I’m cheering for the bruise on his hand.

Clot! Clot! Clot! Clot!

Clot 2026 is a platform I’d donate to.

You think president Vance would suddenly turn things around? The same puppetmasters are still pulling the strings.
PhoenixDog@piefed.ca · 32 pts · 233d
Maga doesn't dance for Vance. He's a useless piece of crap for the MAGA movement.
NotSteve_@piefed.ca · 19 pts · 233d
MAGA dances for whatever the hell they tell them to dance for. It's a cult and it's way far too gone for any one thing to snap them out of
harmbugler@piefed.social · 7 pts · 233d
It's mostly a cult of personality. With any luck, when Trump dies MAGA dies.

I don't believe they wouldn't really behind him or anybody else who steps in immediately to keep the fascism and white nationalism going
homes@piefed.world · 10 pts · 233d
He’s such a cowardly weenie, he’d almost certainly be completely useless. And while he may be a giant piece of shit, at least he’s not completely bonkers like Trump.

Dude doesn't even know his own name, are we sure about that?
Whostosay@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 233d
Ain't no one listening to a homophobic douche with permanent eye liner
Dude couldn't even master ordering donuts or come up with a better campaign than ordering donuts ineffectively

How long have you worked here? Oh, great.

What are we talking about
Well fuck. I had a second to stew on it, and that is a direct quote.

It wouldn't turn things around, or even solve most problems, but it sure would solve one problem.
Goodeye8@piefed.social · 8 pts · 233d
Trump is a piece of shit but he's got charm, he's got presence and people listen to him. He can straight up say shit that is factually untrue and his base will go "he's right you know".
JD Vance however is about as charming as a reddit mod. When he speaks people wish there was a mute button. The couch he fucks is more charming than him. Unless he goes through some transformation that makes him at the very least presentable Trumps base is going to turn on him. They're not going to listen to that ventriloquist puppet.

You think this trajectory we're on can get worse?
RunningInRVA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 233d
Trick question?
TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 233d
It's not over yet and I suspect it will be getting much worse.
DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com · 6 pts · 233d
Supposedly, that's from an injection. The culprits are his swollen ankles, or at least a good indicator of the culprit.
AlexLost@lemmy.world · 39 pts · 233d
The guy doing unpopular things thinks we should not have anymore popularity contests. Hmmm...
grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one · 30 pts · 233d
We shouldn’t even have a Trump, any Trump
GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 233d
Well we shouldn’t even have him in the White House but here we are.
duncan_bayne@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 233d
Is he campaigning for the Democrats now?

The media will downplay this as a joke, then they will normalize it as "what if..." and then it will actually happen.
Soup@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 233d
And then the population will go “damn, fuck that guy! Anyway…”
floofloof@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 233d
And then the media will carry endless pieces debating "both sides" of the elections vs dictatorship issue. Although they won't call it dictatorship: they'll call it whatever Stephen Miller decides it should be called.

All House seats and about 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for election each midterm cycle. Even if the midterms were delayed, all those seats expire at the end of their term regardless.
Typhoon@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 232d
Until Trump commands otherwise and his followers and the media go along with it and ICE kidnaps anyone who shows up to take their seat. Then what?
Do not put all your hopes on midterms saving you. Action needs to be taken now or there won't be anything left.

People like you suck

With dems busy repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot, he'll probably make it to 2028.
bearboiblake@pawb.social · 16 pts · 233d
He could be out by the end of this weekend if the working class got organized and just forced him out. Fuck the dems, we can't wait for them, and we don't need them. They voted to expand the military industrial complex, they protected the billionaire class and did their bidding for decades. Republicans are nazis and democrats are nazi enablers. We need to remove the whole bunch from power.

"Are we there yet?"
rumba@lemmy.zip · 9 pts · 232d
Let there be no mistake: he's testing the water not to see if he's going to do some authoritarian shit to stop midterms, but to see how bad it's going to be.
adespoton@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 233d
I think he misspelled that last word.
unphazed@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 233d
A lot of victims would certainly love to ensure that never happened again.
JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 233d
Whats he worried about? Have his minions manufacture another distraction and half of the dem voters will sit it out again. Maybe he.could collaborate as a guest on the kardashians or something.
regedit@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 233d
Too bad you orange shit-stain. You'll lose more than your majority this year. Get absolutely fucked!
DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 233d
Dear Trump, we should have an election - in fact, the midterm elections are for this year. Enjoy what little time you have left in your second nonconsecutive terms, you orange tan-ridden lump of cluelessness. Sincerely, Dilly.

Reverse psychology might be effective at increasing voter turnout.
floofloof@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 232d
If an election is held.
fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 232d
What a bozo.
floofloof@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 232d
I think it's a real threat, not just a dumb thing to say.
