Trump wishes electric car supporters 'rot in hell' in Truth Social Christmas message - Lemmy.World

In a Christmas message to his followers Monday, former President Donald Trump said he hopes supporters of “Electric Car Lunacy” would “ROT IN HELL.” Trump’s Monday afternoon Truth Social post continued a theme he had been developing with several other posts since Christmas Eve, attacking Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two criminal cases against him. The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party nomination added a missive against “THUGS,” which he said were more “evil” and “sick” than all world leaders. In the grammatically confusing post, Trump also appeared to attack Israel, which Trump lumped in with Iran, as well as both Russia and Ukraine.

Without context this is my favorite kind of comment, because I immediately thought of an anthropomorphic asshole sitting down to a nice dinner of steaming hot shit and it was hilarious.

But then I remembered Trump has a realistic shot at winning this election and I just got really sad.

Show threadFlying SquidDec 26, 2023

That’s why Trump doesn’t have Jesus’ way with words.

Trump:

Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and ‘sick’ as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Jesus:

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

See? They both say “everyone who doesn’t believe what I believe rots in Hell.” Jesus just put it better.

I’m sure if you wait 2000 more years, Trump will sound sane and coherent as well.
Show threadFlying SquidDec 26, 2023
You don’t even have to wait that long. The gospels were written decades after Jesus was supposedly executed. That means they were a totally inaccurate record of anything he ever did or said, and were almost certainly cleaned up to make him look better. So for all we know, he was as incoherent as Trump and Paul made a lot of edits.
Show threadcmbabulDec 26, 2023
I mean Paul definitely made some edits to the overall thesis, dude fucking sucked
Show threadihavenopeopleskillsDec 26, 2023
OK...but there were many witnesses and writings of him spread all over the region. That's a lot of written accounts in many unknown places to edit.

That’s nonsense. The first writings about Jesus that weren’t in the Bible were Tacitus and Josephus almost a century later.
Show threadripcordDec 26, 2023
Why...?
Show threadkromemDec 26, 2023

According to the church.

For example, in one of the works dismissed as heretical and eventually buried in a jar because even possessing it became a death sentence, the message is very different from the “give everything you have to God and church and await the end of the world” that was being thrown around by the early church:

Jesus said, “The messengers and the prophets will come to you and give you what belongs to you. You, in turn, give them what you have, and say to yourselves, ‘When will they come and take what belongs to them?’”

There were groups that were universalist (i.e. everyone gets salvation as a participation prize), but there’s not much money in that - why would you give the church what you have if what they are offering you is already rightfully yours?

Elsewhere this text has a parable that seems to liken the concept of salvation to a treasure buried in a field that we inherit, but don’t realize it’s there, so the field gets sold off to someone else who discovers the treasure and starts lending it out at interest (which is a bitingly apt commentary on the notion of tithing).

Miraculously this version of Jesus’s theology ends up not being endorsed by the people who built St Peter’s, despite the attitude being more in line with the earliest redactional layers of the canonical gospels too.

Versus

Biden, who is running with little competition for the Democratic party presidential nomination in 2024, struck a different tone with his Christmas message. He posted a video of the White House’s holiday decorations overlaid with an audio track of him and First Lady Jill Biden reading the poem “The Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clark Moore.

Sigh.

We are so fucked.

For me, a queer atheist with a brown Jewish partner, there’s no question about me voting for Biden. It doesn’t matter mathematically because I live in a dark blue district in a dark blue state, but I’m going to cast that vote. I also recognize that the choice is between an elderly conservative with outdated ideas and the possible end of American democracy.

The reason why I think we are well and truly fucked is that our standard bearer is among the most milquetoast presidential office holders since Bush I. Neither the democrats nor the press has any idea how to deal with the existential crisis we are facing. Trump had his followers chanting “lock her up” against his political opponent. Biden is keeping the dignity of the office of the president.

I don’t know if there’s a better tactic, but people making millions of dollars as political consultants have had since 2015 to come up with a counter strategy, and this is the best they’ve given us. They do not know how to deal with a successful fascist populist.

And before anyone just indicate "Oh but they're in the White House". Let's not forget Melania Trump's perspective on Christmas at the White House in 2020.

Also something Trump pointed out in the speech.

Afghanistan Surrender

Buddy Trump, you ordered the troops out of there. I mean it was "so bold™" that FoxNews was liberally sucking what can only be scientifically classified as Trump's penis. Biden was just following up with the order that you gave. WTF _ LOL?!

That's his secret: he IS anal cancer. Trump is what happens when the cancer takes over the entire body. There's no part of him that isn't anal cancer already. His hair? Obviously anal cancer. That his face looks like a cancerous anus probably goes without saying. It'd be tragic if it weren't so damaging to the rest of us.

    Trump never fails to do something completely inappropriate for holidays. What a miserable person. Also hilarious considering how hard Elron has been trying to suck up to the fascist conservative wing.

    The way he said "Russia/Ukraine" and then "Israel/Iran" makes it seem that he thinks Israel is in a war with Iran, which isn't totally wrong but also not correct at this point, thankfully.
