In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

This is literally insane. Like "need urgently to go to book a visit with a specialist" insane.

Could you believe it if you saw it just 4 months ago, with everyone screaming "Genocide Joe"

He actually posted it on "truth" https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114068387897265338

I am really curious to see what the followers replied to that, but i don't have an account

It seems to range from mild disapproval to saying it's a sign of the antichrist but they still support him. Absolutely wild that people could watch this from trump and still support him. Some people replied thinking it was a joke. This is crazy the mental back flips some of the replies have.

Yeah, you can tell the Democratic party is a far superior organization if only because they have a few people in it who were willing to call out Biden and Harris's support for genocide, where meanwhile the whole Republican party will support Trump no matter what he says or does

Remember how Al Franken’s career basically ended when that (certainly creepy and gross) picture of him groping a sleeping soldier came up? That the attitude in general among Dems was “yeah that’s pretty fucked up”?

Unfortunately the issue is those voices get mocked & suppressed by the establishment Democrats in the major public positions of the Democratic Party that are beholden to their donors. I personally would love to see a new party emerge after all this that has a more progressive public agenda.

Best bet is probably progressives just taking over Dems the same way MAGA has it's roots in the Tea Party shit decades ago. Otherwise it's simply not possible without pretty substantial election reform, something neither party has interest in.

True but Alaska has already accomplished passing electoral reform. Republicans even tried to go back to First-past-the-post voting with a referendum last election and it didn't pass.

So now the question is why are the democrats using a voting system republicans prefer and protect in red states?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Same reason we don't have single payer healthcare, they can't get enough votes and have way too much respect for the institution to play dirty.

I'm excited for the 2026 primaries. Dems have some house cleaning to do.

They haven't learned a thing yet. Wouldn't be surprised to see Republicans win more seats.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I'm choosing to think positively.

What part matches the Antichrist?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I never claimed that. just sayin what I read on the replies. Honestly it's not a perfect match but none of the prophecies of the bible ever are to reality.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Oh ok, we're in The same spot. I thought there was something about the Antichrist becoming king of some part of Holly land or something. Seen other comparisons before that were kinda spot on. I don't care for religion, but the last year kinda make me wish end of time could be partially true and rapture getting us rid of Jesus freaks would be a net positive.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 21 hours ago

I think what they are seeing is the parallels to the golden calf and idol worship. I'm not much for religion either tbh.

These were the top few replies on trending. To be clear I made the account specifically to see what fiasco trump "truths" next.

"you dancing with someone other than your wife"

They might have missed that whole Stormy Daniels story...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago

Thanks for screen grabbing these so I didn’t have to go there

[–] jballs 19 points 19 hours ago

I don't know why but the "There is no God in this" got me full on belly laughing

[–] gravitas_deficiency 8 points 22 hours ago

This is literally a thing I have been saying would happen for over a year. This is darkly hilarious.

Ceasefire Joe was putting these kinds of posts on social media instead: nsfl image

[–] [email protected] -5 points 13 hours ago

Yeah Genocide Joe sure loves a dead Palestinian too. I'm so sick of people just accepting status quo.
