You wait until trump dies. The whole world will be having a week long street party.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@piefed.social 53 points 1 month ago (5 children)

If he dies without seeing any consequences for his actions, I'll be a little disappointed (and not even slightly surprised). I'd rather see him live a long and miserable rest of his life behind bars.

But I guess sometimes we have to take what we get...

I thought like this when Biden was elected. I thought it was only a matter of time before Fatboy McKiddieFiddler was behind bars...now I just want him gone. And for just one person in america to have enough spine to go after the rest of that crime family and enablers.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

This is how I've been. As much as I'd love to see them suffer for their crimes I just want them gone from this planet as quickly as possible.

The suffering of hanging at the end of a rope or the fear of knowing the bullet's coming is enough for me

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

He ensured that with this last election. I said it after his first election. No consequences will happen to him. We may know he did wrong. But all he will do is point out the weak points in our system. It's on us to fix them.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

At this point he just needs to be gone as soon as possible. Preferably in a very public and humiliating way, related to his age and health, so he can't be turned into a martyr for maga.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

As satisfying as it would be, I don't want this over just being done with him. Seeing how shitty things are, there's a chance he doesn't stay behind bars. It also doesn't actually do any good, besides people just getting off on revenge.

I'm pretty done with revenge fetish shit. It's a large part of why our prison system is so fucked up. If you're trying to reform someone then fine, lock them up. If you're just doing something for revenge then I'm not really for it, especially if it comes with a large risk in the unknown future.

(This isn't to say I agree with the death penalty. The justice system fucks up far too frequently to allow it to have that power.)

Leaving him only behind bars is something too soft, kind and indulgent. He has to suffer something equivalent to what he's caused.

For like a day, assuming his handlers didn't already have a worse replacement at the ready, which is likely.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago

Vance is already the VP.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I just want to be able to hang out with my neighbors in the middle of the street while burning a Trump effigy and getting shitface wasted. We've earned it.

The right celebrates every leftists' death. The right especially likes to celebrate trans suicides. The right has no right to complain about fairness.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

The right does nothing but complain about "fairness".

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hypocrisy and projection are firmly built into the right-wing mindset.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

They're permanent victims cuz they're permanent pussies.

Maybe we should start giving them a reason to feel victimized.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Sartre's quote about antisemites

[–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 72 points 1 month ago

Yeah, and the right celebrated RBG's death. And Robert Mueller's. So what?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago
[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then put on some leather couch cushions to try and cuck Mrs Vance

Whoever did JDs hair and makeup is killing it. True visionary.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 month ago

We also celebrated Hitler's death, what's your point?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Every time I do it makes me laugh

[–] rustyfish@piefed.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The day he was killed someone posted the uncensored video somewhere on the Fediverse.

I downloaded it.

Send it to friends and family.

I send it to coworkers.

I joked.

I laughed at other people’s jokes.

It was beautiful.

If you’re a fascist pigsau and don’t know how to have a good time, it’s your own fault.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm still very much celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. My friend and I send each other the video on a regular basis. We like it when awful people die.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Never gets old

[–] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Luke warm take: celebrating suffering of others is non-political. When you dislike someone strong enough (and you're not, like, a committed buddhist or smth) you're gonna, its only human.

Personally someone gleefully gloating is kind of a turn off though. I prefer my gloats with a touch of shame and self-consciousness 🤷‍♀️

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I agree with you in most situations, but there are exceptions.

The people who have spent the last few decades spewing bile nonstop are upset when they get the mildest bit of pushback. How very predictable.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago

The right doesn't celebrate death? Did I fall into an alternate dimension or something

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

On principle, I don't celebrate anyone's death. I mourn the loss of potential to do good, however unlikely it might be to ever be realised. Imagine what his influence and charisma might have achieved, if he'd turned his bullshit around.

I do celebrate the end of people doing evil, however. I am glad he stopped being a lying, manipulative piece of shit. I hope more of his ilk will follow his example.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

if he’d turned his bullshit around

I think it's safe to say a college dropout who chooses to spread hate and misinformation to make a quick buck is probably not redeemable in any way, shape, or form.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, hence my "however unlikely it might be to ever be realised".

Anyone can have some significant personal event that fundamentally alters their outlook and worldview, sort of like a " coming to Jesus" moment (though it would have to be the "help the poor, treat the sick, love your neighbour, fuck the rich" version of Jesus and also more of a metaphorical personification of decency than the altruistic bait of a toxic cult).

But if we can't have that, then anything stopping him from (personally) doing more harm is the next best option.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Excuse me but celebrating and rolling on the floor laughing my ass off are two distinct things

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 4 points 1 month ago

Also notable, celebrating, and "not being (performatively) upset by, are also two distinct things.

Because it feels like the fake 2nd coming mourners were more upset a lot of people were loke, "oh well, he was a garbage person."

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, I would not say celebrate, but it did make me quite happy for a little while once I've seen the video which made it clear there was no way he would survive that. That was of course before they had officially announced his death.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

I absolutely will say celebrate. Said cheers and everything.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

No one cared about this guy, only the right wing filter bubble did.

The algorithm shows them what pisses them off. All it needs is one person making fun of their Horst Wessel and it's all over their feed.

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't even knew he existed before the assassination

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I'm glad to know he isn't as popular in real life as Internet made him out to be before he died.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I still enjoy the video. Pop pop.

[–] Chrglstr143@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Who would have thought that the neo-fascist pushing for the reintroduction of public executions would be publicly executed?

[–] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I've never actually seen someone celebrate their ascension like that, but damn she'd make a good movie villain.

Fuck Charlie Kirk.
