I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it.

Trump may be a very poor candidate, but he didn’t kill 13 million people.

1: Yet.

2: That isn’t even the sum of the Holocaust, much less combat casualties from the USSR alone which are absolutely on his head.

Edit: Tbf, the Holocaust numbers only beat that if you include Soviet POWs being genocided in the prison camps, so that is kind of double dipping.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
