RGB3x3,

Say Trump gets his wish and becomes authoritarian leader of the US, the god-king his voters want.

When he dies in less than 10 years, who’s going to take his place? What’s the end goal for the Republicans after Trump? Do they even have one? (Probably not).

refurbishedrefurbisher,

Probably nepotism will apply and one of his kids will take over. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump Jr was Trump’s VP pick.

Son_of_dad,

Ivanka is the best political Trump. His boys are utterly unlikeable, she can say least pass off as human like

refurbishedrefurbisher,

And with how much Trump likes her…

When he dies in less than 10 years,

Have you sen him lately? I bet he doesn't last 4 years at the rate he's shoveling the amphetamines into his face hole.

Someone got 1000 tabs of ProVigil from the White House pharmacy under Trump's watch & I bet it was President Meth-head himself.

In fairness last I knew provigil isn't anything like an amphetamine and has surprisingly few side effects.

It might be the latest and greatest but it still has the hallmarks of stimulants. Namely euphoria and anxiety, two feelings I'd prefer a president to have under control and only experience in the right circumstances.

Drusas,

I take it for narcolepsy and it absolutely does not cause euphoria (or anxiety for me).

Anecdotal evidence doesn't prove the FDAs statements are incorrect, especially given that you're given it for a condition and not popping them for funsies.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Lol if you think Republicans don’t have a plan, you’re not paying attention. Those people are crafty motherfuckers.

NoneOfUrBusiness,

I mean yes but recently there are also true believers. People like MGT (I think that was her name?) aren't any craftier than a rock.

Rivalarrival,

We have precedent on how to deal with people who act like King George.

billiam0202,

We’re already at the “wait for them to lose their mind” stage!

Eh, King George wasn't immune. We have this supervirus called Revolutionary War.

paddirn,

Apparently Trump must’ve been a fan of Hamilton and liked that “You’ll Be Back” song so much that he wanted to Make America Monarchal Again.

"Trump's Secret Plan to Expand Biden's Presidential Immunity To 'King George' Levels"

YurkshireLad,

He wants to be like his hero, Putin.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

No, he wants to be like his hero, Hitler.

philo,

I could never understand these things calling anything secret. If they truly are secret, how the hell did they write an article about it?

Telorand,

Probably just clickbait phrasing. There’s an alarming number of people who don’t know what Project 2025 entails or that he has been paraphrasing Hitler, but putting those things on a headline likely doesn’t get people to engage as much as, “Hey, wanna know a secret about Trump?”

And towards the ends of educating the public about the real threat Trump poses, I’ll allow a little clickbait to get them to pay attention.

The Madness of King Donald

BigMacHole,

Just like with School Shootings this is EXACTLY what the Founders intended!

Nudding,

They were also into owning people and women having no rights so who gives a fuck what they thought?

djsoren19,

Yeah I dunno where this idea of whitewashing the Founding Fathers as unequivocal good guys came from. They fucking sucked, most of them were morally bankrupt businessmen who would love Trump. These are the kinda idiots who saddled us with the Electoral College because “the general public couldn’t be trusted to choose their own leaders”, let’s stop pretending like they founded America as a stroke of genius with perfect systems.

They fucking sucked, most of them were morally bankrupt businessmen who would love Trump.

It's pretty much impossible to support the idea that the Founding Fathers were "morally bankrupt". There is no unmoving foundation of morality that remains unchanged throughout human history, and judging historical figures from over 200 years ago by today's moral standards simply makes no sense.

Were they immoral by today's standards? Yes, absolutely. Where they immoral by 19th century standards? I'd say they were about average, but I'm not from that time so I couldn't say for sure.

Nudding,

You know there were people around back then who were against slavery, right? Lol

BaldProphet,
BaldProphet avatar

Yes, even some of the founding fathers. For example, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and other Framers of the Constitution were abolitionists.

Nudding,

Yeah they must have been super against it lol.

