Fuck this. No. This is so much of what's wrong with this fucking country.
No. Let's not reinforce prisons as torture camps. For fuck's sake.

Americans really have just normalised and relish terrible things happening to people in prison huh? Social programming is one hell of a drug
Facists need ro be delt with extra harshly imo. The scope of their crimes is just to great otherwise
So... you're endorsing rape as a punishment, but only if we're like, super duper sure they're fascists? Is that what you mean by "extra harshly"?
The "If Criminal, then Bad Person" and the "If Bad Person, then any Bad Thing OK" combo are pervasive in America, across the political spectrum, and have been for a while. At least since the War on Drugs started, and almost certainly well before that. It is frightening to have a conversation with a seemingly well-meaning, moral person and have them casually joke about prisoners being tortured, raped, or killed. I don't think it's an attitude unique to America but I think the private prison industry has had a lot to do with how incredibly common the attitude is that, if someone is in prison, they must have done something wrong, and if they did something wrong, any bad thing that happens to them (forced labor, starvation, sexual assault, death) is deserved punishment. It's ghastly.
As long as it is someone we don't like, then yes.
You really think rape should be tolerated and used as a punishment? That's a serious thought in your brain?
Or that extrajudicial punishment should exist.
What's the point of the justice system if people just take things into their own hands? The whole point of it is to make sure that the punishment fits the crime, and that the person being punished is actually guilty.
I like it because it's clever. It's still kinda boomer humor about prison rape but No Kings isn't about getting angry about something like that when we have a common enemy.
Plus who knows, Big Beautiful Bill might just be a lovely, swell fellow.
Sexual assault is funny, and rape is ok when it's happening to prisoners, clearly.
Not ok, but less bad if the victim is a petulant rapist.
No it's not. It is unacceptable in all cases. I don't understand how otherwise principled "all humans are humans and deserve rights" people are suddenly a-OK with rape or torture if it's someone they've decided is a "bad person" without realizing they're doing the exact same thing fascists do to justify human rights violations, but it's a pathological problem. If you think it's ok for you (or anyone) to decide who is allowed to have human rights and who isn't, you're an authoritarian in denial and you will fall victim to the next authoritarian leader who agrees with you about who we're allowed to torture.
Odd way of nicknaming Clinton, but who am I to judge?
Ah yes, the weird American fascination with prison rape as a form of punishment.
Drives me crazy. Shawshank Redemption is a good movie but it really did a number on the average person's perception of prison life.
How is that implied? Did I miss some text? Most people seem to agree that this is what the meme is about.
Because he's a big cell mate, and she wants something bad to happen to Trump.
Americans love their prison rape & not policing their inmates competently to enable more prison rape.
To be fair, we do put rapists in there.
We also put people who happened to have a few grams of weed in there.
Also people who commit the crime of being black near police officers.
Plot twist, BBBill is actually a decent human being who gets trump to see the error of his ways.
(Yeah, BIG fantasy. I’d win the lottery before the odds of both those things happening)
Can you imaging the psycological trauma? He is jail and so old he can hear Death sharpening his scythe in the next room, and someone makes him see, and understand, the evil he's spent his life on. I know it's a fantasy, but that sort of realization would tear apart any normal person's psyche.
Yep. Kill trump with kindness. And understanding he’s never going to be forgiven. But that’s an incredible fantasy.
Futurama Fry meme
Not sure if prison rape joke or ok
its a tough one cause it is a prison rape joke, those are obviously bad and that doesn’t change here
but i won’t lie, i kinda feel like serial rapists like trump deserve to feel what it’s like to be on the other end, for once
Hey there's a sublime song about this
I'd settle for a stroke at this point
He's already had at least one
I don’t know why people think Trump will spend 1 second in any sort of prison.
They're praying for it to happen, not saying it's a legitimate outcome.
Ah the thoughts and prayer stradegy.
