2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Really interested in how he will deal with the rising oceans and climate change and how he will blame it on the gays or something

My money is that he continues to just not acknowledge it while it continues to get worse

[–] BettyWhiteInHD@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

He and his ilk will likely acknowledge it, but only in a way where he'll blame people that weren't responsible for it to deflect just like they always do.

These people are constantly gaslighting and shifting goal posts and there will undoubtedly be a time when they will recognize that climate change is real, but pretend that they've always thought so, but with their own wacky spin that blames some kind of vulnerable minority.

Hey there's lots of Jews down in Florida, right? I'm sure that's a scapegoat trope that won't play out again! I'm sure fascists that have targeted minorities won't act like scorpions in the near future!

Man it all looks bleak if you assume people like him are going to be in power, so vote and fight like hell to fight against them. Don't let these dipshits drag our country down into a bloody civil war full of wanton violence and despair that it has never seen before. That shit will sink this country, its economy and its people like a brick, so don't let them while we still have a peaceful time and ways we can act.

This is how it will be done

It's all the hot steamy sex that causes those hurricanes, obviously.

He'll be gone before it matters enough to regular voters
