The Oval Office, then and now.

Some people think gold shows they are rich when in reality just shows a lot of bad taste. Btw poor people can have the same fireplace using.dolar store spray lol

I hate to beat this very dead horse, but tacky is the thing that least jumps out at me here. I mean. This literally looks like Nazi decor. The eagles, the frowning busts, the ornateness, like...

All tinpot dictators prefer this kind of "style".

That Gadaffi Drip
- More like gadawful drip
Honestly he's not even doing THAT particularly well. This looks like it could be achieved in about half an hour with a trip to a craft store and a truly batshit amount of gold spray paint.
- That's probably how they did it.

This picture makes me fucking ashamed to be an american. What a backward-ass shithole country we've become.

And the election was not even rigged. You did this to yourselves in plain sight. It is super duper pathetic. From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world to an insane, self-mutilating idiocracy in like a couple of decades. What the fuck!
- Let's be clear, all US elections are rigged in many different ways. This is why the Texas gerrymandering is an issue as well as North Carolina in the past, and I'm glossing over a lot of cases and other methods that are used because it isn't worth my time mentioning more than those two.
- No it was rigged. That's why they cried so hard when trump lost the first time. They all cried voter fraud because they were doing it themselves, after all, how could a cheater lose unless the other side is also cheating? They just learned how to do it better this time. Dump even talked about how muskrat knew all about voting machines. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
- ...it may have been... there's some evidence of tampering on the devices. Believing that helps me sleep at night.
- What is inspiring about stealing land to build a racist, genocidal, capitalist empire ?
- Well trump literally bragged that musk used his resources to tamper with voting machines.
  Putin said that he hoped Trump would win and admitted to authorizing large "operations" (read: massive astroturfing campaigns at the least) the help trump win. Clear foreign government election tampering.
  Not to mention that in 2020, every single republican blew up and made accusations that the election was tampered with and throughout the past 2 decades of history at least, literally every single time that they mass accused people of doing something, it was because they were projecting and they, themselves were doing it. They were obsessed with accusing the other side of voting machine tampering, if it was projecting, then they themselves were likely doing it or attempting it.
  Additionally that there is a far-fetched (read, no presented evidence) report from an ex-cia whistleblower that it was tampered with
  A conspiracy theory that I personally think wouldn't be crazy is that the voting machine tampering was already done in 2020 by the republicans on a very small scale as a proof of concept, and they made a massive multi-month campaign on it, tired everyone, judges and population alike on the baseless claims they made so that when they full-scale began vote tampering, nobody would believe anyone that wanted to investigate possible vote machine tampering. They might have weaponized the boy who cried wolf principle.
- My thoughts exactly. At least in 2016 we had the small consolation of him losing the popular vote. Now we see exactly what this country is and it's just sad.
- A concerted effort by parties interested in destabilizing the boldest and most inspiring nation in the world. Sure has been something to watch and be a part of. Future feels incredibly uncertain. Good luck, rest of world!
- From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world
  Jesus Christ, and you're saying this about the Bush era. Americans really are the most propagandised people on Earth. Pure zealots
- He got 49.9% of the popular vote.
You're only ashamed now?
- Started with Dubya but now it's in full effect.
- They're only ashamed when their team doesn't win. Every bad thing they did was totally valid because again, it was their team.
  It's called "American values" where the only thing that matters is winning and crimes against humanity don't matter.
This is what makes you ashamed to be American? You need to work on your priorities.

Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east

Hey, relax guy
Well you're half right.
Wouldn't even be surprised if someone from MBS's team is involved
- MBS
  Mohammed Ben Sulayem? President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) who is trying to be a corrupt dictator of Formula 1 racing?
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Ben_Sulayem
  
  (obligatory /s)
- Maybe their new friend, Al Qaida Jolani the headchopper's influence?
Well they invariably are the US best friends.
Bad thing happens in the West
Liberals: "What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!"
- Tankies just can't stop simping for dictators with pathetic disingenous strawmen.
- Go back to your reddit

New money energy.

I also didn't notice it until my friend pointed it out to me a month ago. I was too busy being upset when Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyj to notice their hip hop gangsta crib at the time.

Pimp My Whitehouse
Trump reminds me of Baron Danglars from The Count of Monte Cristo. Both are tasteless nouveau riche bankrupts with repellent physiognomy.

