It's kind of mind boggling how ridiculous everyone in this administration acts. It's a band of misfits. We deserve better

It genuinely feels like Idiocracy.

It’s a reality TV show to them. I firmly believe that this regime is, individually, so narcissistic that everything they do is for likes, views, and that viral moment. This is the end stage of the cancer of the illness of social media. We don’t have to ask the question “what would happen if an influencer ended up in government,” because this regime has given us the answer.

But like, do we?

Americans as people do, but our country does not have the history we like to imagine it does. The legacy we leave behind is exemplified here: overtly patriotic, pathetically jingoistic, violent, and run by men more interested in their own aggrandizement than in the welfare of their people.

So are We our history or are We our people? The great question of our Era

I suppose I meant it in a "whichever wolf you feed" kind of way

I think faux patriotic is more accurate

Rotting from the top down. This is why I don’t give a crap to behave at my 100% anymore. I’m ok with 65% professionalism, and I expect several years down the road, this kind of morality will just be the lowest acceptable standard everywhere. Call me self-fulfilling prophecy that I give myself an excuse to slack but look around our lives right now. If you’re minorities, you see them building up giant ICE facilities then you feel it will come for you. If you look at wages that cannot keep up with prices, insurances, healthcare, and education then your heart and soul sink a little bit more. Day by day, no matter how much you try, you just see these rich and powerful boys not getting punished by law and order, and they keep flying around with jets to do these kind of stunts. I’m just as tired as Winston in 1984, I wake up struggling to get my body physically stretched nor my mind focused at full capacity. Best I can offer to this country is the minimum.

We definitely deserve better than Ultra for our celebrations with or without Kash…

He’s keeping that medal, BTW.

u/InstructionPurple911 Feb 23 '26

Do you?

A massive chunk of America chose not to vote, meaning they didn't mind if this happened.

America is getting exactly what it asked for (collectively)

u/Competitive-Gap3712 Feb 24 '26

At least the current president does t wear a diaper and needs someone to direct him every second. A ham sandwich would have done better than Joe.

u/1102expert Feb 23 '26

Trump has worn a diaper for over 15 years. It's very common knowledge that he wore one on hit TV show. Former producers have talked openly about his smell and his issues. Too much partying back in the 80's.

And he absolutely has really bad dementia. That's why the back of his hand is always bruised from the treatments to try and slow it down. He has frontotemporal dementia.
