Liberals would liken him to an “evil Chinese dictator” stereotype like they try to pretend him and Putin are “evil Stalin” stereotypes. Probably see memes of Trump as Mao, and a revival of anti-CPC discourse, but applied to Trump as “ruining America” or “selling us how to foreign powers” or “wanting to be authoritarian”.

In all the ways that matter, nothing significant. He’s a duplicitous bastard who can’t be trusted, so he may talk nice about Xi for a week before going “he’s not giving us Taiwan even though I asked nicely, what a tyrant” and going right back to anti-China warhawking. China certainly isn’t going to do anything for him just because he showed up to a parade. No other country is going to change their views because of it. US rivals know the US is two-faced and vile, and Trump is the personification of it. US allies hate him for saying the quiet part out loud but jump when the US says “frog” anyway.

What is the name of the song?

PSL says “anticommunism is the unofficial religion of America” and it’s true. Both major parties claim the other is communist, because to many Americans, communism is just the equivalent of Satanic.

What annoys me is how blatantly constructed the narrative is to try and convince Americans that Trump is a foreign and unique threat, and only by continuing arming Israel and Ukraine can you truly show your opposition to Trump and other “tyrants”.

I looked into 50501 to try and get a feel for their platform, since these protests were suspiciously well-advertised and didn’t seem to say much beyond “Trump bad”. All I can find are the usual Democrat talking points: vague promises of civil rights and justice, punctuated by an explicit promise to arm Ukraine and Israel and support them no matter what. Well, Ukraine is explicitly mentioned, Israel is implied.

I’ve also noticed the narrative keeps trying to focus on the imagery of a military parade as “authoritarian”, when it’s not inherently so. Media, influencers, and protesters keep comparing Trump to Mao and Stalin, and the whole of the Democrats’ messaging has been giving very big “what are we, a bunch of Asians?” energy.

Protestors, thankfully, aren’t really out there for 50501’s platform; they’re there in solidarity for immigrants and Palestine as well as being anti-Trump.

But yeah, they have been more insufferable than ever lately. Tbh, I’ve talked to Trump supporters whose heads aren’t as far up their asses.

But saying “No Clowns” will alienate our allies like Ukraine 😔

Western history for sure, but I imagine Russia, China, and most of the world will recognize the truth. It just sucks for us stuck living in the empire.

The objective, I believe, is just to make it as grizzly, bloody, and awful as possible, because they have the full backing of Western media. The history books (in the West, anyway) will blame all of it on Russian aggression, and this narrative will be driven into everyone who will listen, in every region they can get their slimy tentacles into.

It’s been their game plan all along, as we all know. From the very beginning they intentionally put artillery next to active schools, hid their soldiers in school buses and ambulances, and did everything in their power to maximize their own civilian death tolls, knowing Western media and audiences would blame Russia for every death that could have been easily avoided. These people are fighting for control of the region to remake it as they see fit, and for all their talk of nationalism and the Ukrainian people, they will gladly sacrifice the entire population if it lets them rule what’s left to be “pure”.

I say “ain’t” :(
