I feel like the contrast of these posts really exemplify it. I don’t fucking care about the white house ufc arena I just don’t fucking care. No one is going to make me care about such a frivilous fucking spectacle. I’m so tired

    The amusing part to me is that the aspects of Trump that drive liberals absolutely insane are like the only things that I actually kind of appreciate about the guy (in a limited way, let me explain).

    He represents The Burgerland Empire™ absolutely perfectly. The fact that he is such a boorish, craven idiot, openly corrupt, borderline illiterate, short-tempered, self centred, and so on, he finally rips the mask off of imperialism. To much of the rest of the world this is who America has always been. But liberals hate it because they feel a little too exposed without that mask. They can’t pretend anymore and can only hope they can go “back to brunch” and put their heads back in the sand when he’s gone. Always just one election away from salvation!

    Compare him to Anthony Blinkin, who wore an expensive suit and talked in smooth, diplomatic language all while openly supporting a live-streamed fucking genocide. Trump just up and says it. “It’s the department of war now.” or “We’re just gonna steal venezuela’s oil”. There’s no bullshit pretend game in the Trump admin.

    And it’s not even so much that liberals dislike his foreign policy; in fact I think secretly a lot of them support a lot of what he has done, they just wish he filled out the proper paperwork first and gave it the proper decorum and pretense. The liberals that I talk to who complain about Trump on a daily basis have never once criticised the bombing of Caracas and kidnapping of Maduro, nor the war in Iran. Come to think of it, I can’t even remember them complaining about the immigrant concentration camps, or the increased surveillance and repression of activists and Palestine protesters. I think they just kinda wish the Trump admin was more low key about it.

    You know what? Keep the UFC ring on the white house lawn. Make it a permanent fixture. I find it extremely fitting for The Burger Reich chefs-kiss

    And just so I am being perfectly clear to any of you in other instances who might not get what most Hexbears likely already presume, of course I think that Trump is a massive piece of shit and I hope that he redacted-1 redacted-2

      Every day Trump is in office, for libs is like one of those dreams where you are exposed in public completely nude and can do nothing about it. We are the lucid dreamers but we can do nothing about this knowing it is all a dream, the only way to break it is for all of us to collectively recognize this nightmare for what it is and kill our sleep paralysis demon.

        Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get passed that. You gotta be unemotional. You can’t sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You’re in the HOLE. You are a RAT. And the rat, when he’s in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.

        You need to eat a body. And you need to carry the plague. And you need to carry a plague around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super plague, to fuckin end your enemies and…

        End. This. Nightmare.

      Libs: “USA is doing democracy and freedom, and yes sometimes it goes wron…”

      Trump: “We’re pirates! We’re gonna take their oil! We’re gonna destroy their society!”

          What’s astonishing to me is how the whole collective west, Liberal institutions in journalism, politics and NGOs etc, have just decided that we don’t need to take that statement seriously. It’s just something he says shrug-outta-hecks Then when it’s time to invade, sanction and “regime change” he turns into an “serious adult” again doing important stuff that needs out attention and support.

            Schrodinger’s president, in a superposition of serious and unserious until observed by the press, at which point he collapses into whichever is more beneficial to imperialism
