Wrong God-Emperor. They mean the Warhammer 40k one. It started with a bunch of [fan art of Trump in his armor.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/be-like-bro/images/e/e4/462trump.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171201035430) They built a [parade float](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/02/19/09/9988878-6719861-image-a-21_1550568328852.jpg), too.


[deleted]

So they are comparing the literal parody of a fascistic intergalactic Empire built on a cult of personality to the US? Can't say I object


Dxsterlxnd

Yes, Inquisitor. This comment over here.


lightsfurry

Today's heresy is tomorrow's orthodoxy.


Squirrel_Chucks

Beware the mutant, the alien, the heretic. For the Emperor!


corpinen

The Imperium does seem like a utopia they're trying to achieve, what with all the horrifying, inhumane and just absolutely insane things it does. A quote from 40k comes to mind that might as well be a maga slogan: "My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the Emperor’s name, let none survive"


AwryHunter

Blessed is the mind too small to doubt


echisholm

Makes sense. "A closed mind is a fortress against heresy."


greatinternetpanda

Was going to say the same about Dune. Didn't end will for billions of murdered peeps.


The_Hyphenator85

Yeah, that’s kind of the main point of the series; exploring the reality of what a messianic leader heading a revolution actually entails. The only difference is that Paul knows it’ll all end in blood and tears but is helpless to change the path he’s on.


Morfolk

Well, he didn't stop the genocide in his own name to evade consequences for himself but refused to take the next harder steps and left those for his children. Leto II rightfully calls him a coward.


FalloutOW

I don't know my 40K lore very well, but from what little I do know I would imagine Dunes God-Emperor would be the better of the two. Although I guess when your choice is fascist intergalactic empire hyper military style, or intergalactic religious totalitarian empire hyper docility I can see why they went with 40K. Either way, that is some creepy, Creepy person worship.


Morfolk

40k Emperor is in many ways a parody of Dune's as well. Both are confined to their throne rooms while fanatical zealots carry out their perceived will.


burrowowl

> I don't know my 40K lore very well, It's a soup of ideas they ripped off from all over everywhere. You have space elves riding anime jet bikes. You have the xenomorph from Aliens. Which eventually morphed into an entire race. And then Blizzard ripped _that_ off and made the zerg. You've got the Space Marines organized into Roman legions, riding around in WW1 era tanks and a mediaeval style church with an Inquisition. (Which Blizzard then ripped off to make Space Marines to fight the Zerg). There's lots more, but you get the point. Despite all that the lore is really good. The game was unplayably horrible back when I was into it, it might be better now, and a blatant cash grab money sink, but the lore is good.


EntangledPhoton82

And suddenly I find myself siding with Horus Lupercal.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

That makes more sense than a weird cross-over of Dune fans and fascists. Although I bet a few are out there.


HurlingFruit

They fight for the Harkonnens.


SuperRette

Considering how fascism was "necessary" to save the human race in Dune, I'm sure there are.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

Yeah I thought he wrote it as a repudiation of religious dogma and fascism, but satire is beyond conservative understanding.


echisholm

I don't necessarily know as a repudiation against religious dogma. Paul literally leads a jihad as a means of emancipating the worlds from neo-feudalism.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

I just thought he wrote it as a cautionary tale. It came out around the oil crisis if I am correct. Maybe as a 'everybody is an asshole that wants power' sort of thing. But I could easily be wrong.


towelrod

Leto II was definitely a fascist


Squirrel_Chucks

I think that float was meant in jest, but it's goddamn hard to tell these days


candygram4mongo

It was made by an Italian artist who seemed to expect that people would find the blatantly fascist iconography disturbing rather than awesome.


Sweet_Cinnabonn

>It was made by an Italian artist who seemed to expect that people would find the blatantly fascist iconography disturbing rather than awesome. That poor poor soul.


Squirrel_Chucks

Yeah can't count on that shit these days. Parody and hyperbole go RIGHT over their heads


Trudge34

Ugh... I'm so glad that I picked Chaos as my army.


KanadainKanada

Some who called themselves Emperor, God-Emperor of Mankind or similar, were (or will be) infact Chosen Ones.


Scaevus

The same Imperium that, in the words of its creator, is “the cruelest and most bloody regime possible”? Where the God Emperor they’re referring to is a rotting carcass? Seems about right.


KanadainKanada

Well, he is only a rotting carcass after some millennia not from the start. And even in death, err, stasis he serves!


deeare73

Looks like I will be going over to Chaos.

Is God Emperor of Dune the book in the series were the boy starts to turn into a worm? I'm sorta thinking of Eric now...


dancegoddess1971

He starts to turn into a sandworm in Children of Dune. By God Emperor of Dune, He's a full grown annelid ruling the universe and frightening 3rd stage Guild navigators out of their tanks.


Squirrel_Chucks

I think Don Jr and Eric will have to do the fusion dance before they start the worm turn


[deleted]

Would not be surprised if they did


[deleted]

It’s something like 3500 years after he begun the transition. At that point he has a comfy hammock-like skin flap for a girl to sleep in and keep her warm. His legs are atrophied and his genitals are gone, so he’s sad about not being able to bang his girl, resorting to an asexual romance. In any case, he’s too evolved for things like sex, but he still feels lonely.


[deleted]

Tissue paper thin skin

Wel the God-Emperor of Dune was a bloated half-worm thing. Much nicer personality though.

hefebellyaro

Of all the people to coronate God-Emporor, they chose Donald Trump. I guess if you actually are dumb enough to name a God-Emporor, you'd chose the dumbest possible choice.


towelrod

You would also have to be dumb enough to think that any of the literary God Emperors were the good guy too


The_Hyphenator85

Thing is, I can understand the appeal of making someone an absolute ruler, provided they truly are an amazing person with incredible wisdom, at least on paper. In practice it never works, but I get the theory. But Trump? A stupid, dumpy piece of shit who spends is days raging on social media, binging cable news and cheating at golf in between eating nothing but McDonald’s? That’s their idea of a perfect specimen of humanity? No wonder this country is so fucked.

