Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Most people : don’t do it

Government leaders: don’t do it

Business: don’t do it

Academics: don’t do it

All other countries and states in the world: don’t do it

Trump: I’m gonna do it.

And the other 25% are straight up Nazis.

Can the Lt ever find Greenland on a ma? Are people still falling for Lief Ericsson’s lies?

[–] YaGirlAutumn@leminal.space 26 points 9 hours ago

that number should be 100%

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 hours ago

So. No one will talk about the 48% of Americans that are okay with abducting the President in charge of a sovereign country so rich Americans could snatch them away their oil?

Yes, foreigners, if you go to the USA, apparently that's a hot topic.

If only ONE of those 75% was Trump.

Too bad most of them elected a dictator.

Not really a facts based dig, it's not as if America has highly democratic elections or a system that actually wants people to vote

[–] Netrunner@programming.dev 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They should do a poll how many wanna never see Trump's ugly face again?

I wouldn't mind seeing it again but it depends on the circumstance. And the amount of circumstances depends on the "creativity" of others.

I don’t even need violence done to him.

Take away all his money and power and make him walk around the country selling rotten eggs or tomatoes you get to throw at him. And that’s how he has to pay for his life from now on.

Will they oppose it though? Or just sit on their arses and do nothing?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 5 points 11 hours ago

No, they want to be thanked for their service and be good bootlickers

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

As we've been seeing, mostly the latter.
He's already ripped apart the 1^st^, 2^nd^ and 4^th^ amendments at least and no one seems to care, not even the military, who are supposed to defend it.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Few elected officials seem to care, but plenty of ordinary people are waking up to the fact that political power is not something you can give away in a vote, it’s something you have to take.
