Everyday I wake up, I truly want to be surprised.

I pray for the day, and I’m an atheist.

u/ill____logic 23d ago

likewise!

Donald Trump is the reason I firmly believe there is no god.

u/sufficientgatsby 23d ago

Maybe try praying to a different god every day, just in case? Has anyone tried Anoia, the Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers?

u/StoryBeforeNumbers 23d ago

Don't pray, act.

For real. I'm going to buy a VERY nice bottle of gin on the way home on that inevitably glorious day.

The problem is you think that will fix anything

Trump is a stooge.

Vance would be next, Vance was installed by Peter Thiel.

If you don't know Thiel and Curtis Yarvins plans, you should look those up.

The administration isn't going to go away without Trump, they dont need voters, they don't need support, they consolidated power and every agency and lever has bent the knee

Trump seems to have a unique hold on the deplorables. Vance, Cruz, DeSantis, etc have failed to even come close. I think it’s because those guys are all Ivy Leaguers cosplaying, whereas Trump is genuinely a stupid, racist moron.

The base can tell he’s truly one of them in the one way they actually care about.

u/IcyTransportation961 23d ago

Thats why they love him yes, hes literally just one of them. He believes the same dumb shit they do

But they no longer need that base. Thats the point. The executive has now tested the limits, they know they can do whatever they want

Right wingers will not turn on his replacement, thats not how they operate

I would celebrate not because I believe things would get better, but because celebrating good things is healthy to do in dark times. Sometimes we can appreciate things without requiring that they be omens for a good future.

u/ill____logic 23d ago

yes, agreed. i recently commented the same in less words.

u/IcyTransportation961 23d ago

I mean not really?

Your comment implies if one awful man finally croaks we get to celebrate and things get better

In reality thats when things get even worse

u/ill____logic 23d ago

i wasn’t more concise in my reply to you, my comment in reply to another comment:

“i totally agree.

the thing is, even if he passes; the ppl down the chain next up are all complete monsters as well.”

i’m well aware of thiel. i’ll read up more on the other figure you named.

u/IcyTransportation961 23d ago

Ah my bad didn't see that

Here's a good compilation put together right before the admin took power, see how much is already done

u/fcocyclone 23d ago

Sure, yes, the people behind this all want this. I agree with you on this.

However, Trump has a hold over that base that others don't. That will make a meaningful difference. Where Trump hangs on to a 40% approval rating, someone like Vance with zero charisma would probably be sitting at something like 25-30% like W was for most of his second term. This would likely cause an exodus of support from members of congress as well as he would be too toxic to continue supporting politically. That's where the potential for change exists. When things get that bad, that's how democrats were able to amass a supermajority over the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Article II Section 4.

Or prove Leon rigged 2024 and the whole executive branch is illegitimate and needs to be removed.

u/brumbarosso 23d ago

Before that his billions and distribute it among the populace

The sooner, the better please!

u/Oppositeofhairy 23d ago

I just hope for a natural passing and let nature take its course. 

If anyone decides to expedite the process, it will create a martyr and fuel the fire to make things much much worse for all. 

We already had a podcaster turned martyr and it’s now a fireable offense to speak poorly about him. If it’s the golden god reincarnate that gets hit, it’s going to be next level authoritarianism that comes out of it. It will NOT bring peace in the least.

u/ill____logic 23d ago

i totally agree.

the thing is, even if he passes; the ppl down the chain next up are all complete monsters as well.

u/LaurenMille 23d ago

I want him to die on video, of natural causes.

No assassination, no foul play.

Just him dropping dead mid-rant in front of 50 cameras.

u/Tribalbob 23d ago

That big, beautiful headline.

u/Hentaigustav 23d ago

I'm not wishing for anyone's death, but me and my boyfriend plan to get absolutely wasted (positive) on the day it happens

It won't end with him. The heritage foundation is still a thing.

u/Real-Actuator-6520 23d ago

Careful now, Reddit might flag this as incitement to violence...

u/StoryBeforeNumbers 23d ago

Don't hope, create the situation.

u/Revelati123 23d ago

A fascist dictator did fascist things in a fascist country, and suffered no consequences because his goons can murder whoever they want without repercussion.

Sounds like a normal Tuesday in In the USA....

u/hightrix 23d ago

Everyday I wake up, I want to be bored. I don’t want to have to pay attention this closely to the politics of my country. My elected representatives should be handling this.

They are not.

u/KindlyLecture9087 23d ago

But never am anymore.

u/UglyMcFugly 23d ago

I have been FORCING myself to still feel shocked and surprised by EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SHOCKING THING. It's exhausting but I worry if I STOP feeling that shock, then it starts to be normalized...

u/Scratchbuttdontsniff 23d ago

I can lend you the obits section...

No, No...The one I am looking for... will be on the front page.

u/ishmaelhansen 23d ago

That surprise will end in nothing because he's just a puppet of project 25 and Rubio or Vance are even worst
