wear safety goggles when you go party, cops will be shooting people's eyes out with "rubber bullets" like they do every time we end up in the streets

u/Facts_pls 4h ago

In many countries, cops would be celebrating too.

It's only the US that needs to tackle the underlying issue that got him elected in the first place.

Trump isn't the issue. He's a symptom of the issue.

u/Hungry-Broccoli-7193 3h ago

Trump is a system, but if anyone thinks the JD “the couch” Vance has the same pull with the base, they’re wrong.

u/pyalot 1h ago

It‘s not about that particular populist cult or Trump, they are the symptom. This rot of the US society has been long in the making, across many administrations. It won‘t get any better regardless of who gets to the levers of power. Infact the whole partisan debate misses the issue entirely, it‘s just theater for the masses to keep them distracted to never quite figure out what‘s really wrong.

If not real bullets, as we've been seeing multiple examples of lately.

When he lost in 2020 all the cops did was stand around and cry, so here's hoping they do the same thing.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 4h ago

you think people standing around crying deserve to lose eyes? why do you hate americans so much?

u/UghFudgeBwana 4h ago

By "they" i meant the cops. Lots of footage of them in full riot gear standing around crying their eyes out during all of the parties going on after trump lost in 2020.

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys 1h ago

These days, when I drink, I get dizzy and nauseated and hot, and I have to be helped to bed. That pisses me off SO. MUCH. because I used to love Veuve Cliquot champagne and I would have a bottle of that shit in the freezer ready to go.

But. I will go buy the biggest fucking yellow cake with chocolate icing that exists in town, and I will go face-first into that fucker. If you want a slice, tell me before I jump.

Do you have the Special Edition "Victory Celebration" theme too? Or are you saving that for when ALL the old tyrants are gone?

The other day my mom said she only watches the news to see if he’s died yet, and I told her, “you won’t have to turn on the news to find that out.”

u/Beard_o_Bees 4h ago

His grave may become a pilgrimage site for those wanting extra reassurance that he's, in fact, gone.

They should maybe consult a civil engineer before burial though - just to make sure the steady stream of urine doesn't cause too much environmental damage.

u/PM_ME_CUTE_SMILES_ 3h ago

Stalin and Hitler's probably were waited for even more. But it says something that I need to write those names for this comparison.

u/fishguru257 3h ago

Unfortunately as it's being shown with no reports yet on ol' Mitch finally kicking the bucket, 2 and a half months later, I have a feeling it's going to be at least a few months to possibly a year after the fact that we'll find out.

1

u/Cloudhiddentao 3h ago

Trump is worse than Hitler. At least had the good sense to take himself out.

u/1ForgottenPrincess 3h ago

y'know the beginning of Wicked when the children frolic through the flowers announcing the good news of the witch being dead?

I daydream about that moment sometimes, playing 'no one mourns the wicked' on repeat.

That old Russian joke about the man going to the newspaper stands every day lives in my head rent free.

"You always look at the front page, but never buy, what are you looking for?"

"An obituary."

"Those are printed near the back, sir."

"... Not the one I'm looking for."

u/sleepytipi 6h ago

I have a dear friend who is, and trust me she would love to be the one.

It's interesting. There's never been a more universally hated figure in the US and despite that, there he is. Still shitting his pants on capital hill. Hated by every living person and it doesn't seem to make a damn bit of difference. Best I can hope for is that it never happens again. And if it does, please Gods let it be the end of this mess. It still feels like we're stuck in a chapter that should've ended over a 100 years ago.

u/eventualist 6h ago

The historians are really gonna look back and have a laugh and wonder how a country that strive to discombobulate and dismantle our education and ends up as a bunch of stupid pokes. They're gonna wonder why did they choose this?

Wait... we're already documenting it all 🤔

16

u/IrascibleOcelot 3h ago

Historians will look back and wonder how this happened. They’ll write books, create new avenues of investigation, build entire treatises on what went wrong. Psychologists will do the same. Monuments will be built that say “never again.” They’ll congratulate themselves on evolving to being more enlightened than those poor, dumb schmucks we were. And in another 80 to 100 years, they’ll watch in disbelief as it all starts over again, and they’ll be powerless to stop it.

And then they’ll say “oh.”

12

u/KriegConscript 3h ago

maybe popular historians who get published in op-eds will be confused, since they're stupid. in actual academic history where the stuff is written and analyzed, everyone is 100% tired 100% of the time. they have never wondered why any of this is happening

u/commosion 2h ago

Polybius anacyclosis :(

u/Erainor 6h ago

The problem is he is still supported by 1/3 of the country with another 1/3 not voting.

14

u/sleepytipi 6h ago

It's also a really big problem that the 1/3rd who doesn't participate feels as though they have no representation whatsoever.

