This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump bizarrely claimed that if he loses Pennsylvania, “they” will change the state’s name.
Trump made the claim in a speech to thousands of members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Friday night.

In recent years, there have been moves across the United States to address the country’s racist past by renaming places named after controversial historical figures, particularly those with ties to slavery and the Confederacy.
“I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,” he said.
President Joe Biden was born in Pennsylvania and won the state against Trump in the 2020 election.
The original article contains 343 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
What did William Penn do to Trump?
“I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,” he said.
You know what’s ridiculous about this? His followers will agree without noticing that Biden and Obama and Clinton didn’t take their precious guns away.
Know what else is ridiculous about it? The Trump administration banned bump stocks in December 2018. Not Congress, the ATF did it. Under Trump.
Biggest federal gun control move since Clinton’s assault rifle ban which was done through legislation.
Not the bump stocks though, Trump took those from the ammosexuals and you don’t hear shit about it anymore.
And trump banned bump stocks
But muh guns! Day cummins for muh guns!
Right? They have been “coming for your guns” my entire 46 years. That’s one long-term plan they’ve got there!
This guy rambles like an old man who’s read too much Facebook.
Truth social, Facebook’s meth head relative nobody likes to talk about
Facebook just recommended some idiot claiming Taylor Swift is a dude. I don’t even want to imagine what’s happening over at truth.
He’s just telegraphing that she is okay to kill.
They started at pedophiles, because functionally nobody will defend them, even as people openly advocate their murder.
They’d like to be able to use the same rhetoric with the LGBT community, but they’d lose all their plausible deniabilty. So instead, everyone on their list of undesirables is suddenly a pedophile and therefore okay to kill. It’s why suddenly drag queens, teachers, Biden and anyone else they don’t like is somehow a “groomer”, even as their own ranks get arrested for fucking kids.
This is just another step on the same path. Taylor Swift is a threat to Trump so now she is secretly trans and all her young fans have been groomed.
And somewhere out there is a Republican-voting, unmedicated schizophrenic conspiracy theorist with an AR-15 who knows exactly what to do with a groomer.
Instead he’s the old man rambling and influencing facebook.
The evil libs are gonna rename it Pedovania and kick out all the straight white christians and turn the state into an adrenochrome harvesting child sex facility!
and because we live in a post-poe world, I have to emphasize, emphatically, that this is sarcasm.
I heard the poll result was Statey McStateface
“I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,”
Trump banned bump stocks, which laid the basis for the pistol brace ban, both of which conservative 2a meisters absolutely love, right? And this was at a NRA conference? I don’t get how people know he did that and hate him for it, but will immediately forget their hatred in order to defend him on any other ground. MAGA is a cult.
He was worse for guns than Biden. How the fuck do these people reconcile this shit with their beliefs?
R beside name = good D beside name = bad
I think they write it on the back of their hand just in case too
“HEYY! That’s a blatant foul! Doesn’t the umpire see this? Is he blind?! Wait- what did you say? That’s one of ours? WOOOO GOO TEAM, NO FOUL, USA USA USA!”
The state of politics since ca 300 BCE. Now with nukes!
Being a member of the pro-gun community already requires living in a fantasy. A few more lies and hollow promises shouldn’t be a problem for them.
Turnip: “KJMBNFLDKSJBLAAAARGHHHHH”
News: “60% of Americans now in support of Trumps statement that KJMBNFLDKSJBLAAAARGHHHHH. And this news channel agrees. This is Kent Brockman, Channel 6, signing off, with a KJMBNFLDKSJBLAAAARGHHHHH you, Biden.”
You’re joking, but the covfefe thing was almost more ridiculous, given they pretended it was intentional and claimed that an inside group knew exactly what he meant.
Like, how can you even combat that level of stupidity? You’d need crocodiles to get through to them.
A cult of people with two brain cells fighting for third place.
That’s John Oliver level funny. You should def pitch that to his team if it’s original.
“Hello, Mr. Oliver? A man on Lemmy told me I was born to be a star…”
Gotcha. Definitely not original.
It’s not about the issues. It’s about cheering for your team.
He also has said:
Take the guns first, go through due process second
So yeah…
“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Pres Trump, Feb 2018
Penn was a slave owner but among plutocrats in the 1600s he’s about as good as it gets. He treated native Americans well (and to whatever extent you want to credit it, he treated his slaves better than most) and liked democracy and religious freedom.