Tacky as hell. This administration has all the class and style of a Spirit Halloween store.

Spirit Halloween knows exactly what it is though. It's not posing or putting on a front. It may not be Sperrys with flat front olive chinos, but it's certainly not pretending to be anything but itself.
- I could hear John Oliver while reading that.
How ya gonna do Spirit Halloween dirty like that
Hey, my Italian grandma liked this kinda shit! She... she also managed a Spirit Halloween store...
Americans have no taste

Only thing he's missing now is the golden shower.

He got that already got that in Moscow

There's a ton of scholarly and peer reviewed articles and studies on the "architecture of fascism" the "art of awe" etc, and how through history, grandiose and gilded decor and architecture has been used to manipulate, convince and enthrall the masses.

Example: https://www.ucpress.edu/books/propaganda-and-the-jesuit-baroque/hardcover

how through history, grandiose and gilded decor and architecture has been used to manipulate, convince and enthrall the masses.
Even to this day, we have Wehraboos. If I am a historian and with plenty of time to research and make takedown videos on Nazism, which unfortunately i don't have at the moment, I want to make videos on dispelling the myth of Nazi superiority and how they are given way too much credit.
Plenty of people do not realise that the Nazis are not different to third world dictatorships. Similar to Trump having a fight with Federal Reserve director, Jerome Powell, Hitler didn't want to listen to his economic minister, Hjalmar Schacht, that Germany's excessive government spending is going to bankrupt the country. It was in late 1930s that Germany's coffers was running out, and it was not a coincidence that Hitler invaded Poland and, to his own surprise, the Allies declared war. Hitler was trying to plunder the wealth of Poland to stave off another economic collapse, like how the previous annexations of Sudetenland and Austria gave them financial cash injection to go a little further.
Fact of the matter is that Hitler and the Nazis were lucky to have inherited strong institutions, namely the Prussian military culture, to have lasted longer than expected. All things considered, the Nazis were merely poor gamblers whose bluffs were eventually called out and ran out of cards. The Nazis were just winging it (I mean, he did not expect the Allies to declare war on him, and he admitted that the planned invasion of France through the Ardennes forest turns his stomach), which is not too different to other tyrants and dictators like Nero, Idi Amin and Muammar Ghadaffi who make decisions on emotions.
People of various inclinations should just stop giving too much credit to the Nazis. I suspect that the current right, with their mountains of cash support from oligarchs, possess the machinery to perpetuate the propaganda to re-normalise fascism. Nonetheless, the Nazis are inherently weak and incompetent. People say that the Thousand Year Reich may well have happened if they won, but objectively they will run out of money in ten years even if they conquered the entire world, because they are that corrupt and incompetent.
- Similar to Trump having a fight with Federal Reserve director, Jerome Powell, Hitler didn’t want to listen to his economic minister, Hjalmar Schacht, that Germany’s excessive government spending is going to bankrupt the country.

  This is why I'm convinced he will truly invade Canada and possibly Greenland. His economy is already fucked, and Canada has too many resources to leave alone.
Yeah. I know that the "Eagle Displayed" heraldry has been on the American coat of arms since before it became associated with the Nazis, but it's still a little sinister how they seem to be leaning into it as a motif a lot more this year.
It's the ultimate in bulletproof dogwhistles, because literally nobody can judge you for waving an American eagle around, and yet somehow it seems disproportionately popular amongst Neo Nazis...

Catholic Church has entered the chat.

I'm GLAD we Gutted my VA Benefits to be Able to afford THAT!

If you ever get another Dem president, which is doubtful, it's going to take a minute to hose out the whore flair from the White House.

We need a working class president not some corrupt neoliberal democrat with no teeth
- You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.
  The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.
  And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.
  The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.
- buddy you need more than 2 fucking parties to begin with
- Electing a working class president won't fix this. The system needs to be abolished.
  We need to learn to build our own, parallel system of people's bottom-up power.
- The corporate dems fight those harder than any republican.
  Good luck with that.
It'll take 4 years to get the stink out of the WH.
- Just in time for donald Jr to start from where daddy left it.

