I want a time machine so that i can go back 20 years and start yelling on a street corner about how they're going to make some guy from Chicago the Pope and how the guy from The Apprentice will be elected President twice and build an alligator based concentration camp in Florida.
If I had said time machine and I went back knowing what I knew even if I was a tween…id engage the gun lessons at school (no shit) and take care of the problem before its a problem
I'd go back 40 years & expatriate. Hubs & I discussed briefly when Reagan was elected, but weren't able to. Life quickly took over & 40 yrs later...wish we would've taken the risk. The foreplay started with Reagan. The totally fucked hit with Felon47.
Well it's 16 years since I piled some money into Anthony Baxters excellent film "You've been Trumped" we knew the ...
Does this Time Machine carry more then one passenger, because a lot of us need to join you, #strengthinnumbers #loudestvoices
I keep looking for the 12 monkeys guy.
It makes the back to the future scene about the actor being president seems almost quaint now (even tho Reagan started a lot of the bullshit that got us here)
And in 5 years after that buy $1000 in Bitcoin! You would be a multimillionaire by now!
I wish you could go back 40 years at least and start yelling THEN.
I want to go back 35 years ago to college and tell the 80 some people odd people in my government class that this shit really matters.
Sigh... youtu.be/CVC3MZpQnmk?...
If I could go back 20 years, it wouldn't be to yell. We tried warnings. It didn't work.
By and by
80 years ago thousands of allied soldiers told their stories about fighting fascists and what they saw in Europe .. Seems no one believed enough in them to take those stories seriously and learn from them You can’t go back and tell anyone anything But you can damn be a leader today and fight back
They would think you are insane lol
would have been a great way to get me to share my weed with you tbh
Where would they lock you up?
My dad would have told me to cross the street and keep clear of the kooks! 🤣
And everyone back then would have put you in a padded cell… yet here we are… in a horror novel too scary for Stephen King to write.
And you'll be dismissed as over-reacting.
I might have believed the part about the Pope, but not the 🍊🤡. He’s been a con long before The Apprentice. 🙁
I think I passed that guy on the street in Chicago twenty years ago screaming out those very words. He was using a karaoke boombox. I thought he was crazy.
Alligators are kinda cool though 💀
They’d certify you!
It's that old philosophical conundrum If you traveled back in time to just before when Hitler (or Shitler) took power, knowing how it will turn out, would you be morally justified to kill him to save others? Never knew before but now, my answer is a resounding YES!
Think The Simpson's beat you to it homie.
i think i basically did that without the specifics it was about the patriot act it didn't help
😬😬😬
"Reagan? He's an actor!"
“And who’s Vice President? Jerry Lewis?! I suppose Jane Wyman is First Lady!”
We’d simply be yelling about how fake The Apprentice is. Not worth watching. Maybe we’d have circumvented this total annihilation of democracy.
They would have locked you away for insanity.
Back then they would have thought you were nuts! I would have never dreamed this would have happened in my 40s.
They would never believe it
You would be put in a mental institution most likely! 😩
The G.O.P. is a WMD that spews HATE, FEAR & LIES! G.O.P. now stands for GUT, OBSTRUCT & PRIVATIZE! THEY STAND AGAINST most everything WE THE PEOPLE are standing for! But WHEN THEY THREATEN OUR HEALTH & SECURITY, Now that's AN ACT OF WAR!! (written in 2006 under Bush)
It would have been easier to do a direct action back then
If i could go back 20 years I'd be doing something a hell of a lot more proactive than yelling.
No one will listen. I was talking about what we’re dealing with being in our future (not exactly what you listed but fascism, camps) and my father threatened to put me away for ‘help’ People having been warning and shouting, even lighting themselves on fire to bring attention to this
And you'd be locked up in a mental institution until 2025 when they realize you were telling the truth!🤣
I'd like to yell at everyone to never make a single social media account ever.
No one would believe you
Could you buy some Apple shares for me?
You’ll rightfully spend a few nights in the drunk tank.
And they would lock you up for lunacy.
