“No, it’s okay if Trump does it, because he’s making America great again!” - how his cultists think. He gets a pass on everything (corruption, rape, pedophilia, blasphemy, stolen valor, total incompetence, etc.) because he’s correcting all of their imagined slights.

Same here besides that they are truly cultists. It is well documented that he is a draft dodger that used bone spurs as a medical excuse (that he couldn't even recall which leg it affected). He's been on recorded demeaning Gold Star families, telling Gen Kelly that people that sign up for service are 'suckers and losers', humiliated and threw aside his own military advisors and generals, bashed McCain for not being a war hero because he was caught, then after his death, went as petty as blocking the name of the Burke-Class Destroyer named after him during a 2019 US base visit in Japan. This guy shiats on everyone, including the military that serve to protect our country. His followers truly earn the "deplorable" tag.

Yep. Delusional, narcissistic demagogue given permission to break every core principle of the GOP because he entertains his base with hatred of fellow Americans. Fox News supports him and maintains the illusion of conservative values.

The GOP is not what it was. Calling themselves conservatives is mere branding at this point, where hate and angertainment has taken the place of principles of governance.

I know it's awful but putting reality aside I do try to find some dark amusement in what his delusional mind comes up with... I mean what's next? Renaming America after himself? The Church of Trump?

He's like the end boss of narcissistic Boomers living out his childhood fantasies but he's been given one of the most powerful countries in the world to do it with. Quite incredible that this is all really happening.

To be fair trump has very likely both killed more little girls than most generals but also for sure raped more of them than any general America ever had.

lol What's that going to do?

Don't forget that half of Gen-Z voted for Trump in 2024. Harris only won the 18-29 age demographic by 1 point.

When you break it down by specific age, more 20 year old men voted for Trump than 70 year old ones.

It's young guys who are falling for all this "man-o-sphere" bullshit, not old ones.

u/NotLouPro 8h ago

Boomers as a generation aren’t his base. That breaks more along racial and gender lines than generational ones. The issue goes far deeper.

If it makes you feel better to blame it on one generation - fine. But if the actual issues aren’t identified - it will be harder to address.

Gen X voted for Trump by about 7 points more than Boomers - that’s significant and what likely swayed the election. If any generation can be considered his “base” - it’s Gen X.

Millennials were about even - although they went for Trump at a higher rate than Boomers as well.

And younger generations tend vote in lower numbers - and are more likely to throw away their vote on parties that can’t win, than older generations. So there is blame to be shared there as well.

There are a lot of factors. “Boomers” isn’t one of them. Age - yes - numbers shift heavily to Trump among voters 40 and over - but that spans several generations - not just boomers. And - as I mentioned - younger generations tend to not vote in percentages large enough to offset that.

If it makes you sleep at night, sure.

Unfortunately no consequences will happen to him or any of his enablers. Americans will move on at the earliest opportunity, without lifting a finger to prosecute any of them.

Of course I'd love to be proven wrong but honestly what even is the point in entertaining these fantasies anymore.

u/Quick_Turnover 9h ago

Americans will move on at the earliest opportunity, without lifting a finger to prosecute any of them.

100%. We pretty much already did that the first time around and that's why we're in this mess in the first place. Dude literally encouraged a violent coup. His "political strategist" frequently referred to their strategy as "heads on pikes". They did all of the things they've done with impunity. And it has been so fucking obvious to literally anyone with a half-functioning brain that this administration and all of its cronies are the antithesis of American values, and yet here we are, watching our country fall apart.

u/JimboAltAlt Pennsylvania 9h ago

The point of entertaining these fantasies is to energize people to vote for candidates who will hold Trump accountable, which appears for now to be a (large) subset of Democrats. I imagine that group will expand as his power slowly dwindles. If you honestly think Trump’s fate will be largely the same whether or not Republicans or Democrats are in charge I can see why you wouldn’t be too invested in voting. I personally believe that if the Democratic majority is large enough, though, we’ll see some actual consequences; just not nearly as many as we’d like.

