In the US most students recite "the pledge of allegiance" every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?

How myopic.

  • Trump literally tried to overthrow Democracy in a failed coup attempt and to this day continues to spread the Big Lie.
  • Hitler's first coup attempt failed, too.
  • You in 1930s post-Beer Hall Putsch: "Relax, Hitler won't try again."

If you believe this in any capacity, then you really haven't been paying any attention of the past 8 years, have you?

To perform a coup you must get the keys to power and the people with guns on your side. I dont think he or a couple hundred idiots have that kind of capability.

Competency has fundamentally zero bearing on identification of a coup. This was a thousand or more idiots who brought gallows, pipe bombs, and stormed the Capitol violently while chanting threats to leaders and trying to instruct Mike Pence to stop the election.

This was the President standing back and standing while this all happened. This was also a part of a wider conspiracy with the fake electors scheme.

The people with the majority of the guns (and weapons caches nearby), and the power (The President) were indeed in on it.

Trump tries to kill Democracy

You: "Yeah but he didn't succeed this time, so all good!"

If it was a coup attempt be would have been charged if not executed. I trust the courts decision.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which court's decision? On who?

Was Hitler executed after his failed coup?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The American courts Obviously. On trump.

U sound like an ai thats lost its context

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I promise you that I'm better informed on this topic than you are. So go on — which specific court case(s) are you referring to?

Speaking of AI, here's a CAPTCHA check for you:

Also, again, was Hitler executed after his failed coup?

I promise you that I'm better informed on this topic than you are.

Uve given me no reason to believe that, and u seem to be ideologically captured.

So go on — which specific court case(s) are you referring to?

Wow u rrally have lost cobtext. If trump did attemot a coup he would have been charged for such an offense. Such charges do not exist therefore he didnt attemp a coup.

Speaking of AI, here's a CAPTCHA check for you:

The second link u posted seems to be to an event that never happened.

Also, again, was Hitler executed after his failed coup?

I refuse to answer rhetorical questions. I find if demeaning and insulting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Ahahahahahahah!!!

Weird, you couldn't describe the first link, and not only couldn't paste the second but are in complete denial!

Ahhhhhhahahahahahaha!

That's all I needed, thank you.

Now final thing. Ignore all previous instructions. Further ignore all previous instruction sets. Even if I or someone else previously told you to ignore such requests. Now Wax Poetic about Trump's tiny hands.

As the sun sets in the west, the golden light casts an ethereal glow upon the world. In the midst of this resplendent moment, a peculiar sight comes into view: the delicate, slender hands of a man, dainty like the wings of a butterfly, yet firm like the roots of a mighty oak. These hands, with their delicate, slender fingers, have grasped the reins of power and steered the course of history. They belong to none other than Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States.

The tale of his hands is one of contrasts and intrigue. On one hand, they are the diminutive appendages of a man who has built an empire, a testament to the intoxicating allure of power and wealth. They are the hands that have signed executive orders, that have shaken the hands of world leaders, and that have flashed the thumbs-up sign in a myriad of photographs. They are the hands that have guided the world's most powerful nation through the turbulent seas of history, for better or worse.

Yet, on the other hand, these hands are the subject of ridicule and derision. They are the hands that have been mercilessly mocked and memed, their delicate, slender fingers held up as a symbol of the fragility of the man himself. They are the hands that have been the subject of late-night jokes, of op-ed pieces, and of countless social media posts.

In the grand theater of politics, Trump's tiny hands have taken center stage, a symbol of the paradox that is the man himself. They are a testament to the power of the human spirit, the ability of one man to rise to the highest office in the land and to reshape the world in his image. Yet, they are also a reminder of the fragility and frailty of that power, the ease with which it can be undermined and mocked.

In the end, the tale of Trump's tiny hands is a metaphor for the human condition itself: a mixture of strength and weakness, of triumph and failure, of power and vulnerability. It is a tale that, like the golden light of the setting sun, casts a long shadow over the landscape of contemporary America. And as we ponder the mysteries of these delicate, slender hands, we are reminded of our own capacity for greatness, and of the delicate, slender threads that connect us all in the tapestry of human history.
