The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”
“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.
You guys are really speedrunning the third reich thing, aren’t you?
Weimar Republic had seven year terms and no limit. These guys were too incompetent and wasted their first term and can’t balance breaking everything vs making too many voters mad before this last midterms. They basically have a month left to do or die before people get elected who will
hold them accountableprevent them from running completely rampant.They’re rushing it cuz they fail to form it properly, I get the feeling the internet has made the old facist takeover playbook obsolete since evidence of crimes is documented and shared more quickly and people act against it faster and in a more organized fassion then these groups can deal with.
The Trump administration is a rabid animal that needs to be put down.
MAGA in general.
The ultra wealthy class will team up with the religious radicals to just replace them. The problem won’t be solved that way.
Yeah, he’s a particularly malignant tumor, but he’s not the underlying cancer.
The country DOES need to remove him in order to survive, but doing so ISN’T enough.
Extends beyond Trump. Republicans in Congress are complicit.
And any aipac funded dems
Yup, look at voting records people, some democrats are a wolf in sheep’s clothing, primary them out.
Both sides.
Criticizing dems that won’t impeach trump or stop his stupid war isn’t “both sides”. Fetterman is worse than useless
You do realize non aipac funded dems exist right?
Or were you just posting a self-portrait?
op is literally the most useless type of person
You realize the both sides thing comes from the idea that one side is actually different? I hate these internet cliches because smugly incorrect people will grandstand with them. Whataboutism too. You know the democratic party also gets aipac money right? Democratic Party politicians and democrat media are equally (if not more due to their neoliberal globalist stance) compromised by Israel. Get a spine, if you can’t even break the party line to whisper a mild critique about the milquetoast “””opposition””” that’s been complicit in a genocide for 3 years I have nothing to say to you. Politics is only a sport for you, then.
For the people who think this means Marxists don’t want you to vote — no, we just want you to have some standards and vote for better people. Don’t give a mandate to politicians who profit from genocide.
Hello 14 day old ml account trying to encourage people not to vote!
I’ll wait until the Xi bucks arrive to give you your affirmations. Until then, keep believing. American empire loves you and will NEVER do wrong to the settlers at home.
“Well meth clearly isn’t working out because my wife left me and I lost my job and my teeth are falling out, but obviously I can’t go back to just alcohol because alcohol is expensive and it makes me sluggish at work. I don’t know which is worse!” - you, probably
Idk, I’m sure there’s a better analogy out there but you get the point.
It’s a 2 week old ml account, it’s here to discourage people from voting in the midterm. The usual suspects have been out in force all summer but they’re ramping up hard.
Ah good catch
Comparing meth and alcohol? Smartest if you don’t do either. Good job reinforcing his point.
You an alcoholic? Can’t stop chugging on the Clinton’s?
You think spending a little more money and being sluggish at work is just as bad as your wife leaving you, losing your job, and your teeth falling out? Good job reinforcing my point.
Every republican and conservative in the USA is an explicit existential threat to humanity and need to be eliminated with extreme prejudice. We need incredibly violent public executions to scare these fascist fucks into never expressing a point of view ever again, and that’s only because the logistics of killing them all are unrealistic.
…just the ones in Congress?

Biggest self-own ever.
What kinda of “final battle?” Like a battle with high cholesterol or a Mitch McConnell level of a stroke?…
The white supremacists believe in the coming race war, this is what the “boogaloo” community is about.
It’s actually pretty scary because they have been chomping at the bit to get started and they are the only side ready to go at a moments notice and they are EXCITED TO DO SO
They’re gonna have fun with the end of days fundies
Same bullshit that triggered the Jan. 6th insurrection. He’s going to deny he lost the house.
They are detaining Canadians at the border accusing them of voting in US elections.
This is undoubtedly a crime and every minion involved needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned for it once crimes are illegal again.
“We will cast out the […] fascists”
Is this the resignation statement?
preparing champagne
It’s just more abuse of words to rob them of their meaning, plus muddying the political waters for the stupid, who tend to support them while thinking “communist” and “fascist” are just words for “baddie”.
