This

Of all the shit that comes with trump, this is the worst thing. For the next 4 years I cannot have a single fucking day without trump. It's going to be trump left, trump right, trump before, trump after, there is no escaping it. 4 years of 90% of the news being trump bullshit. kill me now.

Honestly, I think that's the top reason he went into politics. Narcissists need everyone to pay attention to them

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

That's a pretty interesting observation, i never considered that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think that is partially true

Wether by design (probably) or accident, the cheeto takes all the headlines and there is no space left for the actual crimes they're committing, like making sure the rich get richer by tax cuts, the tarrif thing, etc.

I think a lot of it is just designed to ensure people aren't paying attention to what really matters, a magicians trick if you will

Less of a magicians trick and more like that time you were 2 and dad took your nose. Some fuckers still out there everyday looking for their damn nose.

If that's the worst thing, then you are very privileged.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

Oh shut up already with your "privilege". That political correctness has been a huge reason for many people to vote for orange cheeto to begin with.

I'm just an ordinary guy living an ordinary life, I don't need some armchair hero twat telling me that I'm privileged

"The worst thing about someone harming others and/or breaking laws is how often I have to hear about it."

"What do you mean I'm only able to say that because I'm not directly affected by it? I'M just trying to go about my day— calling my attitude short sighted is EXACTLY why these bad things are happening"

Holy fuck lol

You understand what a hyperbole is?

A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.

I literally overstated it because it sucks so much having to hear trump all day, every day. Yes, it is little in comparison to actually having to suffer his consequences, but that was obvious, no?

I sure wish people would stop choosing the end of the fucking country over a little word ick.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

You're privileged.

Right, because only America will be affected by all this, just like how only Germany was affected by the Holocaust.

Which reminds me, the worst thing about that Hitler fellow is how I have to keep hearing about him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

If you genuinely think there is going to be a holocaust you should probably be planning assassination of government officials rather than complaining online.

The worst thing? The audacity.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Unfortunately, no matter how the rest of the next four years go, I fear we'll be hearing "Trump-era" for the rest of our lives.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Even after, there's tons to undo and process for the history books.

When he got elected I added filters to my Lemmy app... Trump, Elon, musk, Tesla.

Half my front page was still full of Tusk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

And the other 10% is Elon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Even in Canada 50% of news is about Trump
