I like the aquarium they put him in.
If you look at the camera footage of him rambling on there are people walking by at the other end. So presumably it’s to stop some passer by taking pot shots at him from behind.
Nah, it’s an aquarium, his species needs warm, moist air.
Be better if it was full of water.

Doesn’t Matter. Go vote. The bigger the numbers, the harder it is for them to cheat a victory.
Well said
Congratulation to the bell-end below this comment -322 and counting. Good work
And when they do still cheat a victory fight harder than you ever had
Nah, every arm is attached to the same monster.
Wow, you’re so smart. Instead of participating in democracy I should just stay home and post smugly on the internet. That’ll make the revolution happen.
How is americas democracy real when it’s all marketed and bought and sold to people?
if it wasn’t real, why would musk spend $500m + to fuck with the election?
no really?
Why would an extremely rich, extremely stupid man burn cash on a vanity project that backfires stupendously?
Idfk.
But it’s beside the point.
How is americas democracy real when it’s all marketed and bought and sold to people?
The fuck kind of dumbass non sequitur is that? Potatoes are marketed and bought and sold to people. How can potatoes be real?
Goddamn you must be the smartest human alive to see that.
I don’t think anyone has ever noticed that before.
I take that as forfeiture of this debate.

Go back under your rock, cretin.
No one at all that responded even tried to educate me. I don’t know how you all see it… But that looks bad for your cause.
How could a mere mortal such as myself possibly debate an intellectual titan like yourself?
I, for one, would never attempt to debate FartMaster69.
Hard question that will get your screamed at by people who prefer easy answers
What about this is hard to understand or answer in any way? People are dunking on him because of the opposite-- the question is so easy to answer that to think bringing it up is a good point is laughably naive.
the question is so easy to answer
:-/
It is, but not for the reasons you’re willing to stomach
It seems pretty obvious that two things are true:
- The votes people make are used to determine who gets elected
- People try very hard to influence how people vote
That makes it fake how exactly? Surely a fake democracy would not have the first property?
If the worst you can do by voting is nothing, you should probably still do it.
I doubt billionaires would spend the amount they spend on elections if they didn’t have the capacity to do anything.
Never in my life have I ever encountered such intentional stupidity. I pray to never encounter such again.
You fucking Americans get the government you deserve. Unfortunately, so do the rest of us.
Wannabe anarchist throws grenade believing it’s a laser pointer.
They’re a loser, or a right-wing troll
I mean, what’s the difference?
All right-wing trolls are losers, but not all losers are right-wing trolls.
Super obnoxious, I’m surprised they’ve been around for 9 months without me blocking them.
I’m an anarchist, and I don’t want to have anything to do with that fucker.
Most of the ones I see arguing like that are .ml tankies, anyway, not anarchists.
I’m an anarchist, and I don’t want to have anything to do with that fucker.
Average Anarchist Opinion
Guilty as charged, I guess.
Damn anarchists, they ruined anarchism!
AI:dr - “Don’t vote and don’t try to encourage others to vote”
Thanks for the user block recommendation. It’s nice when y’all make comments this fucking dumb that I don’t even need to think if it’s worth seeing anything else you have to say.
Don’t worry buddy, we all figured out you were a shill from sentence one.
thank you! I’ve never seen someone more unpopular than me.
Funny how creatures like this always come crawling out from whatever festering pile of putrefaction they were hiding under, wherever anyone mentions voting. Almost as if there was some kind of coordination happening there.
Particularly whenever there’s a US election coming soon.
Respectfully.
Fuck.
Off.
Why respectfully?
Memes mostly.
Haha, good one.
…oh, wait, you were being serious? How unfortunate it is for you to be you.
The very informative and educational responses here worked! I’m voting Republican.
You didn’t need to add that edit, we knew that you were voting republican from your both sides posting
Your reasoning is so faulty that, given the choice between being forced to eat 1kg of shit and 10kg of shit, knowing that no choice made it more likely to be the latter, you would say ‘It doesn’t matter, we’re being forced to eat shit!’ then end up eating 10kg of shit, because protesting did not disempower those who would do that to you.
If you had preferential voting, you could vote for no shit over any, and less over more, but you don’t, so you can’t.
With his edit it’s even like:
"You make fun of me for eating 10kg of shit instead if 1kg? That’s it, I will keep eating shit for the rest of my life and throw some of it at you while I am at it. "
This is, by far, the most downvoted comment I have seen in three years on lemmy. You win… something? Best at being the worst?
“It ain’t honest, but it’s much.”
Say it with me, diversity of tactics. You will AC eve nothing by simply NOT voting either
Diversity of tactics, I like that. I’ll have to try that out sometime next time I’m arguing with a non-voter
This has to be satire. Otherwise, I’m glad it only took getting roasted in comments on Lemmy to completely change your edgy view about the merits of voting. Since you’re gonna be voting after all, I guess you want to live in blissful ignorance again.