Class vs cheep ass

"Daddy always said, you can't by class, but you can watch people try"
- I guess you meant to say 'buy'
- Facts.
Typo and you meant cheap?
- Oops!
- No, that's fake news. He didn't make a typo, that's just alternative spelling.
This really is the American liberal in a nut shell: "at least our monstrous war criminal had class!"
- Did... You not see the same picture we did?
Keir Stürmer and Genocide Joe
class
I mean fuck trump but you dont have to hand it to the pair genocidaire
- Pretty sure the commenter was talking about the interior design
- They don't care about genocide or anything that's outside their navelstaring country.
  Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X.
  The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them.
  All they want is to go back to their bubble of 'democracy' where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.

Looks really byzantine, kinda something some russian tzar would have done if they were re-decorating

Jesus, that is so gaudy.

Peh, copy cat

The difference is that this is in a historic imperial palace (Yildiz palace) with (refurbished) historic imperial chairs... They don't just look like they were build for the padishah, they were build for the padishah (Abdul Hamid II).
- Well that is another reason why he is a copy cat. Even Biden sat on the golden throne but haven't seen Trump's photo there. He wants his own golden plated furniture.

Tacky...

Painting over a pedophile's mistakes is going to be the theme in America for an entire generation.

If you are intelligent you wouldn't need to talk about it because, people would know it from your thoughts and actions.

If you are a good leader you wouldn't need to talk about it because there would be more people following you than protesting you.

If you are good at making deals you wouldn't need to talk about it because you'd have a stack of deals to prove it.

If you are good at business you wouldn't need to talk about it because you would have a lot more successful companies than bankrupt companies in your history.

Etc etc etc.

This smacks of "look how well things are going !! If things were going badly would we be able to afford all this gold?"

Beware the man who is eager to tell you how good they are at something.

Donald Trump just has awful taste. He want to surround himself with shiny "gold" things and always has.
- Will that may be true in itself, but why does he fixate on gold in his decor? I'd argue it is about the projection of success. His hotels for instance, he wants them to be seen to be the best in the world so he puts gold everywhere in sight because in his simplistic view, money equals success and gold is the most visual representation of money without actually being money. Just my take on the why behind him liking shiny gold things. He's just importing it to the white house now.
I know people that like Trump in the UK and the thing I’ve realised is people don’t check anything, if orange man says something they believe it.
When I’ve been shitting on Trump my friend said yeah but he’s a good business man though and I’m like no he isn’t, he started life on easy mode and has messed that up several times. Hell man can’t even profit from a casino.
Sadly though it doesn’t matter if people are willing to believe a 5 second sound bite and it takes 5 minutes and some knowledge to debunk that claim then it’s futile as they’ll just put out more sound bites.
I find it ironic that in a world with a wealth of information at our finger tips people just don’t care enough to check. I’m not a smart man, but I was gifted with the power of curiosity and a willingness to look up stuff and find the truth. People are just ignorant on the whole and only care about surface level stuff.
He got the apprentice because all the real businessmen were busy. No joke.

I was sure this was photoshopped and there was no way that was real...

It's real. This is just unbelievable.

NYT did a whole article about it, here have a free one. 86 47! Epstein files!
Trump’s Oval Office Is a Gilded Rococo Nightmare. Help.
At least this money wasn’t wasted like the money spent on US aid and healthcare
- Well, if you cure someone they can get sick again, this will be ugly for years!!
If the chairs are the same, someone spun the saturation dial way up
- They have no pattern to the fabric in the before, but they do in the after. They have been reupholstered.
Me too, I cannot believe it. How garish

You could have decided not to turn up the saturation to make it look worse, as it looks already terrible...

Is it saturation or just room lighting? This could also just have been a different camera with different settings. Not like Trump hires competent people.
- Look at the wall papers and chairs. The lower picture has saturation upped to the limit. But true, maybe that was the original photographer and not whoever assembled this meme.
- A photographer would know to make sure all that gaudiness gleams brightly to please HitlerPig.
I dunno, I think he looks terrible at any saturation.

Dude has a gold fetish. Your president, america. Choke on it.

He's the real life Goldmember, isn't he?

Can you imagine his member being gilded? Golden mushroom!
- 🤮
- That would imply he had a dick in the first place
The dark genius of this administration is people will connect better with an over-the-top Hollywood villain than a qualified, competent and measured professional who knows what he's doing.
It's not even a matter of agreeing with policy. Average voters are dumber than FUCK and always have been. But Trump worked in media and franchises like WWE/WWF and learned how people just want to see spectacle and don't even give a shit about actual politics. An average idiot is going to be dazzled by gold and pageantry but the shit between their ears that pass for brains will make up stories to explain why they like seeing shiny things. "Well, I like his plans to do... the stuff, for the things... I guess. Yah, woke is bad!"
And this narrative just comes from the fact that they had their attention captured better from Mr Pisspants than any alteranative.

