    Yeah, probably not. He was explicitly “anti-government”. It’s more likely Trump would have labeled him a far-left antifa terrorist, and used him as an excuse to enact martial law.

        You haven’t read NSPM-7?

        He’s basically labeled everything that’s “anti-government”, “anti-fascist”, or even just “anti-capitalist” as a precursor to terrorism.

        I’m pretty sure he’s just a sick fuck who’s only option for not going to prison for the rest of his life was lying & cheating his way into the presidency.

        Trump loves government, as long as it’s his government.

        He’s anti the government doing things to help regular people. Health care etc… He’s pro military marching in the streets arresting anyone that hurts his feelings. Looking at McVeigh’s background, the KKK membership would have earned him some grace. but his big thing was thinking the police overstepped, which makes me think even as a racist… McVeigh were around today he’d describe ice raids as further tyrany.

        I don’t think anyone can pin a political position on trump. He seems to change mid-sentence if it suits him

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