It’s a bit terrifying how the entire country is just walking forward into this.
Watching from the outside, I’ve never doubted they would. USA has always been so disgustingly patriotic, to the point of ignoring everything bad about the country in order to fuel their imagined self image as “The Greatest Country In The World”. It was always going to be like this, when most of the country is that brainwashed and ignorant.
I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world” that they unreflectively cheered for years … which I think is an example of how brainwashed even the more liberal Americans have been over the last 50 years. Their entire culture has been leading to this point.
They were never the good guys.
One of the first things I learned about climate change in the 90s was the US didn’t ratify Kyoto—and Bush withdrew in 01. Never the good guys. We can go back further (Allende, Nicaragua—not the good guys there either).
But still, even many liberal leaning people, think they are the greatest. And they laughably think this is a blip.
Edit: this post definitely triggered some Americans.
There’s American Exceptionalism sure, but in my experience even an unpatriotic New Yorker thinks NY is the best city in the world.
This is becoming less and less true as time goes on. It reached a high point during the Bush years but if you look at polling of young people, they are much less patriotic than older people. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/america-250-anniversary-poll-b2997555.html
Which makes complete sense, since it’s very obvious that we aren’t the greatest country on earth when a 25 year old with a degree has to struggle just to survive and can’t afford rent and going to the hospital bankrupts them.
If you and to just dismiss this as “getting triggered” then go ahead, but that would make it very obvious that you only know this country from TV and the internet and don’t actually talk to people from here.
I don’t buy that completely. I had a to travel to a very liberal part of the US during trump 1… I would say the liberal patriotism (what some have better called American exceptionalism) was still thriving. While I fully understand people’s belief have gone down hill over the last few years (like your source says), I think it was more sudden than that. Also I’m not sure it won’t bounce back and revert to mean under a different government.
I said people were triggered cause it was on -3 or -5 or when I put my phone down yesterday.
I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world”
The only people you’ll find actually saying that are New Yorkers. And they have said that shit for a LONG ass time. Their arrogant delusions are sort of unmatched when it comes to having the “best”… whatever. Pizza, bagels, art, etc. they’ll claim everything they do is the best in the world regardless of reality.
Hey now, other cities are welcome to flex about their pizza and bagels if they’re actually better than NYC’s (they’re not).
If you know where to go, you can find them just as good or better in Jersey.
Not trying to hate on NYC (though the cost of living there should be a literal crime)
I love NYC but no doubt there are a lot of insufferable people there. It says a lot about how much the city feels entitled to dominating the state’s culture that the word “New Yorker” only means people from the city.
If you’re from anywhere else in the state you have to phrase it in a more awkward way (“I’m from upstate” or “I’m from NY state”).
It’s actually quite old. At least a century or two, if not more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism
US Americans have zero pro-social cultural values. Bunch of anti-social ones though.
It’s not the entire country. Conservatives are dragging the normal people into this. Our nation is absolutely infested with conservatives. This is what happens when we don’t finish a civil war properly. We either finish Sherman’s work or we suffer the consequences of humanizing pure evil.
What does this comment even mean? What’s the alternative?
just ‘a bit’?
I keep telling people but most people on Lemmy are like “you’re a doomer” which says a lot about how this happened.
Most lemmings are full tilt accelerationists actively advocating for things to get worse so they can do a revolution. All the while missing that they don’t need things to get worse to do a revolution. They could just vote in primaries. But they don’t like to hear that either.
Voting is dead. Sorey.
For him, it is the final battle. He is one bad election away from jail and he is on track to lose. Decent Americans (yes, they exist) just need to show up this time.
Unrealistic. He is one ‘bad’ election away from being somewhat inconvenienced by having to just always explicitly ignore congress and do whatever he wants without repercussions. If GOP wins as few as three of the senate races that happen, he’s 100% safe from the only consequence considered valid: removal from office.
No criminal prosecution, that’s already established as ‘not applicable’ by the supreme court, on top of the long standing policy of not holding a president currently in office accountable for anything.