You can't buy taste.

What more proof do you need that a pee tape exists? That’s the aesthetic of someone with an insatiable golden shower fetish.

Clarification:
The Pee Pee Tape purportedly shows Trump directing two underage prostitutes to pee on the bed that Barack and Michelle Obama had slept on when they visited Moscow during his presidency. This amused him greatly. What went on beyond that with the underage prostitutes is unknown, but we already know that's his type. Now we know the kinds of activities that he finds amusing.
- That sounds like the kind of stuff his base would not only enthusiastically forgive, but even celebrate for triggering the libs.
  His advisors likely knows this, so when crawl around on all four to obey Putin, it's not because his forced to but because he wants to.

Fuck that is ugly

And the decor is awful too.

It looks like the Kremlin...

Those eagles remind me of something, but I'm not thinking Russian...
- I have seen the eagles you mentioned in a the central lift system of a structure. An elegant lift if you ask me, nice polished wood and all that. The eagles were just decorations.
  They were made very well tho.

His polling is wild and all over the place. He's underwater, but so are the dems.

https://www.realclearpolling.com/

Gross

Yeah, and the decorations are too.

I can almost spot the remaining human rights in the lower image's fireplace.

Ah yes, the look of every dictator's palace. Loads of gold. Only thing is, most dictators have a form of taste, Trump clearly does not.

Name one dictator that has taste…
- Kim Jung Un.
  I mean .....have you seen his latest haircut?
  🤤
- To be fair, they said “a form of” taste. Which I think is a significant distinction.
  Cuz like, the Nazis definitely had a very strong aesthetic. Not exactly “tasteful”. But I can see calling it “a form of taste”.
- Have you seen the costumes of the SS? The German tanks? The epic bunker, mountain mansion and cars of Hitler? Have you seen the palaces of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Putin, Sadam Hussain, Gaddafi, Kim Yong Un? They were/are fucking evil but they did/do have style.
  It looks like Trump wants the same but ordered everything from Aliexpress.

It's to hide all the piss stains.

Tacky

trinity broadcasting network aesthetic.

Also, this isn't the epstein files.

Maybe if he puts enough gold in the room the cameras will self correct so much he's not orange anymore

........thats actually not a terrible theory as to why he does this.
- It's actually so hilarious it must be true and you should tell everyone
he has more gold than ODINS throne room.

Almost as if he is into being showered with gold 🤔

Mans tacky

Trump: Democrats have wasted all our money. I want to make our country more efficient.

Also Trump: Please gild everything within my eyesight.

Thar doesn't seem accurate.
Trump never says "please" unless he's talking to Putin.

This photo doesn't do it justice. I recently saw a wide, pan shot of the Oval Office when Tim Apple was slobbering on HitlerPig's fat ass, and he he has filled every empty space with those ugly gold doodads.

They should use them as kindling when he gets burned at the stake on the White House lawn.

Gold is tacky

The classiest amount is none

the piss yellow chairs are really the chefs kiss.

Even crazier, they are the same chairs. If you look at the woodwork, they are identical.
They have been reupholstered to that, with a fine pattern that appears to make image compression struggle with the edges of people.
- I am not sure they are reupholstered, everything is over saturated in the second image, the floor, the wall and even the marble.
- It looks more saturated to me.
  Basically same chair and upholstery but the saturation was boosted +5
- Even the bits not against the chair seem blocky.
  It's like they're so far detached from reality that they've disabled anti-aliasing.

"I PROMISE IM NOT A TASTELESS FASCIST, GUTTING SOCIAL SERVICES AND SELLING INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AS A MEANS OF EXTRACTING VALUE FROM THE WORK OTHERS PUT INTO BUILDING THIS NATION, AND FUNNELING IT TO THE ULTRA-WEALTHY FOR MY OWN PERSONAL BENIFIT!"

Now he just needs some gold chains and giant rims on his limo.

Holy shit, I thought the first image was just desaturated at first. Really giving gilded age 2.0 vibes.

