?

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 2 hours ago

That's Saudi Arabia, the ally of USA and Israel. Iran are prudes. They even tried to assassinate Trump in Butler, PA to get him to stop talking about Hannibal Lectar.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, that's what they said about Saddam. And then Iraq had a million dead over the next decade...and ISIS.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Saddam was also a fucking monster. He gassed Kurdish villages.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Again, was ally to USA, ang got those chemical weapons from CIA.

[–] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

We should do the same to the Epstein pedophile. Sounds great to me

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Right but that's hanging people for being a pedophile and not something as light as apostasy.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Any government based in religion is idiotic and deserves to fall.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Fall from within is one thing. Being toppled externally is another entirely.

Governments don't actually get toppled by mobs of protesters storming the palace gates. Machine guns are quite effective at preventing that. They topple when some other individual or faction convinces enough key players in the country that the new guys are a better option. The protesters only storm the gates when the army decides to look the other way. And the army only decides to look the other way when there's some viable alternative to the existing government. No high-ranking general with a retirement to worry about wants to see the state they serve collapse into complete anarchy.

The point of this is that internal revolutions tend to be good for their people. A revolutionary movement can only successfully topple a government when they can make a good case to a lot of powerful people that they can competently manage the gears of state.

But imposed from without? You can invade a place and stick someone on the throne, but they won't have any legitimacy. And that power and legitimacy vacuum leads to sectarian violence and civil wars. Or, as in the case of the Shah, the foreign-imposed leader maintains their position through shear force and barbarity.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I can live with that

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 22 hours ago (14 children)

Wait... Are we all rooting for Iran now?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm rooting for not Trump, just like when I vote.

[–] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 1 points 8 hours ago

I'm rooting for the side I know will win, which is AIPAC. They control members of both parties.

This sounds like something Trump would say, actually.

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 42 points 23 hours ago (9 children)

Oh man, if Iran kills Trump I would be so happy.
