Look who is the majority surrounding him. That’s why.

Because the only difference between a terrorist group and an army is the size of their budget.

I mean, people do, although terrorist isn’t a super accurate label for him. Terrorist implies using violence to create terror for a political gain. Trump generally is more acting out of sheer stupidity and malice rather than for any deeper political agenda. Terms like violent madman, fascist, war criminal, murderer or wannabe dictator are more accurate.

You’ll never guess who’s been put in charge in deciding who gets called a terrorist.

We hold a seat on the security council which is essentially for the duration of the organization. It represents, or at least did, the largest, most influential countries in the world during much of the cold war. Russia’s kleptocracy has diminished its strength considerably and Ukraine is bogging them down so badly it’s ruin an already fragile economy.

France and the UK have diminished in scope now but the ratification in 1945 gave them the seats.

The USA is losing its softer powers which were usually economic control because we have the insane asylum patients at the wheel who understand geo-politics as well as a five year old quantum physics.

China is probably the only one whose gaining more power as others waver but that’s not to say they aren’t in some strained shape as well. China is second behind Japan for holding US Debt followed closely by the UK. The next country behind that is Luxembourg at roughly 40% of the UK. If the USA becomes heavily insolvent, which we’re heading because of run away austerity, those countries are not going to be in a good position for long.

With all that, they’re highly reluctant to consider the USA president a terrorist threat or more correctly a rogue national leader. It’d be a game of chicken where all parties would lose essentially.

This is all because he is the president of US and US citizens are dickheads for electing him and actually like his show. They dont care if some girls died or a country goes without food, that is why there is so much gun violence. They love violence and like to sing praisen of capitalism and democracy, even tho it is hurting them more but their pride wont acceot that.

He is, but the 1% like him because he helps them make money. My question is, how do we push this message to people on Facebook without giving Zuck more money?

But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat

Not to defend Trump but that’s not true. US has been starting illegal wars of aggression for it’s entire existence.

The Iraq war was “justified” largely for the same reason the Iran war is being.

Donestic Terrorist.

Unclear if typo, or the new correct spelling for that term.

SCOTUS got hijacked

you would be surprised about how little the average person cares about whether the president is a huge asshole. half the population is fed fox news, which means they’ll get whatever narrative is handy to the rich. the other half is having a mental meltdown on social media which honestly doesn’t help anyone. then there’s the whole thing that i feel like america is just a fundamentally broken and sick society with like 50 problems (each of which feels like it should be lethal) and trump is yet another one of those.

I mean, is he not? The rest of the world is just scared he’ll nuke something if they push back in any real way.

Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist.

We actually do all the time. He’s the president of the most powerful and wealthy nation on earth. Most presidents cannot contradict him even though they all think he is an idiot.

Imagine this scenario: you have a group of friends. You’re not equally close with all of them but you all hang out together and do stuff together and you all get along fine in general. You help each other out with tools and food, you lend each other your cars, you attend each other’s parties, you defend each other against other people who are not part of your group, you might even date each other or each other’s siblings. It’s not always sunshine and roses but you’re generally able to solve most issues that arise by working together. Any differences in opinion can usually be resolved or worked around.

And then one of you starts acting out. They seem to go through some really tough shit. Maybe something happened in their private life that they’re not willing to share. Maybe there’s some serious medical stuff going on. They yell at everybody, antagonise everybody, don’t return the tools they borrow, don’t contribute anything to the biweekly barbecue, and demand that everybody come around every Friday and do work around their house, for free. Because of all the things they did for everybody else in the past or something.

You wouldn’t instantly kick them out of the group, would you? You’d try to reason with them, try to find out what changed, try to help with whatever issue they seem to have, maybe you’d try to sit it out and hope they get better on their own. You’ve been together in this group of friends for a long time and all of you have generally always benefitted from it. Also, you’re still using their streaming account and you’re only halfway through Last of Stranger Thrones.

It’s going to take a while until the people in your friend group, one by one, reach their limit and are ready to tell the person who’s making everybody miserable to fuck off. They’re not going to do it on their own either, they’ll be waiting for everybody else to signal their readiness, because they’re afraid of being singled out of the group. You can only hope that by the time everybody is ready, your houses and cars and families are still intact.

It’s infinitely more complicated on an international scale.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on any of this.
