I mean anyone who took the incoherent ramblings of Trump as anything of value at this point brought it on themselves.

[โ€“] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

The saddest thing is, a lot of those who voted for Trump did think his incoherent ramblings were harmless. How many people went shocked Pikachu face when they learned Trump actually put in tariffs? Or that heard his "dictator for a day" comments and brushed it off?

Somehow, a lot of people 1) heard Trump's ramblings, 2) assumed he was lying, and 3) they still voted for him, even while believing he was full of shit.

I know it's probably not you. But I don't understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn't add up, because I don't think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.

Still waiting for the $5000 promised to me in February so I can invest it all in crypto and be a billionaire by the summer, any day nowโ€ฆ

If we can up inflation enough....

MAHA?

Make America Heterosexual Again?

Hateful?

Hedonistic?

Hupercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

[โ€“] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 18 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

I think it's Make America Healthy Again. I seem to remember brain worm talking about that when he joined up.

To be fair, they are actually banning dyes in food. That only took decades.

Healthy makes sense, thanks!

[โ€“] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Actually nerd noises it's,

Make America "healthyโ„ขยฎยฉ" again

[โ€“] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 26 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, but Joe Biden had a raspy voice and Kamala laughed weird, so it could have been worse.

[โ€“] theneverfox@pawb.social 24 points 6 hours ago

In fairness, the real problem is that they maintained that everything is fine, actually the economy is fine from my numbers, now everyone remember not to vote for the insurrectionist felon we did nothing about for 4 years

They could not be more half assed and milquetoast. They were so busy trying not to make any enemies that they totally failed to meet the moment

[โ€“] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

Yeah thats not why people didn't vote for them. What a silly idea

[โ€“] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 40 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (5 children)

Don't worry, WW3 has been brewing for a while now. And so has a civil war in the U.S.

Hes just trying to speedrun the ending. So we can pick up the pieces and get back to normal. Honestly, its a big brain move by a very stable genius if you ask me.

All he wants is for the U.S. to be great again.

[โ€“] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

And so has a civil war in the U.S.

I kinda doubt thats gunna happen. most people here are too lazy to fight and would rather look at tiktok videos on their phones. and anyway everyone knows war is hell so that's a further deterrent for it**___**

[โ€“] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

Do you think civil wars only happen when people want to fight? They are usually caused by extreme divisions. Nobody wants to go to war, if that was a deterrent, there wouldn't be any wars at all. This is just naive.

[โ€“] scarabic@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I wish we could just assume you are being sarcastic but Acellerationism is a philosophy some with actual power hold quite seriously.

[โ€“] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I know, and they're insane. They're up there with creationists who think the rapture is going to happen, and thats what climate change is, so they don't want to do anything about it.

Too bad the Lord doesn't just rapture them really quickly.

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 24 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

WW3 with the 2nd Civil War DLC at the same time.

So we're going to be the opposite of Russia in WW1. Get in the war, throw the government's goons into it, and when the goons are away, the agitators overwhelm the government and overthrow it.

[โ€“] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I hear they might be offering mad max skins pretty soon

Which US; there may be two soon.

Also, I don't know about you, but I hate when they delay the trilogy finale for 80 years, leaking teasers and empty spin-offs like the Vietnam war and Russo-Ukranian war.

[โ€“] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Sad Korean/Cold/Afghanistan/Iraq War noises.

It ain't WWIII, authoritarian regimes have a limited shelf life and Iran and Russia are past their expiration dates.

[โ€“] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Actually of all of those promises I believe inflation is holding steady and pretty low around 2.6% through Trump's term so far. But it's a trend that's been going since July 2024, so pretty much just a continuation of the prior state of the economy?

Either way its surprising given all the fluctuations and instability of the markets with Trump's tarrif threats / inceptions / backdowns - I dunno, I'm not a market guy but the market guys in media don't seem to have an explanation.

I'd guess that steady rate too will also fly out the window if the US declares ~~war~~ special military operation on Iran, so give him time I'm sure he'll mess this up too.

[โ€“] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 hours ago

The markets are disconnected from reality. There's a crazy amount of wealth at the top and they gotta put it somewhere. So it's basically just a gambling site were rich people bet on what'll happen next in a soap opera. Some of the rich people get to see the script before everyone else does. It's now relatively stable because they've convinced themselves that TACO futures are safe.

The economic conditions are basically the same as in the late 1920s and Trump's tariff policies are the same thing they were doing back then. But don't worry about what happened 1929... TACO TACO TACO BUY BUY BUY!

Would this be the MAGA come to Jesus moment we have all been waiting for?

[โ€“] brown567@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

MAGA and Jesus are not on speaking terms.

[โ€“] scarabic@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Pfff I stopped waiting. We have already seen that they will ignore logic and the evidence of their own eyes to imagine that they are winning even as the guillotine begins to slice through their neck.
