you’re mixing up trump’s eventual misdeeds with the fact that the usa has undergone a massive transformation towards the right under the eight years of obama.

i’m talking about the seeds which were sown, you’re talking about the harvest which followed. these are two separate things.

each of your assertions have flourished under the manure of the obama tenure – even if they didn’t happen during his presidency.

but, sure. live in denial and give him a pass. just don’t moan when history repeats itself. as a non-american, it’s no skin off my back.

enrol there before them, then.

it’s possible to make tonnes of mistakes, lose, and still claim you didn’t make any mistakes.

that’s not fodder for a pithy quote. that’s denial.

well, one thing i’ll say in his favour: he did kill hitler.

trump may be the iceberg that sinks the ship but people must not forget that it was obama that steered it so expertly there.

whatever he has done in his eight years to engender such deeply entrenched hatred within the populace – so much that even morons like mr. 47 can exploit it so readily – needs to be studied so that it can be avoided in the future.

i love to hate verstappen but there’s only so much one can argue against true brilliance.

it was smaller than Lemmy is now when I first started using it.

so now we know whom to blame for its enshittification

Hamala Karris?

… there are already a bunch of people who are assuming brand to mean scarification by burning since they evidently only read the headline.

anyone who actually thinks that that headline means literal branding is an illiterate dumbass who needs to read more.

anyone who’s trying to sidestep the dehumanisation of prisoners mentioned in the article by throwing focus solely on the literal meaning of the word brand is an amoral dumbass who needs to understand humanity and history more.

there is abaolutely nothing in my lifetime that i have done for 24 hours at a stretch.
