The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

But it is a typical Trump deal, selling vibes of "doing it the rough old way, with guns and hookers and lead paint and gasoline that makes your windows rainbow-colored".

That's what he sells. His fans know it's not achievable, they want a mess sufficient for something better to evolve, and vibes for them signify that mess. It's a bit like Shadow ideology in Babylon V.
