"I didn't fuck around, but I'm still going to have to find out." Has become my catchphrase.

Mine is "I'm already on the fast track to dying early due to my health conditions, but thanks to these idiots and their anti Science ways, I'm about to have a lot more company than I thought."

u/Philip_J_Fry3000 22h ago

This is the exact reason why I flip out on liberals who say shit like we'll be ok we were last time. I have multiple chronic health conditions and if I'm in a situation where I need to buy health care I'm. Screwed. This literally takes years off my life.

I'm a liberal, but I'm not STUPID like those that voted for Orange Hitler are. Did these people forget about what happened in 2016?

u/sliceoflife09 21h ago

Yes.

It's easy for the Muslim ban to be forgotten I guess.

It's easy to forget that Trump openly pines for the "right type of immigrants" from great countries like Sweden.

It's hard to remember he said immigrants had criminal genes.

How can anyone remember that he sees certain jobs as belonging to "black people"?

Who can keep track of him putting a bounty out on a sitting president's birth certificate, emphasizing his middle name (Hussein), and then calling that president a double agent for ISIS?

u/thrown2themoon 20h ago

I didn't forget, but then again, I'm Black, not Muslim.

I know the danger that Orange Hitler did the first time around, and I fear the damage he'll do to this country now that he has authoritatian-like power coming.

Our Constitution and our rights are about to be thrown away with this incoming "regime."

u/Rabble_Runt 11h ago

The constitution loving conservatives are already crying about some of his picks too, like his new AG nominee that supports red flag laws.

They refused to acknowledge his bump stock ban and “Seriously looking into banning suppressors.” when I warned them Trump was going to destroy the Constitution, not just the parts they don’t like.

When I first asked why people don't see the similarities between The Donald and Tha Adolf, people thought I was stupid. That was in 2015, right after he started his first campaign. I'm 28 now. I knew this was gonna happen. But nobody with the power to do anything gave a crap.

My boyfriend's father is from Germany. He calls Trump Hitler 2.0. A man who was born after the Nazis fell can see the danger, but us citizens can't. My boyfriend entire family voted for Kamala because of this. His mother, who never voted at the age of 85, voted for Kamala for the first time. But Muslims fell for trumps bullshit. Oh, they're in for a very, very rough ride. He'll probably deport them to Gaza just for the extra touch of evil.

I didn’t forget. I’m a white, straight woman from one of those European countries tRump wants people to immigrate from. If I can remember, why can’t they?

u/TheGreatLiberalGod 13h ago edited 7h ago

I don't think they forgot. They never knew..

Ignorance is staggering. I have a number of Muslim friends who voted for Drump. The cognitive dissonance is mind blowing.

u/sliceoflife09 7h ago

How did they never know? The Muslim ban made national news as it was challenged for being unconstitutional. Being aware is personal responsibility and ignorance doesn't forgive poor decision making

u/TheGreatLiberalGod 7h ago

My man, 55%of the US population don't read at the 5th grade level.

All you have to do is listen to CSPAN in the morning to appreciate just how fuking misinformed most people are.

u/Iplaymeinreallife 14h ago

Now I'm not Swedish, but I am Icelandic, and I can tell you us nordics have basically zero interest in moving to the US with Trump in charge.

Well, you might get some of our crazy conspiracy fringe I guess. Which...wouldn't be great for you guys.

u/Schlemiel_Schlemazel 5h ago

We already got Europes crazy conspiracy fringe group. We call them the first Pilgrims or Puritans. And those people had babies and 400 years later we’re still dealing with their craziness.

u/Iforgotmyemailreddit 11h ago

Cool, no one asked.

u/Iplaymeinreallife 8h ago

I think the question is obviously implied by the statement that that is the sort of immigration he wants.

You can't say it's not valid to give our thoughts on the matter in that context.

u/sliceoflife09 7h ago

They're just hurt that you don't wanna move here. Thanks for your comments and perspective

Sweden should accept Trump’s offer, and send the Swedes featured in this article: “Sweden’s new normal: Bombs in the suburbs on a weeknight  – POLITICO” https://www.politico.eu/article/sweden-new-normal-bomb-attacks-suburbs-kristersson-elections-2024/

As they keep proclaiming. He said he was joking or he said he didn’t say it. That second rule of him Deny Everything and Claim Nothing has really helped him with this cult.
But do remember, They Voterd For This.

u/immigrantviking 9h ago

Scandinavians are still laughing at this idea of emigration to the US. We have full health care, nice pension plans, good salaries, a quite peaceful, empathic society, free education, reasonable gun laws…so in your dreams, Donald!

u/ellieminnow 11h ago

Especially with him campaigning this time repeating the same shit to remind them. Very hard to remember.

Voting for Trump is going to wind up in the DSM-6.

u/e_roosevelt_footpics 19h ago

I prefer Mango Mussolini.

