Eh, he hates everything. Other than the leaders of our enemies.

He hates Taylor Swift so much that he used AI to make pictures of her supporting him.

Yeah, but she can make a difference, and every bit helps. I think the comment reflects his stupidity, more so than his willingness to hate anybody that frowns his way. The comments from panicked Trump supporters in that third tweet are interesting. As well as one comment with the expected “this must be a genius chess move” type comment, lol. Not saying she’s a huge difference, but her initial announcement did send half a million+ to a voter registration site. I don’t know what he gains announcing “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”. She’s rather influential among her fans…

These people are bored. Too much peace and prosperity. It’s why we’re seeing so many people with F-450 trucks and boats, instead of enjoying their lives, are miserable and finding meaning with Trump truck parades, swearing at doctors and teachers, and burning books. They have money, which is the primary measure of success in this country, and instead of using their money and leisure time to become more cultured and educated, they delve deep into nonsensical conspiracies.

What a colossal heap of **** Fukuyama was wrong 30 years ago and he's still a ****ing idiot now.

As we're watching Idiocracy unfold before our eyes? Nah, Fukayama might be right.

Trump would have been a fringe write-in candidate 30 years ago. Dude was endorsed by the KKK—repeatedly—and actually had to think about it. He's now the lead dog of one of two major political parties in this country because people find him charming. People are telling others to tone down their words, except towards him because it may trigger the Mango Moron.

Collapse is closer than you think, at least in terms of an educated populace governing themselves. That said, whether unbridled capitalism take hold as the governing principal of our country rather than democracy, or something else? I know not.

A user called Doge Designer asked on X, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?” Musk responded to the post by claiming, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”

I reckon the destabilising affect of technology coupled with the de-industrialisation of capitalist democracies, corporate media monopolies has a lot more to do with it.

That's comparing apples to oranges. Kamala and Joe are not a threat to democracy.

Unfortunately they're not a threat to anything, they're just a holding space, they really need to be looking a tearing down the far right with the FBI as soon as possible.

That'd be a large part of it, sure, but only insomuch as it was the mechanism for the fulfillment of daily needs of the populace. The removal of daily struggle for basic requirements for a people bent on governing themselves due to their perpetual and relative wealth when compared to their global neighbors would eventually have this effect anyway because people no longer have a reason to think beyond their daily requirements to sustain their livelihood. Think late-period Imperial Rome when they couldn't even ****bothered about the Visigoths. Not that Rome was capitalistic, but same concept where people just no longer... care.

We're pretty much talking about the same thing.

Well, I do believe actually assassinating Trump would make matters far, far worse in this country. So it’s good he was not killed. I can understand people willing to say that, though, because the anger from both sides is off the charts altogether. So I cannot very well act surprised with any “wish he had not missed” reactions. If pressed, many likely won’t back down, but others would likely admit, “well, yeah, maybe I shouldn’t say such a thing”. So much anger, I’m not surprised by what people say in anger. On both sides.

We’re already in a cold civil war. For most of my life, politics was often described as “the art of compromise”. That’s long gone now, we are already engaged in a cold civil war. Prefer words to gunshots.
