Donald Trump sparked fury among his MAGA base by sharing an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus on social media, moments after launching a scathing attack on Pope Leo XIV
I voted for Trump in 2016 . . . because I was lied to and I fell for it
That’s a really weird metaphor. It doesn’t really make any sense.
There’s a well known metaphor about burning your own boats so that you’re unable to retreat. But, those aren’t lifeboats.
If you’re talking about not letting people get rescued, why not “sink the lifeboats”? Setting them on fire would be annoying, but a fire would be easy to put out if the boats are out at sea. There’s water all around. The article seems to be more about not allowing people who have abandoned the sinking ship to come on board. So, why not just “ignore the lifeboats”. You don’t have to approach them and set them on fire. You can just refuse to rescue the people in those lifeboats and leave them floating out at sea.
I know driftglass has made his enemies, especially among never-trumpers and the MSM, but I doubt it’s extended to Lemmy, LOL. Maybe it’s a blogspot thing?
Yeah, the domain is blogspot with a dot com. If you search driftglass blogspot and burn the lifeboats, he’s written about it (and probably so has his wife, bluegal) and talked about it on their podcast several times over the years in regards to the teabagger movement and the offramps given to Republicans so they can temporarily claim to be “independents”, and then go right back to voting Republican.
Meanwhile, the rest of us need to Burn The Lifeboats
