As it has been nearly a year since I last posted this here, and we have a lot of updates, I’ve decided to post this list again for those who are having a difficult time keeping track. Especially since the US has now started a war without even an AUMF before the editors have even had time to put up December’s update, I think it prudent to keep this at the forefront of our minds.
Edit: note that this is only for his second term. There is a link to the ORIGINAL “Lest We Forget The Horrors” at the top of the unending catalogue here, and that includes trump’s first term. I personally recommend downloading both as PDFs, since then they still exist if some fascist decides that this satire website is too zealously exercising first amendment rights and needs to be shut down.
It was worth it to prove a point that Harris had to pass a purity test, but failed when she didn’t say something strong enough about Palestine. So worth it.
Yep. We didn’t get a perfect magic pony, so a lot of America just stamped their feet and threw a temper tantrum, because they had “send a message to the neoliberals and the shitlibs” or whatever the fuck and now we have Donvict invading Venezuela.
Nothing like getting government decided by a bunch of adult brats with oppositional defiant disorder.
Not american but if ‘lets not aid genocide’ is a magic pony level ask then you guys are already fucked beyond help.
Genocide is now too far of a bar to clear for these people. If you’re anti-genocide you’re just an idealist.
Good to know that these people would be touting how moral they are in 1945 during the Holocaust.
So I was talking to my psychiatrist and I mentioned that I thought a third of adults display traits of oppositional defiance. She told me that it was only diagnosed in children. That’s pretty silly in my opinion.
Honestly, I think a lot of the field could use a reappraisal or more policing. Mind you, I’m a layperson, but it seems to me - from entire anecdotal evidence - that some people are not necessarily getting the help they need and seem to be entirely broken adults. They seem to instead seek out - and get - a permission structure to be their worst selves. In particular, people that are almost textbook cases of narcissists.
By this I mean that adults seem to shop around until they find someone that will do this for them. Not that the whole field is like that…but I don’t know that there is any mechanism in the field to counter this.
Anyway, I find it wild that it would be the case that adults are ruled out from having ODD? Does every child with ODD grow out of it, or do they get lumped in with some other set of behaviors?
Again, I’m a layperson, and of course labeling everyone that has a severe case of being an annoying contrarian on virtually every topic as having ODD is probably not accurate.
However: I think the people that think it’s a serious adult take to want the entire system burned to the ground and that all of America “deserves” awful outcomes if their single issue is not treated in the exact way they want or if they don’t get a perfect little pony for a candidate most likely have deeper issues. In no way should that take be considered the response of a healthy and well-adjusted adult.
I mean, the lesson is probably that it’s a good idea to have a primary instead of just letting a senile old man pick his successor.
Yeah. Biden fucked up by running again.
Voters sealed the deal though.
pretty funny the bootlickers are downvoting this, they don’t want real elections i guess
The DNC has told them they don’t like primaries because the poors get a say in it. They’ll say show up in the primaries while they ignore results and tilt the scales.
No no, they’re perfect and anyone who says otherwise who wants them to win is actually a trump supporter. They don’t like to win elections by having popular policies or candiates, you just vote for them without a second thought or an opinion.
This is such a lame attempt at a straw man. Fuck off, nobody thinks she was perfect.
Yep, every time someone said she was going to lose for failing to be popular in a national popularity totally wasn’t mocked or banned on several .world communities. You got it.
It takes 6 months to run a primary, they had 107 days.
Now, we could argue Biden should have bowed out sooner, which he absolutely should have, but it wasn’t obvious to everyone until that shit show of a debate.
Even then, the debate was June 27, 2024 and he didn’t quit the race until July 21, 25 days later.
It was obvious to Biden himself during his first run. One of the promises he made in 2020 was that he wouldn’t run for a second term. He should have held to his word, and had a primary.
If Trump hadn’t run, Biden wouldn’t have either. He said multiple times he was the only one who could beat Trump, in fact, he was saying that as recently as after the election.

They had four years to figure out what to do with Biden.
No no, planning ahead is bad. Especially when you promise to be a one term president and then turn your back on it. Like with codifying Roe v Wade. Or student loans. Or monthly payments to help with COVID. Or…
worth having trump instead? or did you forget /s?
The /s is definitely implied.
Poe’s law always applies in the modern internet. Everyone close your sarcasm tags!
<s>Trump is such a stable genius</s>
Aren’t you forgetting about Cole’s Law though?
It wasn’t 100% clear.
I’m the op, sarcasm was definitely intended. Thanks for the reminder that it’s not always so obvious on the internet
/s
i mean, the fascists won, and there are people in this very thread still going on about “becuz they didn’t have a primary” and the same old shit. pretty much your comment, except with no /s
