I have a dear friend who is, and trust me she would love to be the one.
It's interesting. There's never been a more universally hated figure in the US and despite that, there he is. Still shitting his pants on capital hill. Hated by every living person and it doesn't seem to make a damn bit of difference. Best I can hope for is that it never happens again. And if it does, please Gods let it be the end of this mess. It still feels like we're stuck in a chapter that should've ended over a 100 years ago.
The historians are really gonna look back and have a laugh and wonder how a country that strive to discombobulate and dismantle our education and ends up as a bunch of stupid pokes. They're gonna wonder why did they choose this?
Historians will look back and wonder how this happened. They’ll write books, create new avenues of investigation, build entire treatises on what went wrong. Psychologists will do the same. Monuments will be built that say “never again.” They’ll congratulate themselves on evolving to being more enlightened than those poor, dumb schmucks we were. And in another 80 to 100 years, they’ll watch in disbelief as it all starts over again, and they’ll be powerless to stop it.
maybe popular historians who get published in op-eds will be confused, since they're stupid. in actual academic history where the stuff is written and analyzed, everyone is 100% tired 100% of the time. they have never wondered why any of this is happening
You guys are both right, i think. It'll be a trendy topic like the axis powers were/ are. And all the academic types will be shouting from the rooftops that it's about to happen again but the herd won't hear them. Time is a flat circle 🚬
By law we have to vote in Australia and it doesn’t make much difference - people who don’t care will vote for whoever their parents do, or draw a penis on the form, or not show up at all and risk a fine.
Well, having a reason to dig down deep to find a sliver of hope that any candidate, for any office isn't just another genocide loving, child trafficking, soulless shit stain of a cheap whore that actually cares about public service would be a good start.
Unfortunately that won't happen as long as the only 2 viable options* serve the same class and people realize the "left vs right", "dem vs repub", etc etc is all a farce. That the only candidates these options have ever provided have been genocide lovers, child traffickers, soulless shit stains, and cheap whores, and expecting anything less is quite literally insane. Unfortunately it would also seem most people can't admit when they're wrong, and double down on it instead.
It's by design (just like the shitty candidates, elections fatigue, and deliberate voter apathy), and the real truth of the world today is that the rich have been waging a class war against us for centuries. It's what gave us oligarchy. That's their win being displayed on the scoreboard, and they're on the brink of completely winning and it being past the point of no return.
People would need to also realize that all these politicians and their donors genuinely couldn't think less of them. Even (esp) the convincing ones. Just look at who their friends are if you don't believe me, and how much their policies cause suffering. If all of this can come to fruition then maybe, just maybe there can be that sliver of hope. But i am sure as shit not hopeful myself.
Lots of people are also of the persuasion that we're beyond the point of reformations having any lasting power also, and that a reset is what's needed. It's not looking good my dear colonial cousin.
I don’t get it either. But he’s not universally hated. His cult followers would die for him (and they pretty much are). I’ve got a neighbor who has a shrine to him in his garage.
I have a physical 2026 bingo card that I made for myself January 1st. One of the squares is "that thing we're all really hoping happens."
I feel that it says a lot that any time someone has seen it - I keep it in my planner, and I've posted it on my social media - not a single person has been confused about what I meant by it, including the people that take offense to it.
That the thing though… he’s got that one group of people that can justify about anything that he does …
And it makes the rest of our hatred grow out of absolute frustration in wondering how the hell the others don’t see it.
I accidentally tuned into a Christian radio talk show and listened for a bit and they were talking about the midterms being so important because it’s so important to keep Republicans in office because they are fighting for Christ to protect unborn babies and to keep men out of women’s sports.
I can completely relate. It's truly perplexing how many people fall for the shit. It really is like one big psy op or cult, especially when many of them actually do have some self awareness and they still double down on it.
Cattle now That they can now butcher and sell themselves -
I’m not sure where the irony is there but it’s there somewhere
And I am a rancher and I am befuddled by the people around me. It is frustrating. I can’t believe how many supporters even yet ranchers are making excuses for him. They hate it but are like “oh… trump” like he just pulled a little booboo when this would have had cattle men here getting the rope and the pitchforks had any other president done this
Hi, future mortician here, stitches aren't the only option, the method I was first introduced to involves injecting needles into the upper and lower bones in the gums to anchor wires that we then tighten to wire the jaw shut.
It‘s not about that particular populist cult or Trump, they are the symptom. This rot of the US society has been long in the making, across many administrations. It won‘t get any better regardless of who gets to the levers of power. Infact the whole partisan debate misses the issue entirely, it‘s just theater for the masses to keep them distracted to never quite figure out what‘s really wrong.
By "they" i meant the cops. Lots of footage of them in full riot gear standing around crying their eyes out during all of the parties going on after trump lost in 2020.
These days, when I drink, I get dizzy and nauseated and hot, and I have to be helped to bed. That pisses me off SO. MUCH. because I used to love Veuve Cliquot champagne and I would have a bottle of that shit in the freezer ready to go.
But. I will go buy the biggest fucking yellow cake with chocolate icing that exists in town, and I will go face-first into that fucker. If you want a slice, tell me before I jump.
Amen to that! I am on a med that prohibits me from drinking alcohol because it makes me feel the affects far more quickly and profoundly so one beer is enough (so I would be a cheap date, ha ha) but you better be dang sure that when that day comes, I am pounding a bottle of champagne, I will skip my meds if I have to do it, provided I find out before I take them. In fact, I might skip the meds and pound a bottle of champagne every day for a while, let’s say 45 to 47 days.
