it’s really concerning that one of the most influential people on the planet giving a nazi salute multiple times is being white washed by most media sources

So Trump signs an executive order for TikTok to be sold or banned. 4 years later the Supreme Court upholds the order so TikTok shuts down. Trump then assures them the ban won’t be enforced, so they come back online with a message to all users thanking him for saving the app from his own ban order. He then makes $43 billion and becomes one of the richest men in the world overnight through supposedly pulling the rug on a shitcoin which in fact seems to be a payment for revoking the ban. And now Americans are waking up to this? Facebook, Twitter and now TikTok. We’re witnessing the establishment of state run media in the US

Try searching for #democrat on insta. You get this:

#republican is fine. It’s wild

I think it might be time to get off the internet soon. YouTube is my only vice these days but I think it’s about time to limit that

Wow you’re right. That is absolutely fucked.

Trump is basically a reality TV president. People want to see him do crazy shit from day one, both for the entertainment value and for his ability to get audiences shouting at the TV. It’s no accident he was the face of The Apprentice for years.

I think that was true last time he was in. This time its power/money/get out of jail/mad nazi enabling/dickead president

Ok, so ALL of the films and TV shows where a powerful meglomaniac runs the country/world is about to come true? Who is gonna be the crazy hero/vigilante to bring them down? Or does the real world not work like that?

I’d like to hope that the system and a fragile majority will keep a check on some of the worst excesses. But who knows anymore.

Im hoping his body or mind craps out and they find him dead on the bog like elvis