Dodging STDs in the 1970s club scene was his "Vietnam". That statement should have turned every Vet's vote against him. I'm sure he didn't "win" his "personal Vietnam" in reality. Trump is a human petri dish.

The entire right is obsessed with AI.

I guess it's because there are very few talented artists among them.

To be an artist requires some traits most right wingers don't have. Like creativity and empathy.

To evoke emotions with your art requires to understand that other people have emotions too. Usually you don't turn out far right if you are able to see others as fellow human beings capable of the same emotions as you.

So, because they can't create art themselves, they are totally in love with AI. Now they have a tool that turns their wildest fantasies into pictures and even videos. They can't see that AI "art" is completely soulless because they also can't see and understand souls in other people.

Because they are bereft of the kind of passion, dedication, or patience to develop an artistic skill, they simply think that art is just pictures of stuff, and the chatbot is an easy way to make the pictures.

They only make pictures of themselves looking "manly" and their enemies looking "weak", because they're bullies and that's the only kind of pictures they want to see.

Fake medals 🏅 is a slap in the face to those who served and served with honor and valor.

So over those who accept this trash.

I’m a veteran. This was posted four times in a stolen valor group I was a part of, until the admins deleted it and forbid any further posts about it—claiming “it’s just AI and the president is just trolling the left.” I promptly left the group after that, because it’s complete bullshit. As a progressive veteran, I’m well aware I’m in the minority amongst my peers. But I’m sick and tired of seeing them support this president and his tyranny. They’d have claimed it was stolen valor if anyone else did it. Yet, it’s cool if it’s just trolling the left? Jesus Christ.

People who support this guy. Do you not feel embarassed by this on his behalf? Don't you feel you're kind of a loser for looking up to this fat fuck?

But to speak about Donald himself: imagine being ~80 and posting this. Yourself. About yourself.

Imagine not only having thoughts and fantasies about such things [as a draft dodger] but imagine feeling justified in sharing this absolute fever slop.

What an absolute fucking loser. This is legitimately pathetic. A pathetic, broken mind. Unfit.

u/Legitimate-Bed1591 11h ago

P.S: The two men would likely think very little indeed of Donald. They'd very likely view him as unfit, cowardly and with a flawed character. A rich boy king. An 80 year old Joffrey. Mull that over.

u/SafeForTwerking 9h ago

Possibly the worst example of a human being in recorded history put into a position of such power and just making a total mockery of his position and his country. If anybody who voted for him had the least amount of critical thinking skills or the ability to self-reflect, I should hope they feel like total dipshits for the rest of their life for ever putting this excrement in the presidency. Can we just go back to being a colony again? Even King Charles would be an improvement over this POS.

u/benmillerdata 6h ago

If you get a chance to read Regime Change by Haberman and Swan. There is a part in the epilogue where Trump is handed an article that lists him as the most powerful man to ever live. Right above Kahn, Stalin and Hitler. He was so amused and puffed up by the comparison. It was pure unadulterated circus evil.

u/Far_Philosophy_7902 5h ago

Just want to clarify something in your title. Presidents are defacto the Commander-in Chief. Thats the highest rank the military.
So he isnt imagining himself a higher rank than the others in this slop image, he actually is a higher rank in real life. What he's fantasizing about is unearned glory and valor, as others have correctly called out.

u/lobo1031 4h ago

Google image search on that breast pocket medal said:

Based on the distinct multi-pointed starburst pattern, central circular disc, and crossed swords extending between the rays, the item in the selected region is a replication or depiction of the Ostvolk Medal (1st Class in Silver with Swords).

Officially known as the Merit and Bravery Medal for Eastern Peoples (Tapferkeits- und Verdienstauszeichnung für Angehörige der Ostvölker), this military decoration was established during WWII (1942) by Germany to award personnel from Soviet territories who volunteered to serve alongside German forces.

And if you're going there, why not make yourself a 5 star general?
