“The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L.Mencken, 1920
Yay! Finally did it!!
Crap
Onion?
Nope. The actual words of dear leader.
I have thought this was a satirical account, so thanks for setting me straight. I don’t quite know what to say.
So cringe the pope died
Joke of a country
He still hung up on his loss in 2020 and biden, huh
Just realise he’s projecting and just read the capitalised words to see how he feels about himself.
Good thing he said it’s sincere! I was starting to doubt his well wishes.
I just want to say because I see Noone else talking about it, that this Easter fell on 4/20. Not that I really care, but last year there was a bunch of people angry about Easter falling on trans day of visibility. Yet this year it falling on 4/20 (stoner day / hitlers bday) not a peep was made about it. Almost like the hate is the point.

“Laces Out! LACES OUT! LACES OUT! LACES OUT!”
This is the thing that most astonishes me about this timeline.
Even setting aside all the other issues - politics, ideology, constitutionality, the rule of law, integrity, whatever - Trump is so obviously a raving lunatic that I sincerely have no idea how anyone can possibly fail to see it. There’s nothing at all aubtle or obscure about it - he’s bludgeoningly obviously unhinged.
Do people actually not see that? How? Or do they see it and ignore it? Again, how?
Religion is a helluva drug. These people are in a cult.
It certainly takes a lot of brainworm damage to read this and go “yeah, that’s our guy!”. But then I’ve stopped being surprised by the US years ago. The level of lunacy over there is unparalleled.
“The best defense against an unhinged world is a good party with an unhinged leader.”
- Republicans, probably.
Broadly, yeah. I suspect that more or less what it boils down to is that the US, even before Trump, was and is so warped by greed and corruption and built around so many lies that it’s effectively insane, and that’s reflected in its political leadership.
Because most Americans read at about a sixth grade level… And that’s about the level, or lower, that he speaks on.
They’re not really paying attention to him, they’re paying attention to Fox News or newsmax or whatever propaganda channel they prefer.
And, at the end of the day they’re not voting for a person, they’re voting for the big three: abortion, guns, and
racismimmigration. That and “sticking it to the libs”.They bought the bamboozle. They’re in too deep and they can admit they were wrong. So they just double down.
Such a depressingly common character flaw. I wish people would just be able to admit they were wrong about things…
Remember being in your early 20s and having a friend who drank a little too much or would start fights with everyone but somehow still got invited to everything?
Because he’s a really cool guy when you can have a one on one chat with them. He’s just misunderstood.
I think Trump is that friend for a portion of America.
Wife beaters? Listen, I’ll welcome most anyone with open arms, but I draw the line at police officers.
this is literally the kind of writing you would find scribbled over the walls of a serial killer’s basement. the fact that a third of your country looks at that and thinks “yeah that’s my guy” is really indicative of your mental health crisis.
that and having 2 mass shootings a day.
Trump is mentally ill. The United States is on a very dangerous place because of the Republican Party’s spineless membership. They wanted to win and any cost and now threaten every American’s health, wealth, and quite likely any moral highground that it had worldwide.
Yes, he is definitely a psychopath.
What makes it all the worse, unfortunately, is the fact that turbo-capitalism is all about these character trades: limitless greed and selfishness are the name of the game here, rather than empathy and kindness.
That’s why there are so many obvious psychopaths in high positions. If it’s all about profits without consideration for anything else, these people are the perfect match.
…this is real?
Sadly yes