In 2028, ok, maybe he could face consequences in theory if all the mechanisms actually work. Very skeptical, and even if he could, it moves at a snail’s pace and they’ll probably run him again in 2032 because they don’t have any better ideas.
This just happened to Hungary’s Trump, Viktor Orban. Before the election, everyone said an ouster of Orban was unrealistic.
Personally, I think the USA is no longer a democracy and that the game is over. Americans meekly put rings through their noses and tied themselves to a fascist dictatorship. After all that tough-guy cosplay with the guns and ‘don’t tread on me’ and ‘muh freedumb!!’, it turns out Americans are either fascists or little bitches.
However, I would be thrilled to be proven wrong.
I don’t know about Hungary, but it’s hard to imagine GOP turning on Trump when they have basically bet it all on Trump.
The argument against convicting on January 6th was evidently “let the criminal justice system take care of it and avoid putting ourselves at odds with his fanatics”.
I suspect they similarly might be hoping for his health to catch up to him and take care of the problem without pissing off Trump fans.
I suppose they might throw Trump, Hegseth, Miller and Patel under the bus to try to give Vance some run up to 2028 and scapegoat the “bad apples” and pivot to a claimed image of some respectable, responsible party… But it seems a long shot… Vance was still very deep on on this bullshit, but most people probably are oblivious to that…
Yeah with his health, pretty sure he’ll die before facing any consequence. He’s really good at slowing down these things it seems.
And therein lies the problem. The decent Americans are too misinformed by the polls, they’ll complacently stay at home. That, or they’re too lazy and arrogant to vote for anyone but their ideal candidate, they’ll sit it out as a show of virtue posturing.
I want it to happen during primetime television so the program will be interrupted to tell me
Even better, how about when he’s on the stairs leading to Air Force 1? Cameras on him, just topples down the stairs. Leave no daylight to allow for stupid “he didn’t actually die” conspiracies
Even better: on an up-escalator so that he keeps falling. It would be the only monument to Trump I wouldn’t want torn down; just let him tumble until he disintegrates into nothing.
I like the way you think
The unexpected fireworks will also be a good indicator.
I wouldn’t doubt that this would totally happen in the Los Angeles area
The networks playing Swan Lake would be fitting in oh so many ways. Especially for CBS.
I suspect they’re not actually interested in kicking out the fascists.
They have convinced the moronic masses that the communists are equivalent to fascists, and they have convinced the masses that anyone not MAGA is a communist. They even started rounding up brown people, some of whom have died and/or will never see their families again. They’re builting concentration camps. AI datacenters are meant to take control over computing and the communication it enables.
This is our last chance.
Hard to angle your leg in such a way as to kick yourself with enough force…
Homie, you are the fascist
So now it’s ok to be anti-fascist? Um so if I go and say I am anti fascist, nothing will go wrong, right? Right, guys?
How is any of this legal? Why aren’t Americans doing anything about it? WTF happened to you guys?
It’s not. The people with the authority to do anything about it either won’t or can’t. You’re First Amendment rights are worth 2¢ in a trillion dollar economy. While the 2A was supposedly written to be the follow-up, it has basically the same effect.
The Republicans in Congress could stop all of this at any time. They choose not to. They support it, even if they say otherwise.
Trump will be Trump, but we need to direct our anger at the rest of his party as well, for not holding him accountable. I hope enough people realize this in November.
The Supreme Court established that the President cannot be held accountable for any conduct (as part of his Official Duties) by anyone except through impeachment. So the President can break any law, as long as 1/2 the House (or 1/3 of the Senate) agrees to let it slide.
Pedophiles and Nazis captured the spots in government that allow them to do this shit to us
Most of us (by math) hate it
Well, do something about it. Words on a website aren’t stopping anything.
Like what?
Temu Hitler spams the same fascist drivel used by Real Hitler in order to seize control of the country. Backed by the rich hoping to further rape and pillage the country and those scared that if Temu Hitler loses power they’ll be held accountable.
