Worst part is we will not learn. Democrats are getting behind newsom only because he is less of a wet blanket then current leaders. But he still supports the policies that resulted in trump. I want to say " but yeah maybe we can push having newsome really change shit for the better", then I remember that never worked with Obama. The cycle continues...
But he still supports the policies that resulted in trump. I
What policies were those? If you helped Trump come to power you're not a liberal or leftist. You're a Trump supporter.
The party isn't to blame this time. It's the voters and we need to stop making these excuses.
We really need to find and rally behind a leftist/progressive candidate now and begin building momentum and support so we can primary them, otherwise the nomination will definitely go to Newsom. I stumbled into a Democrat message board today and they are already acting like he is the second coming.
Fuck, I know this is an unpopular take- but Bernie still seems coherent and we could definitely do worse. Of the few centrists and 'non political' types I know they all seem to have respect for him. He may not be perfect- but we can't let perfect be the enemy of the good. He has the advantage of being Old, White, and Male- and you know that will score points with a lot of people who voted for Biden and not Harris, as gross as that is.
If someone else has a better suggestion I am more than willing to hear it, but let's pick someone soon and really try to get people to go to the primaries this time.
Before anyone says it- No, that isn't all we should do. Yes, the Dems will try to stop it. Doesn't mean it isn't worth trying.
the accuracy is uncomfortable...
I guess he does like wearing makeup like JD. Wait that almost looks like lipstick on the inside.
as a non american, I think this is my exact image for trump. From the way he walks, talks and exist, I think he is a disgusting immature buffoon
As a non american this is my image of nearly all Americans.
Well said. Honestly, I feel very strongly that this is not an overreaction compared to what he has said and done over his lifetime. Truly a vile human being at best.
I feel the righteous fury...but they forgot about the rape and pedophilia
I'm genuinely sick of seeing his face, hearing his voice or even being told by the news about the new stupid shit he said today. I'm sick of the people who idolize him when it should be so blatantly obvious to anyone with even a shred of human decency that every word in OP's post is accurate.
This man is the embodiment of our inadequacy as a species.
As a nation you mean, not a species. I've been to so many countries where this man would never have made it to anything let alone fucking president. Trump didnt happen out of a vacuum, there is a very real fascist ROT in the core of the United States that needs to be dealt with once and for all.
Getting you overwhelmed is a strategy do not give in its tough seeing every single day something cruel and stupid. I am tired of him too. But i won't block or filter him. We should not look away.
That was the main reason why I was pissed off at his first and then again second election. Even here in Europe he was going to dominate the news cycle every single fucking day. And we are all dumber for having to listen to his incoherent blabbering.
When Biden won in 2020, I was so relieved. He wasn't my pick in the primary, but the news wasn't a constant stream of embarrassment and frustration. I hate that he's back and so much worse.
We have the sight but not the smell, at least.
This is spot on accurate and amazingly well written!
Just a reminder that less than 25% of Americans “voted” for Trump. And there exists real possibility that he cheated the election. A recent NSA audit shows Harris won.
Also, Trump is a child rapist.
It's almost worse. 90 million don't care at all.
86 million people did not vote, so they were ok with him too. you can't just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence.
given that it’s america, some portion of those couldn’t vote because they couldn’t get time off work, were purged from voter rolls, etc
i wouldn’t say most, but some
Or they don't live in a swing state...
How much did you donate to the Harris campaign? How much time did you spend volunteering for it. You can't just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence, after all.
People keep pointing out stuff like this but a country that has even the barest amount of collective sanity wouldn’t have even let him get beyond the party primary. 25% is a staggering number. Ya’ll I know that it still matters to say it and I’m not saying to stop but I keep hearing it in a context that heavily implies the rest of the world is ignorant for “not getting it” when we definitely already know there are good people in the US. Like, yea, you’ve got a handful of decent people but even your large number of “moderates” are capitalist Nazi sympathizers so…
At this point, the reaction (and non-reaction) of the general public has been enough to show me that there is tacit support. Each group has their "red line," I imagine, where they'll suddenly give a shit when their gardener gets deported or whatever... But somehow we haven't hit that line yet for most people, and it's fucking depressing.