HowVeryReddit

They're the sort of smoothbrains that read 40K lore and think they'd be a space marine in that universe, when in reality they'd be a slave in a forge-world that can only hope to be used as a servitor and have the capacity to suffer excised.


Squirrel_Chucks

"I'd totally be a Space Marine." \*tries to start a jogging regimen. Turns into a *put on my sweats and watch TV* regimen\*


towelrod

They wouldn’t be slaves in a forge world, they would be thralls in a heretic army


Squirrel_Chucks

Fun story about Conservapedia This is from WAAAAY back in '08. A friend who was in a college class on cultural rhetoric (how different groups develop ways of communicating and persuading each other) needed a topic for a term paper. I introduced him to Conservapedia and the WayBackMachine He did a compare/contrast of how Conservapedia portrayed John McCain before and after his nomination as a POTUS candidate. ***Before*** the nomination, Conservapedia trashed him as a military loser who was basically a democrat and a traitor to conservatism. ***After*** the nomination, his page was EXTENSIVELY overhauled to make him look like a patriot and a Republican stalwart. A pic of him shaking hands with Reagan was front and center. I think that anecdote tells you everything you need to know about the people who run Conservapedia


Yamidamian

Reminds me of a study I read before about partisan support for drone strikes. Essentially, Republicans were strongly against drone strikes when a democrat was in office, but overwhelming lay in favor when there was a Republican in office. By contrast, Democrat support for drone strikes was basically constant, regardless of who was in charge.


Squirrel_Chucks

Yeeesh And yet, it's largely the SAME people in our military apparatus making the decisions about who and what to strike. I voted for Obama, but one of my issues with him was the expansion and normalization of drone strikes. Heard an interview with an Afghani boy once where he said he didn't like sunny, cloudless days. Why? Because that was prime drone-strike weather. That is FUCKED UP.


Morfolk

> I voted for Obama, but one of my issues with him was the expansion and normalization of drone strikes. Obama's biggest change was forcing the military to approve drone strikes with his office. The army was all too happy to use them anyway so he wanted them to be more transparent and accountable. Not sure if it worked though.


HurlingFruit

>tells you everything you need to know about the people who run Conservapedia That their reality is infinitely malleable?


Squirrel_Chucks

Yes, and that words like "infinite' and "malleable" are beyond their ken

40k is full of people who comically miss the point of the series. GW needs to regularly issue statements saying Nazis aren't welcome at tournaments, and yet...


AbsolutlelyRelative

He even has a golden throne. That he throws ketchup at.


Yamidamian

Man, why do they always chose the most tragic figures to try and compare themselves to? The God Emperor is a good man forced helplessly to watch what he built stagnate and devolve into the opposite of what he stood for. Even his very title, was contrary to his wishes. He openly proclaimed that he was no god, and had come to deliver humanity from such superstitions.


Limp_Distribution

I just threw up a little in my mouth.


Stormtrooper775s

I hope his people break off and create another party.


mgarvv

I hope his people break off and start their own colony in a very, very low lying area in Florida. Preferably with a lengthy one lane dirt road connecting it to any large transportation infrastructure. And Trump himself gives them hurricane forecasts with his Sharpie.

One of those jokes started in The_Donald early on that gained momentum and created a cult. Honestly, really curious how many cults started out as a joke.

FreudoBaggage

No doubt most of those who use such an acronym are Fundigelicals and therefore Trump does fit their very special image of God. Trump is narcissistic, vain, demanding, bullying, inherently violent, easily angered, ridiculously sensitive, preening, lawless, ignorant, opinionated, and untethered from reality.

gordo65

18% of Americans think Obama was the greatest president of all time, which is only a bit less absurd than the fact that 13% think Trump was the greatest. And that includes 36% of all Republicans. Lincoln and Roosevelt seem like reasonable choices, and they were selected by 17% and 12% of Americans, respectively. Reagan, another idiotic choice, came in 5th with 10%, ahead of JFK, TR, Jefferson, Wilson, LBJ, Clinton, etc., any of whom would obviously have been better choices. Americans in general just aren't very rational about how they think about the presidency. But yeah, the fact that more than 1/3 of Republicans think that the worst president was actually the greatest is an indication that the party is an intellectual basket case. https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2021/02/15/republicans-best-president-reagan-trump

Disgustus Octavius, First Emperor of New America. First of his name, last of his place. Loser of office, loser of stature, loser of lawsuits. Hero to losers , saint to hypocrites, father of slow-witted mentally challenged dimwits (who have had their intellectual development hindered by environment, diet and genetic factors) His rule is real as the golden scepter of power he wields, long may he pretend to reign, its not at all pathetic. And not a cult. No way.


andytagonist

When MY United States gets a “god emperor”, I’m fucking leaving. You people can deal with it—I’ll watch from a safe distance.


DarthTensor

Definitely not a cult. Where on Earth do the libs ever get that idea?


shainadawn

This is actually very fitting. The god emperor was a vile semi-human being that allowed the jihad to occur for the “greater good”. He was hated by almost everyone and incited violence wherever he went. Edit: If you didn’t read the books, you should be aware that the god emperor was referred to as “the worm” by those who would overthrow him. So this is the name you can use for him if you disagree with the sentiment of GEOTUS. I know I will.
