I like your post. 50 years from now, high school students are going to open their US History book and read what the orange bumble fuck said during a war he started. Humiliating and perhaps the Americans might learn a lesson from the MAGA disaster.

USians need to be humbled, I say as I live here.
So, hey, Americans, your president is openly threatening genocide. You might uh, want to do something about that. Just a thought.
The US has been openly genociding trans people within its borders and no one cares. People turned out for Palestine and Venezuela to the extent that the state allowed them to, but have been seemingly silent on Cuba. Genocide is as American as the Kardashians.
To be clear, I’m not talking about politically savvy users on Lemmy. You’re not the problem. The problem is the “white moderate” that MLK talked about in his letter. The problem is the apoliticals who complain about having to take the scenic route to Starbucks because of protesters on the streets. It’s the so-called “adults” who treat politics like an optional sport. It’s the people who have never heard of AIPAC, and who act surprised to learn that the US is at war. Those people need a good wake up slap.
The cultists are too far gone, the only hope for them to rejoin civilized society is literal cult deprogramming
Look, I agree with every one of your other points, but to say that “the US has been openly genociding trans people” is ludicrously stupid. Yes, some of the states are making anti-bathroom laws, and some of the states are making laws about not allowing medical/therapeutic support to minors for transitioning, and the federal government is making anti-trans executive orders about colleges… but genocide? Seriously?
Don’t water down the use of the word genocide. It’s a very serious thing that is currently happening and supported by the US, but that is not what is happening with trans people. Yet. It might happen with the way things are going, but not yet.
Most people on here gave Jewish pundits shit for calling 700 Jewish deaths in the October attack another “holocaust” and “genocide.” We give those same people shit for not calling 70,000 Palestinian deaths a genocide. Don’t be like those people.
Trans people being effectively legislated out of existence and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued three red flag alerts, but go on about how it’s not a genocide
the Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally
I urge anyone skimming by to the article I linked, if you have 5 minutes. It’s actually a pretty good read. I’ll also note that this is why I fled the US when I had the chance
I would take them seriously but their mobile site is a shit spam of donation ads and unuseable.
Seems like a shit company that’s just trying to profit off good messaging from where I’m sitting.
Pretty great example of good message ruined by greed.
There’s literally one window with a large X in the top right. NPR and Wikipedia do the same thing. But here, I copied the first three paragraphs for you so you don’t have an excuse.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is releasing this third Red Flag Alert for the USA related to the Trump Administration’s anti-trans initiatives, which have continued to expand nationwide since our last Red Flag Alert (RFA) on this subject. Over the eight months since the second RFA’s publication, the Republican Party’s anti-trans agenda has radicalized and continued to intensify. 2025 was the sixth consecutive record-breaking year for the number of anti-trans bills considered across the country. There was a 45 percent increase in bills between 2024 and 2025. Between 2021 and 2025, the number of bills in consideration has increased by 668 percent.
The Administration has moved from identifying transgender people as a threat to the family and to the nation’s military prowess to claiming that transgender people constitute a cosmic threat to the spiritual health of the nation and the greatest direct threat to U.S. national security in the world. Given these ideological developments, especially coupled with the increasingly hostile and draconian legislation against trans identities, the Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally.
Genocide against trans people takes on patterns that set it apart from the mass murder genocides that people commonly associate with the crime, such as the Holocaust. Currently, the genocide against trans people follows a pattern – denial of identity (pattern #9 in the Lemkin Institute’s Ten Patterns of Genocide) – that makes it more familiar to the colonial genocides against indigenous populations, including the residential/boarding school systems in North America and Australia, where indigenous children were “allowed” to go on living if they gave up their identities, including their languages. Denial of identity involves two main steps: preventing people from openly expressing an identity and destroying institutions that reproduce the identity. Given that the denial of identity is the consequence of a well-defined hostility, even hatred, for the identity, the pattern is often characterized by incitement against the group. Alongside suppression and incitement, perpetrators of this pattern of genocide will simultaneously criminalize the identity, so that expressions of it or institutions that reproduce it become characterized as threatening and corrosive to the body politic and warranting state violence and coercion. People who assert or support the denied identity then become criminal elements that must be eliminated. In the case of the boarding schools, children who used their mother tongue or otherwise showed signs of their independent identity were severely punished.
