I know making another thread on a Trump tweet may be excessive, but...
wat.
(EDIT: Title is slightly incorrect, the magazine cover isn't new)

Trump tweets a video of the new Time Magazine cover

Trumpism will survive so long as there are sub-mediocre angry white people looking to blame people of other ethnicities for their failures.
They're basically saying how his ideology - the naked white supremacy, the contempt of competence and compassion, etc. - will outlast him and influence many future Republican candidates. Of course, he's too dumb to get it.
Right? This is exactly what I thought on reading those article titles.

well yea, trump isn't the problem, he's never been the problem
opportunist idiots like him exist all over the place, people actually voting for him is the problem
politics is tribalistic as fuck these days aswell as people being apathetic and uninformed
placing the blame at the feet of an elected representative is one of the dumbest things ive ever heard of
the single biggest reason why donald trump is the president of the united states is because he has an R next to his name, if he had a Z he would have gotten 2% of the vote

I don't Time understands that the American public is dumb as hell and won't get what the cover is saying.
I actually don't think 'Trumpism' in the purest sense will last past him. His favored candidates seem to do really poorly when up against more traditional challengers.
Until the police and military, that are largely Republican supporting entities, says there isn't.
Can we please not turn "Trumpism" into a thing. I don't want that shitbags name attached to such a historic phenomenon in politics so we have to keep hearing it over and over and over.
i fear for the safety of Americans if trump wins in 2020
so we're fucked either way
What Dubya enabled in 2000, and specifically immediately post-9/11, in terms of bigotry and hatred has certainly far from gone away
The correct voices to listen to said in 2016 that the hatred and racism and homophobia and transphobia his followers showed wouldn't go away so easily, if at all. In '17, '18, this year, or next year, or soon after
Exactly. I'd argue it's not getting fixed in our lifetimes either, but neither is climate change and people bury their heads in the sand about that too

I agree. It should just be called what it is: fascism.
Trump getting out of office means nothing. His influence has already broken the political psyche of not just America, but the world. People in every other country can dispassionately mock the US like "Man, what idiots for voting in a racist reality star," but right wing nationalism and bigoted rhetoric are rising everywhere. Brexit was a warning, and people in the US thought "that could never happen here."
Who is the Republican Party after Trump? What lessons have they learned other than any presumed accountability against their racism, sexism, queerphobia, or outright criminal actions is toothless, and that the American public can continue to be swayed by apathy and hate-mongering? Do you think those beliefs are going to lose favor within the party, and the people who benefited from Trump's regime are just going cower back into their spider-holes?
"Trumpism" will outlast him. The Republican party have shown who they are, but it won't scare people away. The politicians who slowly stepped away as his insane narcissism and bigotry become only more and more public will replace him under this false notion that they were "the conscientious objectors," and perhaps "a promising show of progress within the Republican Party." Centrists will prop up these examples as validation to continue voting Republican, ignoring just how long it took for those same politicians to realize proximity-to-Trump looks bad on their resumes. The people who think voting out Trump is some decisive final victory will go back to acting like 'racism is defeated' and that they don't need to care anymore. The battle against fascist right-wing ideology is going to keep being fought, and we're going to keep dealing with people who didn't learn the fucking lesson.
Even if you chase the Nazis into the fucking streets, America is going to think it can go back to sleep in this 250 year old house, ignoring the damage done to its structure. Ignoring the natural decay that badly needed replacing even 100 years ago. They'll go back to sleep, ignoring the smoke alarms, and before you know it, the house will easily be set ablaze again, with everyone shocked that their right wing pyromaniac of a neighbor could do such damage...

Unfortunately, he's probably bought into the right wing meme that 2024 is going to be Don Jr.'s turn, and then 2032 is when Ivanka gets to be president.
Of course he's been on Time's cover before. Who can forget this one proudly hanging in his golf club?
... especially with the prospect of prison once out of Office.
I think it took people voting for him
I'm not voting someone in based on a meme
1, conservatives, mainly Republicans who only want power and lack the skills to govern.
2, social media, specifically the dumbing down of people who use it in their ability to critically think and just accept everything they read/watch as fact.
3, conservatives again in how they stoke fear in the hearts and minds of white dudes.
4, people in general for being more interested in entertainment and distraction than civic matters that they feel are unimportant to them, which has allowed conservatives to control and pass shitty legislation all over the country making things worse so they seek out more distractions and disengage from their civic duties.
I know voting is a right and anyone can choose not to, but we all should look at it as our obligation to each other to participate. Without citizen unity in voting, actual participation or all voting the same, we get to where we are now, where corporations and the interest of the uner rich have a greater hand in shaping things. I'm not ignoring that they have always had more leverage, but if we had 100% participation they wouldn't.
I mean, he's got all those kids to set up as puppets and extensions when he's hit his 8 years, if he decides he's done by then. You're always hearing about dictators being replaced by wives and kids. The wife wouldn't work here unless other rules were changed, but I'm pretty sure people have been talking about Ivanka being the first female president since 2016.

Trump, uh, tweeted the video again.
Is this video just going to be posted every day until the election?
