Turns out, the fucking moron can do anything. The cult members don't care, and neither do the swing-voters, apparently. 2/3s of the country is just fine with a fascist moron. Ignore any blubbering from that 2/3s to the contrary as consequences come to roost.
Approximately 195 million adult Americans didn’t vote for Donald.
Approximately 75 million people voted for this asshole.
That’s not ⅔ of the country.
But it was enough people according to the rules of the game.
195 million Americans could have voted. I'll be generous and assume 40% were unwillingly removed from the voting registrations or couldn't vote by mail. That still leaves 117 million Americans who simply did not care about who was going to win. They were just as fine with having a neoliberal president with feeble, token acts of progress, or a fucking fascist. The apathy in this country is rampant and I find it horrifying. It means they feel isolated from whatever consequences come next.
Trump is an excellent entertainer. Even his enemies share video of his amusing antics.
There's a reason America likes to elect actors and celebrities.
Their main purpose is to entertain the masses, while corporations exert their power.The good old "Hey! Look over here!" never fails to distract the masses from what really matters.
Trump just made the right populist noises and voters elected him over whoever the Democratic Neoliberal Committee decided to stand up this time.
Trump will go down in history as the greatest con artist that ever lived.
Or the most ruthless dictator this side of the 21st century. You decide.
He heard about that Hawk Tuah girl getting famous and he figured he’d give it a shot and spit on that thang himself.
Taught about Watergate and Deep Throat in 2016 but then stayed at a Holiday Inn one night.
I love and hate this gif because it illistrates so clearly what the problem is but our entire political system cannot begin to address it. Trump can sit there and fellatiate a microphone because our norms say there is nothing wrong with it. Our politics say, that is one of the most egregious acts someone can display in a political setting and it will surely result in a loss of support. One of these two things is wrong.
ITT people replying in earnest without viewing the GIF.
Lol
Overall turnout was low. I blame crappy Democrat candidates
The DNC cannot win. They are the space shuttle and we are wanting to go to mars.
