God save us because Donald and clowns certainly won’t.
Trump hates immigrants, the poor, POCs (and literally everyone else). Every relationship is purely transactional to him. He’s a literal psychopath, and I’m not exaggerating at all.
I still can’t wrap my head around how anyone could have voted for Trump. Even through all his lies, his policies were nothing of value to the average voter. I’ve heard people talk about how they did it for the economy, yet Trump’s policies would only make it so that the economy would crash.
As a European, it was clear from the start that Trump didn’t have the best interest of US citizens at heart. There are now stories of non-white Trump voters being shocked that they and their families are experiencing more racism.
At the end of the day, Trump promised America that import would come with extra fees, that a significant percentage of essential workers would be deported, that healthcare would be more expensive- the list goes on. Unless you’re already extremely rich, voting for Trump would be self-sabotage.
Trump could saw off a child’s head on Fox News and Maga cultists would still support him and say democrats are somehow worse. None of this matters to them and it NEVER will.
They consider anyone who can’t work and help build wealth for the oligarchs to be a burden that they don’t want to pay for. It will be like China where the care of the old is on the backs of their children.
“There are five key areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state: health, law, administration, defense and intelligence.”
“The end of the rule of law gives an authoritarian absolute power, and people — his enemies or scapegoated and/or targeted groups, like undocumented immigrants, will die.”
They will “weaken the United States’ defense by appointing an inexperienced sycophant as Secretary of Defense, disbanding NATO and cuddling with powerful adversaries whose goal is to sabotage our country.”
“While some Trump supporters voted to burn it all down, they should realize one thing, if it all burns down, we burn, too.”
That is the whole point.
They don’t want us dead, they just don’t want us to ever be able to say “no” to them when they abuse us. What’s the point in having billions of dollars if you can’t play fuck/marry/kill in real life?
Got people around me feeling like they are going to get unalived by this president via his ghouls or policies or the outright fact a rapist and man who’s never had a real job in his life gets to play president. What a literal joke this country is.
I think he legally wants to start salting the earth on day 1. He’s not even president yet and the absurdity grows each and every day. He’s pretty much unchecked including the Supreme Court. Look at what these horrible cabinet picks are doing in their departments over there while I’m just minding my business over here. So basically a 4 year cash grab for rich people at the expense of working Americans. He will also likely try to change term limits on the presidency while in office so he can stay in power, like Putin did. When the dust settles he’ll go down in history like Leopold II, Putin, Stalin, Hitler, Caligula…etc. Not revered, but certainly remembered and historical.
I used to always wonder why the right was harping about Civil War all the time. I could never really wrap my head around who exactly would be fighting who. Now I realize it’s a self fulfilling prophecy. The right wants to push everyone until their back is against the wall and real patriots have to defend their country from these fascist tyrants
Trump got nearly the same amount of votes as last election.
It’s the Dems who didn’t care enough to show up to vote this year that is to blame.
Trump is the antithesis of the American dream. He was born with a silver spoon up his ass, inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from daddy, never worked a day in his life, exploited and flouted the laws for decades, sexually abused women and children, is too dumb to make money on casinos and at the end of the day he fucking hates the country that gave him everything and all the people in it.
The world will be a better place on the day they chuck his disgusting, fat ass into the cold clay.
The oligarchy benefits from this kind of chaos because it keeps people too divided and desperate to fight back. Trump’s policies and rhetoric aren’t just authoritarian—they’re a deliberate strategy to destabilize society in ways that make it easier for billionaires and corporations to tighten their grip on power and wealth. Here’s how it works:
**1. Distract with Division:**
Culture wars, fearmongering about marginalized groups, and relentless propaganda are all tools to keep us fighting each other instead of uniting against the real culprits: the oligarchs hoarding resources and rigging the system. While we’re busy debating bathrooms or immigration, they’re walking away with billions.
**2. Destroy Public Institutions:**
Trump’s attacks on science, healthcare, and basic public services are designed to create distrust and dysfunction. When public institutions fail, people are forced to turn to private alternatives—controlled by the very billionaires who helped dismantle those systems. It’s not just cruel; it’s profitable.
**3. Exploit Economic Instability:**
By gutting regulations, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and allowing essential systems to crumble, the oligarchy creates an environment where only the richest can thrive. The rest of us are left scrambling for scraps, which makes it harder to organize, protest, or demand better. Billionaires thrive in chaos because they have the resources to weather it—and profit from it.
**4. Silence Dissent:**
Authoritarianism isn’t just about controlling the government—it’s about controlling the narrative. Trump’s constant attacks on the media, coupled with his allies’ efforts to suppress voting and criminalize protest, are about consolidating power and ensuring the oligarchs face no accountability.
**5. Divide and Conquer:**
The oligarchy doesn’t need everyone to support them—they just need enough people to stay apathetic or divided. By using Trump as a figurehead to stoke rage and fear, they keep the public distracted while they tighten their grip on wealth and resources.
In short, the oligarchs want this chaos because it protects their power. A desperate, divided population is easier to exploit. And make no mistake—Trump is their perfect tool: a man obsessed with power, loyalty, and wealth, willing to burn everything down so long as he gets to sit on top of the ashes.
A lot of us are Americans are dumber than skunks.
My main question is: I’m aware that emigrating is complicated and out of the realm of possibility for most Americans, but at what point does it get bad enough that folks can start fleeing by seeking asylum?
