Are all Republicans this childish and petty?

This is what they want. See, Trump is utterly destroying America’s economy and nucleus of global hegemony. The people are in for increasingly tough circumstances as China just stops trading with America, and all previous allies start to shun the country. Trump is trying to grow the US military to start his fascist wars of conquest both south and north. This will also put the people in increasingly dire circumstances, both with the massive amount of death involved in such a conflict and in the mass reallocation of resources towards war efforts. He can’t talk about those things openly to the people because he’d have to admit their lives are going to get significantly worse. So, what can he do instead?
He can do the same thing he’s been doing the entire time. Build a fervore for ethnic cleansing and eugencist racialist politics. The people are trained to lap it up without even thinking, and they get genuinely itchy for their next fix. Who’s the minority we’re hating today? Who’s the person of color we’re going to commit vile acts of cruelty on today? Where do I direct my homicidal rage at the threat to my inherent superiority today? This is how they are. Every single day, Fox News, Twitter, and the White House all come together to deliver. They fill the bowl, and the bigots heads are down gorging themselves on it while their own lives are horrifically torn apart around them.
It doesn’t matter what else he’s doing. He’s fighting DEI. He’s putting black people and women in their place. He’s making immigrants, muslims, jews, and the queers afraid again. His support base is unyielding. We know they will never yield because fascists never do. Even decades after the end of World War 2, many former SS and former Nazi supporters STILL thought Hitler was sent from God and that everything he did was right. Even as Soviet bombs were falling on their heads. The ardent supporters of fascism will support it literally until they die. They loved that Hitler was committing genocide. They loved that he was cruel and inhuman. They admired how the image he portrayed so neatly fit with their patriarchal worldview.
Are the people who support these kinds of tweets petty and childish? Absolutely they are. This isn’t even about pettiness though. This is what they voted for. They voted for people of color to suffer. They voted for immigrants to suffer. If it came out tomorrow that he died in that hellhole they’d all cheer.

They’re actually not.
A lot of them are, and definitely the ones online 24/7.
But trump having the actual official White House communicate like this does add up and will hurt Republican votes.
trump isoving to fast and it’s what’s gonna end up stopping it. It’s why I hate when people act like trump is the problem, if he died today Vance takes over and they do the same evil shit, just smarter about it

We’ve already used up our big words in February. Supercynical “I have no words” in March.
Now, the horror getting worse every day has become the new normal coming out of the US, evry day, steady as a slow machine gun.
Had I known how much worse it’s going to get I’d have saved up some words during the first months.

Nah in Dystopias the megacorps and evil governments tend to be intelligent and refined with armored limousines and some sense of style, even the glutenous autocrat steriotype tends to have a kind of weird refinement or at least be intelligent enough to not be ridiulous in public, or at least in the presence of a large number of guys with guns who can look meaningfully at anyone who might laugh.
What this is, is some weird idiocracy shit only without any of the redeeming characteristics of the people in that film.

I don’t know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It’s not really a job. It’s a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts

That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.
At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration’s perspective on things it’s refreshing. They don’t hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.

I wouldn’t say there is no secret agenda. It’s clear the administration is not in the loop of what the secret agenda is. Their blatant anti-everything-non-white and overall incompetence and ignorance is enough right now to keep the divide and conquer going.

They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn’t make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.

Absaroka@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Let’s do some fact checking.
THEY said he was wrongly deported. Repeatedly. And refused to do anything about it.
Our jackass Attorney General shared a link recently that said he had “no criminal background” and there’s been no actual evidence that shows he was in MS-13.
And while I’m not sure of his technical, official status, I would say somebody who was allowed to stay in the United States by a judge because of dangers back home, isn’t consider an illegal alien any more, but a political refugee who has asylum in our country.
You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.

I think it’s simpler than that. Bringing him back would show they did something wrong, and that’s obviously impossible, because he’s the second coming of Prosperity Gospel Jesus.

Bouzou@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
It’s even worse than that: he’s testing the boundaries.
He’s testing if he can get away with deporting an innocent man. He’s testing if he can ignore the Supreme Court without consequences. He’s testing if the Salvadorian president will stand firm and be his good little concentration camp boy.
If they are successful, it means they can imprison ANYONE they want to.
If they are successful, our Bill of Rights is about to come crashing down.

He has a legal status similar to refugee, but not technically the same because he didn’t apply for asylum within a year of entering.
So yeah, not an illegal alien. Legal resident.
JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 hours ago
To get more technical, he had the kind of residency that has a higher standard than being an asylum seeker that prohibits them from being deported to the country they are from.
El Salvador was the ONLY place he was not allowed to be deported to.
xpinchx@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
His official status wasn’t asylum per se, but his status was he could be exported ANYWHERE BUT EL SALVADOR of the courts deemed fit. Which he was not deported through the courts and they sent him to El fucking Salvador, the one place it would be illegal to send him to.
This whole situation has me so pissed off, this country sucks.
