Honestly, this should’ve been the end of it. No sane country would elect someone that said this as their president
TRUMP

We are fundamentally broken. It doesn’t matter. It’s been a facade the whole time.
He is america. A racist misogynist bully.
I’m going to blame reconstruction failing. We never corrected the hypocrisy at our core and this is the result.
whoisearth@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Amen. Trump is showing the world what America truly is. The rest of the world sees this. Many Americans do not.
And to throw an olive branch, many countries are a Trump away from the same realization.

Who is “we”? You had some big part in this? Stop blaming yourself and please stop blaming me. The nationalist “we” is garbage.

As well as when he made fun of the journalist who was in a wheelchair. I remember seeing that and I thought it was completely over for him, but no.

A significant portion of American voters: “Heh, NICE! I wish I was famous.”
Heikki2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That significant portion dont realize they are closer to 0 than they are a 100k-inair

Sane you say?

The Onion, if they were writing this (instead of it being actual) would have made it better reading, less disgusting.
Wilco@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
It really should have been. The “conservatives” are not religious or conservative, they are disgusting. The “conservative” republican party is way WAY too liberal for my tastes. We should start calling republicans the “libs”, because they are.

You sound like someone who still believes a party what doesn’t blab about it’s cruelties, wrongdoing and stupidity is a party that is innocent and good. Haha, good one. Who has been the opponent of trump the first time around in 2016, Hillary Clinton, right? Personally I always welcomed trumps presidency. Thanks to him the whole world can see what a farce our democracies are (and it’s not only the MAGAs I talk about). And as Europeans it enabled us to distance ourselves more easily from the forced western dependency/decadency. I just don’t know what’s better: being a US colony as before or the recent stupidity, having a straight-from-BlackRock-lobbyist as a chancellor… Darn, and that’s one of the reason why people become more and more aggressive while becoming decreasingly tolerant to differing world views…

Trying to remember the sound of the recording because I’ll never get over how “I moved on her like a bitch” does not read the way he intended
KingPapaDaddy@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Remember when Christians called for Clinton to resign because he was unfit to be president because he got a BJ from an intern? Those same Christians voted for Trump.

Hypocrisy is dead under the republicans.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s because they can’t spell it
Tinidril@midwest.social 10 months ago
Absolutely true. However, it hardly looks any better for Democrats. Bill Clinton is barely any better than Trump, and yet he is still revered in party circles.
Also, Democratic party elites have yet to back Mamdani in NY which is defacto support for Cuomo who has the same kind of track record.
This isn’t a Republican problem, it’s a wealthy elites problem.
falseWhite@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Or is it the other way around?
Hypocrisy among republicans is the highest it ever been.
musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 10 months ago
All of it is about control, it has nothing to do with logic. If you understand this, fighting these idiots becomes much easier. You’re not dealing with reasonable adults, you’re dealing with a bunch of giant upset babies that don’t want to get sent to their room.

Was this an excerpt from his Nobel Peace Prize award speech?
pyre@lemmy.world 10 months ago
friendly reminder that they ended Howard Dean’s presidential campaign because he got a bit impassioned in one of his speeches and said “Hyah!” a bit awkwardly. that was too weird for a presidential candidate.

Here’s the original conversation if anyone is interested. Reading all the “that is just what men do” comments makes me wanna barf.

It’s just locker room talk man. Perfectly acceptable.
/s
U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
just locker room talk
for me that was maybe the most infuriating response to this whole thing. from women no less.
i’ve been in many locker rooms, with other dudes, and have never once talked about sexually assaulting women, joking or otherwise
Huschke@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The good thing is that in hindsight we can be pretty sure that it was mostly bots. The sad part is that it worked.
falseWhite@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Nope, pretty certain everyone who voted for that fucker do believe that it’s perfectly okay what he did.

Did he actually say that? Lol
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes. It’s outrageous.
pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Yep. This came out during his first election and they still voted for him
buttnugget@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There is an audio recording of it. He was talking to Billy Bush.
myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Y’all are just taking it out of context. Like that Fox News host that said kill the homeless.

If I wanted to protest in the US, I would put that quote on tshirts and have everyone buy it. It would make for quite a tv presence…

Lunatics will have insane ideas, that’s a given. It gets dangerous when lunatics get other people on board however.

Yep, we live in a rape culture. Why else would a rapist president be promoting a rapist holiday?
Huschke@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, when you guys chose to elect that guy, I knew it was over. I knew stuff was only gonna get worse and worse.

It could be an antonym for Terrible Republicans Utilizing Monarchy Power.
slampisko@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Do you mean a backronym?
KonalaKoala@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I wasn’t aware of backronyms, so I fixed it.
buttnugget@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I didn’t hear or remember the first part. Was he talking about a specific woman with the breast implants? Wtf

Seeing the conservative reaction to this was my first realization that we were truly fucked.
degen@midwest.social 10 months ago
Initially: Thank god we can finally stop pretending Trump is a real candidate
Moments later: Oh, oh no
Ten years later: What what what oh shit oh fuck
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Your initial reaction was the only sane path history could have gone down.
DagwoodIII@piefed.social 10 months ago
I have repeated this story numerous times.
After that tape came out, a conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump.
One of the panelists kept using the phrase ‘pussy.’
The conservative woman asked her to please stop using that offensive term.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Shoulda called her a cunt

As a PoC we kinda just go with the flow. Got a few scattered family members that support him for his regressive values but its very fee and far between. For white people j can only imagine, entire families must have had a schism put through them.

What does even “conservative” mean for Americans? For Europeans it means you try to conserve things, or apparently being a moron.
U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
in america, “conservatives” will tell you that they want a return to “traditional values” even though that’s just barely the case in reality.
what maga really wants:
be racist/bigoted with complete impunity
mandatory jesus
own slaves again
failing that, resegregation
tradwife
i’m definitely leaving things out, but you get the idea–pretty much the fantasy is to return to the 1950s
