The fact that a third of the country are exactly the same really exposes how deep the USA’s problems with mental health go.

This last part is the scary part. Normal humans see Grandpa Klan Robe here raging out and calling for "retribution" and think - someone should take the keys away.

Dumbass conservative apes with broken brains look at that and cheer him on and want to vote for him even harder. 1984 was all too prescient, but that's because he was looking at quite recent events - "We've always been at war with [Greenland|Venezuela|Canada|Mexico]!"

I genuinely think there's a chance that everyone is completely missing his motivation here.

Trump turns 80 on 14th June 2026. He wants someone, be it Denmark or the US Army, to give him a country for his birthday.

What better gift is there?

I'm shocked that no one has burned the pedo-lago club for furries down yet

He hated the US neoliberal democratic order because they snubbed him and wouldn’t let him in their club,

Huh?

He was fully in the neoliberal club...

He got the fucking Clinton's to come to one of his weddings, neoliberals loved him because they were one of the few people he actually wrote checks too. Because he always got a return on it.

The shit about him not liking the Clinton's is just WWF play acting.

Nah hes gonna want her to win an Emmy and then threaten to invade LA despite them explaining Emmys are for TV only.

I will be deeply ashamed if that movie is released in my country

I dunno, I was pretty embarrassed by Dubya, as well, so it feels like its been almost a solid two and a half decades of embarrassment.

Dubya and his middle east clusterfuck is when other nations started questioning US stability and relations but was considered an anomaly.

Trump turned the anomaly into a certainty.

Oh how I wish it was.

As someone with experience with people who are in the MAGA reality bubble, this is because there is no in-canon explanation of Trump's actions (yet, the story writers patch these up pretty quick). There was no setup for this, no laying the misinformation groundwork and no existing goal that this advances.

Since Greenland wasn't part of the story, it just came out of nowhere. Lacking any in-MAGA explaination, they are examining this situation as a normal person who knows normal facts and this is completely an unforced error by any measure as anyone can see.

If this was something that was serious and planned then we would have started hearing about this months ago as they started preparing the lies and the misinformation seeding into social media via paid/artificial content creators or otherwise useful idiots. This is probably the strongest indication that Greenland is a distraction and not a real move. This is probably the case with Canada too, in my opinion.

They would rather people talk about anything but the Epstein files and how they are very clearly covering them up and not complying with the law. They don't want reporters to have time to report on all of the people that he has pardoned who also have made $2-5 million dollar donations to various MAGA PACs, some of them committing even more crimes and getting another pardon...

They need to throw things into the air to distract people. Some of their planned events are polling negative (the Minnesota Invasion, Healthcare Subsidies) and they don't have anything else so instead we get more random tariffs and more random military threats because they are something that the Executive Branch can do unilaterally and suddenly to ensure that they grab the next news cycle.

This is the "Flood the Zone" tactic that Steve Bannon said that they were using during the first admin.

Not enough challenge. We "liberate" "armed" countries from their "oppressors" and go into the very bad places and make things "better"

We're now raiding Sunny Side Daycare. There's no fairytale there.

Conservatives seem to oscillate between isolationism and aggressive intervention. They're both from the stance of American primacy, either using our military for our benefit and to enforce our wishes or saying the world has nothing to offer us we need and that we're better off not extending effort or energy on the rest of the world.

Currently our conservatives are swinging towards isolationism, which is why the anti immigration rhetoric and pulling out of international organizations was very popular. That's not compatible with a plan to forcibly annex another country.

Because Greenland is full of white people. If it were full of brown people, especially if they immigrate to the US frequently enough and “steal our jobs”, we might be hearing a different tune.

Not buying US debt is a long term strategy, not a short term punishment.

Trump only has to keep up the interest payments by selling bonds domestically.

I think most people don't want to throw their life away killing a guy that already has one foot in the grave.

We could probably just send him a dozen hamburgers and he'd finally have that heart attack we've been waiting for.

This idiot still has a 40% approval rating here. Europe you gotta apply more economic pain to us, I already see headlines about how leaders are leaning toward negotiating. Fuck that, bazooka us in the face already!

I guarantee you the majority of people who need to be "listening" are very specifically not listening. They are pretending everything's fine, and they'll keep doing that until it's time to vote republican again in November. They will likely not see this story.

And prior to that, we had Ronnie Raygun. W was embarrassing on a lot of levels, but Ronnie Raygun had the most criminal administration in history (at least so far) and the things they did set us on the path we are still on....

It's bad when bush seems like a sane choice over this nazi pedophile

Bush is a Rhodes scholar in comparison to the fart-weasel we have currently.

Absolutely. Obama is a diplomat. And well learned. It’s like following a TED talk with The Three Stooges.

"TF is a kangaroo doing in Austria?"
