And just like that, 35% of Americans are now cheering for Iran.
PenguinMage@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 226d
35? I feel like that's a low ball... though the sad fact is if it happened shit would probably get a lot worse real fast.
ByteJunk@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 226d
That's about how I picture America - 35% now love Iran, other 35% are outraged out of their minds and think that Trump should nuke Iran, and the rest think iRan is a fitness app and instantly blocked that source of ads.

Yeah thinking rationally we are much better off just winning the mid terms and making him a lame duck.

Trump won't be a lame duck though, he doesn't care about Congressional approval or the Constitution.

True, it does depend on Congress doing its job. Which is only somewhat more likely with a Democrat majority.
youngGoku@lemmy.world · 56 pts · 226d
I don't normally like seeing violence / gore. It makes me queezy and upset. I don't click on NSFL links ever.
But I would watch this. If the current potus was assassinated by someone (especially a foreign contract for hire), and it was captured on video, I would watch it on repeat, at various speeds, and I would relish in his pain as he capitulates to the cold clutch of death's grip.
I would save the video and revisit it from time to time as a reminder that sometimes people do get what they deserve.
bold_atlas@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 226d
With such a video I'd definitely be recreating the NSFW version of Kevin Costner's famous scene in the movie JFK every night.

I don't want Trump to die. I think a fitting end to him would be jail time, then a stroke rendering his body crippled but his mind as fit as it can be.
Him sitting alone, with no good way to communicate, in a prison of his own mind, in prison getting smacked around by other inmates makes me happy.

Iranian Religious figures already declared a fatwa against Trump declaring him an enemy of the religion and posting a bounty that's already like 40M dollars for his execution.
You could probably donate to that bounty, although I am sure if you are a US citizen it runs afoul of some domestic laws.

People forgetting even if Trump will be or had been assassinated, Vance would just take his place and continue the train. Besides, Iran has been claiming they can do this since forever with nothing to show for it.
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 45 pts · 226d
The hope is Vance doesn’t have the charisma to keep the cult together.
Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 15 pts · 226d
Neither does Trump. I don't know where the argument that he has some kind of Magic Secret Fascism Sauce comes from. Republicans fucking love idiots and have been rabidly supporting them for decades now, and they'll blindly follow Vance just like they're blindly following Trump. It could be a sentient mop with a bucket hat, they literally do not care. Trump didn't win the election, project 2025 did.
snooggums@piefed.world · 10 pts · 226d
Charisma isn't a universal thing, it is about appealing to a large chunk of the population but not the population as a while. In this case he has been the face for the fascist MAGA movement for like a decade now with people who constantly ignore how his policies harm them directly and still support him. He has charisma when it comes to hateful morons who want to hear a fat old white dude spout the racist shit in their heads without any kind of moral compass that would lead to being embarrassed.
They won't follow Vance because Vance doesn't have the same belligerent and arrogant delivery despite saying the same hateful stuff because it is clear Vance is a try hard spineless wanna be grifter and not someone who has been an entitled shit their entire lives because they were born into wealth. Vance isn't the strongman that the Republican party has been stoked to follow.

He doesn't need to, he's already elected and he's been awarded god powers to do whatever he wants...by the SCROTUS.

Fine, that's a good point, I hope so. But like the other comment says: trump is just a way for them to wash their guilt away, it could be anyone and they'll still oblige and then you'll find out that they weren't being forced by anyone all along.

newthrowaway20@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 226d
To be a martyr you typically have to believe in something bigger than yourself. Trump can't do that. He's too self serving and everyone around him knows it because they wanna be just like him. He could get killed and people might try to make him a martyr, but he only pushes division and hatred and self enrichment, good luck getting anyone aside from the proud boys to rally behind that. They tried to do it with Charlie Kirk too and that amounted to fuck all.

"chilling"...
I'm tired of the media calling normal human rights heartwarming and news like this "chilling"
An 80 old woman being able to go on retiremen or a child being able to pay for prosthetic limbs because of charity is not heartwarming. These are the real chilling facts.
An action against a President who does not respect international law should be heartwarming although it's drastic
And yeah.. I might be on a list now and not able to enter the USA... 🤷

I think South Park was onto something here
(Disclaimer/explanation, cause apparently it matters: it's a link to a YouTube clip from the episode of South Park "Put It Down," where President Garritrump keeps tweeting that Tweek, the 4th grade gay school kid with ridiculously high anxiety, will be the one to absolutely wreck North Korea)

I didn't know Tweek was gay. When did this happen?
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 226d
I don’t think Tweet is gay, and neither is Craig. But there’s an episode where the girls are drawing pictures of them together in a gay relationship. Maybe that’s what the commentor is thinking about?
Arkouda@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 226d
It is canon that Tweak and Craig are gay and in a relationship. The episode you are referring to is when it started, but they have been together since.

I think him falling asleep during some televised brief, at a table with a large group, of people would be better.
Hammer in that point he does nothing of use and would have been literally sitting there dead for 20-minutes before anyone noticed.

The military of venezuela, the generals are in charge, not their vice president is my point.
And the vp decrying the us is hardly refusing to play ball. What else are they going to say? They will sign over concessions under the watch of the military, there will be resistance, the military will help crush it, and operated paramilitaries for what they don't want to do directly, like run through villages in areas where they've had attacks on oil infrastructure and run death squads on them, funded with cia backed illegal drug and gun sales.
This is not just random speculation, it's informed by what we spent the entire cold war doing. They filled in the blanks on the template.

Russian dissidents want to leave the war machine and they are banned from visiting European countries to defect.

So I guess fuck those people?
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 225d
It's difficult to know who's a dissident and who's a spy or terrorist.
Iran just threatened to kill the leader of another country. Yeah fuck Trump and all that, but you aren't going to open the doors to anyone from a country that's issuing threats, especially a country that's complicit in a lot of terrorist acts.
Russia is engaged in a sabotage campaign in Europe, so the reasons for blocking Russians from Europe is similar.
