There is no scenario where this helps Treason Trump. Now the entire world knows that Convicted Criminal and Sex Offender Treason Trump is so widely hated that people literally want to kill him. And now Treason Trump knows it too.

Would you stop with this shit. There is no scenario where the fact that you are so hated that somebody wants to kill you is a good thing.

Yep, dude who did this. Has used the 2nd for the correct purpose.

It that light, the crowd cheering "USA" takes on a different meaning.

I am going to vote for him because clearly the powers that be want him gone.

A 20 year old kid is "the powers that be"? LOL. Maybe they will think instead "Wow Trump must be a huge dick if people hate him so much they are trying to kill him".

he is badass for surviving an assassination attempt

He didn't look like a badass at all. He looked like someone who had been bloodied because he was so deeply hated.

I was pissed when suddenly I could no longer play any of my purchased steam games on my Windows 7 desktop that had all worked perfectly before. Eventually all your steam games are going to be unplayable on your current OS, and any game that is no longer profitable to support on the latest OS will be permanently unplayable. That's why I always prefer to buy games on GOG over steam. When you buy a game on GOG you really do own the game forever.

and now I’ve got a 40tb raid array

Um, I would like one of those.

Successful by what metric?

Economic cultural scientific military. Basically everything.

In America they recently extended the vote to their nonwhite population

By recent do you mean 1776?

It’s called a dictatorship of the proletariat when the wealthy minority do not be getting to enforce their will on the majority.

It's just a personal dictatorship of one man. Stalin had arrest quotas so his men rounded up people at random at train stations and markets to fulfil his quota. Sucked for the proletariat just trying to buy bread or visit grandma.

You will want to gtfo and move to Saudi Arabia then. Hope you're not female.

And yet it made America the must successful country in the world.

Iran and Russia and China are constitutional republics. It means nothing. Just another GOP dog whistle.

You miss King George III and your hatred of American values just caused you to wildly swing from republic to monarchy. Got it.

See above quote.

The quote from a British prime minister that says monarchy is worse than democracy?

but yeah go off saying Russia is somehow worse.

We don't push political opponents off buildings and kill them in prisons and plane accidents and poisonings over here Ivan.

What's utterly crazy is you trying to tell people that Treason Trump's neofascist movement would be better at protecting minority rights than our longstanding core values of democracy and the rule of law.

"Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive."

I could be wrong, but I think this verbage was just added. Which is fine, because I suggested to mods that they make any rules about this explicit after they nuked the whole discussion. The only message to me was that it was nuked because of an "altered title".

Even so. My "title fairly describes link contents". Check. I changed it exactly to "be more descriptive". Check. So it still confirms to even the new standards. But at least now there is something that vaguely relates.

Censorship is a serious accusation, this doesn’t clear it.

It is serious enough for me to be glad that Lemmy has multiple sites to post things so that no one set of people are gatekeepers to information. I knew there was a reason why I loved the fact that Lemmy is decentralized.

They are not talking about direct democracy,

Which means they are clearly talking about breaking 240 years of our democracy since we don't have direct democracy. This is part of the GOP's War on Democracy and the Traitorapist Trump neofascism movement to crush our longstanding core American values of democracy, freedom, and the rule of law.

Yes they are so. Anybody who thinks the Shah is in power in Iran, the Tsar rules Russia, the Emperor still rules China, and the Kaiser still runs Germany, is not paying attention to current events.

Sure dude, that is exactly what the conversation is about!

It sure is. The fascist takeover of Germany and terrifying consequences is real and your "lynch mob" example making democracy the "worst form of government" is not real. Lynch mobs have never been legal in democracies. But they are common in just about every authoritarian country.

I think this guy is a actually a bootlicker rather than a tankie. Ironic how they sound the same.
