      Most of Trump’s base was probably cheering him on until he got to this part:

      “The same low-IQ trash who watch the fast and furious franchise.”

    The soap boxes, ballot boxes, and jury boxes didnt work.

    the Nazis are laughing that you’re calling them Nazis, all while they’re making plans to kill you.

    “You got a vasectomy because it was forced on you for having low IQ. I got a vasectomy because I refuse to subject another human to this batshit world. We are not the same.”

    But idea of offering feral populations financial incentives for voluntary sterilization is completely taboo.

    What the hell does ‘feral’ mean? Does he think there are actually feral people in the USA in any double-digit quantity in this day and age? Seems insane.

    Anyway, Project Prevention already exists to pay meth addicts to voluntarily sterilize themselves (reversably). That’s actually a good cause, because the children of meth addicts have serious disabilities that cost taxpayers millions of dollars and cause a painful and unpleasant life – much better that that child be born to somebody else. We don’t need this lunatic saying insane shit about feral children and mass sterilization.

    Wait, wait, wait. I thought they were just bitching that we don’t have enough people, now they want mass sterilization? Can they make up their minds?

        Yeah, I feel like people are missing the part where he literally said “Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.)”

        He is very clearly talking about a certain demographic, but because he didn’t explicitly say it, he can still deny it. But we all know exactly what he meant.

    He’s a white supremacist. He means black people. Note the bold.

    In October of that year, he responded to a video of people in a neighborhood in Atlanta, saying: “When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”

    “Where do these population reduction conspiracies come from? All I see is trash multiplying,” he wrote in January 2023.

    In May of that year, Beattie wrote on X that “It’s not politically correct to say, but low-IQ, low-impulse control populations lack higher reasoning and moral faculties—they require strict corporal punishment and threat of violence to function properly within a society. Instead of anarcho-tyranny, we need Singapore for the dumb and violent, and Sweden for the more elevated.”

        He mentions air jordans as an incentive. Literally the only more racist thing would be saying he can have slave eunichs because he gives them watermelon.

    Hello to my Americans friends, and an outsider looking in, we have a very famous saying about the situation you’re currently in. It roughly translates to, “holy fucking shit, you guys are totally fucked”. Honestly I’m baffled by the seeming lack of tangible response from the general public, I understand 30 odd % voted for this and another 30 or so couldn’t be bothered. But the rest of you should be shutting down everything, how are you just holding these weekend protests and hoping for change. Cripple the bloody country! The longer you wait the worse it gets.

    Sincerly someone who knows what Dictatorships are.

      I feel this way every time I wake up. I am a pretty avid history enthusiast. I know what the parallels are. I know the direct analogies to what’s happening here now.

      It ultimately boils down to the fact that the vast majority of the country is unable to mount a general protest because we’re all wage slaves, and healthcare is tied to having a job here, so we’re all predominantly conditioned to be nice little worker lemmings for the most part. And then there’s the imbecilic “exceptionalist” streak that a lot of people have, which is more or less the societally-toxic idea that you’re just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire who hasn’t come into their own yet.

        That’s the problem right there, right now you NEED action, no revolution was won and no government overthrown by people tweeting, and we all know how well “Thoughts and prayers” works.

          That’s easy to say from the outside. Say I do all of that, sacrifice everything for the cause, but there’s no groundswell of the same afterwards. So I just gave up everything, and accomplished nothing.

          Yes it’s a pretty negative and defeatist attitude, but the country is far too large compared to most European countries for fast response gathering to really work, and the media is complicit in covering up news about things like that, making that outcome extremely likely.

          I’m just a school bus driver so it doesn’t really make a difference either way what I do versus something like retail or fast food workers, but there is a different way to do it here than in countries the size of a small state. I just don’t know what that is.

            It is easy to say from the outside, however I say this as someone who took part in mass protests hoping to bring down a massively corrupt government who literally stole all the peoples money, I’ve been tear gassed, water cannoned and had rocks thrown at me. I mean no offense to you at all but yes, it is a defeatist attitude and unfortunately I can’t offer any options as to what to do, but doing nothing will enable your freedoms and liberties to be eaten away altoghether. I think people are more prone to react once it affects them personally and that’s understandable, especially how most American workers are held hostage by their jobs (paycheck to paycheck living, health insurance etc).

            I wish you luck friend.

      I’m and American and yeah, I figured that one out for myself years ago. A lot of us did. There’s just not much we can fucking do about it.
