Trump has vowed to be a ‘dictator’ on day one. With this day now coming, what exactly will he do?
Trump has vowed to be a ‘dictator’ on day one. With this day now coming, what exactly will he do?
His "promises made, promises kept" line makes me think he goes full dictator, Marshall law, insurrection act, terminate the constitution, send the death squads, eliminate/arrest the dems, fire up the death penalty machine for criminals (not including his criminals), declare the storm, and call for the purge.
Then, that demonic portal that his buddies said had opened up above the white house actually opens up.
Then elon, trump, and rogan, hop on their horses to set the world on fire.
Fuck this life.
This world - the people - deserve to be destroyed.
Humanity is a fucking disaster.
I understand you are scared right now, and there's probably no talking you off that ledge. Seek the goods things in your life right now. Surround yourself with the ones you love. It's hard to process, but breathe. I promise you'll be ok.
Edit:
Just wanted to add this moment of realization from a CBS news personality.
He was talking about how people shouldn't be afraid, that America is the oldest democracy on earth, that democracy wil survive, and things will be OK...
... And he continued on talking about how trump likely has full control of the government, the house, the senate, the courts, and an immunity ruling.
After the last words came out of his mouth he looked at the camera and paused and said, (paraphrasing) " I'd like to maybe take back the first part of what I said, we should be afraid"
I promise you he will order shootings on 5th avenue.
If you think I, we, us, anyone will be OK, like the half of the nation that elected him, you haven't been listening.
People voted for an economy and against scary immigrants.
They also get the storm, the purge, the accelerationists, the camps, the executions, the prisons, smothered hope for the last possibility of saving this earth from environmental collapse.
They literally want Armageddon.
I mean actually fucking literally.
Once you learn how many in the Republican party, and supreme court, are members of NAR and 7MM - literally groups with the purpose of bringing Jesus back.
Nobody is going to be OK .
I understand where you are coming from. This totally fucking blows and I'm terrified for my children. The only constant in human life is that there is suffering. There is always suffering in life. Right now, there is nothing you can do about this situation. Understand that there is always and has always been suffering in life. That's not new. Speculation on the future only causes more suffering. The present moment is all you have. The want for what you deem as a better political situation (and you are probably right) is causing you suffering. Choose to not suffer.
Breathe deeply for 5 minutes straight and relish in what is good in your life. Let the loved ones around know how important they are to you. Do something that you truly enjoy. Take care of yourself. No one else is going to do that for you. You are not the first human being to feel what you are feeling and you will not be the last. Whether or not you are "ok" is up to you.
The only way out is within.
I'm leaving this comment separate:
I appreciate your kindness.
Please continue talking to me if you need it. Maybe I need it too.
I love life. I love my people. I love the strangers I meet. I love nature. I love my pets. I live to help others.
There is no longer hope.
Luke Skywalker didn't blow up the Death Star with that attitude! You seem like you are a good person. Sometimes, the only peace we can find is in ourselves. Keep your head up, friend.
Give me a cute tiny phallic robot I can somehow understand, and a war fighting space ship, my attitude might change.
Until then, home brew defensive microwave EMP to fend off the openAI™ Slaughterbots®.
And lots of screaming to the clouds.
Luke Skywalker? Might as well tell everyone that Clifford the big red dog overcame adversity, or curious George faced challenges. Don't be patronizing.
Ok, I won't be patronizing. I'll be fucking real.
You are going to die someday. None of this fucking shit matters. There has been shitty leaders and political hardships since we invented farming. You are not special. You are a speck of meat on a speck of dust in swirling mess of who knows what the fuck. You do not matter to me or most of the other 8 billion people on this planet. The moon, the sun, and the stars will still be in the sky tomorrow, whether you are here or not. Your opinions do not matter to any other human being on this planet. You are inconsequential and in a relatively short amount of years there will be no evidence to your measly existence at all. You want to be a pissy pants about politics online? Go ahead and do that if it makes you happy. But, it doesn't. It makes you afraid and angry and you're here sitting in your anger stew. If I want to tell someone online something positive through a character is space fantasy, I'm going to do it. To live is to suffer and the only thing that matters in life is making others feel good. That's it. Nothing else truly fucking matters. Nothing. Quit acting like a baby, get some exercise, eat the right shit, and be useful. Now get out there and make some fucking changes in the world.