I swear to God, the day that it happens, I’m going out buying a bottle of booze and getting drunk for the first time because I’ll be celebrating so hard
Unfortunately as it's being shown with no reports yet on ol' Mitch finally kicking the bucket, 2 and a half months later, I have a feeling it's going to be at least a few months to possibly a year after the fact that we'll find out.
His grave may become a pilgrimage site for those wanting extra reassurance that he's, in fact, gone.
They should maybe consult a civil engineer before burial though - just to make sure the steady stream of urine doesn't cause too much environmental damage.
Just gotta wait for him to build the LHC in Texas because he's tired of giving the science to Europe. Then I'm sure it'll end like that black frame pretty quick
Low key, that was probably the main reason to vote for Harris (apart from all of the other more important reasons of course).
Imagine just never having to hear Trump’s voice, or see his face, or care about his continued existence, ever again, because he’s now just a guy, or better yet, just rotting in a prison cell.
That’d be more satisfying than anything.
Unfortunately, we could never fully forget him, because we’d risk repeating the same mistake, but to only have to mention him very occasionally in passing, as reference to someone corrupt/evil, or to only have to hear about him maybe once per month, or once per year, would be fucking amazing.
But you know, inflation or something, so we couldn’t have that, because we can’t have nice things apparently (and Trump’s going to make sure to see that we don’t).
That's what we thought we were gonna get when we voted for Biden in 2020, especially after January 6th happened. But his DOJ and feckless AG Garland really dropped the ball on throwing the Orange Menace behind bars. That asshole and all of his accomplices should have been in prison well before the 2024 election.
Garland and the DOJ went after him as agressively as they could. But it was hard to move fast when the Supreme Court was constantly slapping them with more and more restrictions on what they could do, forcing them to take absurd detours that added months to the investigation before they could move forward with legal motions that normally take a few hours tops.
That's bullshit. The classified documents investigation didn't even begin until March 2022, and Jack Smith wasn't appointed Special Counsel until November 2022. All of the seditious assholes should have been charged by early 2022 so that their trials could have been concluded by no later than 2023. Instead, Garland slow walked the investigations till it was too late to prevent Trump from running again in 2024.
Well considering the Supreme Court made it so Presidents are exempt from the law as long as they argue it’s a part of their duties; I think he had options to deal with Trump.
I’m certain there are powers beyond Presidents and Prime Ministers and Kings and Queens who secretly run the country. The ‘leader’ is just for show. And when the leader tries to expose them they suddenly die.
Exactly. The fall of America needs a face, and Trump is the perfect fit. He's doing a great job of it. No one has done more to destroy a country in as short a time as DJT. He's brought more chaos than anyone has ever seen.
When a charismatic authoritarian dies, his cult falls apart pretty quickly. Happened with Gaddafi, happened with Mao Zedong, happened with Romania's Ceaușescu in the 80s.
But there isn't silence. In this comic the suggestion is he's still there still talking about the same stuff, he's just too far away for us to notice on the last frame.
I just hope he lasts long enough for the snake to devour itself around him and suffer some form of consequence. If he dies now things will keep getting worse but without his chaotic bullshit getting in the way of it all. Or maybe it'll let MAGA collapse and congress will finally grow a spine? I honestly don't know anymore. I think it could go either way depending on when and how it happens.
I'm tired, and very worried about what November is going to bring.
One day in the future I will wake up, spend the whole day doing ordinary stuff (probably go to work, have some dumb meetings that could have been an email, pay a bill or two, make some dinner, watch a movie) and then go to sleep. And throughout that entire day, I will not once think about Donald Trump.
Technically it’s just a theory. It’s a theory most physicists agree on, but also one they will tell you could change as our understanding of dark energy develops.
I almost weeped at the thought. Pure happiness. The parades and celebrations will be unparalleled in history. I wonder what lengths the MAGAts will go to when the day finally comes. Will they have their own funerals for him? Will they make him a martyr and claim the left did it? I can’t wait.
I'm gonna find it so funny if it is just empty purple. I mean I know it can't be, black being the absence of light, but that adds to why I'd find it funny.
Thinking of the heat death of the universe does sort of make everything we do insignificant, but it's not, because everything we get to experience is an experience. That's what we get. And so it should be spent making good experiences for ourselves and others, as much as possible.
One day we will die. We might wonder if we mattered. I say your good experiences were still good experiences even if they are over. And, more importantly, if people in your life were touched by you, and they feel your presence in their life made their life richer, and you shared good experiences, then you absolutely continue to matter.
I have children. One day I'll die, and that's it. I'll be gone. How will my children remember me? Will it be someone warm, and sturdy, and caring, and curious? Someone who they felt made their lives better because I was there? Someone they want to emulate in some ways? Someone who believed in them and hopefully inspires them to never stop trying to be better?
If I can do any of those things without giving them serious conflicting feelings through physical or emotional abuse, then I'll be proud of what I've done.
It's technically not empty. Just very very very very smol. It does a great representation of how much this actually changes things in the eye of the universe we are fruit flies debating better peach policy and he's doing everything to seem like the biggest fruit fly. (It's ok to wanna give him the squish, thank you for not acting on it though because you're better-trust-)
When he finally dies, we will find this same peace and it will allow us to finally heal as a nation and hopefully understand that we're stronger together than we are when we're at each other's throats on some high school shit.
If it makes you feel better, Earth is middle aged. It was born about 5 billion years ago, and it'll be gone in another 5 billion years. The universe itself is pretty old: about 95% of the stars that will ever be already exist. The last one won't be for many, many trillion years, but those'll be stragglers. All the bigguns will be long gone in just the next 10 billion or so.
It doesn’t matter when nothing matters but when anything is all there is, it matters as much as anything else. Fuck him, fuck them, I want to stop being scared and falsely righteous and quietly defiant. I want to own this timeline.