It’s clear that trump wants to keep Americans poor so they can take that money and give it to the richest people in the country. Just look at tariffs, they are designed as a tax for the American people. The government takes that money that YOU are paying just to keep his promise to the 1% to decrease their taxes. The deportations are going to put a huge strain on the economy and farmers who will need another few billion dollar bailout soon enough. Healthcare for millions will be stripped away, making more people go into bankruptcy to pay outrageous medical bills or just straight die. Don’t even get me on gutting the department of education. Just look at 2020 and how covid was handled. Trump let hundreds of thousands die because he just doesn’t give a fuck about you. All the federal job cuts, tariffs, deportations and gutting of the ACA is all designed to hurt Americans as much as possible. It’s by design.
People literally voted to die in poverty to own the libs.
What the heck is this clickbait title? Honestly anyone who knows, knows, and those who don’t, don’t care or can’t understand. What type of audience are they trying to capture?
**He tried to kill us last time**
He tried to weaponize Covid against “blue cities”.
Of fucking course he’s trying to kill us.
I don’t think he’s trying to kill us really.
I think he doesn’t care AT ALL about us. He only cares what’s good for him. If it was in his best interest to save every life, he would. If it was in his best interest to have half of americans killed, he would.
We saw that already in the pandemic. Every single decision he was made was based on what was good for him. There was never a consideration about human life in his head. He cared about himself.
In fact, it’s pretty much been shown that he had more concrete plans to slow the pandemic at the start. And when it started to spread… it spread at first only in BLUE states, therefore he cancelled some plans, because to him, being able to say “Haha! Blue state governors are screwing up, and red states are fine!!” was beneficial. He literally let americans die for his own twisted PR campaign.
So does he actively want to kill us? Probably not. But would he let us all die if it made him look good on Fox News that night? Absolutely.
‘Expert’ ?
Don’t forget H1N1 which is steps from becoming a deadly human pandemic, the response to which will now be bungled.
Conservative voters need to cut the shit and wake up. Republicans are keeping y’all locked into these culture wars and identity politics. The real battle is the class war, y’all are getting distracted because they’ve tricked you into believing that seeing Black, brown, and gay people have any decent quality of life means you have suffer.
If the wealthy cared about any of us, why haven’t those wages trickled down? These corps hit record profits and CEO’s get ridiculous bonuses every year, meanwhile Walmart will walk their employees through the process to sign up for welfare.
Thinking Elon Musk and Trump give a shit about you is actually pathetic
One reason the orange menace feels he has the freedom to ‘burn down the country’ is the backing he got from those is rural white America who gave him permission by voting for him time and time again. Why do they vote for a convicted felon and known rapist? They’ve been whipped in to a frenzy of rage by their local politicians whose only job is to keep their blood boiling. Not to do anything for them. If anyone constituent complains they are getting nothing from DC they are lied to and told it’s the fault of the coastal elite or the Democrats or Biden or some other fall person.
Those of us with our sanity intact and our critical thinking skills energized need to somehow reach out to this base and ask them what they need for their communities. Then point out they are not being served by the people they elected. This is not a short term strategy. If there’s any hope for any kind of stable future this action must start now. There might be a difference in the 2026 election. Changing people’s minds is a long tedious struggle so why are we waiting. These are the folks who almost 40 years ago were told abortion was a bad thing in order to keep their attention and attendance at church. Up until then no one cared. We have to make them care about clean water, good schools, science and kindness.
Jesus fuck the brain rot. Is Trump a fuckin douche bag? Yes. Am I surprised he some how got elected again? Yes. However this type of extreme hysteria and fear mongering by alleged academics trying to justify their titles as “Authoritarian expert” is kinda how it happened. “OMG HES GONNA KILL US ALL” when dude already served a pretty standard Republican term, except the end bit. Reddit has no connection to reality and neither do these weird online “news” sources.
The entire point of appointing incompetent and corrupt idiots is to consolidate power. History of authoritarians teaches us this. This was always the expected outcome of a second Trump term. The collateral damage is going to be massive and ruthless.
the coming fire is smoldering at this point and who will put it out? none because they are loyal to moron setting the fire
H5N1 will do it
Wrong, trump wants me to work. Certain others would want me to dress and act like a dog to get work enough for me to pay my “bills” to start over again.
i know trump has been sabotaging america, but it’s so extreme now that i can’t help but wonder if trump is truly dividing america and tearing it up from within.
This sub is literally just straight hysteria propaganda. I don’t understand why it’s even called politics. It’s a gigantic left wing circle jerk.
Yall ever think that maybe these bonkers headlines aren’t helping to convince people that your message should be taken seriously?
I said something about this on another thread. I will paraphrase and expand on it here.
Trump got more of a thrill than anything else in his whole privileged life by being at the helm while a million Americans died of COVID on his watch. Everything up to this point in his life: the rich upbringing, the huge daddy loan, the real estate, the casinos, the sexual assaults… they were each a much shorter ‘high’ for him. (Side note; it’s why he is a repeat offender, and in general very repetitive.)
Anyhow, this was a pretty sustained high. I’m certain he was way more tuned in to the death numbers than he let on, as he had to (clumsily) hide his considerable glee.
And then he lost the election. And worse, COVID subsided somewhat, and was very much under someone else’s purview. and it did not take long for Trump to realize that the high was GONE.
I really believe, now that he has had a taste of this biggest high, and knows how to get it back, that he is existentially dangerous now.
I’m at the point now where I’d just as soon watch it all crash and burn. Fuck around needs to find out in this country.
Too many people directly vote against their own interests because they willfully surround themselves with what sounds good in the echo chamber. If it all comes screeching to a halt then maybe (just maybe) more people will actually look at what their choices have wrought.
Probably not though. I think the politics in this country are making me bitter.
