    Basically the whole Hexbear most upvoted consensus was that all US presidents deserve to be executed, the DNC and GOP are the same, but Trump at least is funny, kind of authentic, and triggers the libs.

    Also lol that observer article aged like fucking milk. Clinton couldn’t have found a better way to self-destruct her chances at winning the election.

        This is the one: https://alexandrite.app/lemm.ee/post/5802627

        The real consensus seems to be that he should be hanged just like all the other presidents, and that they find him funny because he is not as subtle as past presidents at doing the evil stuff.

        The point I have seen being driven through is that they don’t care to just mock people for their ideas and they really love to criticise without offering solutions besides violence and letting it all burn, which is a non-answer to most non-tankies, so there’s an impasse.

          I just find it very funny that on one hand people say they offer no solutions but on the other hand people say they want to discuss it too much and it’s exhausting, they clearly have solutions which is Marxist-Leninism, that has been made abundantly clear over and over so how can one say they offer no solutions?

          So them saying he’s comical (which he is)but should still be executed for his crimes is a bad thing?

            Executed for the crime of being a US president, nothing to do with his policies of attacking minority groups.

                I’m going off what gets posted and upvoted and interacted with.

                It is possible there’s a comment buried in there that covers Trump’s record of policies and rhetoric regarding minorities, and I missed it.

                  So you think it’s as simple as, “well they hate presidents so they want them all to die and who cares about minorities!”

                    Not “who care about minorities” but “we exploit minorities for political advantage”.

                    IE label everyone who disagrees with you as a transphobes, place all transpobes in front of a firing squad

                    Also actual transphobes (such as most of Russia) gets a free pass.

                    It’s not about fighting transphobes, it’s about fighting people who aren’t authoritarian communists.
