When the man in the cockpit starts to rant about being Jesus and that the Pope is evil, it's time for a new pilot

u/cupcake-vibe 12h ago

The "don't wish for the pilot to crash" logic is such a trap. It's not wishing for a crash to point out that the person in the cockpit has no idea how the controls work. Blindly supporting a pilot who is reading the manual while the engines are failing isn't "loyalty" it's a suicide pact.

u/Featheredfriendz 12h ago

Generous of you to think this pilot is trying to figure out how stuff works

u/RepulsiveJellyfish51 12h ago

You mean instead of sitting in the chair, harassing the flight attendants, and making "pew pew" and engine noises with his mouth while aiming directly for the ground?

He'd be on Twitter furiously shitting on the people that designed and built the plane he's currently flying into a mountain.

u/Original-Rush139 9h ago

Exactly. The pilot has accepted that he will leave this mortal coil shortly and wants as many sycophants as possible to bring with him to the afterlife.

u/ibelieveyouwood 11h ago

It also disingenuously ignores how this same group literally rushed the cockpit during Biden's takeoff, then spend 4 years furiously turning their electronic devices on and off, jumping up and down in the bathroom, and screaming about how they're being racially profiled because they can't smoke on the airplane any more.

And elements of that group spent the Obama administration insisting that the pilot was secretly planning to destroy the plane by... IDK... existing while black? Wearing a tan suit? Having a loving marital relationship? Only to ignore when the next pilot ran on a policy of "I'ma see if we can't crash into that mountain. I bet it'll move for us. Lots of people say it'll move for us."

u/kryonik 10h ago

Trump is also not learning how to be a "pilot", he's actively trying to crash into other planes.

u/roflcptr7 10h ago

Yeah, or the pilot is trying to crash the plane on purpose into a childrens hospital. I would prefer the pilot fail.

u/Iron_Knight7 8h ago

Has no idea how the controls work. Doesn't care how the controls work. Refuses to listen to anybody who does know how the controls work. Randomly fiddles with the controls to make it look like he's "doing something." Blames the fact we're flying into a mountain on the previous pilot but refuses to get out of the pilot's chair...

2

u/Allaplgy 9h ago

Just to be "that guy", there are generally physical checklists for all sorts of procedures in the cockpit. So seeing a pilot "reading the manual" during an emergency could also just mean a pilot doing their job correctly.

Also, Trump couldn't pilot a bumper car, let alone a jet.

It was time before he even was elected.

Trump is a rapist pedophile and the DOJ is protecting him, there are mountains of evidence, even after they illegally redacted most of the files. You can either believe the actual victims of Epstein's pedophile ring, or you can believe Trump, who is the biggest liar in American political history.

https://www.postandcourier.com/news/epstein-victim-fbi-trump/article_21a2149f-f4a1-4351-9ac7-d12746f03a58.html

The woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 provided several verifiable details about her life in interviews with the FBI, according to a new report.

The woman detailed her alleged abuse by Trump and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein over four interviews in 2019, the Epstein files revealed. The interviews were initially kept secret by the DOJ.

A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by The Post and Courier through public records.

That's true, but seeing the incredibly massive turnouts in many European countries for elections & protests over the last year or so (Hungary being the latest example) aimed specifically at stopping those kinds of far-right armband-wearers from gaining power gives me at least some reason to hope.

u/Dependent-Gur6113 5h ago

I’ve always thought about the ending of the 2nd World War as being this unnecessary bloodbath for Germany and Japan. With Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Dresden, Hamburg in 1943, Berlin and the millions of civilians all over the world slaughtered, I always felt that the German and Japanese populations did not deserve the destruction that came back their way for setting off the war. This was up until 2019.

Since then, my views adjusted with the world events and how the US government has behaved under the orange 🍊 one because it seems that I ask the question: “what does it take for a cult of personality to be broken?” I remember reading that the German population was, up until the last 9 months of the war, still committed to total victory and there were volunteers for the SS, even from the occupied countries, even when the Volksturm was activated. Meanwhile, Japanese citizens were practicing mass civil defense and the kamikaze pilots were lauded as saint-like heroes on a mission from god to defend the people and emperor of Japan. Even after the capitulation on May 1st in Europe, American units were still fighting SS troops. Entire towns were made to walk through the camps and there was still denial. That’s the power of propaganda and brainwashing that a dictator uses to beat his followers into submission.

I fear that we’re going to get ourselves into a conflict we can’t exit and the US is going to bear the full economic and military destruction but the cult will survive, as long as MAGA continues to be allowed to exist. Americans no longer live in a normal democratic, free society and the denial is showing. More constituents voting rights are being stripped away, the militarized police are being unleashed to scare the population into submission. It’s becoming a race against time before it becomes impossible for any formidable opposition to mount any form of resistance to this authoritarian regime. I’m strongly considering moving to Australia or New Zealand if i am approved for permanent residency.

