@casinofem nevermind... I read your "ideology"
@SnowyCA my bio isn't a sincere representation of my political positions -

@alice That's not fair to the one on the left. We shouldn't judge what what a man and his couch do in the privacy of their home

A genocidal maniac, a sexual abuser and a recidivist fraud walk into a White House ...

@Njord hey, as long as all persons involved are giving informed, enthusiastic, and ongoing consent, then he can love that loveseat all he wants

Punching up is not the same as punching down.
Trump was born into wealth and sits in one of the most powerful positions in the world, and regularly uses his platform to attack the most marginalized groups.
@alice mostly post messages of affirmation and support, with an occasional post punching up. (Also lock picking posts. Those a cool too!)

Genuinely curious: Has this always been a thing in the US? To hang pictures of the President, VP, etc. in government buildings? Or is this new?
I ask because the practice, alone, really gives "Dear Leader" kinda vibes.

@eric @zzeligg @alice Also, the underlying basis of Alice's post is a true fact, one of considerable public concern. Trump, arguably the most powerful person in the world, with an enormous platform, has, in fact, been found liable for sexual assault. Reminding people of that with humor in the form of a topical visual joke isn't unfair or lopsided. It's an important type of political commentary.

@spockrocket it's the first I've noticed it, but yeah, feels very "welcome to the dictatorship".

@spockrocket
Yes, in government buildings there usually are official photos displayed, mainly at the main entrance or other significant place. Not 8x10s scattered around.

That's honestly kind of unsettling. It feels like a really awkward and maybe not-so-effective way to handle public safety.

@spockrocket @alice here in Italy we got a picture of the president in most public offices
The president has no executive power here, his (we still wait for the first woman) role replaced the king and it's called the guardian of the constitution, so I guess the message of the picture here is "we got no king, we chose our head of state with a democratic and bi-partisan procedure"

@alice who's in the photos? Alt text didn't tell me.

@alice bwahahaha! well it could've been that too. you know what I meant