to say that “the US has been openly genociding trans people” is ludicrously stupid.
no, talking out of your ass about shit you don’t actually know anything about is the ludicrously stupid thing. stay in your lane
or, to put it another way, what are we supposed to do when we can’t go out in public because we don’t wanna get arrested for using the bathroom? what are we supposed to do when we are stripped of necessary healthcare that we NEED to survive? when our passports and driver’s licenses are revoked? when bit-by-bit we are erased from being able to exist in public life entirely?
they WANT us to die
Open to suggestions.
I don’t think any of y’all know how well protected this asshole is
It’s mind boggling to me there have been no riots by this point.
If that’s mind boggling then you really need to read an actual history book.
Life for the avg America is FAR from problematic enough to have riots start yet. Even our worse off tend to have just enough care from other Americans to be upset but content. We are taking care of our down trodden just enough.
You need starvation, active destress, or wide spread unemployment.
We have food it’s just expensive.
We arnt in active physical danger.
We have just enough jobs that groups of people arnt massing together.
End of the day the very same message of help your fellow man, do good in your community and decades of social safety nets put into place. Are doing their job of allowing the American people to coast by happy enough.
If you want riots then you need to start making people physically miserable, scared and hungry.
We arnt in active physical danger.
You arent in percieved active physical danger.
If trump launches a nuke boy that sure will change lickity split tho
Seriously, there seems to be this delusion that we all just have magic buttons that execute our politicians on a whim. What the fuck do you expect us to do, specifically, to fix this?
In pretty much every other western country, the populace could reasonably exert force over their national armed forces because those armed forces are reasonably sized. But the entire active duty military of Germany has fewer personnel than the on-base population of a single US military base (JBLM 210k, Germany 185k), and JBLM is only the 4th largest base in the US…
You say as if American soldiers aren’t also Americans. It’s not just up to civilians to partake in politics and the resistance of tyranny.
Coups happen all over the world, for various reasons. You’d think an openly genocidal regime headed by a fascist, paedophile, moronic traitor, actively making life worse for the majority and aiding their enemies. Shitting on the constitution, and making veiled threats to cancel elections, would be enough to instigate one, but I guess not.
The stereotype of American soldiers seems to hold up, all bark but no bite unless the opponent is clearly outmatched with bigger weapons.
By one estimate, there were 457 coup attempts from 1950 to 2010, half of which were successful.[3]
I’ll accept my share of the blame for not being an active insurgent against the US government as long as we’re also holding Russian and Chinese people to the same standard - failing to thwart genocide(s) by a powerful authoritarian regime while under 21st century surveillance and brutal working conditions. Sure I’m disappointed in all of us who aren’t part of a resistance, but let’s be realistic.
No, no, no…you’ve got it wrong. America is a perfectly representative democracy, so every American bears full responsibility for each and every transgression of it’s government or military. China and Russia are not, so only their governments and military are to blame, their citizens are blameless. Now, a more interesting question is how culpable are the rank and file citizens of Canada, Czechia, Albania, North Macedonia, Lithuania, and Latvia, whose governments support the USrael invasion? No doubt, the keyboard warriors will be along at any moment to shame them and demand they rise up against and replace their complicit governments.
Alright, let’s be realistic, a lot of competent high ranking officers are out of work since the purges of Trump. And a lot are still in work, that managed to survive the purges.
And when I say purges, I mean redundancies and firings. Not like Saddam Hussein, taken out back and met with a bullet or rope. But just given their military pension and told to fuck off.
I’m not expecting the average grunt to be able to do much. But an officer whose rank allows them the command of hundreds or thousands of people is capable of something.
There has been not even a murmuring of mutiny, resistance, or rebellion, let alone a coup. Some sailors stuffed t-shirts down their toilets, likely more in rebellion at being at sea far longer than they were meant to than anything else. But that’s about it.
