Rules (interactive)

I realize there's no singular answer for this, but many of the MAGA crowd attribute many of our current woes to the prior administration, like cost of living, inflation, unemployment rates, etc.

I'd imagine that every day that passes and we get more and more distant from Biden's presidency, it gets a bit harder to blame him for every problem.

e.g. It'd be hard to blame many of the increased prices on electronics on him, since much of this has been driven by Trump's tariffs (but I bet someone will attempt to refute this!)

This is a long-winded way of me asking the community, have you seen any Trump fans start to come around at all? When do we start living in the conditions (good or bad) of Trump's America and stop laying blame on the last administration?

I'm interested to see what people of all persuasions feel about this.

For myself, I have seen some minor loss of enthusiasm among Trump followers, but I haven't seen anyone register as a Democrat yet :)

The answer is 'never'. If these people were capable of self reflection then Trump wouldn't have a second term. That's not how cults of personality work.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 27 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Once he bites the big one, we'll start hearing horror stories from his flunkies that are no longer afraid to tell the truth, but it won't amount to anything at that point, as MAGA still won't believe any of it.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

You just hope that all the self serving gremlins that gravitated towards Chief Cheeto spend the rest of their lives like adults that peaked in high school. Just trying to relive the glory days while slowly sliding into liver cirrhosis and amphetamine addiction while being ignored by their families

Donald Trump has not been held accountable by anyone since his father died. Even when he was convicted of felony paperwork violations, his punishment was to get elected President (again!).

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

He also raped someone and it was proven in a court of law.

Straight to the Oval Office!!!

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

The most likely answer is it'll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He's more likely to die, before he'll see any kind of real punishment for anything.

Now that he's about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 18 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

LOL! The guy said the trade deal that was made between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (USMCA) was done by an idiot and had to be re-done.

That was HIS DEAL! HE WROTE IT!!!

Did he take accountability? Of course not!

Well, he's not wrong...

[–] db2@lemmy.world 18 points 13 hours ago

Never. He's not capable. Even if it's forced on him, like it ought to be, he'd learn nothing and it would still be everyone but his fault. He's a geriatric toddler with brain damage.

[–] OrkneyKomodo@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It took around 15 years in the UK for blaming the previous government to finally stop working.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Jesus Christ. 15 years??

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 14 points 17 hours ago

Never. That's the very obvious answer. Why are you even asking?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago
[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 13 points 11 hours ago

There will never be real accountability in a two party system

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) typically struggle significantly with taking genuine accountability for their actions and the impact they have on others.

[–] nimpnin@sopuli.xyz 8 points 19 hours ago

When he is forced to.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Hahahahahahahahahaha, MAGA taking accountability. That's a good one

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 8 points 19 hours ago

When Americans take accountability.

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

He literally said "I think the good parts are the Trump economy, and the bad parts are the Biden economy." Even the interviewer said nothing about it. If he ever sees accountability, it'll be after a lot more suffering on our part.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 6 points 17 hours ago

Oh, there are two simple answers to this:

  1. He will NEVER accept accountability for his actions. If he feels like it, he'll eat a live baby on TV and walk away untroubled.
  2. He will be held accountable when (and ONLY when) the people hold him accountable.

He will never stop until he is in jail or dead. And the same is true for most of his sycophant followers.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 hour ago

Trump will never take accountability. He has to be held to account by his betters.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

I don't think that poor excuse of a man knows what accountability is

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 5 points 19 hours ago

What, you think any of the stuff he said is expected by his base?

It was never about the stuff he said, it was about how you didn't have an answer to it he couldn't counter, so you lose and they win.

What you lose and they win about was never the issue, and there is no consequence to it beyond perhaps the opportunity of another argument they may have a harder time winning, but they know how to win arguments against you, so they're not particularly worried.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Hah.

That man has never been accountable for anything in his life. Hell, he's made it to 80 eating solely McDonalds fast food. Fucking colon cancer and heart disease can't hold this man accountable, what makes you think the spineless ass kissing money grubbers in Congress are going to do it?

[–] paequ2@lemmy.today 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

When other countries start invading?

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 3 points 19 hours ago

I hope that happens soon.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

have you seen any Trump fans start to come around at all?

I have, but it's not exactly common. And it doesn't always change their minds entirely.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago
[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

He will take accountability at the same moment the Austrian mustache man too accountability for the holocaust. That is, he will go to the grave never taking accountability.

[–] iamanoldguy@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

He'll never take accountability. He has to be held accountable, which will also never happen.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 15 minutes ago

T was never held accountable for anything, why would he change? T’s followers see themselves in him and will continue to reject reality because their identity is closely tied to T. Continuing to live in denial is the brains way of protecting itself. For some people the flipside to this is psychosis.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

When Americans force him to.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 1 points 18 hours ago

There won't be any. You saw that lack in his last administration, everything wrong was "sabotage by the Deep State". Now it's that he's doing the right things, they're just "being implemented wrong".

I keep thinking back to something I heard during the election: Republicans get to be lawless, Democrats have to be flawless.

Not that I'm bitter ....

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

The dude could literally have the hangman’s noose of judgement around his neck and still be ranting and blaming everyone but himself. He cannot operate any other way. It’s pathological.

[–] QuantumTickle@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago

I hear there's a new conservative community in town: !conservative2@lemmy.today

The mod there doesn't seem to cut Trump any slack. Still, not sure we needed another comm though.

The blame needs to be placed squarely on capitalism and not a specific person. It's capitalism that's fucking us, government is the legislative arm of capitalism. Edit sp