GiuseppeAndTheYeti,

“secret”

He’s been announcing his intentions over loudspeakers for the last decade.

Rentlar,

apparently it was secret because his followers said “It’s just a joke bro” after each time.

Trump boot lickers really want a monarch

Telorand,

They’re afraid and ignorant. They feel like society is circling the drain, and they think an authoritarian is the solution.

Jaysyn,
Jaysyn avatar

Ironically, society is circling the drain because US capitalism is an authoritarianly structured system.

Telorand,

Agreed, but don’t discount the role of religion in that equation, either.

    That ignores people’s very real anxiety over wage stagnation, inflation on food and housing, and a health care system that is functionally broken. Normally we would just start a war somewhere and direct that energy towards brown people halfway around the world. With no war, it’s being directed at ‘others’ domestically.

    Theprogressivist,
    @Theprogressivist@lemmy.world avatar

    None of these issues matter to MAGA. It’s all about culture wars.

    ashok36,

    The culture wars are an outward expression of the anxiety and fear they live with because their economic destiny has been derailed and the value of their labor has been stolen from them. They’re lashing out because they’re unhappy and they’re unhappy because they’ve been screwed. They’re just too indoctrinated to see that we have all been screwed together.

    dhork,

    At the end of the day, though, they don’t mind getting screwed as long as they can see that people they hate are getting screwed too.

    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    They don’t even make a secret of it. r/The_Donald called him “God emperor” all the time. And they weren’t joking even if they claimed they were.

    MagicShel,

    I will never believe the whole thing (Trump) didn’t start out as a joke like Boaty McBoatface, which was so preposterous, so bonkers that it went viral and a bunch of out of touch idiots didn’t get the humor and took out all as a serious movement and then made it one. I think it’s mass delusion.

    @PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

    It was a coordinated sci ops. The_donald popped up practically overnight and pushed its way to the top of Reddit as a “joke” subreddit and it gradually got worse from there.

    Passerby6497,

    coordinated sci ops

    Coordinated science operations are well above anything that the_dipshit could put together

    MagicShel, (edited )

    It has to be just meme fuckery. It had to be. He was the most unserious candidate ever. He fucking asked a geopolitical rival for help hacking our institutions of democracy on live fucking tv! He’s a fucking joke candidate followed by people who don’t even know they got played by Trump and 4chan and this Q chucklefuck. Trump is supported by a Batman villain with a fucking Nixon tattoo. This is comedy. This is farce! Well fucking played, assholes. You got us. You got us fucking good.

    And these morons with room temperature IQs are so fucking illiterate that they are incapable of recognizing the rank irony. Fuck even Trump, on the eve of his election victory, you could see it on his face - he was thinking “what have you stupid motherfuckers done? I just wanted to drum up the name recognition and net worth!”

    I just can’t take that fucking turnip seriously.

    SpaceNoodle,

    Dipshits have been worshipping Trump as a business genius for decades.

    I might have believed before he began loudly proclaiming what a giant moron and narcissist he is for the last decade.

    rayyy,

    Weak people crave to be dictated

    metallic_substance,

    A subset are also salivating for a leader that will make the lives of brown people harder

    CodeName,

    Some of them really just want to own the libs. A trump dictatorship? Totally owns the libs. Mention the possibility of an Obama dictatorship in response? They’ll freak out and start blabbing about our sacred democracy. They have no consistent beliefs.

    KevonLooney,

    They want to be on top. That’s their belief. Don’t try to make sense of anything, because most of their complaints are just “waaahh! I want this smelly old fatass to be president!” That’s it.

    TheDarkKnight,

    That’s because they can’t rule by consensus

    SinningStromgald,

    He just hopes the courts rule in his favor and Biden is to much of a pussy to have him wacked. Which Biden should be planning now just in case if he’s smart.

    Jaysyn,

    Why would Dark Brandon stop at Trump?

    SinningStromgald,

    Good point. DB needs to be readying the nukes. None shall stand in DB’s way! NONE!
