I was scrolling on Lemmy and I saw at least 5 Trump mug shot posts. It’s just annoying at this point.

Agree. They’re taking up space that could be used to post more about reddit.
We should repost reddit posts about Trump, just to REALLY piss off the resident curmudgeons 😁
Add Mushy to the mix and you’ve got a trifecta!

Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller mixed their DNA? Dayum he’s the Ken that Barbie movie should’ve used.
Is that Vanillla Ice?
Even though I hate giving him free advertising, the more it’s memed the faster it’ll die
Trump is a bottomless well. He wakes up every morning and thinks to himself, “Nothing is wrong. Everything I do is tremendously smart.”
It’s posted a lot because it was a rare event. How many former presidents had a mugshot taken and are STILL trying to run for president again?
Americans like their presidents old as fuck and insane or demented. :)
I swear, as long as they are good at talking in a way so people think they are in the same situation as the douschebag millionaire, they vote for him.
“Make America great again by voting for me, old corrupted smelly old man”.
It’s 2023 and people still believe what these guys say.
That seriously boggles my mind too. How can you get excited about these candidates?

You know what I’m gonna start posting about Trump even harder
Also just plain no. Americans have been waiting for this for the past few years and it’s fucking cathartic
cathartic
Understandable, but personally, I really hate it.
What I really looked forward to after Trump’s pathetic election loss in 2020 was being able to look at reddit without 2/3 of the posts being Trump this, Trump that, trump trump trump.
I was super disappointed. While the page wasn’t all-trump-all-the-time anymore, I’d still see 1-2 Trump posts per page. That continues to this day on Lemmy :(
I want to read about good and interesting things here, not just be part of feeding a monster’s ego.
I get not wanting to see it everywhere but you also have to understand that this is really world news. This is a central figure in American politics that is actually going to trial for an attempt to overthrow American democracy.
This is a historical moment that will probably be talked about for decades regardless of which direction it goes.
So you say, but it doesn’t make the shit sandwich taste any better.
Yeah but as an American I’m the one that has to deal with the smell long after the sandwich is gone
As another American I have been sick of his stupid name and face since 2015 myself and if there was someone to beg for the madness to end, I would too. Problem is it isn’t just Jimmy Kimmel, the entire world can’t stop talking about him for one day.
Also “it’s a historic event” applies to this one, sure, it doesn’t apply to things like “lol he’s got tiny hands” which A) Are funny once not 30k times, and B) Isn’t “a historic event” that would necessitate I see his face. Sure I get why every single lemming is obligated to work in the trump post mines to keep it going but you also have to realize not everyone wants it to keep going.
Do you think you’re the only American in this thread?
It’s been around for only a couple days, it’ll die down soon enough.
No
The Internet demands it.
If you want to have a meaningful conversation that might result in this changing, you will have to do that in each of the groups you subscribe to. Posting in mildlyinfuriating isn’t going to stop memes elsewhere.
Sync app allows you to filter out all content based on keywords. I’ve got Trump, Biden, gop, dnc, dems, Republicans, and many more keywords filtered out. I haven’t seen one mugshot since.
It’s lovely here, now
The thing is, thes posts don’t have trump in their title…
How did you find this post, then? While misspelled in the title, it clearly says “Trump” in the body text…
Sorry, I said all content, but I meant all titles. It filters out any content with a title with those words in it.
And yes, the typo in the title is how it got through.
If you use Sync or Connect you can add ‘Trump’ as a block word
They’re tricky but not impossible to block on kbin, but it’s harder to deal with the bandwagon overflow into unrelated communities.
The idea of posting to any one of several political meme communities just doesn’t occur to some people. Apparently “everything is political”…

Instead let’s meme about this thing I found in the toilet after I pooped. I’m pretty sure it’s not poop because I don’t remember eating a live lizard. Also I have this new fear of toilet monsters and I’m in my forties.
Wait till you hear about toilet mimics
I’m just mad at my cats
It would still be a better president than Trump
Extreme solution: Just start blocking everyone who posts a Trump post.
