Hexbear, various lemmy libs want to know, do you unironically support Trump? Sorry for the tedious question and thanks if you bother to answer it lol. If you do respond please be kinda serious.

no need to write an essay or anything

some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don't know what's serious and what's irony

I would say 100% of Hexbear posters believe Trump should be immediately summarily executed. In the mean time, though, he's a great comedic subject.
- no more half measures walter
  
  I haven’t even seen the show, and I’ve maybe heard the audio one time, but I see your comments so often that “no more half measures Walter” in a deep gravelly voice is now a common thing in my internal monologue lmao
  
  Honestly I just looked up the original scene now, and I'm kinda disappointed that the line wasn't delivered in nearly the same way as I expected.
- If this is not your opinion of Trump and every living (or dead) American president then Hexbear is not the instance for you, folks.
- thanks for responding to this, it's more than I deserve lol
- along with every US president and anyone that perpetuates imperialism

  you have to escape the leading spaces with " " in order to make them render properly
  
  SINCE WHEN
  
  since forever, it's a markdown thing. 4 leading spaces creates a code block.
  
  You're right - I was just mistakenly thinking of the last time I used the stalin gun emotes to do the same thing and DIDN'T do spaces
  once again Markdown remains my greatest enemy
- I disagree, I think we should give him the Puyi treatment for no other reason than it would be really funny
  
  At the absolute least he should be truman show'd
  
  We'll put him in a large terrarium where he's told he's still president as he is subjected to more and more bizare staged scenarios just to see what he'll do. Like one day we just replace his entire staff with people who look similar. One day we just let fifty dogs in to the white house. We tell him he has to open. Diplomatic channels with the deep ones who have emerged from the pacific. Just to see what he does. The man only watches one tv channel it wouldn't be hard to control his entire subjective experience.
  
  Have a series of ports hidden throughout the office so we can poke him with a stick every so often.
  
  The whole thing is built on a series of hydraulic pistons and for a dollar you can use a joystick to shake his cage and watch what he does.
  
  Brb, need to watch trump recreate the Virtual Insanity music video.
  
  I’m really upset I can’t watch this
  
  I am 100% puyipilled because reforming arch-capitalists and political types into good communists is infinitely crueler than granting them the sweet release of death with their beliefs and ideals intact.
- It's like, if the goal is the collapse of America, he's probably the best bet yeah? If shit collapses he'll probably get executed anyway by his own base of psychopaths.
  
  if the goal is the collapse of America, he's probably the best bet yeah?
  This assumes that fascism isn't effective as capitalism's immune response, but I'd argue it is.
  
  Yeah, but the competentish fascist we were afraid of turned out to be Robinette Brandon. Covid ended, wars accelerated, he's doing that faux-populism thing, new levels of state persecution of minorities, elections looking less legitimate than ever, jingoistic nationalism.
  
  Its not. It only heigthens the contradictions. Take it from someone who was born in a corporatist state. That type of regime is extreamly fragile.
  
  The fascist regime itself is inherently unstable. It's not meant to last. It's meant to stop socialism. It always collapses back into liberal capitalism.
  
  accelerationism is a right-deviating tendency.
- I think a lot of the confusion comes from how people here derive amusement from his stupidity, whereas with Biden and Obama the contempt was more open (because they weren't clownishly, openly stupid, just malicious or more run of the mill incompetent)
- To anyone in future linking this comment or thread as evidence that we are not
  supporters, also note that this here is the second highest up-beared comment on the site.