So if you want to credit the morsel of an idea here, he is probably trying to say that even though Penn was an OK guy relative to the times, he could get “cancelled” because he was a slave owner and then “they” would force the state to change its name because Penn was canceled.
But obviously, half muttering nonsense that can be interpreted favorably by anyone with whatever beliefs if they so choose is Trump’s super power so I’m all for reading this uncharitably and just saying he’s being weird and crazy.
They’ll make it the commonpoverty of Pennsylvania!
Kinda feels like he heard someone make this joke and then tried to steal it without understanding which part was the joke.
My wife actually brought up a good point: he might have heard about the push to rename Columbus Ohio, which is both a real left wing position and also something unlikely to happen anytime remotely soon despite the actual city generally being far less comfortable with its name than any other major city in the country to my knowledge and often emphasizing it. But yeah not happening no matter how much we’d rather call it flavortown or Hiawatha or fucking Ohio City even
They’re going to change the name to Wokesylvania and you’ll have to be a gay trans to live there. Look it up.
Checks out. I looked it up.
VOTE FOR ME OR THE LIBERAL MEDIA GIVES YOUR SON A FUCKING STUFFED SHARK AND KNEE HIGH SOCKS
Just my son? What about me?
You are too old to be corrupted
I’VE GOT A BOX FULL OF PINK WHITE AND BLUE KNEE HIGHS HERE, AND THIS GROUP OF ELECTORS OF A DUBIOUS ORIGIN. WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE?
Whoa whoa whoa, lets all calm down now. No need to do anything rash.
Alright then, let’s talk bidness. Are you going to vote for the old man and the sea, or a sentient piece of stupid cheddar?
Transylvania was right there man
Pee-pee is removed, it is now Vaggsylvania
Damn it.
I hear it will be turned in to a monarchy and they will crown Taylor Swift Queen for single handedly helping Biden solidify the win in this election.
They’re gonna make us microdose edibles every morning. To make matters worse there’ll be a taco truck on every corner.
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
Awesome!
I am a straight trans gal, is there space for me?
NO!
You MUST be GAY.
😢
Sorry, lady. If you wanted to be trans and stay in
PennsylvaniaWokesylvania, you should have thought about it first and gotten a girlfriend. Now get into Ohio!How dare you damn someone to Ohio. Bah gawd, that lady’s got a family!
Wokesylvania will not tolerate the evil non-gay! Except child, of course. How can the Gay Agenda be enacted otherwise? Children must be corrupted into gayness by drag queen story hours.
Fuck, our dastardly plan is being foretold far too early for this part of the movie! Science damnit!
C’mon man, Transylvania is right there
Transylgaynia
Even better.
It’s bad form to name a place after another place.
Kicks New York, New Hampshire, and New Mexico under the rug
That’s why I am happy I live in Springfield.
Fucking typical, everyone forgets about New Jersey …
Damn, I was really hoping for Trumpgofuckyourselfania.
No, no we won’t.
Oh no, he found out about the Transsylvania plans. But I assume Wokesconsin, Gaybraska and Lesbiana are still a go?
Transsylvania
That’s actually genius lmao
There will still be the schism between liberals and conservatives. The western half still get all goth, wear fangs, and have blood ceremonies, as Bram Stoker intended and rural families have practiced through the years. Meanwhile the damned woke eastern half will be all crossdressing, and surgical mutilation on a whim, “girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world …” and engaging in all sorts of unnatural Kinks
I wonder what Cissylvania looks like
Anyone who has driven between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia can tell you.
I never actually thought about changing the names of any states (why?!) but I kinda like how these sound
Top Dakota and Bottom Dakota
Hasn’t he already lost it? Like he’s totally lost his mind.
Me thinks this man has a few bats in his belfry… a few sandwiches short of a picnic… his elevator doesn’t go to the top … not playing with a full deck
You get the idea.
A couple tacos short of an enchilada plate. All foam, no beer.
Has the NRA already forgotten this? https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/
long time ago, so has the rest of the cult.
just referring to pennsylvania as a ‘state’ instead of a ‘commonwealth’ is gonna lose it for ya, dinglebutt.
This! Someone probably told him that it was the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and not to use the word state, and he went off on them and thought they were a liberal plant.
Commonwealth?
Sounds Marxist.
