I absolutely promise you that there will come a day when we dream of having the set of problems we are currently dealing with. We will look back at the innocence and care free joy of 2025.
Everything only gets worse. So while today might be the worst day in history, this is the best it’s ever going to be. Remember how bad things were under Bush? Tell me you wouldn’t trade everything to wake up in 2003. In 20 years you will dream of this life.
Not just tRump assets (though they absolutely need to come out of this destitute), but also Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi. They were his circle of evil.
All we had to do is use the emoluments clause, years ago. Oh well, it doesn’t matter now.
Democrats will rehabilitate Trump the moment he’s out of office.

This place is getting worse than Facebook :(
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG THIS IS SO FUNNY HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU MUST BE SOME KIND OF RIGHTOID HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lemmy has such a problem with content genericization.
People making shit posts like this and the hopebait pretending there will magically be punishment and restoration “once this is all over” are part of the problem.
They want to talk like its a foregone conclusion that the evil will fail and the good will prosper, but history has shown us anything but this happening, and we’ve literally seen no signs that they won’t continue getting exactly what they want with only mild delays and roadblocks.
Trump is literally dying in front of us. Once the cult leader falls, there absolutly will be a reckoning. His base is tied to him specifically, not the party.
Wishful thinking. Go watch the videos of bush administration lackeys defending the Iraq war or Abu Graib. They were reelected shortly after all that came out. The conservative and evangelical coalition has always been there and is well beyond trump.
Dems are 100% capable of losing the next election
Trump has outright defied everything the evangelicals stood for. They now only stand for Trump. When he’s gone, they won’t be able to revert and what’s left of the GOP can’t sustain itself as Trump is embedded in everything they do now.
I’m pretty sure they will win, the good cop-bad cop routine will continue as usual.
At least until the dollar collapses. They’re all making a fortune.
No, it’s not tied to him specifically. Why would you think that? There will be a new “Trump” immediately after he’s dead.
It’s easy money, and the blood is in the water.
There will always be a new Hitler. It’s a generational thing. But Trump kind of spent all the social currency the fascists we’re saving up, which is why those all over the world are getting their evil in while they can.
They aren’t anticipating a legacy. They are planning for blowback. So they are doing everything they can hoping some of it survives.
Also, frankly, even if the Trump family was as wealthy as Trump claims. Or had as much physical cash as Elon has assets / investments. It would be a drop in the bucket.
Nations operate on scales that are orders of magnitude larger than any privately owned wealth. That’s kind of the point. This would be like levying a $1000 fine for a billion dollars in damages and expecting it to “be fixed”.
I’m actually willing to believe that between all the bribes and scams they probably do have a lot of money now, but it’s also going to be hidden in places that would be very hard to track down or impossible to retrieve (Russian Banks etc)
This isn’t true, there are a few “old money” families that control international business. Morgan. Rothschild. Rockefeller. They have been acquiring wealth for centuries on a staggering scale. I’m reading about their manipulation of world war one now, it’s disheartening.
None of them can compete with the Catholic church yet, but they’re working on it.
Is the humor thinking America will ever hold any of its actors accountable?
He was more of a sketch comedian turned Senator/podcaster than an actor, but they DID hold Al Franken accountable. Some would say excessively so.
Let’s see, Franken was a fierce advocate for clean energy, consumer protections and regulation on predatory corporations, and comprehensive immigration reform. He was well informed, well spoken, and starting to mount pressure which made the establishment politicians uncomfortable.
Gee, it’s possibly a bit excessive he was forced to resign over allegations of…checks notes…unwanted kisses for photo ops, and a staged photo lining his hands up over a woman’s breasts during a comedy tour.
He should have just grabbed them all by the pussy and told them to shut the hell up if you ask me.
Their disgusting sexual assault
Our cheeky unwanted kiss
How about all 1%ers?
It’s a nice thought, but I don’t think the American people have it in them to punish Donald and his family appropriately.
We didn’t even punish the Confederacy appropriately, and those bastards killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Only two states (Colorado and Maine) removed the insurrectionist from the 2024 ballot. SCOTUS put him back on. It’s either a bipartisan effort to prepare for AI taking entry level work, or complete fear of more J6’s. Given how many politicians they’ve murdered since (that nobody talks about), my money is literally on the bipartisan effort to build infrastructure to house the undesirables-of-the-month as we reach peak enshittification via AI.
If anyone has news on a serious push toward UBI that I’ve missed, feel free to correct me.
the trump admin has killed hundreds of thousands of people
So did Bush and Obama.
Nice whataboutism. What about my ballz in your mouth?
The subject was the US people holding a past president responsible for causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
Pointing out the last 2 presidents did that and weren’t held responsible isn’t whataboutism.
Now go back to sucking off the libs who got us here. If you do a really good job, they might rehabilitate Trump in a few years while maintaining and expanding 98% of his policies like the did Bush.
We’ve learned from that mistake, and won’t make it again. And if our Democratic leaders won’t follow through - AGAIN! - then they can join MAGA when whatever happens happens when the people are forced to take action themselves.
Those who don’t make peaceful revolution possible, make violent revolution inevitable.
Get on board, or get run over.
We’ve learned from that mistake, and won’t make it again.
I don’t mean to sound rude but we’ve been hearing this since, like, forever.
There’s a long line of powerful people who aren’t held accountable.
I hope you do, but we aren’t holding our breathe.
I’ve been following politics as an Unafilliated Independent since the mid-60s, so I definitely understand your cynicism at the prospect of any change. I have held that same attitude for my entire life. However, like it or not, America IS at a crossroads right now, and as long as the citizens are mobilized, they can be steered anywhere. Despite their claims, MAGA does NOT have our future sewn up. Of course they say it, but we don’t have to choose to believe it. They have always been virtuosically incompetent, and wrong about literally EVERYTHING, so there is every reason to believe they can fuck this up, too, unless we simply hand it over to them.
