That is a long time for someone his age to dance.

I need to request a trump two dicks dance emoji

[–] miz@hexbear.net 32 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

think about it. can we really respect ourselves if we don't have this emoji

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 26 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

all i know is that i'm disrespecting myself right now, so this emoji couldn't hurt

[–] miz@hexbear.net 27 points 4 weeks ago

let me rephrase, we absolutely must have the trump two dicks dance emoji or we cannot respect ourselves

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 4 weeks ago

We used to be a website.

This is the electoral genius that the "adults in the room" can't come up with an answer to.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 48 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

To think Howard Dean sunk his campaign over an excited scream. If Trump wasn't the rizzler and our politics in 2024 wasn't insane this would go down in the record books of "shit that sunk a presidential bid."

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 51 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

The scream didn't sink the campaign, every single media outlet insisting that the scream sank his campaign, sank his campaign.

He was doing pretty well as the most progressive candidate. MSM had to scramble and come up with a reason to publish a thousand articles about how voters didn't think he was electable. Which made him unelectable.

Great example of tail wagging the dog and crazy how well it worked.

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 30 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

I supported him because he was for universal healthcare. Last time I checked he's a lobbyist specializing in preventing universal healthcare.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Not to carry water for some liberal ghoul but the entire country abondoning you because the media performed an obvious hatchet job amputation on your campaign would probablly be a pretty strong motivator for anybody to say "fuck these stupid asshole if this is the thanks i get for helping them I just wanna know who's gonna sign the biggest check possible for me"

Isn't Trump kinda the one to bring that about tho? Idk much about howard dean, but I assume he was at least somewhat respected as a politician beforehand. With that scream, in a kind of patriarchical society creating a mythos of education and prestige around politicians, revolving around political etiquette that scream is simply seen as infantile and unserious. Trump entered politics as that kind of infantile and unserious candidate in the first place, being a cartoonish, stereotypical, Saul Goodman-esque figure. In the end, it's all about expectations that people set. Nobody believed agent orange would win, but in the end he did because he represented a kind of tonal shift in american politics, not to mention straight up saying what all these bourgeois politicians already believed anyway. In the same way LGBTQIA+ want to practice their sexuality without the fear of being killed, beaten or prosecuted, that is the same way in the opposite direction in which fascists want to freely express their racist, sexist, homophobic views without any consequences. Trump said these things out loud, and republicans found him 'cool' because he didn't beat around the bush, at least in the public, about their true beliefs.

Ultimately, Trump isn't some anomaly. He's just a natural unmasking of the fascist paradigm of amerikkka.

And they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is Donald Trump and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he’ll never die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Donald Trump. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, Donald Trump. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

in the lovecraftian court of magathoth, two shifting, amorphous flute players warble the melody of tiny dancer while djt undulates with the two dicks dance

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 40 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This slaps. The difference between the candidates is pure vibes at this point. They might as well settle it with a dance-off.

He requested YMCA to dance to… interesting choice.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 42 points 4 weeks ago

He requested Ave Maria three times in a row at increasing volumes.

Also he likes ymca because the song calls him a young man.

This might be his last campaign, let him have a little fun

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 39 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (3 children)

So... put on Pavarotti singing Ave Maria. Turn it up louder. We want a little action in here. Turn it up louder!

That's for your boy. That's for your boy. Stand up. That's for ya boy.

This is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen. Like this is going to infect my thoughts possibly for the rest of my life

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 32 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's always wild when something happenens that goes above the usual level of trumpian bullshit.

Yea they're eating the cats and the dems can control hurricanes to strike republican enclaves but then also the people who show up to help you clean up are also globalist actors.

Yea whatever yawn....

But saying "enough questions, nobody wants to listen to questions let's just play some music instead" and slowly swaying for 40 minutes during a NATIONALLY TELEVISED TOWN HALL while demanding different version of the same song be played three times in a row at increasing volumes.

It's a beautiful level of absurdity that not even the best satirists could come close to.

Andy Kaufman eat your fucking heart out.

Then you have the prestige of the whole spectacle. The dems, the serious hard nosed adults in the room who have spent a lifetime learning to navigate the halls of power ARE IN A DEAD FUCKING HEAT WITH HIM.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

The first vid wasn't on Youtube and it something I couldn't find on the Youtube vid. There was a song that started with a lot of sound effects. And Trump is standing there steely-eyed and proud. His hogs were surely confused. I was confused too. What the hell. Then a piano comes in and the drums and a synthesized flute. I still couldn't remember what the song was. Finally there's a pinched vocal coming from the diaphragm I finally realize it's November Rain by Guns N' Roses.

My theory is that he expected to get shot again and wanted to have some fitting music. Make it cinematic trump-who-must-go

[–] LigOleTiberal@hexbear.net 23 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

the playlist is so insane too.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 21 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)
[–] LigOleTiberal@hexbear.net 23 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

that's incomplete. at this weird town hall where he just played music, he played sinead o'connor's "nothing compares to you" and I think maybe a phantom of the opera song lmao.

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 26 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Trump seriously loves phantom of the opera. I think he was even at the debut. There's an interview out there where the whole thing just derails while he talks about it for several minutes.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 4 weeks ago

Trump is a Broadway Guy, he loves musicals.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago

"nothing compares to you"

Trump with the sad break up songs.

He might’ve lost a step since 2016, but he hasn’t lost it. He’s still the president we Americans deserve rat-salute-2

yo he was mouthing along to "nothing compares to you" and pointing at his crowd.

fucking amazing.

he has unconditional love for anyone who loves him. hahahahaha.

edit: it turns out he has a "music man" that plays him music he like whenever he gets upset. I think he was giving himself the music man treatment after getting pissed at the fat hogs passing out at his event and disrupting it. lmfao.

There's a new golden and waxy mornin'

Good times a-comin', you've got your warning

There's cheap healthcare, the workcamp's there

The general tone is laissez-faire

I'm a princess, I'm a princess,

I'm a princess!
