I thought BabylonBee liked Trump? Or is this one of those weird right wing conspiracy things, where they think the President of the US and the richest man in the world are somehow teaming up in secret to destroy the Powers that Be? Rather than, you know, literally being them.

They believe that, yes.

Are we gonna get Jan 6 2.0 but even dumber and funnier

A bunch of techbros storm congress and are shocked when it doesn't turn out like they practiced in their HOI4 game.

Jan 6th but they split into pro-Trump and anti-Trump and they all just kill each other on the white house lawn would be pretty cool imo.

I want to make the popcorn if they do this

This, but it's the scene from Gambo Thrones where Jamie and Cersi Lannister die in the rubble

Is this like how God helped Trump get elected so he could destroy the US. 🤔

Anyone that writes like that and not immediately delete it and instead press the post button needs to be sent to an education/labour camp.

Do it, Elon. Bring the government crashing down. Everyone will love and respect you and laugh at your jokes and your children will talk to you again. C'mon, do it do-something

Samson dies doing this, so go ahead, bud

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Think of how much stronger Samson would be if he were addicted to Ketamine and spent all day being bad at video games

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What kind of Elden Ring build would Samson have?

Pure STR

Unreasonably so

How can someone agree with this, and claim they love America? The government structure is one of the main tenants of America. What do you enjoy about this country if not that?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I feel like the American continent has some good geography. Andes mountains, Grand Canyon, Atacama desert, Niagara Falls, cenotes...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

sucks that half of those have a yellow filter that really mutes their vibrancy and grandeur

All of that existed before America and will exist after it is gone

Absolutely, none of this has anything to do with the government of the United States. When Americans say they "love America," 99% of them are thinking of things other than the USA as a nation-state. This is why they can't fathom the concept that someone would hate America, and why it upsets them so much. I've had this conversation out with dozens of boomers and terminally burgerbrained xennials. Political literacy simply does not exist in the US.

The 1% of people who are talking about loving the concept of the US as a political entity are Hamilton libs who are imagining civility, decorum, and the aesthetics of American democracy. Everybody else is thinking about baseball, the Mississippi River, grilling in the back yard, or some other vibe that has nothing to do with the federal government as it actually exists.

If the government isn't letting me enslave my fellow man it's not my government! After all that's what the founding fathers wanted!