What time period do you think 2005 is in? You could shout whatever nonsense you please, it isn't the 1940s.
I’m just saying people would think they were crazy.
Even 10 years would be crazy
They’d have locked you up.
Just also remember to tell everyone to buy into Bitcoin
They’ll just lock you up!
I already had no basic civil or human rights 20 years ago after being shot at in bed by the police with no warning no reason for them to be there Cause they missed they had to make up fake story that never happened by 3 cops who weren’t there Could only happen in the Nazi state of lawless Maine
Dude..they’ll think your mad
HEY!!! There’s not a damn thing wrong with a pope from Chicago. Actually, as popes go, he’s pretty great. Fuck the other guy though.
you can stop feeling guilty about it. they wouldn't believe you anyway. same as germany 1937.
They'll lock you up
Imagine trying to explain Hawk Tuah coin to someone in 2005 lmao
Don’t forgot a crazy world wide pandemic.
And the HHS Secretary would believe MMR causes autism, while downplaying the time when he had his doctor testify in court his mental acquity was slipping due to mercury exposure and a brain worm having eaten part of his brain and died...
I think i remember that guy back in 1987. Should've listened to him.
Honestly, if you pitched that as a movie plot 20 years ago, they’d call it too unrealistic. But here we are….living in the director’s cut of late-stage empire. 🤦🏽♀️
It was on someones cardboard sign, we just didn't believe
I’m honestly surprised Prez. Biff Tannen didn’t get the alligators freakin laser beams on their heads! But hey, tomorrow is another day! 🤷🏻♂️
Idiocracy came out in 2006 and we all had a good laugh.
I want to say I would have believed it then too but nah….this shit cray
Wouldn’t make a difference. Most of us have been shouting on street corners since his nomination the first time. Hasn’t changed a thing.
I’d go back to June 14, 1946, and pay a visit to Jamaica Hospital in the New York City borough of Queens.
I want to go back because any time period in last 50 years is better than this one
Oh I doubt that would of made a difference I have been warning about this for many years and the greedy and selfish still deceived people with their evil philosophy.
And enjoyed a long vacation wearing a jacket with long sleeves that did up in the back.
If there’s going to be a fight at the WH next 4th of July, I want to see the Pope kick Trump’s ass with priests and sisters in attendance. They can belt the congress and senators, and free us and the immigrants from this nonsense.
That would get you into a straight jacket right away. I would never ever EVER have thought that this country of yours would elect the same circus clown twice as their leader. My condolences.
I’m with you but literally no one would listen anyway. Half of them don’t even listen now.
I’d go back 79 years and tell Mary to swallow.
They would turn it into a reality tv show
They would but you in a psych ward.
That first one isn’t bad but god if we could stop that second one that would be great
A concentration camp for criminals is just called a prison fortunately
I want to go back 79 years and 9 months to give Fred Trump a condom!
Or you could just hold up a sign saying “THE END IS NEAR!”
And take out the apprentice guy?
and back then no one would have believed any of it, instead they would come for you with a net and straight jacket
And once he's President he'll fill his cabinet w/Fox TV Hosts...Felons...Alcoholics...former drug addicts for the Dept of Health...Wrestling CEO's for Education.... Let's see how quickly that gets ya thrown in for a psych evaluation.
They will think you're crazy !
The Simpsons covered almost all of this.
They would have put you in the “looney bin”
They would straight jacket you.
They would have locked you up in the Nut House. Ohhh wait, they are all gone. Maybe go back 40 years.
Nevermind that, take it back to the day he was conceived and slap his mother.
Could get you free housing...
Go back further and get his dad a vasectomy
I would go back and do something completely different but along the same lines lol
Right on! I would go back to 9/11 and tell 'em all... "You think this is bad? You ain't seen nothin' yet!" 😱
They will call you crazy and say that will never happen.
I remember that guy yelling that! I see this as proof you will invent that time machine!
Okay but seriously when do when get Lisa Simpson as president, as has been foretold?
Even The Simpson’s didn’t get that last bit.