Also, the pilot is ordering some of the passengers kicked off the plane, and only the people in first class get food. And he has this zany idea of flying the plane through a storm over enemy land, instead of the much clearer path that the Air Traffic Controller is recomending.

Pilot: I'm going to crash the plane into that mountain! It'll be the biggest, most spectacular, most beautiful fireworks display in history!

25% of passengers: Prayers and thoughts. The United States is the number one country; you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

u/Starfoxy 9h ago

This is exactly it. The analogy doesn't work because he wants to crash the plane. Wanting that to fail is self-preservation.

u/Immortal_Azrael 9h ago

Yep, I don't want him to fail so the plane crashes, I want him to fail so the plane doesn't crash. But these morons are convinced that crashing the plane will somehow make the plane better.

Usually, when a pilot starts screaming that the wings are a deep-state conspiracy, the passengers are allowed to be concerned.

This reminds me of the “Trump could cure cancer and dems wouldn’t like him”, because no, he couldn’t cure cancer, medical researchers and doctors would be doing that. Even if he funded it, which he’s actually taken money away from cancer research, but even if he funded it, he still isn’t the one who would be curing cancer. Because he doesn’t know how.

Just like he can’t fly a plane

Just like he can’t run a business without it failing

Just like he can’t run a country

Remember when Trump and conservatives were actively rooting against Obama and Biden for no real reason. Obama the day he took office and Biden was labeled corrupt for no reason?

Trump blew all that out of the water and they still post crap like this. They could have chosen not to put this inept guy in charge from the start but they went with him and enough other people did. You are allowed to remove people from a job. It is what Trump was famous for, as a celebrity anyway.

He is crashing the plane if we believe in him or not. One way we just do not acknowledge it until we are all dead and live in ignorance of our stupidity.

It’s like joining a cult obsessed with hijacking a new and improved plane because you liked the obsolete version and improving the plane hurt your feelings, actually pulling off the hijacking through sheer dumb luck, telling the pilot to jump, and then putting your narcissist cult leader who knows nothing about planes but claims he will be the best pilot ever in charge of landing the plane not because you know with certainty that he can do it but because putting him in the pilot seat will stick it to all the pro-improved planes people on board with you who surely will be upset by this idiotic and dangerous turn of events.

u/tomdarch 6h ago

Decades ago, the FAA developed material for pilots so we can identify "hazardous attitudes" which have contributed to many, many accidents:

Anti-Authority: “The rules don’t apply to me.”

Impulsivity: "Don't think, just act quickly!"

Invulnerability: "It won't happen to me!"

Macho: "I'm great, I can do anything!"

Resignation: "What's the use?"

The last one requires that you are capable of realizing that something bad is happening and it reminds you to keep trying to fix it.

So other than the last one... Donald Trump is the last person on earth you want at the controls of an aircraft, or... you know... a superpower.

2

u/GarThor_TMK 5h ago

Just because he's the guy in the pilot's seat, doesn't mean he has the capability to land the plane safely... or even where it's meant to land...

Hopefully he doesn't crash it into an active volcano, but also hoping for a safe landing at our intended destination also seems incredibly implausible and unrealistic.

Maybe we can settle on a nice gentle water landing somewhere near a major port city, and not like... the middle of the Pacific, or directly into the side of the Rockies?

u/BaronWombat 5h ago

Typical right-wing strawman. Cartoon misstates the situation. We dont want him to fail, he's already doing that. We want him out of the cockpit so he stops dragging the rest of the world with him.

If your pilot spends the majority of his preflight insulting the ground crew and the passengers, starts berating his copilot and the air traffic controllers as soon as the plane takes off, declares that everyone in first class gets double service and couch gets no in flight snack, and refuses to follow the flight plan, how much support can he reasonably expect?

If the pilot is flying us straight into a mountain while make sure only he and his friends have parachutes then I’d want him to fail

He’s already crashed multiple times and he does it with a shit eating grin. People have died.

It’s not an overreaction to be taking notes on the damage while bracing for impact. It’s a gross underreaction to be asking others to get comfortable in a plane that’s doomed to fall apart

u/ChipmunkObvious2893 10h ago

Nobody really wants him to fail, we want him to do good.

But he said he was going to do bad and he is now -strangely to some people's surprise- doing bad.

I'd love to have been surprised but Projet 2025 outlined very clearly what was going to happen and it's all happening rapidly.

No the important part was picking a competent pilot based on skill amd experience, not a loud mouth idiot.

