Trump's Top Gun Post

I'm kind of amazed I haven't seen this come up here yet.

About a week ago, Trump, via his TruthSocial account, elevated American political discourse to highs not seen in decades by posting an AI-generated video of himself piloting an F-18 and bombing No Kings protestors with poop.

It would seem that Republicans are now okay with Dems wearing brown suits.

I don't think anyone cares since it is completely on brand for Trump.

Every American should expect much, much more in a leader. How can they have such a low low low bar?

I wrote down these next three paragraphs a year or so ago just so I could organize my thoughts on the matter but never posted this anywhere. I think it fits here because it deals with the lack of seriousness given to any of Trump's actions.

I think there is a meaningful difference between Trump's rhetoric and for example Biden's. Biden is generally serious. He typically means what he says, for a politician at least. Same with a lot of other politicians. Trump doesn't. Trump's all talk. He doesn't mean any of it. If Trump says something egregious it's easy to shrug it off because we all know he doesn't mean what he says. Poisoning the blood of our country this and immigrants are vermin that, lügenpresse this and enemy from within that... It's just empty rhetoric. He's a deeply unserious person without any real convictions who walks away from a room with the opinion of the last person he talked to in there. It's just a consequence of him hanging around the christofascists and white nationalists in his circle and his admiration for authoritarian dictators.

Trump had called Harris a marxist and fascist during rallies and interviews at least two dozen times before Harris ever referred to him as a fascist but it only MEANT something coming from Harris. Like he referred to her as a marxist AND a fascist in the same sentence, in the same breath. A contradiction in terms to be sure. Because they're just buzzwords to him. He doesn't understand what he is saying. It has of course led to a shift in what is acceptable in political discourse. The Overton window has been dragged to the right, making extreme things look normal. What used to disqualify someone from political office now doesn't. We're all numb to it now.

I haven't seen it in over a decade but I vaguely remember a YouTube video from the Onion where they lampooned Michelle Bachman's presidential campaign back in the day. It must have been what? 2008? Anyway the video consisted of mock interviews with democrats who professed they would be voting for Bachman in the then upcoming election because of the absurdity of it all. The repeated phrase during the video was "...because can you imagine?" The joke was the sheer disbelief that such a deeply flawed, unqualified and frankly insane candidate could ever become president of the USA. We've since moved far past that into a reality the Onion writers could have never even dreamed of.

I think he genuinely enjoys Ai’s capabilities to make pieces like this. The last one was pretty interesting and full of symbolism. But I didn’t dive into the pooper scooper for obvious reasons. He’s laughing at us as are the rest. It’s a bipartisan comedy and the joke’s on the ones who believe them. And he isn’t crapping on the protestors alone. He’s doing it to everyone who isn’t part of the group that matters.

In other words he's has no convictions, doesn't think things through, and has a lot of power. That 's a dangerous cocktail.

In other words, someone who should be impeached not understood.

I heard Kenny Loggins was not amused.

It was a perfect metaphor for his Presidency and policies.

President Trump is the President of all Americans, including the lazy unpatriotic ones who stayed home on election day and now complain about him.

Yeah, Trump delivering excrement to the masses is not a new thing.

You (using the collective you here) had the chance to do something last november. You chose not to.

If you're lucky, you'll have the chance to do something again in a year.

It makes me wonder about his mental state. I’m not diagnosing him, but I’d be concerned if he was my father….

Yes. The people wanted Trump again. Come 2029, he’ll be out of office for good. That’s how voting works.

Vote for character and competency.

For the record, I meant collectively the people chose Trump. He won both the poplar vote and electoral college.

Is it fair? Maybe.

Not unless you count the 34.

Say it aint so said:

The situation is a lot more dangerous now then in 2017. Back then there was no plan. Nobody, not even him, thought he would actually win. Which is why there were still capable people in his administration. Looking back, it feels like 50% of the people who used to work for him have written books about how dumb, immoral, incompetent, criminal, and dangerous Trump is while the other 50% are still in the grift, went to prison, or are deadly afraid of going against him lest they be retaliated against.

This time around there was a plan in place. A project if you will. Now his administration consists entirely of Fox news personalities, podcasters and white supremacists. With some overlap between them. Sycophants and grifters all. There are no guardrails anymore. No one to hold back his worst impulses. No Steve Mnuchin, No John Kelly...

But like you said he has no real convictions anyway so you have to look at who's behind him. Would Trump have ever said that Haitians are eating pets or are poisoning the blood of the country if Stephen Miller wasn't whispering in his ear like a Grima Wormtongue? Even Trump himself has all but openly admitted that Miller is just straight up a white supremacist fascist.

That's who's setting the policy and running the country now. But like Nithavela said, you'll have the chance to do something in a year.
