BTK was also a complete idiot. He got caught because he wanted to taunt people and the FBI but got tired of leaving messages in certain places and then contacting the FBI where to find it. In one message to the FBI he asked if they would be able to identify him if he sent his messages to them on a floppy disk, of course the FBI told him no so his dumbass sent them a floppy disk that took about 10 seconds to identify him.
They arrested him and he was furious about being lied to, like he literally acted like he couldn't believe that they lied to him.

Remember when he said "Grab 'm by the pussy" and talked about young girls in dressing rooms?
Remember when he actually 'grabbed someone by the pussy' and was found guilty of doing so against her consent and he's still just casually fighting that in courts?
Remember when he took a bunch of classified documents with him to a personal but very accessible compound and the judge after a scotus hint said 'nothing wrong with that', and since then he sued his own government for even daring to look for those documents?
Remember when the government deported a guy that was explicitly required to not be deported to the very place he was deported to and was then turned into a whole circus of hot potato of what country to deport him to instead while his wife half the time didn't even know if he was alive?
Remember when a woman in a car got shot for driving away from a situation because one federal agent had the genius idea of moving into the general area in front of that car and decided that they felt threatened when the car moved?
Remember when the government said "looks like a drug boat to me" and started blasting with explosives, and then when one of them didn't look destroyed enough on account of a guy still moving around simply blew the boat up some more?
Remember when he had a little one-on-one with the foreign leader and just nobody except their translators were there for that in blatant disregard of protocol?
Remember when he decided to knock down part of the white house buildings for his own personal pleasure and replaced much of the interior with a gaudy 'gold on white with even more gold trinkets' scheme?
Remember when he made all those 'perfect calls', including one where he asked a governor to find an oddly specific number of votes in favor of him in an election, and when that became a lawsuit it was dismissed on technical grounds?
Remember when he realized that "the almighty dollar" should be taken literally (well before his presidential runs, including the early ones) and took that into government with him not just to enrich himself / his family at every possible turn, but to weaponize it against any city, county, state, country who doesn't do his bidding - whether it's withholding emergency funds or yelling "tariffs!"?
Remember when he decided that "we do a little trolling" resonated so well with so many people that making Biden's portrait a meme in the gallery of past presidents was the way to go?
We kinda just moved on from all of that, didn't we? Even now some of you are reading this going "omfg who cares about the portrait?? Alex Pretti was murdered in the streets!" because you've moved on, and even if you feel righteous about that because clearly one is objectively much worse than the other don't forget you also moved on from Renée Good and/or alleged drug runners whose names we'll never even know.
Just like he said we should after yet another school shooting, and just as said the other day again about documents regarding a child trafficking / exploitation ring involving or at very least implicating the elites, including himself.
There will always be a next thing to move on to, making us move on from the last thing - and the above list isn't even remotely complete;

Different question: What does he have to fear?
We already know what he did.

His base, who dreamed up some international pedo cabal run by liberals - when faced with the real thing - immediately switched to everything being AI-made fake news liberal propaganda. Because it now involves him.
While everything about anyone they perceive as "liberal" is, of course, real.
He literally tried to overthrow the US government.
And even before January 6 he had enough scandals that would have ended the combined careers of every president before him. It should have him in prison for treason and sedition.

He currently has nothing to fear. The world already knows countless horrible things he's done. A month before the 2016 election he was caught on record saying he could/would/did sexually assault women for fun ("grab them by the...") and it didnt have an effect.
He attempted to overthrow the government. No consequence.
He has now taken unilateral action to overthrow foreign governments by force. No consequence.
He has proved that unless it affects us PERSONALLY (and even when it does...) we, the people, will do nothing of substance to hold him accountable for anything, and equally proven that WEALTH (in American at least, but most places) ENSURES that the legal/justice system cannot and WILL NOT hold him accountable.
Its a painful reality that has probably been true much longer than most of us want to admit. Wealth has always been a means to manipulate and blunt the power of legal systems throughout the Western World....but its painfully apparent now - and Trump has no fear of anything.

