Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I voted for Trump in 2016 . . . because I was lied to and I fell for it

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

The mental illness will continue until the empire collapses.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 days ago

True product of America imo

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 34 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

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...

Nothing gets fake Christians upset than someone out fake Christianing them.

[–] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 36 points 6 days ago

Gloriously accurate statement.

[–] Vinylraupe@lemmy.zip 22 points 6 days ago

Life is full of miracles.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

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.

Flood the airwaves with it as if it were the original. No one will check anyway.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 6 days ago

That's what propaganda is all about. MAGA has the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and it is mature and effective, and the Dems have nothing to counter it. Doing stuff like this is about all we have at the moment.

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 48 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

I'd rather they burned themselves

They'll keep voting republican

It's a part of their identity

It's how they compensate for not having real personalities

Do we know if the anti-Christ is aware they are the anti-Christ? Because it seems like trump just accidentally stumbled into embodying that concept so perfectly just by being his normal piece of shit self.

If you're really mad, start burning the traitors that lied to you, not just your hats

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 45 points 6 days ago

THIS time Trump posting Himself as Jesus is TOO FAR! He BETTER go Back to his NORMAL posting of Himself as Jesus otherwise I'll HOLD MY NOSE when I vote for him AGAIN!

-Free Thinking Constitution Lovers!

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 25 points 6 days ago

They're just looking for an off-ramp as everything implodes as a result of their actions

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It'd be reeeeaally funny if Trump got smote for blasphemy.

If he falls over of a heartattack in the next day my needle may shift from atheist to agnostic.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

I'll put it out there right now: "God? If you're listening, if you send Trump to Hell in the next 24 hours, I promise I will go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life."

And I mean it. I don't believe in any of that nonsense at all, but if that prayer is answered, I'm back on board.

And probably buying new hats.

History in 50 years is going to wild for this time period.

Another clip making the rounds on X featured a MAGA hat ablaze on a barbecue grill.

They're eating the hats ...

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

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago

I can't wait for the Trump religion. In this timeline it is totally happening.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 22 points 6 days ago

And the self serving cunt will skate away yet again because so many people are scared, of changes, of people who don't look like them, of being told that they had it wrong, that they'll lose their little piece of the whatever they have...

[–] null@lemmy.org 20 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Don't believe these kinds of articles. Anyone who voted for Trump the second time already knew what they were getting.

Trump's base is unquestionably faithful and you still need to be vigilant against them because they aren't going anywhere until Trump dies.