I think it is slightly, or just different cameras. Those chairs are the same on both photos.
- Could it be all the gold fucking with the white balance?
- They could have been reupholstered, it looks like the ones in the bottom pic have a slight shiny pattern while the top ones don't. But it does look like saturation is off even looking at the paint on the fireplace

Cheap and gaudy. Looks like absolute shit.

We're gonna have to bulldoze the whole fucking building when that shitstain finally leaves office. It's going to smell so nasty. 🤢

Fuck Trump as much as the next guy but each president does get to choose how to decorate. I have to agree though, it does look like absolute shit. Definitly a bad look for the United States.

Gaudy septuagenarian trash ordered by a racist whose flesh is rebelling against its host body

Tacky af. Almost as tacky as a gold toilet. And just as useful. A fine place to take a shit.

Not representing the US anymore. Not even the 1%.

Clearly he still has plenty support, otherwise he would've been dethroned already. Let's not pretend that he doesn't have any support anymore.

Why did they delete the grass? :(

This can be taken as a hint of status and capitalism and profit at the expense of destroying ecosystems and nature, but what luxury and a lot of pathos and gold and power.
- exactly, they are hinting and what they want to do
Probably a favor to some family member in a construction company. Nepotism of some kind.

Good taste vs. tasteless.

Gaudy

Kind of looks like putin's "secret" house

From milk toast to trashy spray paint gold "On our next episode of Flip this Government"

Milquetoast?

Fuckin put the screen back on the fire place you dumb-shits! Even with that atrocity of a log stack, you don't fuck around with fire.

I mean they probably want a reichstag fire so they can proceed to the enabling act
I prefer they burn that shit down.

I love ggggoooolllldddd

https://youtube.com/shorts/A68EDhERPlQ

Tacky & classless, what a complete arsehole...

there's something to be said for the various differences in color saturation and lighting.

Eww. Just eww.

all that gold is disgusting in every way possible. that gold/money and the work that was put into putting it there could have help in child cancer research, or helping the poor and less fortunate around the USA and the world. Trump is not what America stands for and him defacing the white house like he is, is prof of that.

I hate to break it to you, but Trump is exactly what America stands for...
Everytime I say that about gaudy old churches I get a very different reaction. Every religion does it but its "art" or "symbolic" so somehow that gets a pass. Fuck opulence in every setting.
Is it solid gold or just gold plated junk?
- God, I hope the company that they contracted with lied to them and just used brass or something.

No class.

I don't think gold is allowed in hell.

Hell doesn't exist

The Gilded Age is back, boys! This time with a predesigned recession that's totally not gonna ramp up into a depression!

Is that what MAGA is talking about making America great again?
The great depression?

Did anyone else From Melbourne immediately think of Franco Cozzo?

Grand Sale!

He treats the Whitehouse like hos own personal house. Is that normal for presidents?

Not uncommon. Several presidents added to the decorations or 'renovated' parts.

looks like something Gaddafi would design

I mean we know he has a thing for piss...

★☆☆☆☆ – third rate Austin Powers cosplay

Donny 2 Dolls, The King of Kitsch....

*What is the meaning of the word kitsch?

: something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality. 2. : a tacky or lowbrow quality or condition.."

Bling bling era.

It’s like Catholic Church vs Protestant Church. 😭

Thanks for inspiring this meme.

Oh nice, is that the Kremlin?

Kremlin has style, Trump does not.
Kremlin looks very different kind of weird https://repost.uz/pokaji-kabinet

I’m surprised the logs in the fireplace aren’t gold.

Glorifying the man rather than the office... Is a Hallmark of a King. Not a President

Fucking disgusting. The room too.

Looked better without that fat orange man in it.

Oh god, what are all those things on the mantel? They look like random wine glasses that were covered in some melted gold, some... scales(?) the same way, and then some random ceramic goblets with spray paint?

I don't even want to start thinking about what the busts.

It's all trophies he bought himself for being such an awesome guy
- One for each child he raped and threatened into silence.....

“Oh, and don’t forget the two gold Nazi eagles on each side of the fireplace.”

That looks like it has to be photoshopped... but damn, it's not.

The chairs and walls should be the same colours. I think the WB is off on the second one. Probably still looks like shit if corrected.

I love goooooooooold Mr. Powers

It'd be funny if you (as in, Americans) hadn't elected the guy twice.

