Kamala Calls For Peaceful Transfer Of Power To Adolf Hitler
Kamala Calls For Peaceful Transfer Of Power To Adolf Hitler
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stirring concession speech following last night's election loss, Kamala Harris announced she would work to ensure a peaceful transition of power to the man she called Adolf Hitler for the last year.
The first and only good babylonbee article
Pathetic
It's called leading through example, because the MAGA cult is so good at following the examples given to them.
From the article:
"It's my responsibility to make sure this tyrannical despot assumes power," Harris told the crowd of supporters after officially conceding the race. "Though he will end freedom itself in this country, imprison anyone who disagrees with him, systematically murder all women, and go door to door kicking everyone's dogs, I promise to make sure there is a peaceful transition of power."
The media hailed Harris's brilliance and the leadership she displayed while conceding to a man who is literally Hitler.
Make sure Joe pardons the fuck out everybody on your way out. Also he should resign if only to fuck with their merch.
I hate Babylon Bee, but a broken clock & all that.
Either this situation isn’t as bad as they said it would be during the campaign (which is what Babylon Bee is implying) or it IS as bad as they said it is, and they’re letting it happen anyways.
Either way, they’re spineless fucking liars.
Theres two main reasons not to stop it from happening:
-
It would make the DNC as bad as the GOP
-
The people don't really deserve more help, tbh.
For point 2: What about people who voted for Harris and who will definitely be persecuted under republican domestic policy? What about people in other countries who will suffer and die from republican foreign policy? What about everyone on the planet who will suffer even more from climate change due to republican environmental policy?
Not everyone voted for Orange Mussolini yk

So... they are criticizing her for not trying to overthrow democracy? Like trying to pull a coup would have been the only rational, non-hypocritical response here? What a worrying attitude
If you were alive in 1930s Europe, would you have said the same thing about Hitler and Mussolini?
Time really is a fucking circle.
Like trying to pull a coup would have been the only rational, non-hypocritical response here
Yes. What kind of party hands over power to people they know is fascist?
A liberal one, yes. Which is the problem, and why liberalism eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is in decline.
The real answer is the kind of party that a majority of voters chose a rapist felon over. I don't even want to help them, anymore, I started learning German again just in case I feel like leaving.
Only if you don't believe Donald Trump's own words.
Since when did we start believing trump ?
Isn’t he commonly understood to be a pathological liar ?
Why is that a worrying attitude?
They’re criticizing her for saying “he’s facist hitler” through the campaign as the sole message, and then when they lose, shrugging and treating it like any other loss. “Oh well, better luck next time!”
Babylon Bee’s point is that the rhetoric doesn’t match the actions. If he was Hitler, then why are you handing him the reigns like this is just any other election? Their implication is that the campaign dramatized his impact and demonized him. They’re right about the criticism but wrong about the reason.
He DOES represent the evils they’ve been espousing, and they are laying down and doing fuck all about it except paving him a clear path. Babylon Bee has managed to accidentally write their most non-partisan headline ever by accident, and a scathing indictment of spineless liberalism.
Why is that a worrying attitude?
Because it seems to be pointed in the direction of a civil war and an end to the US republic
He DOES represent the evils they’ve been espousing, and they are laying down and doing fuck all about it except paving him a clear path.
What do you think should be done instead?
At first I was surprised this was coming from the Fascist friendly Bee, but then I read it and realized they're trying to sound sarcastic, but making the correct point perfectly. This is fucking meta.
It’s like some kind of reverse Poe’s law, when the sarcasm of the outrageous minded is indistinguishable from a sane opinion.
Also Godwin’s law.
This whole thing is cracking me up. I can imagine them writing all sorts of articles like "Democrats want ALL people to have access to basic needs like food, shelter, education, and health care." Then MAGAts reading that just laughing their heads off while the rest of us are just stuck wondering where the joke is.
It's some real self-awarewolf shit.
I wish this was the right community to post this. Unfortunately, it more properly belongs in nottheonion
Ah, so when the other side wins lemmy is suddenly against peaceful transfer of power. Interesting.
I think it's more a criticism of the Dems. They spent four years saying Trump is the death of America and now they're just going to hand it to him. There's two implications of that:
-
Trump isn't the enemy they made him out to be.
-
Or, they just don't care about American democracy.
A long criticism of Dems has been their refusal to treat Trump as the threat he is. He tried to perform a coup and what has happened? Some guy was accused of using fake money and was extra-judicially executed in the street, but perform a coup and life goes on.

That joke title is going to age like the Weimar Republic xD
Actually that was a JD Vance quote. Harris kept it more classy.
Either way, he's more of a Mussolini type. Less vision, more opportunism.
Let's hope he remains a Mussolini type to his dying day.
Specifically on that one day. I hope he is bedridden until then
First and only and it looks like Babylon staff didn't even come up with the idea - at the bottom it suggests this was a reader submission.
Biden is the one responsible for transferring power. Even right wing satire is full of ignorance. Not that there was ever any doubt.
She literally said this though.
"I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power."
It was her concession speech though.
Someone already wrote that article: Biden vows 'peaceful and orderly transition;' says election system 'fair' and 'transparent'.
