already got my wine picked out.
OH I thought they were taking about Jesus…
Trouble is, there’s a long line of equally toxic shitheads ready to succeed him. You think Vance or Johnson will be any better?
I don’t think either of them will get the automatic allegiance of a cult. One can hope, anyway.
Vance definitely doesn’t have anything to pull people to him. Like as much as I hate Trump, I at least see the dumb things he does his cult likes. Vance has none of that. It’s like if Jeffries tried to replace Mamdani.
Let’s hope not. They’re both charisma vacuums. Not that I think Trump is especially charismatic either, but his personality is certainly large and hard to ignore, unlike those two gormless non-entities.
Pretty sure Hitler’s death was international news.
It didn’t spread as fast as this one will though. Every timezone will get the news immediately once it breaks anywhere.
and so was 9/11, and Katrina.
both showed incredible, international outpourings of support, generosity, and kindness, and opened the door to a potential better future.
and both opportunities were frittered away on stupidity and arrogance.
Comparing 9/11 or Katrina to the end of WW2 is a tad inaccurate to say the least.
It’s also simply untrue - it took much more time for information to travel, and no one was ‘celebrating’ 9/11 aside from… well, you should know the types.
My thoughts exactly. I will totally celebrate Trump’s death, but anyone who thinks its going to change anything for the better in any substantial way is sadly oblivious. In fact it frustrates me that so many people seem to think everything will be fine once Trump dies. Already the seeds of inaction and complacency are sewn.
the problem is that trump has advanced the republican agenda by 300 miles (to use a convenient conversational example), and when he dies, the advance will falter and fall back to maybe 250 miles.
and the fools will celebrate that as a return to normalcy and a victory, ignorant to the 250 miles of advancement they made, secured, and locked down by their complacency.
Everyone wants to feel validated like a hero but with none sacrifice a hero does.
Pure envy drives the masses. It is one of the many poisons in the current iteration of society
Katrina and the Waves, the Eurovision competitors?
I know whose death we’ll celebrate next
Kissinger was a pretty good starter.
Bibi’s celebration will be bigger
You guys are a bit optimistic if you think Mitch McConnell’s absence isnt a test run for something.
Even if they’ve heard the name before, not one person I know outside of the U.S. knows who McConnell is. Trump is known and despised worldwide.
They need to do more than pretend he’s at school in Canada. In McConnell’s case, his state of limbo actually serves both parties. Maybe the Democratic party more so than the Republicans.
I’ve no doubt they’ll try to create an animated Trump, but the tech’s not there yet, and he’ll feel wrong to his base.
No cult of personality has survived the death of its leader without an extensive transition process in advance, either to usher in a replacement leader, or to turn it into a cult of an idea.
(I’m absolutely sure they’ll pretend that Trump is sending messages from beyond the grave. That may work for a while, though it didn’t with Charlie Kirk.)
I think they mean testing if they can have a politician be dead and just pretend they aren’t
Trump 2028 will be run dead or alive, exactly.
I’m sure they already have the LLM ready to run his socials.
He means the Republicans will just Weekend at Bernies him to maintain power the same way they are with McConnell.
I didn’t think he’s actually dead, just on life support or unable to function.
Oh there’s definitely going to be some celebrating going on and I imagine it’ll probably be people getting fired and fights at work because it’ll be a bunch of sad weirdos upset because their king is gone . Then it’s going to be the ones who’ll swear that he was “taken out” . It’ll be a celebration but also a bunch of weird shit going on .
I love how everyone knows exactly who this is referring to without including his name.
Also, without mentioning a name, we all know who this is about.
Murdoch? Putin? Bibi? The AI/tech bros? The list is crazy long.
On the world stage the orange pedo clown is mostly a joke. I have a bottle chilling in the fridge for Murdoch.
How could we not? He’s basically the #1 star on this platform.
Naw, that’s The Picard Maneuver.
Trumps a shit stain, not a star.
He’s so stupid, you even know who I mean when I say “he’s so stupid”.
