Champagne? Opening the front and back doors to let the old air out and new air in? Will the new air really be any better?
I won’t celebrate. Not because I’m not pleased, but because the fight is not over, and unfortunately, many who “woke up” to fascism thanks to Trump will happily go right back to sleep and stop voting and stop caring, which helps the fascist Republicans continue to attack our democracy.
Trump is evil, but it’s not like he’s the only evil man in a sea of reason; Republicans are fascists and in many ways (i.e. sans dementia) as bad or worse.
Also, depending on how he dies, his cult will absolutely go bug-fucking bonkers, making him into a martyr, or maybe it’ll spark violence. It is unlikely to end well.
He’s a symptom, not the cause.
He’s arguably doing more damage to the fascist movement than he is supporting it lately. I think they will be the ones celebrating when he is gone, but they will not stop pushing fascism. The infection has metastasized extensively, and once he is gone it will really get to work.
I wont celebrate until I see a successful revolution abolish capitalism
I plan to book/get a tattoo that reads “I outlived the clown” under a cute clown face. I’m a circus performer so it’ll be a fun talking point
Alcohol, music.
Judging by the size of the no kings protests, I expect there will be literal celebrations in the streets like at the end of Return of the Jedi
We’re going to be waiting a while.
When we see him coming out with sunglasses, and perched up between two guys who are suspiciously close to him, only then can we estimate the time down to a couple of hours (depending on how many ads for Goya beans there are).Celebrate what?
The passing that will hopefully begin the decline of the maga cult.
Then put it in the actual question you dingo.
A dingo ate my baby.
Part of the fun was that most people knew what i meant. Like the IsHeDeadYet website. I noticed that someone posted the full question in AskLemmy shortly after mine.
I once called my mom and asked why don’t they just shoot him. She didn’t have to ask who I meant
I have a bottle of champagne earmarked for him, Netanyahu, a US destroyer or capital ship, or maybe a B2 bomber.
Not a thing. I won’t do a single thing differently other than a sigh of relief. Then I’ll get back on with my day.
He wants nothing more than to be remembered. To be the center of attention.
I won’t give them any more power over my life than they have already stolen.
I get that. Personally, Im going to celebrate to take back some of the energy he has sapped from my life. A spite-lebration.
If he just wanted to be remembered he wouldn’t get so upset about people saying bad things about him.
He would hate people celebrating his death with the collective expression of joy it deserves.
Celebrate years later maybe after the repairs are showing results.
But a toast nevertheless.
Documents from bygone eras talk about a concept called “hope”. Sadly, knowledge of what that concept actually represented has been long lost to the mists of time.
Wait about three seconds before everybody finds their next excuse to be the shitty version of themselves.
Usually, I spend $40 in a buffet, annihilate all their snowcrabs, then spend an hour next day on to toilet until my leg is so numb that I can barely stand.
Do I care? No, because I have made it: I make more than minimum wage now.
Maybe much the same as when we last had a general election in the UK.
For a hot minute I thought “So this is how I find out”, but after checking a couple news sites it looks like we’re still waiting.
Guy goes to the news stand every morning, looks at the stack, grumbles, and walks away. One day the seller asks him what he’s looking for.
“An obituary.”
“Obituaries are at the back, not on the front page.”
“The one I’m looking for will be.”
Supposedly from Russia or at least a USSR country. Makes sense.
I think we can officially borrow it now in the US…
I only heard it about Germany under Hitler.
Lacking proper scholarly evidence, I’m just going to assume it showed up within a decade of the invention of printed news.
I figure the day I wake up and check Reddit or here or any of the social media feeds and they’ve all crashed will probably be a sign…
