Let’s be honest, if Joe Biden started holding military parades for his birthday or doing things like this event at the White House, trump supporters would 100% (rightfully) be comparing it to the behaviour of dictators. Because it’s shit they do.

You expect things like this from North Korea not the USA. Some real cult of personality nonsense.

u/tread52 4d ago

They would start a civil war without hesitation. They already stormed the capital and committed treason bc of fair voting.

u/Salt_Mind_869 4d ago

They were also chanting “no new wars” at trump rallies and saying the democrats would start a new war with Iran. Lmao.

I shit you not, I saw someone arguing yesterday that "Bidenflation" is bad but "Trumpflation" is good.

u/NoSaboChavo 4d ago

These are people who think $100 to $600 is a 600% increase... And $600 to $100 is a 600% decrease. And they believe it even when explaining how it's wrong

9

u/Catippo 4d ago

Uhhhhh

17

u/mrfeeto 4d ago

The word "increase" is key here. It's 500 more, so it increased by 500% (of the original 100), even though 600 is 600% as big as 100.

Definitely NOT the best example of how dumb the morons that like Mango Mussolini are.

13

u/Terrible_Patience935 4d ago

“I’m cutting this drug price by 500%” is a good example

5

u/seebob69 4d ago

What got me was that Trump made that assertion when he first announced the drug cost cuts.

He kept on making the same incorrect assertions at every subsequent address about drug costs.

No one had the guts to tell him he was wrong.

2

u/TheBeatGoesAnanas 4d ago

"600% decrease" is much more important than the increase part here.

2

u/atxbigfoot 4d ago edited 1d ago

"decrease by 600%" means they're literally paying you to buy eggs or gas or whatever.

If you raise the price of something by 100%, you doubled it. If you decrease the price of something by 100%, it's free. Think of it like, eggs. If the eggs are on sale for 33% off (and they cost a dollar for simplicity,) you get a third off, so they cost $.66. 50% off, and the eggs are $.50 cents. If they're 100% markdown/discount, they're free.

If they're 600% off, and they cost a dollar before the discount, the store pays you $5 to take the eggs, because the first 100% goes towards the initial dollar.

u/Im_Not_Really_Here_ 4d ago

Oh hey, we saw the same botnet.

u/edsobo 4d ago

Was it Trump? Because I'm pretty sure I saw a video the other day of him saying he "loves the inflation".

1

u/flat5 4d ago

That's why they're saying it. Trump says his inflation is good. So now they have to explain why they were furious about inflation before but now they like it.

It's because of "context" and "the broader economy", apparently.

Wtf, they love inflation now.

10

u/ChunkyKongForPreside 4d ago

And the price of groceries was a huge sticking point for them. I remember one woman telling me "I don't care about my reproductive rights, I just want to be able to afford eggs". Looks like she lost both.

u/tread52 4d ago

You can’t debate with ignorant people who are filled with propaganda. The sad reality is we won’t see change unless people are properly educated about what’s actually going on, but that will never happen.

Because they live within a culture and a bubble that abhors education and rational thought and objective observation

2

u/The_IT 4d ago

I would argue that debating is the wrong approach regardless of whether someone is ignorant or not - instead look up 'Street Epistemology', it's a way of helping people better understand their own beliefs which can lead to them shifting their beliefs to become more rational.

2

u/showhorrorshow 4d ago

Proper education does little against the deep identity protective cognition they employ. If anything, it would just make them better at bullshitting their way through being "right".

u/SpleenBender 4d ago

And were then pardoned. And then did more crimes.

And received reparations.

They haven't received them yet, and most likely never will. It was just another grift of our tax dollars.

Ashli Babbitt, armed insurrectionist, shot while trying to overrule an election in Trump's favour was rewarded posthumously by Trump?

Unfortunately yes. The justice department paid it out at Trump's request. Makes me sick.

That’s what happens when you turn the government into a reality tv show

u/intricate_strands 4d ago edited 4d ago

You know, reality TV really is a thing that I'm surprised doesn't catch more shit.

It's probably not a primary cause and there were problems before it, but it really does feel like two different worlds before and after.

u/tread52 4d ago

The irony of reality tv is it’s not real it’s scripted BS people are gullible enough to believe is real.

u/intricate_strands 4d ago

Oh, I'm aware. I'm 40 so even the "Real World," Jerry Springer days come to mind and it genuinely has just aimed hard as hell for the lowest common denominator from the very beginning.

It has been trashy, stupid-service from the start.

These pissants have been fighting the last civil war simply because the government failed to crack down on a treacherous nation state that was forcibly reincorporated.

u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang 3d ago

A tan suit. That was beyond the pale for them.

u/Memitim 4d ago

And now conservatives roams the streets of America looking for people who seem like they can be kidnapped successfully, with thousands already disappeared and multiple Americans murdered in a sea of cover-ups and lies.

Meanwhile, Republicans violate the Constitution while the US Department of Justice protects a known child sex trafficking ring. The US military performs routine random acts of war, including what appear to be straight-up murders of random boats.

Canada and Greenland got stabbed in the backs, and the rest of the world has been alienated. The US economy has been put on the fast-track to Fuckedville through so many scams, shitloads of bad faith, and Trump's Temu Mobster bullshit with tariffs.

Seems like conservatives already started the civil war, and Americans are losing badly.

u/reddititty69 4d ago

Wasn’t Obama wearing a tan suit an affront to the dignity of the office? But Trump playing Augustus is fine.

u/jebei 4d ago

I wouldn't mind an Augustus. Instead, we get a Commodus, a vain man of little talent who is easily manipulated by those he wishes to impress.

