"History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."

Not a Marxist but seems uncomfortably apt in this case.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I mean it's not like Marx was always wrong. I think he just had too much faith in humanity's ability to do what's best for themselves, which is kind of what communism requires. Too many people want to be told what to do.

The most effective bit is going to be flooding media with how trump is being led around, manipulated, and not in control. Point to Elon and Vance. Trump will eventually lose his damn mind.

and also of Trump making Elon his bitch to drive Elon nuts as well

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Nah, the lodestone is Trump. Make it flow one direction or it loses power.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

Knowing Elon, he'll get a hard on for the power fantasy and play right along

This is the way American democracy ends, not with a bang but a Twitter.

[Bangs are en route.]

Life is so shitty that these morons are the ones tearing it down instead of some brilliant evil masterman.

Yeah destroying shit is easy, building mostly good, useful, strong and reliable systems is incredibly hard...

Anyone who didn't vote against this deserves whatever they'll get.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 24 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

my concern is all the people who voted against it and will get harmed first as the people who didn't push back sit back and laugh because they fail to see the people they just enabled see them as with us, and not as part of their cabal

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

i’m worried about that too, especially since many people who voted against him belong to vulnerable groups. however, i think his largely ignorant and poor supporters will get their fair share of suffering as he simultaneously destroys the economy and the social safety net

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 hours ago

i wish i could see that as a good thing, or a bright side, but i just don't. even if someone chose to be tortured, they're still getting tortured, and the only motivation for that crowd has ever been blaming us for their suffering. they will endure great torture as long as they get to wish a worse life on someone else. they will suffer, yes, but they will blame us. the mass media is already paving the road for this line of thinking, saying Kamala ran too far to the left, which to me sounds like a dog whistle for too much minority support, given how far right she ran

pictured left to right, famine, conquest, war, and pestilence

i went with gabbard as conquest since she's a Russian asset

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks I didn't know who she was.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago

she's a politician who spouts conspiracy misinformation. the next president wants her to head the cia and fbi

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

From the sounds of it, I think they all are.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 hours ago

100%. all of them could realistically be any of the horses at the right moment in time

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I believe that is tulsi gabbard. Trump wants her as director of national intelligence
