I support trump but only because i hate America

Those actually wondering this are less serious in their disdain for Trump than anyone here. The lemmy libs are so deeply in bed with him and what he represents on every level that they need performative assurances.

no

Trump is great to tarnish America’s image on the global stage and says all of the shit you’re not supposed to say out loud

Summary of thread:

1. Nah he should be executed.

2. He highlights how monstrous the US has always been, and liberals can't stand that so they pretend he is an abberation while communists recognise presidents have always been this way.

3. He do be funny though.

No I do not support Trump but I do hope he wins. The entirety of the American political establishment is our enemy. Would you rather your enemy be lead by a bumbling loudmouth or a duplicitous conniving ghoul with half a century of practice?

I scrolled down decently far, and I'm not sure I'm contributing much, but whatever. I should mention that I consider myself a centrist.

My feelings on it are basically: what does support mean here? I see people complain that we support China and Russia, and I'm not sure how people here meaningfully support them. This is a kind of liberalism in the confusion of being a good opinion haver is a form of praxis and I think it's the result of a too online leftism.

I think what really matters is not some ideological bent over who is "supported", which I guess is posted about online, but what are we doing to advance a political project that advocates for world free from oppression. We could haggle over being in the US with our lawns on Indian burial grounds, and what our place in this world is and I'm amenable to that.

My comrades are the people I know that are advancing that project, I don't care if they think it's epic and yolo that trump had hamberders at the white house or if they think he should be publicly executed, or somewhere in between.

He's funny but I hope he dies tbh

No.

Yes, as a non-American I unironically support Trump over Biden because he is the best chance at the US collapsing and his incompetence keeps the worst of US imperialism at bay.