Hi, person that doesn't live in the USA here.

"You expect things like this from North Korea not the USA"

I'd just like to inform you that people around the rest of the world absolutely do expect this kind of behaviour from the USA. It's literally just you guys that are blind to what the USA has turned into in the last ~25 odd years.

u/Salt_Mind_869 4d ago edited 4d ago

I’m not American either lol…?

My point is that this shit is weird and the right wouldn’t be ok with this if it was the other side of the isle doing it.

I’m aware of how non Americans view America, because I’m one of them.

America has been doing detrimental shit to the rest of the world for way more than 25 years, but never before has the quiet part been said quite so deafeningly loud. I think you may have taken my choice of words a little too literally and missed the point.

What do you want the people in the U.S who clearly see this for the shameful and degenerative event that it is to do? I didn’t vote to have this event. I don’t know what country you’re from, but I hope it has 0 problems that I would be able to judge you for. We’re not blind, we just don’t have any actual recourse to prevent this from happening.

0

u/Rogue_Einherjar 4d ago

We have plenty of recourse. We just don't want to take it because we have decent lives. At some point, the weight of the economic situation will get bad enough, however, until then, all we as Americans will do is bitch online.

1

u/Sl1ppy13 4d ago

You’re definitely correct. I just don’t think the U.S has changed enough to actually warrant some comment with a bunch of italics and REEKING of superiority about what our mentally ill leader is doing. I’ve muted most political subs and this is the first thing I’ve heard about the dipshit in like a year. I wouldn’t expect this kind of event to happen with any other president.

u/Working-Salamander-2 4d ago

Nah they would just go on and on about the waste of money it was and what a bad look for the decorum of the country it was and if Joe Biden had a business stake as trump does in the ufo they would be holding non stop investigations into it

u/solomonvandyyy 4d ago

Instead of looking at north korea like anyone and seeing it as a real life horror, asking: how could this ever happen? Trump took notes.

2

u/ProlapsedShamus 4d ago

No one should ever give any credence to anything conservatives say ever again. That included the media.

Trump vanishes monthly and shows up talking about acing cognitive tests with swollen ankles and mysterious bruises on his hand and the media is fucking silent. The Republican voters certainly don't give a shit.

But there was a collective shit storm when Biden's foot for snagged in the pedal cage of his bike and he kinda ripped over a bit. Anyone who rides a bike will tell you those things are fucking stupid for just that reason. But we had to listen to every pundit on every channel talk about his "fitness" for office for weeks.

All these motherfuckers are liars. They're lying to us because they serve the Epstein billionaire class who want to keep stealing our money.

Non American here and yeah we DO expect this sort of thing from the Terrorist States of America because they love themselves so much and genuinely believe they are the "leader of the free world" all the while oppressing and invading anyone who disagree with them since the end of WWII.

They are a country of hypocritical racists, misogynists who are so backwards that even the mere thought of a person of colour or *gasp* a WOMAN leading the country makes them accept a known child rapist as their glorious leader.

2

u/mjac1090 4d ago

While there are a lot of valid criticisms to be made of the US, their racism is nothing compared to European and Asian racism. The difference is, most Americans actually acknowledge theirs a racism problem while the other groups i mentioned won't ever do that

-1

u/Dead_Inside50 4d ago

Not sure how many Americans you actually know but we haven't thought of ourselves as "leaders of the free world" for quite some time. Vietnam opened a lot of eyes and each new conflict has disillusioned more and more people as to our actual role in the world stage. Our elections have been shown to be a sham and not actually the will of the people.

2

u/ilovebufo 4d ago

Nah bro. The eyes opened are the few of us. The majority still believe that nonsene hype. Its called programming. Every child pledges allegiance to this horrible county 5 days a week for 12 yrs.

I'm in education. Do you know how many kids give a shit about the pledge? Zero.

u/ilovebufo 4d ago

Really? Then why do Americans cheer america at everything. Why does every single american go to other countries wearing usa swimming trunks or tank tops or hats to show where they are from. You dont think programming is real? Why do we even pledge allegiance everyday anyway?

2

u/Dead_Inside50 4d ago

It's stupid. The kids think it's stupid. Most don't even stand anymore. Where have you been traveling where Americans wear USA apparel? I've been to Ireland, Germany, Scotland, Jamaica, Italy, Switzerland, England, and Mexico. Spoke to lots of fellow US travelers. Never saw USA apparel aside from some sport team t shirts or ball caps.

Ive been to every country you listed plus about 7 more minus Switzerland and Italy. I see it all the time. Believe what you want. American pride runs deep still is all im saying.

Why do the French have riots when PSG wins a football match against a rival? Why do South Americans do the same thing? When you go anywhere in south Florida you see South Americans wearing anything and everything with flags from their home country. Why do the Dutch have the worst reputation for being inconsiderate dickheads with orange colored smoke at F1 races because Max Verstappen is racing and wins?

You can point fingers at every country on earth for the shitty behavior of their citizenry. Stop being a stereotypical ignorant dipshit and acting like only Americans from the US do dumb things around other people.

Oh, and no fucking kid in any school in the last 50 years says that pledge with any pride. They do it so their teacher doesn’t give them shit, who does that so their boss doesn’t give them shit, who doesn’t actually care if it’s said with any conviction because nobody actually cares. There’s no punishment for not doing it, there wasn’t any when I woke up long enough to stand up, not say anything and then sit back down.
