The passive aggresive small d**k energy this person is showcasing is part and parcel of the normalization of authoritarianism and idiocracy in modern times. This is the type of acute mental darkness that awaits all of us if we don’t resist and organize against fascism and the rise of Big Stupid.
Dictators don’t just pop into existence with total authoritarian control, it takes the support of already powerful people to erode the checks on their power bit by bit, which Donald Trump has been doing with the support of his billionaire donors. Fascism emerges out of capitalist republics and has to overcome various obstacles to achieve total authority for the leader. Trump does not yet have total dictatorial power because there are still checks on the presidency that he and his movement have not yet succeeded in eroding.
when checks and balances are ignored and you do what you want with the power you have, I’m not sure how my textbook definition of “an absolute ruler” differs from what is going on now in america.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, though. I dont like being wrong, so if I am, please correct me so i may be correct! :)
I would agree with that but there are actual people here thinking he is a dictator. Its wild. :)
I mean i get it, I joke about it too. But to actually think he is a dictator… :) :)
I guess its Americans and their school system.

You guys organize against people who think Trump is not a dictator, yeah.
Maybe I will see you guys on tv?
For anyone wondering how bad brain rot can get, even here on Lemmy.
This. This is how bad it can get

any reason for the passive aggressive smile faces?
It’s to help them feel smug and superior.