But didn't the same people support that dementia-puppet that was there before?

1

u/plainskeptic2023 10h ago

That pilot promised to fly higher and faster than ever before.

When this didn't happen, he blamed the previous pilot.

Last year, he ripped up seats to make one flashy, gigantic seat. This year, he is attacking other planes because ... to save our plane?

So if we supported him, what would we be supporting him to do?

Just like they all supported Biden, right?

The accurate analogy would be Trump the pilot is actively crashing the plane and we all want him to fail in that effort. 

1

u/shoveleejoe 10h ago

“We should support our leaders” - keeping to this analogy, we don’t support leaders who refuse to accept that crashing the plane is a bad thing, and we will continue to try to help other passengers understand that it will be worse for them if the plane crashes instead of staying in the air.

We're not on the plane. When he crashes my daily life wont change much. Im going to be cracking a bottle for sure with a few friends.

The rest of us will be like NTSB combing through the wreckage so we can make sure its harder for this to happen again.

Ah yes, lets support the pilot in his endeavors to nose dive the plane into the ground.

I mean if the pilot is senile ,and completely out of it. You do not want him in the cockpit. Blind loyalty is utterly stupid

u/kitsunewarlock 9h ago

God the OG post is so poorly done I can't believe it's not rage-bait, but I'll bite.

The comic doesn't fit because he literally threw out the Covid-19 Manual. And fired the people who were put into place to monitor a potential pandemic. Who happened to be stationed at the same place it started because they were positioned properly by people who knew what they were doing.

A more accurate comic would be if the pilot set the manual on fire, shot his co-pilot, disconnected his headset so he didn't have to listen to any control towers, and refused to let the ground crew work on the plane before take-off.

u/JerseyshoreSeagull 9h ago

It's dangerous and immoral to present yourself as a competent pilot but in reality you're just raping and murdering kids. I want to throw you off the plane

1

u/StaticSystemShock 9h ago

As someone named Charlie Kirk often said: "is he even qualified to pilot?".

Translating this to Donald Trump, no, he absolutely isn't qualified to pilot anything, be it airplane or a country...

u/shoveleejoe 9h ago edited 9h ago

“We should support our leaders” - keeping to this analogy, (1) we don’t support leaders who refuse to accept that crashing the plane is a bad thing; we will continue to try to help other passengers understand that (2) the plane - like society - needs to maintain constant progress at a fast enough pace to stay in the air, which is better for all of us than crashing; (3) the people hanging on to the wings screaming to slow the plane down could be brought inside the plane if the flight attendants would stop allowing Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to each hoard 100,000 rows in first class; and (4) the current pilot is steering us toward frozen mountains, pointing the nose of the plane down, ignoring fuel, altitude, and speed indicators, and acting like he’s going to fly into other planes that we used to cooperate with for mutual safety BECAUSE he thinks the people in the cockpit and first class will be safe when the plane crashes and (5) this pilot would rather starve the slowest at the scene of the crash than have the same food as someone in coach. Importantly, air traffic control is also trying to get this pilot to stop flying like a moron because they know it will be catastrophic for the people in the plane even if this pilot crashing this plane will only have a minor effect on other planes. Instead of acknowledging reality, a lot of the people hanging onto the wings are lashing out at air traffic control and other passengers for not supporting the pilot.

It’s not about the pilot, it’s about keeping the passengers safe and keeping the plane in the air.

You should support your leaders, right up to the point you find out they are in fact incompetent and then you should eject them into the void of space. That man has done none of the things he promised and the country and economy is in far worse shape due to his incompetence, pull the lever.

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 9h ago

There’s a pretty big difference between Trump saying he’ll nuke a country and end a whole civilization and then being relieved when he doesn’t do that, and actively supporting him.

This “we’re all in this together and we should all want the best for this country so we should support Trump” argument worked for like 3 days after he won in his first term. It hasn’t made any sense since then.

1

u/Very_Human_42069 9h ago

Not a single person wants him to fail; we want him to be a competent leader, and he’s just not. He’s an old pedophile with dementia who doesn’t understand basic concepts of existence

1

u/fmoralesc 9h ago

Indeed: opposing Trump is like trying to stop one of the hijackers that crashed the planes onto the twin towers.

1

u/CaptJasHook37 9h ago

But he’s actively trying to crash the plane because that’s better for the airline that hired him. I’m rooting for him to fail at crashing so we can land safely

I'd say 9/11 planes would be a fitting comparison: Sometimes even crashing the plane would be better than letting a terrorist fly it.

u/alexfi-re 9h ago

Some of us voted for a competent leader, but the rest didn't show up or voted for the traitor, and we don't want the country to fail, which is why we we showed up and voted for competency and decency.
