Trumpite Americans, when will you finally acknowledge your leader is a joke?

    I was going to type something similar.

    Most Americans are probably aware of the Nazis making Jews wear the gold star. Some of them may know about the pink triangles that they made homosexuals wear. I doubt that very many at all know about the red triangle.

    Speaking for myself, I know quite a lot about WWII history (though mainly the military aspects of it) and I still had to look up what the red triangle meant. :(

    It isn't.

    Anyone who supports Donald Trump and intends to vote for him needs to be reminded over and over what it means. They can claim they don't believe it, but at least they should not be allowed to say they never heard about it.

    I wasn't aware of the 14-word pattern. (I've had a couple of very busy days here.)

    Which is probably why whoever was behind this campaign thought it would go unnoticed by anyone except those to whom it was directed.

    They didn't take into account the "nerd factor" and the power of social media. If someone knows something, a million people will know it before long.

    Our duty is to make sure that more and more people understand what message the "re-elect Donald Trump" campaign is putting out.

    Having been the killed messenger more times than I can count anymore, I can see this logic.
    But I dunno, I can see the argument for going after it too.
    Nazis will always hide behind clouds of obfuscation, doesn't mean you don't point them out.
    I've exposed racist twitter dog whistles, and that got heard.

    Donald Trump is a poor, ignorant person's idea of a rich, intelligent person. Their insecurities ("I'm not racist, I have a black friend, but many black people just want welfare instead of working for it," "I'm not anti-immigrant, as long as they get here legally!") only align them further to his side because they honestly believe he's making the fat cats in Washington pay. So all of these obvious fucks up to us are sheer master strokes to the people counting on Trump to make them feel better about themselves. Goes for some liberals, too.

    Well, it's illegal for you to send money to Americans and have them donate that money to a political campaign of someone running against Trump or other Republicans, so that's out. No way you should ever think about doing anything like that. And once a person donates $2,700 to a campaign, they can't donate any more and have to start donating money to PACs, if they want to continue to financially support a candidate, so it's not like you could significantly up the funds a particular candidate would have. I mean, every little bit helps, of course, but Presidential campaigns are billion-dollar operations these days.

    I would suggest, however, that you put pressure on your government officials to pay close attention to what's going on in the US and to take action of some kind. Because as bad as Trump is, I don't think that he's the one you should be worried about, and I doubt that the person we should be worrying about is really well-known on the national or international stage at this point. At 74, the damage Trump can do, is limited. He's unlikely to be a Robert Mugabe who lives to be almost 100.

    If you want a comparison to who Trump resembles in history (to a slight degree), then Friedrich Ebert, wouldn't be a bad match. (For those of you who aren't terribly familiar with German history, he's the guy who was running the show before Hindenburg was elected.) Biden's not a bad analog for Hindenburg: Elder statesman, past his prime, doesn't really understand the issues happening in the country, etc. Unless Biden makes significant progress to fixing things that are fundamentally wrong with America, we can expect that the Republican who runs against him in 2024 will build on the foundation that Trump has laid. That's when things get really scary.

    Of course, if Trump wins this year, it's not going to be a picnic for anyone. I'm doubtful he'd be able to go full-on fascist since too many people are expecting that, but the amount of damage he could do would be severe. And would certainly pave the way for someone else to do so.

    The only things that I can think of, for non-Americans to do, since donating to political campaigns and groups is illegal for foreigners to do is to amplify every pro-Democratic and pro-Biden thing you can find on social media. The old adage that "sunlight is the best disinfectant" is wrong. One need only look at the fact that Trump got more media coverage than anyone else in 2016 to see that. So make the signal those in opposition to Trump as strong as possible and drown him out of the news cycle.

    I can't stand seeing that woman because she's the doppelganger of a photographer friend of mine who, beyond the uncanny resemblance, is nothing at all like that girl.

    They actually work an hour away from each other.

    They're a Christian singing sister duo called Camille & Haley.

    Here's an interview with them on why they support Trump. It may melt your brain, because what they say actually makes no sense:

    I'm on the record predicting that riots will break out at some point at one of those rallies.

    Absolutely - also I'm pretty sure he wants rioters to tear the city apart so he can push the "lawless Democrats" narrative

    This is why people call you racist. It is because you bark at the racist dogwhistle without a doubt or question. That makes you a racist.

    They look about the right age for donnie little hands to give them a private weinstein audition in the epstein room in mar-a-lago. Use that young and pretty when you have it republican ladies, and remember babies mean big settlement.

    It is not like they were doing anything else of value.

    I spent a long time overlooking his level of racism at work and in life, and it has not made things any better letting them get away with it. In my lifetime it has just become more and more problematic trying to let the old racism die quietly, and that means people like him have gained ground to the point where we have an openly racist POTUS who does not even bother with dogwhistles anymore, and concentration camps for hispanics which went on under our first black president. They had their chance to quietly die off. They didn't go along with the social contract of keep that shit hidden or we have to do something.

    It is like the contract I have with bugs and spiders. If I don't see you or evidence of you, then there is not a problem. However, if I have to see you, or if I start to see evidence of you it is squashing time. @oldfella1962 made himself quite noticeable as a complete racist and made piles of posts defending racism and trying to make this place smell of his racism. I prefer the smell of burning racist shit to the smell of racist shit so I am lighting them on fire, and since he is making them the flames hit him too. I am not sorry, it is not going away, and fuck his racist ass. Cry me a fucking river OF because I enjoy the salty taste of your racist tears.
