When did we say he wasn’t? Just because his camp isn’t speaking the obvious doesn’t mean it isn’t abundantly true. I’ll never understand how human shit piles seem to live forever, while death creeps up on the few remaining decent people in the world. Guy I work with who would literally go out of his way to help ANYONE with ANYTHING. Even helped me swap my car’s alternator in the work parking lot one afternoon (we work in IT). Lived with cancer for 9 years, died last month at 59. Meanwhile, the Pedo Party 70+ crowd dismantles the world, laughing all the way to the bank, raping kids.

Because the US/west gets to decide who the terrorist is? I mean the US can invade a country to protect against communism, but Palestinians protecting themselves* (yes, I agree the asterisk is doing some heavy lifting) are terrorists. So on and so forth.

As someone from East, being politically active and living as an expat in a western country, I learnt this fact/double standards the hard way?

You’ll never guess who’s been put in charge in deciding who gets called a terrorist.

He is a global terrorist, the worst we currently have, but since he’s the head of the nation that still thinks there a super power, all we can do is wait for that entire fucking nation to finally crumble or that Cheeto to have an aneurysm, after which that ex-empire will sink like a cake that imploded in the oven

He is, but everybody’s too scared to start shit because he has no concept of de-escalation, only escalation.

But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat

Not to defend Trump but that’s not true. US has been starting illegal wars of aggression for it’s entire existence.

The Iraq war was “justified” largely for the same reason the Iran war is being.

Because the only difference between a terrorist group and an army is the size of their budget.

Things like that don’t matter much when you’re a dictator.

People do call him out on reddit, lemmy, and other social media. As for bigger names, it’s not just a matter of what’s true, but what the practical consequences would be.

Because Trump is so petty and vindictive, people tend to not want to say things that will tick him off. Foreign leaders might be of the mindset of “weathering the storm” in the hopes he’s replaced by someone better, while domestic media outlets risk being cut out of press briefings if they say anything critical of him.

As for the Democrats, they have all kinds of screwed up priorities. They’re constantly trying to appeal to the “center” and be accommodating to a fault. The right has criticized them for “promoting violence” when they do call someone a fascist or similar. They’re all about bipartisanship and you can’t really do that while calling the other side terrorists, regardless of the actual truth.

Donestic Terrorist.

Unclear if typo, or the new correct spelling for that term.

SCOTUS got hijacked

Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist.

We actually do all the time. He’s the president of the most powerful and wealthy nation on earth. Most presidents cannot contradict him even though they all think he is an idiot.

He is, but the 1% like him because he helps them make money. My question is, how do we push this message to people on Facebook without giving Zuck more money?

the one controlling trump is a greater threat but he funds enough propaganda and right wing governments to insulate himself. trump is a mere tool, and by chance the manosphere plays into this as well, you need sexually frustrated right wing men otherwise your power collapses without them.

I mean, people do, although terrorist isn’t a super accurate label for him. Terrorist implies using violence to create terror for a political gain. Trump generally is more acting out of sheer stupidity and malice rather than for any deeper political agenda. Terms like violent madman, fascist, war criminal, murderer or wannabe dictator are more accurate.
