    Rounding up random brown people, including American citizens and sending them overseas to prison camps?

    That’s fine.

    Raping children for decades?

    Perfectly cool.

    Cringey blasphemy?

    HE CROSSED THE LINE

      It’s not even the first blasphemy… There’s been so much talk and memes from evangelicals basically making him out to be a messiah and he’s totally embraced it over and over again.

        Calling someone messiah is not a blasphemy tho. However, equaling yourself to God or his Son is a blasphemy. But now that you pointed it out, he was destined to fall for it at some point with his overinflated ego xD

      Frankly, this is making me furious. Even a friend of mine who has hated Trump all along is telling me that this “crosses a new line” for him. I’m having a hard time not snapping at him about this. I will bury the reaction and continue smiling for now because opposing Trump is more important for now.

      Those are things he hasn’t tweeted or said or done on video, they are things the people who are dumb enough (all republicans) to have ever been on his side can deny or think isn’t as bad etc. This is a specific thing done by him, it’s something many of them can’t do the mental gymnastics to try to disprove, explain away or angle into something else.

      And there are millions and millions of people who are allowing their children to be raped and don’t do anything about it?

      Are the darkies getting raped also?

      For shame!

    It’s a part of their identity

    It’s how they compensate for not having real personalities

    it wasn’t the pedophilia, the raping, the fraud, the tens of thousands of lies, the pornstar hush money, “grab’em by the pussy,” “suckers and losers,” the support for genocide and pointless bullshit iran war–no, it was the ai jesus pic that pushed them over the edge…

      Which isn’t even really new information. He’s compared himself to Jesus multiple times and blasphemed publicly a few times that I’m aware of.

      I think that they were willing to go along with just about anything, so long as it seemed like he was a path to power. But, from their perspective, he’s committed the ultimate faux pa, he made gas prices go up. So his political agenda is dead in the water with no chance of recovery. This stuff is just the excuse to back away without loosing face.

      This isn’t the first one made of him. So it took a few to push people over.

      A reminder that it isn’t Trump, but the ones who support him that are the problem, and there are so many of them. And even they are also just a symptom of a deeper illness. A self-perpetuating one.

        They want something to be nominally angry about because we all made fun of them for only caring about gas prices. This is cover. I won’t assume intentionality where irrationality has always reigned, but the holier-than-thou crowd prefers a spiritual boogeyman to admitting they are just selfish little children.

    This is outrageous blasphemy!

    So if he ran again, you wouldn’t vote for him?

    Who’s he running against?

    A Democrat.

    I’d vote for Trump.

      Bingo.

      He talked about sexually assaulting women. They made him president.

      He massively failed his 1st term. They voted for him again.

      He became a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. They made him president.

      Portraying himself as Jesus Christ is not the line for them. There is no line.

        He killed a lot of them during covid by being against social distancing, masks and the vaccine.

        There’s no low they won’t go to support him even if he’s directly contributing to their deatth.

        What, like several decades of evidence of him being a shit show? Pfft who’d have that? The Internet, major TV networks, and most new York News publications?

    I literally don’t believe this happened.

    That’ll be the day.

    Is this satire?

    Also, I thought MAGA’s official stance on the Pope was that Catholicism was “woke” now lol

      That’s a really weird metaphor. It doesn’t really make any sense.

      There’s a well known metaphor about burning your own boats so that you’re unable to retreat. But, those aren’t lifeboats.

      If you’re talking about not letting people get rescued, why not “sink the lifeboats”? Setting them on fire would be annoying, but a fire would be easy to put out if the boats are out at sea. There’s water all around. The article seems to be more about not allowing people who have abandoned the sinking ship to come on board. So, why not just “ignore the lifeboats”. You don’t have to approach them and set them on fire. You can just refuse to rescue the people in those lifeboats and leave them floating out at sea.

            I know driftglass has made his enemies, especially among never-trumpers and the MSM, but I doubt it’s extended to Lemmy, LOL. Maybe it’s a blogspot thing?

                Yeah, the domain is blogspot with a dot com. If you search driftglass blogspot and burn the lifeboats, he’s written about it (and probably so has his wife, bluegal) and talked about it on their podcast several times over the years in regards to the teabagger movement and the offramps given to Republicans so they can temporarily claim to be “independents”, and then go right back to voting Republican.
