    How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it “to own the libs”.

    Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.

      Also makes me suspect that republicans have zero clue who they can run after The Donald. Why else would they even bother trying to mention having the guy in office after 2028? The methods to do that are either a constitutional amendment (they don’t have anywhere near a big enough majority to get one through) or unconstitutional means (scary, but also way more work/trouble than running a competent candidate and winning a normal election). It would be way easier to start grooming the heir apparent if they had any clue who that was.

      These people only tell jokes that are of the “punching down” variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it’s always “bro, it was a prank” to dodge ownership of it.

      That’s how the party of personal responsibility works.

      Let me speak from experience that there is no such thing as an ironic Nazi. Every single “bro, it’s just a joke lol” is followed by a silent “…unless?”

      It’s a joke until it’s not. Same people that hurt your feelings and then say “I was just joking” when called out.

    Why it’s missing a star? Directly printed from the ai prompt?

    It’s not that difficult to clone a star with modern software…

    I don’t think we should start criticising people or movements for being un-american. It feels nice to use it against the fascist because you are hitting them where it hurts but it also normalizes the kind of nationalism they use to persecute oppressed groups.

    Regardless of that idolizing Rome is actually very American. The Germans idolized it too. The west loves its empire

      I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)

      They don’t even idolize the Roman Empire, they idolise a version of it that fits their views. Fascists always alter the past. Otherwise they would be having gay orgies 24/7.

        I don’t share your concerns and am not going to take the time to hunt down another one.

        You don’t have to be a dick, it totally looks like some shopped meme.

          I wasn’t being a dick, I was giving a straightforward answer. I don’t have a concern that the photo is shopped, I find it entirely believable, and so of course I’m not going to take the time to go looking for more pics. Even if there are none yet, it wouldn’t prove this was shopped.

          The banner is not really the problem, shopped or not.

          Now the right hand side of this on the other hand:

        When trump has asked about a third term, it has been jokingly. As far as those pushing for it, I don’t think it would pass. If it did though, he would still have to get elected again by the people again. I dunno I just don’t see it happening.

          When a fascist “jokes” about taking and keeping more power, they’re not joking. They’re absolutely serious.

          He wouldn’t have to be elected again. He lost the vote last time and still tried to launch an insurrection to overthrow the legitimate government and maintain power. He’s learned a lot since that failed attempt. He’s dismantling the government and the checks and balances by the day. There won’t be anything left to stop him in 4 years. He will not leave willingly.

            lol, he didn’t try to “overthrow” the government at the previous election. He did the same thing Hillary did in the election before that.

              he literally did, definitionally he launched a failed coup. At the very least an attempted insurrection.

              He did the same thing Hillary did in the election before that.

              complete disinformation, hillary contested the results, which is a thing you are legally entitled to doing (she later retracted that statement publicly) trump has NEVER once retracted his statement, he STILL says it was stolen.

              Even you don’t believe that.

              Nobody here is going to play along, so I don’t even know what you think you’re doing. Getting “persecution points?”

      Similar to how he’s claiming Zelensky is a dictator for not having elections? I have a kettle that I’m about to paint black.