Now it's just apropos and depressing and I don't want to see it.

The interior will change but on the right side you’re always gonna get a smelly, senile dude talking shit, live with it

I mean, it's not far off that, why add to it.

I don't know, it kinda looks more soviet now, doesn't it?

Looking like the Moscow metro?

Mildlyinfuriating

Disgusting..

vulgar af. cunts voted for this bullshit.

Complete disregard to fire safety.

Lmao looks like absolute shit. What a waste of money...

Ewwww

Damn.

A king's gotta king.

Didn't realize we had a new Prime Minister

Did they even make the chairs an ugly yellow? It's so ugly on top of everything else. Probably fake gold and someone is pocketing the difference. Trump wouldn't know the difference.

Donald Trump is a gross human being. I feel he would be best positioned as vomit when looking up the definition on Wikipedia.

Probably Melanias design sense. There are houses in the Balkans decked out like that.

Let them eat cake.

What a loser

I cant wait in fifty years all the MAGA dipshits are dead from preventable diseases and advanced medicine that they can't use from defunded research grants, so that society can collectively tear down and completely destroy this entire family's fecal legacy they have shit into our society.

I hope we gather up the entire Trump genetic line and do exactly what the Russians did to the entire family of the Czars, so that the earth can never allow Trumps or Trump-adjacent lineage to ever return.

Do you think there will be a USA in 2075 ?
- There won't be a me in 2075, unless I make it to 104. :) But I can fight well enough at the moment.
Some of us are quite well armed and practice regularly. :)
- Some is nowhere near enough. ALL of MAGA own guns, like a ratio of 10-1. Every single Republican I have met owns a gun, less than half of all the Democrat voters I know think all guns are unimportant or should be banned.
  Pandora's Box is opened when it comes to guns, just like nuclear weapons: you either join the nations that own them, or become Ukraine and are too late to have agency and have to hope unreliable neighbors will help you fight powerful bullies.
  What a dumb as fuck hope to to cling to. Buy a gun yesterday. Stop voting to take your own rights away, because MAGA doesn't care if you banned all guns in California - they can have thousands of rounds of ammunition delivered to their front door overnight if they wanted, and in fact are strengthening their armories and resolved to end LGBTQ culture mandated by their fascist religion and leaders.
This will never happen because you pacifist dipshits couldn't allow the radical-flank to build up and arm up to kill off all the white-power/xenophobic religious fascists; so they are now allowed unchecked to return in almost every western country across the globe by being unrestrained and not actively hunted and killed like insect vermin that they are.
Now they're here to strip away the rights and freedoms of trans people, women's reproductive rights, online freedoms, and soon coming for LGBT people or more
All because you idiots are afraid of guns, deterrence and aggressive rhetoric to properly counter their own rhetoric.
- Watch this prediction! In a couple of years the GOP will start advocating for more and more restrictive gun rights. They'll roll slowly, but they'll frame it as keeping guns away from "radicals".
  Open carry is already dead in the water in Florida, a mostly red state that could pass the bill in a second flat. Ask yourself why. I'll give you three guesses, but you already know the answer.

Mild indeed

Great value macys.

Looks like someone's got a gilt complex.

So fucking tacky.

Gaudy. What did you expect from conman on chief?

Are those trophies gifts from his good friend Epstein?

Participation trophies for child rape......

!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Bullshit. Those fascists will kill anyone opposed to them. There are tons of white LGBTQ people, too, and people with disabilities that would be murdered as well. And then there is the simple White anti-fascist folk who simply fucking hate the regime and need to regroup elsewhere.
If you have nothing to fear from racism, then being a refugee means that you are clearly NOT a fascist.
I kind of understand where you're coming from, but you are delusional if you think Canadians and Europeans don't already have extreme right groups growing within their borders. We don't need to allow Americans in to have their propaganda spread through different countries. It does via cultural hegemony.
At one point my very Québecois friend was listening to Joe Rogan podcasts and parroting his anti woke crap. When I go see my family in the countryside, I often feel like I'm talking to deep south rednecks. They say they hate Trump but they hate the person, not the politics, because it's the same anti immigration and anti woke rhetoric.
And I'm not an expert about Europe as a whole but I know a bit about Germany and AFAIK, the AfD is making gains there. Is it because of americans and/or latinos going there?

Not representing the US anymore, not even 1%.
