I used to have a boss who like to joke about firing people on his team. He was a nice guy and there was no ill intention behind the jokes, but we eventually had to sit him down and tell him that he couldn't joke about that stuff because it causes a great deal of stress to people given his position.

Another example is bomb jokes in airports. Aside from just being in poor taste, that's something that will get you arrested and probably put on a no-fly list for life because it's an extremely serious matter with no exceptions.

So, even if Trump and his people are just joking about these horrible things, it's completely unacceptable when it's entirely believable they would do this stuff and would be in a position to make it happen.

TLDR: There are just some things you don't fucking joke about.

I could see him dropping all pretense and claiming he is Jesus. And his supporters would eat that shit right up.

Maybe, but he sure does seem to love roleplaying a Christian for the attention.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm in agreement with the Iranians on this one.

You mean Democrats are spineless and only ever "cared" because it scored them political points? I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

I found out one of mine has a thing for flour tortillas one day after I had just bought a fresh 10 pack, left it still sealed on the counter and a few hours later, found she had nom'd her way through the plastic bag and ate a huge chunk out of all 10.

As a Harris-voter myself, I have spent the last two days digesting and spiraling. The world is about to the thrown into all out chaos and if I manage to survive long enough, I'll have to suffer through seeing it all unfold. All of human civilization will feel the effects of what's about to happen for many generations. I picked a hell of a time to quit THC.

I get the feeling of disillusionment. I've been feeling that with the democrats for the last decade. But, to your point that most Trump voters are not nazis, they could have simply stayed home and not voted. Plenty of democrat voters did that, so no reason they couldn't have as well. Anyone with two functional brain cells could see that Trump is not going to make a positive impact on much of anything, especially when his message was almost entirely driven by hate for marginalized groups. His first term was proof enough. You don't get to vote for a nazi and not call yourself one. These people are complicit in the hell they've now helped create.

Dear RFK Jr,

Please put the brain worm back in and let him finish the damn job. Maybe share him with the rest of your nazi buddies.

It's not even been a full 24 hours since I saw the Onion video on a Trump campaign ad about killing people he doesn't like, yet here we are. I hate this reality.
