The world will celebrate unlike anything we've seen in our lifetimes. I almost compared it to Bin Laden being killed, but that was primarily an American celebration. This fuck's death will be a global celebration.

That means it'll get shoved down the throats of every disgusting MAGAt piece of shit in the country because it'll be too big to ignore. Which means they'll get all snowflakey and butthurt and that'll drive them to the polls to vote for whatever disgusting filth the GOP comes up with next. Probably just more bigotry.

But they were going to do that anyway.

There's no reason to hold back our joy for the benefit of low IQ fascist traitors. They're stupid bigots. Which means they were always going to make the wrong decisions, whether we were nice to them or not. And it's wrong to be nice and tolerate of mean, ignorant pieces of shit.

I'll be in the streets, banging pots and pans and singing songs.

We will show him the same amount of respect he showed others.

I'll get creative!

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 12 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Im pissing on his grave.

Technically pissing in a bottle and pouring it on the grave to avoid exposure charges.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I love that he's not going to get a public grave or really any kind of monument. It would be desecrated on a daily basis.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

"All we can hope for now is to bury you in secret so your grave doesn't get desecrated!"

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Just look at his Hall of Fame star! Love the Los Angelians for that.

Snark needs to give way to violence. All of his supporters are traitors.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Sometimes, violence is the only language you can make yourself understood in. I speak many languages. None of them have worked so far.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Blud, I ain't respectful now to that fucking Russian intelligence asset.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"When tragedy befalls a conservative, there must be decorum, reverence, and respect for the departed.

But when tragedy befalls a democrat, we are allowed to turn it into holloween costumes, jokes, mockery, and wishes for the tragedy to have been worse, more painful, etc" - Average conservative.

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 16 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

All someone would need to do is to post screenshots of the various tweets he made when others have died or been attacked. No one would even need to make up words of their own to post about it.

trump post where he says he's glad another US government figure is dead

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

Remember the Republican collective laugh fit over Paul Pelosi's attack?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

That's a good one to repost, but with Trump's name in place of Mueller's!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Honestly, the nation needs to make a concerted effort to take the tough guy macho stereotype away from conservatives. They're some of the whiniest little bitches I've ever come across in my life and the average conservative looks like they need an oxygen tank. Image is important and that one needs to be stripped from them.

[–] StuffYouFear@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I have fireworks set aside just to celebrate this event. I should probably go get champagne too.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

What I hate the most is that they are gonna Turtle him, like with Mcconnell, to rob us of the pleasure. It won't matter, the day it is officially announced is the day I bring out the fine stuff and blast festive music for 24 hours straight to let the whole neighborhood know.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, I definitely intend to crack a few open, take off work, that kind of thing.

And then I'm going to put his name in the past and let it stay there.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Show Respect!

Counterpoint: Anyone respecting that horrid legacy is part of the ongoing problem and should be dealt with accordingly.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

It's a flavor of the Paradox of Tolerance:

If you respect disrespectful people, are you a respectful person?

I would say, "No."

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Why should I be respectful for a dead person when I didn't respect them when they were less dead?

I'm not looking forward to the national week of mourning in Federal buildings though. Friggen post offices and whatnot will be forced to put shrines out. 😒😒

You're not allowed to celebrate death in c/politics. Apparently.

But I will say this when he kicks the bucket. I won't lose a wink of sleep.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 18 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I will lose sleep.

To partying.

If you can't celebrate Trump's death, then I don't want to be there anyway. Ban me all you want, I'll be poppin' champ all day.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

I don't see any moral or ethical issue with celebrating someone's death.

Objectively, if the guy was a bad person, then he was a bad person. Literally, the whole world celebrated when Hitler died, and nobody seems to have an issue with that. Now, all of a sudden, we're supposed to be better than that?

I think if you're the kind of person, or public figure in this case, whose death people celebrate, that's more of a reflection on that person than on the people doing the celebrating.

I will only be respectful, if he literally takes a bullet for someone … and that’s it. If he collapses on stage or dies peacefully in his slumber, I will not.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

Him taking a bullet for someone would not be enough for him to be redeemed in my eyes

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Child rapists don't get redemption.

I remember when it waa official that he lost in 2020 there was spontaneous dancing the in street. The news kept showing live streams of empty COVID streets and then people starting going outside in their masks and dancing.

This time, it's going to be a rager.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I remember seeing footage of hordes of people celebrating in the streets in every major city.

He needs to get the Margaret "public toilet" Thatcher treatment.

[–] Darcranium@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Great. What are you all going to do about the policies he changed?

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We've already bought the bourbon & the Taco Truck shaped fireworks.

Everyone I know has a bottle of champagne for the ocasion.

[–] untropvertimide@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Agreed.

There was a famous case in France several years ago, around the freshly dead heinous monster named Jean-Marie Le Pen. His "orator talents" were praised after his death, both by dominant media and dominant politicians, including supposed to be ennemies with him and his legacy. Those who still publicly stood against him and his legacy were told to rospect the dead and were vilified. But as some members of communities he targeted said: "I will respect him in death like he respected us while alive."

The man was a white national-supremacist with ties to the OG nazis. Racist, imperialist, xenophobe, LGBT-phobe, redheaded-phobe(?), ... He very probably participated with enthousiasm in torture and other mass crimes from the french side during Algeria's independence war. (Also, colonialisation is a mass crime in itself.)

So yeah, fuck forced reverence. This guy was a hateful mass criminal, and his death didn't change this fact.

A man walked to the newspaper stand to buy a copy every single day. The man would take one look at the cover then simply throw the paper into the trash and go about his day.

Eventually the shopkeep became curious after months of this behavior and he decided to ask the guy what he was doing.

"Looking for an obituary." the man replied.

"Obituaries are in the back of the paper, not the cover." the shopkeeper said, a little confused.

"Not the obituary I'm look for." was the response.
