The idea that someone just stumbles their way in to a presidency is wild. It's also ableist to blame his bigotry and oppressive actions on how intelligent you think he is, that has nothing to do with it.

So I'll reiterate - the fact that anyone can still think that what's happening is accidental or not thought out is frankly more than concerning, it's scary.

These people are following a playbook, they've got their own playbook for fucks sake, and they will do as much damage as they fucking can deliberately and with forethought. Pretending otherwise because it's easier to punch down and dismiss him as "dumb" than to confront the reality of things and punch up at a much bigger and scarier target is counterproductive.

Trump – too dumb to know that water doesn’t flow uphill.

The fact that people still think he doesn't know what he's doing (or his advisers, anyway) is concerning. None of this is accidental, it is all about manipulation of the food supply and economy, and deliberately worsening living conditions for most people to make us even easier to exploit and oppress.

Yup, and in his specific case not just for profit, but for a place at the "big boys table" along with who I can only assume are his idols, musk and zuc.

even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.

What makes you think he cares, or that it makes any difference? He's steamrolling ahead regardless and most of people in his way seem much happier to bend their knee than to resist in any meaningful way.

There's good reason we say you can't vote fascism away.

Nah, none of that stuff matters!

No, not to him, that's the point.

How much more deliberate in their oppressing and exploiting do those in power need to be before people stop expecting any different?

They're there to serve themselves, not society

And bend his knee faster than you can blink

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

If only they would do the rest of us the courtesy of visibly branding themselves like that..

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

I would say they are very much the ones who opened the gate to the cage and waved the outsiders in, lets not pretend as if they just removed themselves.

Lol, it blows my mind that anyone could still have any confidence left in any MP.

They don't give a shit about you or the planet

I can see why you saved that, that's very well said.