Don't take this as me being rude. Take this as me freeing you from your mental tethers of exceptionalism.
Lol, you speak as if you're the only asshole who figured out that life has no inherent value. I'm many years past that realization. Basically, I figured all that crap out as a child. Tons of people do. You don't have any manner of superior logic. You have the same value as a random single celled organism.
That means we are all free. If nothing matters, then I decide what matters and no one will convince me differently. Thus, I have lived a life being part of large groups working to improve the meaningless lives of as many people as possible. We often work against violent minded dipshits who talk a lot like you do actually. People who never moved beyond the simple teenage mindset you typed out. You make accusations of perpetual online bitching. I think you're just telling on yourself. You need to get out more champ. I'm actually out there doing real work to improve lives. I highly doubt you are. Grow up
Just talking to you in the same manner you talk to others. You don't seem to like it. You should maybe reflect on that.
Welp, here's hoping they succeed on that Jesus front so we can see the end credits.
For the more realistic of us this just means things go further to shit.
I've grown to despise religion.
I was raised roman Catholic.
I have had nightmares of mushroom clouds since I was a child.
Revelation 8:7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
This is what the people of NAR/end days cults want.
Trumps spiritual adviser in the white house was NAR.
She was quoted as saying trump will be instrument in ushering in Armageddon.
Actual words from an actual person in an actual group who are actually, actively, trying to end the world.
And, if you want go ruin your day even more, read about Putin/dugin and their concept of the noosphere.
Dugin is Putin's spiritual/occult/geopolitical strategist (author of foundations of geopolitics)
Edit:
Here's dugin"s substack (lol)

One of the ideologues of Trumpism, Curtis Yarvin, has declared that it's time to establish a monarchy in the United States. If Republicans gain a majority in both houses, what could stop them?
Here's this lovely statement about ending the world:
The end times and the eschatological meaning of politics will not realise themselves on their own. We will wait for the end in vain. The end will never come if we wait for it, and it will never come if we do not. This is essential because history, time, and reality have special strategies to avoid Judgment Day, or rather, they have a special strategy of a reversionary manoeuvre that will create the impression that everyone has come to a realisation and an understanding. This is the huge arsenal of Heidegger’s noch nicht, or eternal ‘not yet…’ If the Fourth Political Practice is not able to realise the end of times, then it would be invalid. The end of days should come; but it will not come by itself. This is a task, it is not a certainty. It is active metaphysics. It is a practice.
He didn't do it the first time. Surely he won't do it this time right?
Right?
I'm so tired.
A lot of the safeguards against a power hungry president have since been removed by a red SCOTUS. In their own words "The president is now a king."
We're fucked
Depends what his business interests tell him to do.
It doesn't work that way anymore.
For reference: count the number of alive people living in China or Russia who are both wealthy/in a position of power, and critical of xi or Putin.
The math shouldn't be difficult.
It's zero.
They are all killed.
He lied about everything else so maybe he will lie about being a dictator.
I'm kidding, he only lies about doing good things.
Look at elections around the world. It is not just our mess.
Jesus Christ, man you are fucking insane. That's not gonna happen at all. You guys not only made up a story, you ate it too.
Seek help, seriously
You are having difficulty seeing he's correct. It's understandable, it's too much to take in.
Oh yeah, sure, I'll be eating popcorn while waiting for this madman mad max style future. Lol
Literally every former president says "promises made, promises kept."
Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't a serial killer, he just had different tastes.
Poor misunderstood Jeff.
Poor misunderstood Jeff.
Good people, all good people...
/s
Literally? Washington said it? You show Biden saying it, not every president. Seems like a bold claim.