Americans, until very very recently, have had freedoms and liberties that the Chinese and Russians have never enjoyed. Do you think Russian military courts are comparable to American? To compare them is disingenuous. Although in saying that, Xu Qinxian did refuse his orders at Tiannamen Square. He refused saying he’d rather be executed than be a criminal to history.
But there’s always an exceptionalism, an excuse, for why America is incapable of thwarting fascism. No matter how much I argue here, somebody will come along with another excuse, another reason for why Americans can’t do what other countries around the world have done over and over throughout history.
Land of the
BraveBollocks.I’m going to be honest: you just sound ignorant and disconnected from the reality of the United States as a politically entity.
Exception and exceptional share a root word. They do not mean the same thing.
You say that but months ago when he was threatening to invade Canada, as a Canadian I thought “if I sneak up and kill just one of these invading fuckers before I gwt popped I will have done my duty” im just a regular guy but I feel that in my gut and I know A LOT of us do.
But you guys don’t have that sense of survival for some reason. You just shrug and go “I don’t wanna get a boo boo or miss project runway” you’re being invaded right now, your citizens are being murdered by federal invading forces and you are doing nothing but fighting among yourselves about who is the true leftist.
Sorry, where are you getting your news from?
Based on this topic, I’m quite certain that he primarily receives his news from his butthole.
Go find the richest person in your local city.
You have one, they exist. Probably several in the same area.
Make it their problem.
Who would’ve thought the art of the deal is just black mailing?

Iran has been calling his bluff at every point. Not surprising.
Hilarious to see. Would be great if it didn’t ruin everything while being hilarious though.
Republicans had a choice. They chose to make things worse. They can’t complain about laughing out of frustration or dark humor. Not after decades of sabotaging America so they could finally control USA.
Republicans had a whole bunch of choices. They still have a lot of choices. They keep choosing to do the stupid and/or evil choice. I’ll be laughing at them and what happens to Americans for years or decades.
I’m more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.
I’m more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.
This is the worst part of it. I didn’t vote for that moronic child fucker. I can’t even vote in that shithole because I don’t live there. Yet, I’m getting fucked, and roughly, because of them.
But hey, ‘don’t go “all americans” because some of them didn’t vote for him’. Well fuck you! You didn’t vote for him, but what about us? Getting screwed by someone who’s not even in our continent just because he fucked kids and don’t want to go to jail for it?
Yeah I’m getting a bit tired of the “I didn’t vote for him” thing from Americans. I understand that they didn’t but from the outside, I can’t really start singling out people, so as a result I blame America as a whole. They should have fixed their system decades ago, but they didn’t care enough.
I sympathize for all the anti-trump Americans… but they are doing as much as the Republicans are doing, to remove him. Which is fuck all. Going on a parade on a Saturday once in two months doesn’t count as doing something, no matter how “historically large” it was.
Why don’t you be a little more honest here? You can’t write “I’ll be laughing at what happens to Americans for a long time” and then also say you feel for us. You’re victim blaming. We are entirely fucked and there are no good options. And honestly, no matter where you live you’re going to have negative consequences from this too, no matter what. Even if it just slightly nudges your country to the right, or some other neighboring country, it will impact you.
So I’m glad you’re laughing that so many millions of people are suffering. Thanks for that. It’s so helpful to not only my mental health to read shit like this, it totally inspires me to just go out and fix it all. No problem. Be done by mid day tomorrow!
If the victim does nothing when it’s in their power to do something then the victim is infact at fault.
The American people arnt powerless. We have proven that by killing off presidents before.
We have proven that though rallies that moved the entire country to actual action before.
We have proven that by coming together and going to war with ourselves before.
The fact nothing is happening this time in fact. Makes us all at fault me included. The only correct view for an outsider is to victim blame.
Because WE ARE at fault.
At this point unless he actually mans up and follows though with his words, just ignoring him entirely from day 1 is the only correct action.
The fact Iran even entertained him this long is the only reason he has power at all. Countries need to start just ignoring him entirely.
They should demand to only speak with democrats and or go the other way and say they’ll only speak to president Stephen Miller