Do we really want to lose to these dumb, fucking APES?
I haven’t seen Americans this mobilized toward their government since the Vietnam protests of the 60s/70s, and most are strongly against MAGA. We are about to have a Midterms that will be a MAGA bloodbath. Dozens of MAGA reps are already quitting because they see it coming, and they don’t want to be caught hanging on Trump’s coattails when the Congressional investigations begin. Plenty more are coming, and the Senate as well.
We have the chance to turn this train down a different track if we can elect new Democratic Warriors, and force the old weaklings to either get in the game or get out of the way, starting with Schmuck Schumer. This is likely our last chance to take America back, and we can’t squander it like the Biden administration did. Whatever power we get, we have to wield it like a club to every MAGA head.
So instead of posting negative responses to calls for action, we should be reminding everyone that we need to level up, and have the strongest 4th quarter of any game in history.
It won’t happen if you elect a “heal the country” Democrat. Elect someone whose entire platform is justice.
Why just justice? Biden “went down that path”. I want the next guy/gal to run on a platform of petty revenge. I want the next guy to promise these people will suffer for their actions in this administration. Since the 4th Amendment’s limitation against unreasonable searches and seizures isn’t applying anymore, maybe that means the next guy isn’t bound by the 8th Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments. So, don’t just send them to jail. Torture them on live tv for all to get to watch and enjoy. Make them beg for death before finally giving it to them on live tv.
Not going to happen until all of the “centrist” (actually right wing corporatist) Democrats in charge of the party get out of the way.
They’ll never not prioritize the comfort of their owner donors MUCH higher than the needs and wants of the general populace they’re supposed/pretending to serve.
The only way to “heal the country” is justice. To make it clear to the right that this is unacceptable. There needs to be arrests for all trumps political staff, friends in the media and any tech billionaires who broke the laws supporting him.
We’re gonna need A LOT more than just arrests. We’re gonna need to strike the fear of death into anyone that might even so much as think of doing this shit again.
The key is all the minions that jumped on the bandwagon, to carry out their fantasies of power and control over people, to loot the system, to exercise their racism, to vent their spite and hatred.
Right now it seems like the people in charge may escape justice but the thousands of minions aren’t. The key is for them to face justice, to become a deterrent to the next time.
That being said, I thought we had that with the Capital rioters, but they all seemed to get pardoned a few years into their sentences too maybe a return to law and justice is too much to hope for
Clearly they’ve been holding themselves above the law while looting the country and abusing their authority. They deserve justice.
But somehow they’ve duped half the voters. The brain-washing finally seems to be developing cracks. But the reality is half the voters will believe anything people in the correct party shovel their way.
Joke all you want about “healing” by giving, but any coming together has to somehow bring a lot of these people back to conscienceness. I have no idea how - is there a bar can equivalent to help people recover? Maybe we can modify airliners to spread it over flyover country
Are you going to give the land back to the tribes over all those broken treaties and give reparations to not only the descendants of slaves, but also the entire global south from which we stole their working age population and resources for hundreds of years?
Because I agree the only way to heal the country is justice I just think you’ve diagnosed a pimple on a tumor.
No, one thing at a time and those can be put on the back burner as they are far less important. I’m not suggesting justice against maga for ethical reasons I’m suggesting it needs to happen to dissuade future behaviour. There is plenty of people in America who need to be arrested, I think trumps admin and adjacent should be specifically targeted for the damage theyve done to the stability and social cohesion of the nation.
Healing what was done to the native Americans is way beyond scope of whats current possible and doesnt have nearly enough support.
For the south nothing really needs to be done, migration is fine and resource exploitation is between the companies and courts.
“genocide needs to be put on the back burner so we can focus on behavior we want to dissuade”
don’t you dare fucking accuse me of twisting your words motherfucker
Thanks for the summary ComradeGPT. Now please take your meds and leave your room your family is worried about you.
Hey look the nazis are making jokes about mental illness again
Its clearly not a joke
Jesus Christ you think that’s true?
More than a ballroom, that’s for sure. 🤷
now that was an interesting read!
this one hits harder than a wrecking ball
“When” lmao this guy is optimistic.
I think the issue is that some people assume that when Trump dies everything will go back to normal. But IMO he’s a symptom of the problem, not exactly the cause. Even without Trump there’s still Musk, Thiel, The Turning Point People, Proud Boys, The Heritage Foundation and all manner of others devoting a lot of time and money to undermining the country. Not to mention just the Republicans in general and the spineless/complicit Democrats.
TBH I think the whole system needs to be flushed, if there’s even a way to do that without making things much worse for everyday people.
Yep. Exactly this.
Well cheetoh-brain is clearly too old for his position and in failing health. It’s only a matter of time, and not much of that. There’s every chance he won’t live out his term
It’s the family and hangers-on that are the problem. They’ve already looted billions from the country so are now part of the excessively wealthy. When they no longer have a presidential pardon to lean on, they are at risk of justice. It could happen
Right now my biggest fear is one of them turning that money into a political dynasty
I’d be happy just seeing them all hanging from piano wire.
Over. When will it ever be over…When the fat paedo leaves office? Nope. He won’t leave office until he’s dead. If he’s not dead when his term finishes he’ll just stay in control by force.
So when he’s dead?..nope, the rest of his scummy vomited sperm with legs will use all the means at hand to bribe their way out of it. Then they’ll carry on being just as disgusting as they are now.
Just fucking do it today, by force. Then get his pieces of shit children next. Then investigate, then imprison. Don’t wait, FFS.
When the USA is irrelevant. Don’t worry, we’re working on that.
They all look so angry and miserable.
Tbf, one of them also looks high af.