I subscribe to a gaming podcast called Nexlander; they have a subscription tier where they’ll read off your name at the end of their main weekly podcast. Every week one of the names is “Maybe today is the day it finally happens” and I have one singular thought every single time that handle is read aloud.
While we all know who it is, there’s a few deaths that would be celebrated globally.
Honestly there like 3 people that could trigger this.
What’s your top three?
In no particular order: Trump, Putin,
NetanyahuMusk.Musk over Netanyahu, but he is probably too young to go soon.
Actually, yeah.
This isn’t reddit, we can say his name…
They didn’t say you couldn’t. They just pointed out that you don’t need to see the name to know exactly who the post is referring to. Not every thread needs to be about reddit grievances. Move on.
While that will certainly happen, it won’t end the environment that created him or the interests he represents. A brief respite, is as optimistic as I dare to be.
It won’t fix all of the problems, but it’ll definitely fix one of them.
I’m just looking forward to not hearing him voice his pedo rapist opinions anymore. It’s a particular frequency that just won’t exist anymore once his pedo mouth is permanently silenced.
Well, the GOP has many more of those
They’ve burned a lot of political capital with a lot of people, though… gonna take them time to usher in that much political will from the swing voters and a few key voting blocks
No. You’ll get 20 new clowns all fighting to be the new king. With luck they’ll eat each other as they step on the backs of everyone else. You want to see change, project 2025 needs to burn.
Also eat the rich.
You mean we’re not all going to sing the Ewok song of triumph?
I don’t even expect a respite- someone will pick up the “populist” mantle immediately. At best, it would be just a changing of the mask
It’s rare for cults to survive after their leader dies.
I don’t see the movement continuing. Some will rally to the new face, but many won’t.
Even today support for Trump is slowly waning with his base growing smaller. The issue with the American system is he can lose all support today and continue. Even if dems retake a majority in the Senate it takes 2/3rds vote to remove the president.
Trump is just a face to an economic force backing horrific practices. He’ll be gone and the well of money will find someone else to hop in.
Also the condemnation of everyone celebrating will make the people bitching over everyone being indifferent to fuckface Kirk look quaint.
Anyone smarter will damage the country less. Anyone dumber will drool on themselves while trying to speak.
Anyone smarter will damage the country differently. There is currently an economic force pushing the US toward a future where its citizens are separated and specific groups disenfranchised to pull money toward the ultra-wealthy and major voting blocs. Fewer overtly stupid decisions, plenty of horrors to come.
Exactly. He’s an idiot. The ones whispering in his ear, not so much.
A number of people are clearly already trying. They are all failing miserably. Amazingly, none of them have as much charisma, at least not with such a wide audience.
None of them had a 14-year propaganda campaign to convince Americans that they’re “good at business.”
Absolutely. I will ponder this as I sip the bubbly
All this post says about OOP and OP is ignorance. There have been several global celebrations like this. I’m guessing both of you are too young and/or too stuck in a bubble of some sort to know that.
Anyway, I just really hope but don’t expect it to happen before he and his goons makes it mucb worse than it is now.
Name them
Should be easy! There’s several of them!
The condescending genius chimes and claims to knows better than everyone else.
At the same time you share nothing at all about your claim, just assert great and exalted wisdom and expect everyone to believe you. You’re not here to share information, discuss and agree or disagree, you’re here to shit on other people.
What you don’t understand is your comment and the very age and experienced you claim make it painfully obvious that you are utterly clueless. You simply do not understand the reason behind this post, and what’s different in the year 2026.
I’m trying to think about other celebrations you might be referring to. For example… Hitlers death wouldn’t have been celebrated simultaneously due to being limited to the methods of news communication of the time - back then it was radio, telegraph and film so it wouldn’t have been celebrated at the same time. Today, we have smartphones with push notifications. Your other point is spot on, tho… For what ever reason, a person full of hate seems to live longer out of spite.
Little Lindsey fluttered down the manhole to hell and there was no celebration…
Lindsey was an amateur compared to this other guy I know of!
From what I’ve heard, the moon landing was pretty much a global celebration, but yeah, would be a bit different.
Whoever could this be about?
