New 9/11 is being far too kind. We all know who he is the reincarnation of.

I was going to guess Nero, but he was taught to play music. If 47 tried to do the same he would be playing a plastic recorder on the roof while the east wing keeps getting demolished.

Don’t forget demanding a Grammy, which Kanye West would then give him.

The Nero was fiddling while Rome burned isn’t exactly true, but 3 out of the 6 historical accounts agree Nero was performing while Rome burned.

His COVID response killed waaaaay more people than the Saudis did on 9/11

What pisses me off the most is that I can’t forgive my friends and family who were all in for this train wreck. All of this was plainly obvious to anyone not in the cult. No one listened. My own sister (cop’s wife ofc) laughed when I told her he was a fascist. My best friend said Biden would ruin America. I said, are you kidding? Can’t you see it?? No. They couldn’t. They couldn’t fucking see the bullet flying. I hate them for this. I hate that these Nazis have divided me from my loved ones. I just can’t stop blaming them.

A lot of people showed their true colours because of Trump. I thank him for that because It made it easier to decide who to cut out of my life. I don’t want these types of people around me.

yeah, blame all of it on Trump. These americans never even try to see how big a terrorism nation the US is lol

There’s a typo in your headline; you probably mean “a world when… were still valid” rather than “before”.

Trump is a consequence before being a cause
cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Likewise 9/11 is also a result of many events leading up to it

He's a symptom of the sickness that is the alt-right fascist-nazi movement which sadly wasn't snuffed out proper when we had the chance.

If only there was a way to know he’d be a useless, disgusting, idiotic, and corrupt piece of shit at running a country as he is at being a human.

How is one gonna tell Trump voters about that?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If only they could read above a 6th-grade level…
cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah! The first term was not really enough to tell for sure

… in a decade?
Uh, no, more like 3 to 9 months.
Things are about to get very bad, very fast.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I think they meant we’ll be nostalgic about it in a decade, not that his damage will take a decade to complete
mrdown@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Trump is the new hitler. There is not other comparison
taygaloocat@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
Trump is way too old and retarded to be Hitler.

I have been saying this for 20 years and it remains true. Everything only gets worse. So while today is the worst day in history, things are the best they will ever be again. I promise, with 100% certainty, that one day you will look back on the troubles of today with nostalgia at the innocence of our times. Pick any year you thought things were bad. Would you trade ANYTHING to be back there right now? That’s what ten years in the future feels like.
Appreciate what you have while you have it.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I can’t agree with you. I’ve lived through many periods of prosperity followed by moments of despair. This is only a winding turn on the rollercoaster, but there will be better days again. Just because the USA is doing some shit right now doesn’t mean the rest of the world isn’t thriving.
cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I am with you in this. But I will also accept that life in other country may be substantially different than what others experience

I blame COVID more
wewbull@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Indeed. COVID showed that the populace would defer to the government and do as they were told. Before lockdown there was a general feeling that only a country like China could lockdown it’s population. In the west, freedom and liberty were too precious.
And then they went and locked us down showing the government had far more power than it realised.
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Literally no one thought of medical lockdowns in any way prior to COVID. There was no general feeling as it wasn’t on anyone’s radar.
Soulg@ani.social 3 weeks ago
This is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read in a long time
Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
"Lockdown" in quotes, because it wasn't a full lockdown. They started, but then realized that the economy would really tank, so they loosened it up a bit and made some nice PR ("6 feet" and "15 days") to convince us that things were fine and under control.
Objection@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Lol what a load of bullshit. I remember when COVID was beginning, and lots of scientists were talking about how we needed lockdowns, and for a while, before it became a culture war issue, that was a perfectly acceptable stance.
Then the right decided to go full on, “It’s my right to get sick and spread illness to my neighbors, and any attempts to stop that are literally 1984.” So we got completely half-assed “lockdowns” that were little more than polite suggestions, and of course the right treated it as the worst thing to ever happen. The exact same mentality as when right wingers deliberately waste water out of spite during a water shortage because the government had the audacity to politely ask them to maybe consider conserving it.
While we in the West were being sacrificed so that the line would go up, while our grocery stores were packed with everyone panic-buying toilet paper, Vietnam’s government for example was delivering free groceries straight to people’s houses to encourage them to stay indoors.
Socialist countries generally listened to the science and took steps to keep people safe while capitalist countries did nothing and lied to us, sacrificing our lives and health for profits.

I remember seeing China building hospitals within 48 hours and thinking we were screwed because here we would never manage that. Turns out we did something similar although with existing buildings.
The UK, people generally respect the law via a norm called “policing by consent”.
Also interesting that in China, it was where serious riots happened, which probably did the opposite for them showing them they had less power
Lemvi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
It’s not like international law really meant anything before Trump. It has been broken many times before with no real consequences, also by the US. The UN really doesn’t have the power to enforce anything.
arrow74@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
If anything this post is more so upset that now its wealthy nations that have to deal with violated international law.
Poor nations have basically constantly had offense committed against them by wealthy nations regardless of international law
lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But at least it’s still a forum for which grievances can be said.