And taxation without representation has a bit of history in the US.

u/Lucifang 24m ago

By law we have to vote in Australia and it doesn’t make much difference - people who don’t care will vote for whoever their parents do, or draw a penis on the form, or not show up at all and risk a fine.

The challenge is getting people to CARE.

1

u/Murakami_Ysera 1h ago

The problem is our elected officials are all bought and paid for by the same people and it's just kabuki theatre at this point.

They all need to be unemployed.

11

u/silence-glaive1 5h ago

I don’t get it either. But he’s not universally hated. His cult followers would die for him (and they pretty much are). I’ve got a neighbor who has a shrine to him in his garage.

u/sleepytipi 3h ago

That's sickening. Sometimes I wonder if those people aren't some sort of soulless NPC and that's not a healthy mindset to have.

-1

u/ExerciseSad3082 2h ago

Hated by every living person? No wonder people can't take people like you seriously with such statements

u/Temporary_Abroad_211 1h ago

Yeah, you're right. We should include the dead.

u/SaucyStoveTop69 6h ago

Gross. Hell no. I'll let someone else touch him.

At least the smell of formaldehyde will be an improvement.

u/Okidoky123 2h ago

Super glue is easier.

u/urmumlol9 6h ago

Low key, that was probably the main reason to vote for Harris (apart from all of the other more important reasons of course).

Imagine just never having to hear Trump’s voice, or see his face, or care about his continued existence, ever again, because he’s now just a guy, or better yet, just rotting in a prison cell.

That’d be more satisfying than anything.

Unfortunately, we could never fully forget him, because we’d risk repeating the same mistake, but to only have to mention him very occasionally in passing, as reference to someone corrupt/evil, or to only have to hear about him maybe once per month, or once per year, would be fucking amazing.

But you know, inflation or something, so we couldn’t have that, because we can’t have nice things apparently (and Trump’s going to make sure to see that we don’t).

16

u/KashEsq 4h ago

That's what we thought we were gonna get when we voted for Biden in 2020, especially after January 6th happened. But his DOJ and feckless AG Garland really dropped the ball on throwing the Orange Menace behind bars. That asshole and all of his accomplices should have been in prison well before the 2024 election.

1

u/DaenakinSkygaryen 1h ago

Garland and the DOJ went after him as agressively as they could. But it was hard to move fast when the Supreme Court was constantly slapping them with more and more restrictions on what they could do, forcing them to take absurd detours that added months to the investigation before they could move forward with legal motions that normally take a few hours tops.

u/Lucifang 21m ago

I’m certain there are powers beyond Presidents and Prime Ministers and Kings and Queens who secretly run the country. The ‘leader’ is just for show. And when the leader tries to expose them they suddenly die.

•

u/Beautiful-Comedian56 0m ago

Exactly. The fall of America needs a face, and Trump is the perfect fit. He's doing a great job of it. No one has done more to destroy a country in as short a time as DJT. He's brought more chaos than anyone has ever seen.

36

u/supified 6h ago

But there isn't silence. In this comic the suggestion is he's still there still talking about the same stuff, he's just too far away for us to notice on the last frame.

16

u/drainbamage1011 6h ago

So, still an improvement.

11

u/juniorRjuniorR 6h ago

I would accept that.

1

u/eisbaerBorealis 2h ago

If a Trump rambles in the empty void and no one is there to hear him, is he making a sound?

1

u/discipleofchrist69 1h ago

lol. so no silence exists anywhere because there is always sound at other locations?

There is silence in the last frame, because he's too far to be heard

u/Lucifang 19m ago

And he’ll come back later as a celestial villain

When a charismatic authoritarian dies, his cult falls apart pretty quickly. Happened with Gaddafi, happened with Mao Zedong, happened with Romania's Ceaușescu in the 80s.

u/skip6235 4h ago

One day in the future I will wake up, spend the whole day doing ordinary stuff (probably go to work, have some dumb meetings that could have been an email, pay a bill or two, make some dinner, watch a movie) and then go to sleep. And throughout that entire day, I will not once think about Donald Trump.

And what a glorious day it shall be.

u/OnyxLeigion_ 4h ago

Technically it’s just a theory. It’s a theory most physicists agree on, but also one they will tell you could change as our understanding of dark energy develops.

2

u/TheCrassDragon 4h ago

I just hope he lasts long enough for the snake to devour itself around him and suffer some form of consequence. If he dies now things will keep getting worse but without his chaotic bullshit getting in the way of it all. Or maybe it'll let MAGA collapse and congress will finally grow a spine? I honestly don't know anymore. I think it could go either way depending on when and how it happens.

I'm tired, and very worried about what November is going to bring.