I particularly like how your last two lines work so well together.
Our modern society exists from the “rape” of honest human beings. I’m not going to vote to continue that.
Edit: […] I’m voting Republican.
No this is moronic. Go vote!
No, hear him out!! Participation feeds the monster! Peace is ignorance! Voting is rape!
Foreign propagandist that doesn’t want people to vote in the US midterms. Seems legit.
You’re the reason nothing ever changes, and history repeats itself.
I’d tap the breaks here.
“Random guy on the Internet is responsible for everything” is always a simple minded take
You know, I at least respect your willingness to try to engage in good faith with this lunatic.
Says the person doing literally nothing except blocking positive change lmfao
Non sequitur asshole
Block these morons and move on.
Your a slave thay lives for the progression of the slave master. Indoctrinated, groomed and living you one single life existence under Stockholm syndrome.
You’re
You’re a fool that lives for the progression of the slave master. Indoctrinated, groomed and living your one single life existence under the guise that your neighbour is your enemy.
American failure is not a measure of human worth.
That’s not what his paycheck tells him. It’s likely the company motto of the person that pays him to post things like this.
I said this elsewhere but I’ll repeat it for you.
If you’re unwilling to commit tax crimes to prevent your money from funding full blown fascism, then the absolute least you can do is vote against the full blown fascists spending that money.
Write your own name into the ballot if you want to be a dumbass about it,
I do, whenever there’s only one unopposed candidate, or in the rare case it’s two Republicans against each other. And I get a few others to write me in as well.
Who knows? Maybe one of them will happen to die right before the election, and that will leave me (with all of 3 write-in votes) as the remaining winner.
Was that a rally? I thought it was just a press conference.
That’s a smally.
Considering who’s up there, it’s probably a smelly
Not a rally.
It looks like mostly reporters and DOI employees probably forced to be there.
Trump treats any appearance like a rally.
Yup. At the rallies the bullet proof screen also goes along the front of the stage. This was just a media op.
And at least 80% media who are being paid to be there.
What’s with the human fish tank?
To help prevent him from becoming a good Nazi.
That’s to keep the dirty diaper smell in.
Don’t tap the glass please. Keep the stink inside.
To stop all the bullets being fired at him from every direction
he must love the smell of his own shit to want to sit in a cube of it.
He looks like the creature from David Lynch’s Dune.
Seems to be mostly press people. At least he can console himself by insulting and bullying some of them as the rest do nothing to intervene. Although, he’s probably already convinced himself of the absolute reality that millions were in the crowd. Billions, even.
On an aside, you just know there were people sitting in the press van on the way back from a rally, thinking, “I’m gonna do it. I swear I’m gonna do it! Next time I’m gonna bring a ladder!”
Who the fuck is that old lady way over there?
Why is his wife never around anymore?
Who the fuck is that old lady way over there?
The large one up on the stage?
I think you owe an apology to every old lady ever. Comparing them to a sack of shit like that. You should be ashamed.
And yes, I have already apologized to sacks of shit for my statement.
Calling trump a sack of shit really is a terrible metaphor. Sacks of shit prevent shit from spreading everywhere.
And at least half of that crowd are reporters.
This looks like a sound stage
This happened on the National Mall in front of the reflecting pool. He spoke about his “success” renovating the reflecting pool, including a bunch about the pipes. Utterly disconnected from reality. A true “emperor has no clothes” moment.
How is it not news that he’s “giving serious thought to renaming it the Trump reflecting pool”?
Cause we all got bigger fish to fry than the ramblings of a demented old rapist.
Do we really, though?
Wait, I thought that image was a complete meme, not that he actually greenscreened the reflecting pool for the broadcast!
I think that’s just the grey sky reflection you see on the photo. Looks weird due to the tele lens.
The video shows him walking around and driving around the pool in his limo
Oh, yeah, you’re absolutely right. That makes way more sense. I thought he might have been so paranoid he shot in some parking lot 😅
Honestly, it looked like a parking lot or airport tarmac to me as well. Still a bit weird how uniform grey the reflection appears to be
He’s “kept more promises than he’s even made”, you guys. All of them and then some.
Way bigger than the crowd he was waving to before boarding his plane
Fuckhead is just now a mouthbreathing puppet for the oligarchy and Putin.
I don’t know what you mean, its jam packed in there!
It looks like it’s all reporters still. Those guys are literally getting paid to be there.
Soros bussing in the rioters! /S
When his stupid fucking visual aids. He looks like a timeshare salesman
I love that he knows he’s hated enough to need a bulletproof wall all around him.
It’s a solid wall, just needs some mortar, if you know what I’m saying.
Someone could chuck a grenade over the top, so it needs a layer on top. Someone could use gas, so it needs to be absolutely airtight. When they make these improvements, I’d be keen to attend the rally and enjoy the show.
Jail bars would have been better but this will do for now.
