I had to double-check that i wasn't looking at a The Onion article.

You know how his rallies are mostly empty. It would be wild if Democrats started packing in to his rallies overwhelming the MAGA presence. And then start the heckling.

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 22 points 17 hours ago

That's a good way to get shot, though.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago

By who? The only ones with guns are secret service.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 58 points 22 hours ago

That's the last fucking thing I want to do. I want MAGAs to just go back into the hole the crawled out of.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

They are not going to put themselves in a hole. They will need help.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

I think they did that after WW2 instead of having a symbol carved on them, so everyone know what they stand for. I'd rather know who I'm talking to, so I can not care about their opinion.

It's definitely possible, I mean...

“Surely a political press corps that spent months arguing that President Biden’s age rendered him mentally unfit, wouldn’t look the other way when the Republican candidate, the oldest person to run for president in American history, is not only old but decompensating before our very eyes,” she continued. “The difference of course is that Biden is aging while Donald is dementing.”

Another big difference, Biden surrounds himself with competent people who are there to do a job. Trump surrounds himself with yesmen there to pilfer what they can and increase their status in the cult.

Violently relaxing, like an egg in the vacuum of space

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

That is poetry.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 104 points 1 day ago

Many people are saying Alzheimer's/dementia

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 21 points 17 hours ago

It's been dementia since like 2016. He's just now started obviously publicly sundowning.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago

.... yet will vote for him anyway

[-] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago

Man, woman, person, camera, tv

Can you believe F*x news tried to make the Weave™ into a good thing? lol

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 2 points 59 minutes ago

Yes, yes I can.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Better known as The Meander (TM), LOL.

Because at this point the person running doesn't matter to them. It's literally a vote between democracy and fascism, and it astounds me how many people are willing to throw their vote to fascism over a single issue

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 19 hours ago

They think they’ll get to be the fascists, but it’s only going to be the billionaires and many millionaires who’ll benefit.

A quote form Occupied Paris, circa 1943.

"It isn't the big Hitler in Paris that makes life unbearable; it's the million little Hitlers living in Paris."