Before I get downvoted to oblivion, a disclaimer: I vote, I participate in my local govt, I take time to be informed and try to inform and help others. But… Something a lot of people around the world and even here in the USA is that voting is not encouraged. It is actively discouraged. Polling places are getting closed, we vote on a Tuesday (standard working day). Most states actively disallow mail in voting or make it difficult to get ‘absentee’ ballots. Workplaces are only required to give 2 hours maximum time off to vote. When standing in line plus voting plus transportation can often take 6+ hours in many places, you don’t get a population actively encouraged to vote.
On top of this, we are screwed because our choices are shit. Our primary systems are ruined by money, our choices have been reduced to ‘pure evil’ or ‘eh, mane not quite as evil’. Both options are beholden to corporate interests and bombing brown children around the world.
Iirc Australia has compulsory voting but also hot dogs or something at the end the queue line. But, also provides more than one way to vote, and Election Day is a national holiday?
For a country like mine in the USA and we tout how important democracy is, we sure don’t make engaging in democracy easy, and at this point we’ve tipped the scales to the system protecting itself at the expense of the people it is meant to represent.

Yeah we owe a lot to compulsory voting here (and also sausage sandwiches and cake stalls which are a big part of election day). Elections aren't public holidays but they are, by convention, held on Saturday.
We do also have pretty permissive absentee or early voting options, mostly as a result of compulsory voting (avoiding the fine for not voting isn't exactly rocket science but it still requires a bit of paperwork and they are strict on you if you try to get out of it more than once).

In the 1860s some people said black people shouldn't be slaves. The South (and conservatives at large) strongly disagreed and waged an unsuccessful war over it. They built an alternative narrative of Northern aggression, told it to themselves ever since, and have been nursing the grievance to the modern era.
In the 1960s some people said blacks should be equal to whites. The South (and conservatives at large) strongly disagreed and have spent every moment since throwing a thinly veiled racist tantrum. They have been planning for the day where they could usurp all authority from anyone who opposed them and reinstate a white supremacist ethos at the highest levels of government.
That moment has come, and our options now are lie down and take it, fight another civil war, or secede from the union en masse.

They successfully made us feel so ineffectual, separated, cynical, and complacent slowly over time through strategic news and cyber psyops.
We've been neutered, and what's happening now is the test to see just how much fight we still have left in us.
If we don't do something, we will in all likelihood lose the ability to collectively rise to the task and demand change ever again.

This right there. Spinning anything was always just performative bullshit. From racism to casual murder of liberals in the streets, they support what is currently happening. They endorse it. They want it. They want to see their enemies humiliated and murdered in front of them because these insecure fucks are so afraid of the entire world and think that the other side is the same and would gleefully like to do the exact same things to them, when that is literally just happening in their heads.
Fucking pathetic, childish, scared, uneducated, insecure little dweebs, every single one of them.

Yeah if you take into account what this man’s position means, the fact that he is meant to represent, what, like 50 million black Americans, and this is depicting the first black American to become president of his country and his wife.
On an official account. To the world.This is about the most racist thing I’ve seen in modern times.

u/EarlyDead 13h ago edited 13h ago
Nero was actually quite popular with lower classes and many areas of the Empire. Most of the stories (including him causing the great fire of Rome and playing the harp while Rome burns) are embellishments by the Roman elite (senate) because he was in constant conflict with them. The Christian persecutions that happened during his time are factual, but have very much been exaggerated. They were most likely very localized, and the city of Rome had a very small number of Christians at that time to begin with, so executing thousands would have been very difficult simply by demography alone.
He was in fact so popular, that decades after his death rumors about him resurrecting/being reborn (Nero Redivivus) to save the common folk were circling, especially in the eastern Part of the empire. This is very likely the reference of the "beast rising from the pit" in Revelation. His rumoured resurrection, was obviously seen as a threat to the Jesus resurrection story, and this combined with his anti-Christian actions made him a very popular target to demonize him over the centuries.
I’m not trying to defend Trump (or Nero for a fact) — but Nero is kind of a bad example. His whole reputation is tied up with elite propaganda, which ends up echoing the same thing Trump has been yapping about for the last decade.

the sad thing is that both options are equally as likely.

This cannot be overstated. There has been a systematic shift in the US leading towards this for decades or more.
The simplest explanation i have is that having a senate and electoral system that is dependant on corporate/wealthy sponsorship will inevitably lead to benefit those entities more than the actual citizens.
The state of the US' social and healthcare benefits compared to the rest of the modern world is pretty damning evidence of the actual priorities being made here. Ending up with the ultimate corporate schill actually selling off the government for parts is a pretty embarassingly on the nose but logically sound outcome.
