    Sounds like a big indicator that he probably shouldn’t have monuments

        He’s not. He’s doing it because he thinks nobody will literally build monuments to him. Not because they think he’s an asshole, but because he thinks no one BUT HIM will be able to do it.

        He’s a narcissist through and through. Taking things into his own hands because it’s the only way he’ll maintain power and control.

      I don’t know, but my 2 yaers old does this too: “you NEVER let me have chocolate!”

      So in my head I see Trump also saying “NOBODY will ever build me a monument” while pouting, crossing his arms and wiggling his shoulders back and forth for emphasis.

      My partner is a clinical psychologist. She says this is one of those lines that gives away a patient’s narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis. Because a narcissist never feels about themselves how they need others to feel about them.

    Not only nobody will build monuments for him, I genuinely hope the Dems have the balls to tear down every stupid little shit he did. And seizing Trump tower and turning it into rent controlled housing would be the cherry on top. Also, turn Mar-a-Lago into a public park and name it Biden Park

        That’s genuinely way better.

        Frankly, Biden should not be memorialized either. He and the idiot fucking brain trust that is the DNC/DCCC were the ones who gave away the Republic to these kleptocratic fascists. My fury at him and Harris and the rest of the party establishment that enabled the second orange regime to win a second stint is, shall we say, not small. They did like, what, 20-30% of things reasonably well, and then just didn’t fucking pay attention to anyone but their fucking consultants for everything else, and that entire class of MBA fuckwits is famously sycophantic and Duning-Kruger-esque.

    A generation after the Civil War, the Daughters of the Confederacy blanketed the country, and especially the South, with monuments to the traitors who fought and died for slavery.

    Yes, I expect we’ll find both the money and the will to build monuments to this abrasive corrupt man, this shrill soulless void of ego and need, this vile abuser of women and children, this screeching embodiment of our worst qualities.

            Tango was saying that it’s sad that people probably will, in fact, build monuments to trump after he’s gone. You said that makes you happy rather than sad. ddplf was asking if you meant what that sounded like, i.e., that you were happy some people would still be sincerely celebrating trump after his death.

    “The one thing they can’t tear down will be the East Wing. That is his lasting impact. That’s why he cares so deeply: legacy sh*t,” the source said.

        I don’t want president Newsom. I want food and healthcare for all. I want taxes for billionaires. I want sustainable energy, not more fucking oil.

        Newsom is a corporate shill. He will make things worse for the people of the United States just like he makes things worse for the people of California.

              They’re going to guarantee Gavin just like they always do: run a bunch of other candidates who are going to pretend to want the job, only to throw it and all endorse the Next One Up at the last possible moment before Super Tuesday. (I call that “pulling a Klobuchar”).

              I hope I’m wrong. But I’ve seen a few of these now. That’s how I think it will all go down.

                Honestly, you may be right. But treating it like a certainty only makes it easier for them. We should be highlighting better alternatives.

                Harris, Newsom, Shapiro are out for me, they’re pro-Israel. Ossof has accepted contributions from Israel. Pritzker was an AIPAC board member.

                It is very difficult to find candidates without ties to Israel: https://www.trackaipac.com/2028

                AOC would be my pick if she runs. Khanna would be my second choice.

                  Go ahead and make your list by whatever metric you want. Use the Primary as your platform. But don’t be one of those people who disengages if someone who doesn’t meet your standards gets nominated.

                  If those other folks are too pro-Israel for you in the Primary, that’s fine. But if it goes to the General, and it’s Newsom or Shapiro or Ossoff vs. Some MAGA loser, don’t use it as an excuse to sit out. Because if a bunch of people who found excuses to not vote for Harris has shown up instead in the right zip codes, and Harris was President right now, everyone would be much better off, including the folks in Gaza.

                  Sometimes, there are just no good choices, but not choosing is worse.

        Part of me genuinely thinks it’s some kind of phallic metaphor.