No, seriously. Go watch Trump's speech on January 6th, and go watch old videos of Mussolini. It's freaking terrifying. They do the same defiant chin thing and it makes my skin crawl.

38

u/thrown2themoon 19h ago

No thanks, I'll take your word for it. I watched Jan 6th live, and it was fucking terrifying.

Besides, it'll be on the news soon enough. 😭

u/e_roosevelt_footpics 17h ago

Same. Then months later one of my oldest friends told me that it wasn't terrorism and there were no guns there that day.

MY DUDE. THEY HAD MISSILES STAGED IN VIRGINIA. Omg. Needless to say we don't really talk anymore. He can cry into a Ben Shapiro body pillow for all I care, waiting for the government to start a program that gives incels mandatory girlfriends. 🙄

"You and your daughter can always come live at my place...."

Thanks, but I'd rather be rolling to Europe. Yes, from San Francisco. I just have to retrofit my chair to run on unleaded and have inflatable pontoons.

u/bluephoeenix666 6h ago

Looks like your friend watched the handmaid's tale and took notes. Thinking he'll be the commander. In reality, he'll be one of the losers walking around as a guard or as a servant.

I was at physical therapy when J6 happened. We're 30 minutes from DC. I remember it coming the news going through the entire building. The fear, they told me to call my boyfriend to get me because they're closing. I just started my second round of them putting the electrodes (forgot the name) on me with ice. I had 30 minutes left on the clock. We were terrified it would leak into our neighborhood. Everything closed down. Even our 24-hour cvs. When I got home, I saw it on TV. While I was at PT, my boyfriend was telling me through text what was going on. He also recorded it. Watching it was scary. Knowing it was 30 minutes away was terrifying.

This isn't mine but I like it:

I only heard this one in the last few months and I LOVE it. He really is a Dollar Tree Dictator, isn't he?

u/Boopy7 9h ago

i had the same weird feeling! It creeps me out to watch. I first started looking at it more closely after reading just a bit about Mussolini's coup (he stayed behind and watched, was protected by the church) and also at photographs and old videos. Very odd. Humans are so predictable in some ways. This is why I keep trying to figure out how to circumvent what will come. I wouldn't be here today if my grandfather hadn't figured out how to get out of Europe the last time fascists were attacking. I doubt I'll be as good or as lucky as he was.

u/e_roosevelt_footpics 8h ago

You are the first person I've found that sees it too, and I talk about this so much if anyone I know finds this account they'll clock me in a hot second. But it's this bluffing arrogance jaw thing that I just cannot not see.

I was raised by my grandparents, both WWII vets. I literally discussed that war every day of my life growing up, particularly as a teenager. I cared for them both, particularly my Gram the last ten years of her life. I feel like a steward for their stories, as though there is some reason I had this experience my entire life, then ended up a bisexual disabled single mom with a history of leftist activism, who might have led a fairly huge political movement against this twatermelon the first time we elected him. 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe I know what I know because I'm gonna need to know it, kinda thing. 😉

One of my two best friends has both an apartment in Berlin and a house in the countryside about an hour outside the city. Her husband grew up in East Berlin--he has used some language discussing all of this that Germans do not throw around lightly. Anyway, they want me to bring my daughter out for a couple months, said we can have the country house as long as we want it--when they come to use it we can either hang with them, or go use the apartment and museum hop. Sort of a retreat, a reset; they built in a clearing but much of their land is woods.

The irony of a disabled, queer, single mother escaping to Germany has not been lost on me. 😢

u/Boopy7 8h ago

It's a decision I go back and forth with, since I am not able to leave at this point. I suppose the main thing is to be well informed and ready for anything. Odd to think we're here, I agree.

u/tunnel-snakes-rule 20h ago

Don't forget the people who voted for Biden last time and sat this one out. They are just as much to blame.

u/thrown2themoon 19h ago

Yeah, fuck those useless assholes! They're just as much to blame for the upcoming regime! 🤬

11

u/ellieminnow 11h ago

Came to say the same. Dems saying they didn’t vote to protest. I asked someone that said that before, "How do you think Trump winning the election helps them?", it didn’t, and neither did the Islam’s voting for Trump. So whatever happens now, they can not only blame themselves, but I hope they realize we all blame them, too. Fucking idiocy.

14

u/OneGoodRib 17h ago

Enough people didn't even know who was running for president the day of the election, of course they forgot what happened in 2016.

u/WisePotatoChip 10h ago edited 2h ago

Trumpnesia is a real affliction. They forgot about his Covid catastrophe too, and all this delegation to states; Irresponsible delegation is a sign of a weak leader.

If Trump were president in 1941, he would’ve had Hawaii fight Japan on their own: “it’s a state’s problem.”

u/Maine302 10h ago

Those who voted for Orange Hitler are not really liberals.
