Once again, Republicans are the shittiest Christians.

    I’ll watch when it’s tRump, Hegseth, the rest of the cabnet, Musk, and the rest of the evil Republicans being lined up infront of the wall. I’ll set up a watch party and cheer.

    because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things

    Everyone understands that. That’s not a question.

    All this will do is provide something inside these terror networks to play over and over and over to their recent converts. A public execution of these radical attacks only serves to encourage more of the exact same thing. There’s no part of it that’s discouraging.

    These terror networks will literally play it over and over again. They will tell their people. “Hasan killed 13 of them and he is now dead and in heaven for his actions. The US will make you all martyrs and your kin will know your acts.”

    Like Hegseth has literally no clue who he is dealing with. The people who he acts like this will discourage, all it will do is make happier to jump at the chance to have the same thing happen to them. He’s going to make the best recruitment tool for these terror organizations.

        Hegseth probably is. The people telling him what to do…they probably have some idea

        They’re all definitely stupider than shit, but idk if they’d care even if they did understand. They want more terrorist attacks because they think that will get them reelected and they pretty obviously don’t give a crap about who gets hurt in their quest for power.

          The FBI just manufactured, then heorically stopped a terror plot at the Mall of America the other day

          The Trump admin wants terror plots right now, they feel it will help them in the midterms

    Honestly, go ahead and do it. Show the world how far America has fallen.

    America deserves to be in the same category as terrorists who produce beheading videos. This ensures it.

      100%. They’ve been sleepwalking into this shit for 30-40 years, have spent the last two doing “shocked Pikachu” and REFUSING to fight back while the other side escalates into a full sprint.

      At this point they deserve whatever MAGA gives them and I no longer give a shit- the best I can hope for is that their inaction comes back and bites them so hard the US becomes a cautionary tale for every other country where the far-right is gaining steam.

        I thought I was being a bit vitriolic, but you’re literally just a fascist. What a horrific take. You would have cheered on the Holocaust.

        As far as I’m concerned, you just wished death on all my trans brothers and sisters.

          I suspect @wizardoffrobozz@lemmy.ca does not live in the US, and like the rest of us is getting sick of the overflowing toilet spreading turds all over the house.

          It’s extraordinarily frustrating to have no part in US happenings, but to be directly impacted by the dumbassery.

          Things have been getting progressively worse for the last 10 years and Americans haven’t done anything about it. Perhaps you personally have, but Trumpism is the great shame of all Americans - your shared burden.

          What you’ve just encountered is how most of the world feels about the US. No one actually wants you or your trans brethren or any other minority group to suffer, but there’s nothing we can do to help you either.

          It’s not hyperbole to suggest that the best influence Trump can produce overseas is a cautionary tale demonstrating what happens if you elect right wing idiots.

          So, with the greatest respect to you personally, I have to inform you that my respect for Americans generally is at an all time low.

            Congratulations! Now you know how most Americans feel too in this fundamentally undemocratic country.

              My point is, in some ways it’s worse for us because we dont have any opportunity to promote change.

                Funny that you think that Americans have the ability to stop this short of a violent revolution that nobody really wants.

                Also, please, you are not a bigger victim of American fascism than the people living under it’s boot.

                  That’s a text book false dichotomy. “Oh we couldn’t possibly do anything at all because we would need a violent revolution which would be awful”.

                  Also, I said “in some ways it’s worse”. We are not living under the boot of fascism, yet we have to bear the consequences despite having no opportunity to influence the outcome.

            Literally all it would take for me to give Americans even an ounce of respect would be for them to make even the most modest effort to live up to the national mythology they’ve spent the better part of a century congratulating themselves for and belligerently forcing down everyone else’s throats.

            No, I don’t hold other countries to the same standard, because they haven’t spent generations lecturing the rest of the world about their unparalleled courage, their moral superiority, and their supposedly instinctive resistance to fascism. They made fighting for freedom the centerpiece of their national identity. They demanded admiration for it. They treated any failure to provide that admiration as an insult. And now, when history finally asks them to demonstrate a fraction of the courage they’ve spent eighty years taking credit for, the pants-pissing cowards decide they’re helpless little babies and HOW DARE YOU, FOREIGNER?
