They aren't gullible. They are aware they are wrong. That just won't admit it. They'd rather self destruct than show humility.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Gotta have humility to show it

I remember a world where this man was rarely on television and any mention of him was easily avoidable.

I will never live to see that world that world again.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

I remember a time when a president was criticized on TV and he didn't go off on incoherent rambling for 3 weeks and threaten to pull their FCC license

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Humanity having left that world behind makes us seem like we were put under an evil curse.

Dicks out for Harambe

I actually can imagine that once he dies all most Republicans will be claiming they never supported everything he did and why we even bring his name when discussing issues caused by his current actions.

Given how Graham did 180 after a golf game and how Hannity feels like kissing his ass even though politically trump should have no control over him tells me that a lot of Republicans were guests at Epstein parties and it is used for blackmail.

If we want to keep democracy going after everyone in the files should be one of top priorities.

Republicans will be claiming they never supported everything he did

Just like all of em who denounced him after Jan6 and went on to try and do book deals? Then after a year or so were right back on board.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 23 points 2 weeks ago

Trump lied!? Stop the fuckin' presses. :|

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There was a third plane. He jumped to the roof of Trump tower and punched it away.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's true. I was the plane and he hit me in the dangle and my dangle still hurts.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fourth. The third was brought down by it's passengers before it reached its target

[–] o0evillusion0o@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He will not release the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM)

The entire American political apparatus plus foreign influential people were in cahoots, enjoying the same forbidden fruits to one degree or another... it's not in his personal interest to release them, ofc, but if he had a moment of lucidity and morality and wanted to come clean, he'd be shot, lol.

[–] Fredselfish@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

More I learn about those files the more I learn that Epstein was just the lacky. Trump was the true master mind behind it all.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, Epstein was small potatoes compared to the Trump child prostitution ring. Remember, they had a falling out because Jeffrey stole one of his teenage sexual assault victims.

The whole focus on Epstein is to take heat off the rest of the child pimps. It has worked extremely well.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Rumor was they had a falling out because of a piece of property the orange pedo wanted the grey pedo ended up buying instead

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That was after he starting stealing Trump's girls (circa 2000). Epstein wanted in on his trafficking operation and Trump wasn't about to share. Trump did block a real estate purchase from Epstein to keep him out of the neighborhood (circa 2004)

Dutch comedian Arjen Lubach made a preview of what Trump will say happened to him the coming years (spoiler: he's not done making things up): https://youtu.be/T1amNlMeqbA?t=232.

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think that the U of Penn professor who said "Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had", wasn't being hyperbolic.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Smart people don't need to sue the school to keep their transcripts sealed either

[–] Space_Cowboy92@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Surely we don’t need to be using AI to make these memes? Come on people…

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They're not choosing to be gullible. They're being brainwashed. FOX news uses the very same methods used on US soldiers in Korea.

Viewers are suckered in with scary news and hate pieces that affirm common conservative presumptions and suspicions. They're invited to disregard any contradicting news stories and disconnect from all other news media sources. And then they're coached in MAGA rhetoric and ideology until they know all the thought-terminating clichés by heart.

In the end they imagine liberals doing despicable things (as plausible as They're eating the dogs!) and are convinced liberals need to be hunted down, imprisoned and executed. Also that anyone MAGA or who doesn't virtue-signal as MAGA is a liberal.

We know FOX News uses this method.

We know human beings are susceptible to this kind of manipulation.

All our regulatory bodies are captured, and laws against the practice, are neutered. The media agencies who do this for MAGA are sponsored heavily by the ultra-wealthy, as are influencers who toe the same line.

The only questions are, how pervasively effective is it? (the 2024 election speaks volumes.), How much can the MAGA faithful suffer before they start doubting the message? And, is there anything that can be done to reprogram them?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly, the same way Nazis got power and so many other bad people too.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

There are believers of cyclical history among the ultra wealthy, I wonder how much money is being spent to encourage a crisis in the hope of seeing the golden age on the other side.

[–] Alexfire@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

And he didn't lower the price of eggs or anything else he tries to claim. Enough people believe he does though so here we are, and this pattern is old, but fall for it. Now we have higher prices that verifiably are his fault and the other wealthy enriched on all this. The cult won't understand that and repeats the lies about Biden for their own deluded comfort.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I honestly believe that Republican bastards just use these obvious campaign lies as an excuse to play dumb and hide their racism.

A lot of em aren't exactly hiding it

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But wouldn't he be dead if he wasn't rescued during 9/11? He is obviously alive, so...

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was also rescued from 9/11, by being on a different continent

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unimportant details that still prove Trump's genius: he told many times about safety of Beautiful Oceans. And behold -- he was correct again! Stable genius indeed!

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Actually he has warned of the dangers of oceans, and batteries, and sharks

So I said, there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, do I get electrocuted? If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking, do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?
Because I will tell you he didn't know the answer. He said, 'you know, nobody's ever asked me that question.' I said I think it's a good question. I think there's a lot of electric current coming to that water. But you know what I'd do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time. I'm not getting near the shark.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

he is pathological liar, he just can't help himself...

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ask yourself why would be wait until after the mid terms, anyone running a business would rather have money now than risk it down the track.

I'm sure everyone here knows why, but people on the hook and sinker might scratch their heads

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think his brain is broken but just barely aware enough to know that conservative voter's brains are even more broken.

They'll believe this. Why wouldn't they?

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It doesn't matter as long as he hurts whatever groups they choose to hate at any given moment.

There's nothing more to this. All the bs promises are just there to hide it.