No one would believe you. They'd think you were nuts! Who ever imagined we'd have a felon as president, a congress pledging their allegiance to the president, as well as an unbalanced supreme court and no regard for the Constitution!
I've been watching the Boomers for a long time and none of this is that surprising. They've been dismantling the middle-class for their children and grandchildren for a long long time.
And they would lock your ass up, LOL...🤣 We are living in The Twilight Zone.
Some years from now, people will start the "If you had a time machine to go back to when the Tangerine Twatwaffle was born... Would you?"
They’d lock you in a psych ward. No one would believe our nation would ever be stupid enough to get where we are at right now in politics. 🤷♀️
No one would have believed you.
Just go back 20 years and neutralize the threat.
Thanks I need a good chuckle!
To the looney bin with you!
That proves that time travel really isn’t possible as that would have happened!
But you'd be seen in the same way as Frank Zappa was when he tried to warn of the evils of unfettered capitalism.
There probably was some time traveler doing just that & we just walked right past the “crazy person.” We should be thanking them for knocking the murder hornets off the front page and that C-19 isn’t as bad as Stephen King’s The Stand. I know they tried…
So if anyone walks past someone screaming on the corner about Bird Flu, might want to stop and take a listen…
When Trump first ran in 2016 I laughed and thought it was impossible. I had no idea the majority of white people were that far gone. Scary thing is, they've gotten worse.
I remember in 2016 wishing that there were an alternate universe where all his supporters could see what horrors they had voted for. I should have specified that I did not want to join them in it.
So this is your fault!
So sorry!
You’d be locked away by lunch.
Then we would never have known you. They would have taken you away to a quiet place... It's that nuts. NO ONE would believe you! Well, maybe the Pope...
I do find it disturbing that people have just ignored that the new Pope was instrumental in covering up roughly 2000 child sex crimes committed by clergy over decades in the Chicago area. It’s as if being a monster is required for the job.
They’d think you were stark raving mad! Or on a serious high Yet, here we are
Back To The Future and Doc Brown when hearing a man named Ronald Reagan is president in Marty's future. "Ronald Reagan, the actor!?"
They would lock you up
And Bob Dylan wins the Nobel Prize!
They’d lock you up, bro. Nobody’s believe it.
it's absolutely astonishing that that's where we are.
You’re gonna need a flux capacitor and a delorean. Bring an iPhone cause no one gonna believe you.
If your dream is to be checked into the phych ward you don't have to go back 20yrs, just do it.
I want that too but only so I can visit every bookie in town.
👍👍👍
@iceqwn.bsky.social mistakingly said #Alligator Alcatraitor this morning but it fits for all the #AlcaTraitors #steveIrwin
Speaking those truths today still results in so many oblivious and unaware individuals thinking you are equally as insane now as you would've sounded back then.
I’d feed the brain worms and sabotage the Trump Princess.
Really? I would force Fred Trump to have a vasectomy.
Yes!
Torsion until ball death and then sepsis plz.
Laughing 😃 😄 🤣
You'll need to go back further than that. The Pre-Maga back then would've loved to put Clinton in an Alligator-surrounded Concentration Camp and W Bush would've said "Mission Accomplished."
They'd have locked you up for sure!
Just before you are carted away to the loonies bin...
Not if it was NYC, they always had kooks on the corners by train stations. The end is near, wanna buy a watch?
Even saying it now sounds wild and I can’t believe we are here. Imagine how crazy this would have sounded in 2005 if alarms started going off 😳 What have we become?
Right! 😳 Try and float that script in Hollywood and you'd be wearing a white belted shirt with 120" sleeves... 🤣
That won’t be enough. Bring friends.
Back to the Bad played a little with this scenario. But went all the way back to the source. youtu.be/ja8jpf6Fqq4?...
Ehhhh, I'd recommend a little further back in time.
Have we checked to see if the Simpsons haven’t already predicted all this? Because that totally reads like a Simpsons script.
You can also thrown in “black guy from Chicago becomes president” and that along with the pope thing would short circuit at least 30 million people