It's incredibly depressing. But somehow there are still consequences for actual actions. We're so dispersed there hasn't been a point where someone has said they are going to oust him, and if they succeed whoever helps support won't get hung as a traitor.
Even if someone were to assassinate Trump, no one is organized to replace him. Vance isn't any better, nor anyone really in line. We can't just cut off Trump, we need to cut out the entire rotted party and treat every single one of them as traitors.
Reference on that audit?
It was a story going around on reddit a couple of months ago about a guy claiming to be a whistleblower. Some guy claiming he was an ex intelligence agent or something, said he was part of an NSA audit on the election that showed definitively that Harris won, but his claims didn't have a lot of meat to them so I kind of discarded it as a hoax or whatever.
But there was some evidence presented by another account I can't remember. He showed some compelling irregularities in the results that seemed plausible. There is also the court case in NY with people signing affidavits claiming their votes were switched.
I'm on the shitter so I can't link anything right now, but hopefully that information from my poor recollection will help you find what you're looking for.
I did the math. I’ll see if I can find it. It wasn’t 25%, so I don’t know where that number comes from. My number was ~32%, and I can’t remember if that was % population or registered voters.
E: Found it, it's 32% of the adult population, conspiracy theory notwithstanding.
Most Americans did not vote for Trump.
Here’s how it works:
*US Population, adult over 18: ~250 million.
*Of that population, ~244 million are eligible to vote.
*Of eligible voters, only 63.9% voted.
*Of the 63.9%, less than half, 49.8%, went to Trump. To re-emphasize that point, Trump did not get more than 50%.
*Harris got 48.3%
*The ~1% difference voted third party.
The math is pretty basic. 63.9% of 250 million is 159.7 million voting, 49.8% of that voting for trump is 79.5 million.
So out of 250 million, ~32% actually voted for trump. The rest is the issue with the electoral college, but we’re talking people, not the EC.
This is beautiful. The only problem with this, and Jack White's recent trump comment, is that they have too many words. Meaning republicans will never read them.
What was Jack White's recent comment?
Edit: Found this: https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/jack-white-donald-trump-white-house-oval-office-b2811499.html
On Monday (18 August), White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement to The Independent that White was “masquerading as a real artist”
Bahahahahahaha... Imagine anyone going to Steven fucking Cheung for insight about art. Fucking clowns.
How long until we start hearing about "degenerate art"?
If they even could read
It wouldn't matter if they did read it, MAGA doesn't have critical thinking skills. To them, Trump is God and anything that says otherwise is terrorism against the United States. It's that simple. If the Epstein files are only a moderate annoyance to Trump and won't change MAGA's opinions on him literally nothing will. Trump is a president on the child rapist list and that still isn't enough to change MAGA's minds. Nothing will, full stop. It doesn't matter what anyone does at this point, Trump won. He has the executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, the armed forces, the state governments, all of law enforcement, and financial leaders on his side. What else is there?
Half of us adults can't read at a 6th grade level. I think many of those can only do so if they really try, and mostly coast by in a haze
They'd just spew their usual meaningless outrage if they did. They're irredeemable.
Goes hard af
How thoughtless and heartless does someone have to be to write this shit knowing damned well half the voting public in the USA just got a second hand burn they cannot afford medical treatment for.
The problem is the other half that cries it’s being burned, they do absolutely nothing to mitigate this. Americans act like this is something that happened out of a vacuum, rather than take responsibility for decades upon decades of letting elected officials destroy your country. You all act like “it’s not me, I didn’t vote for this” but you all (every American) let this happen. Protesting for one day out of the year ain’t gonna cut it. Where’s the general strikes, and work stoppages, or actual outrage. The rest of the world looks at America and sees nobody actually doing anything. You guys could learn a lot about protesting from other countries like France for example.
decades upon decades of letting elected officials destroy your country
What does this mean, exactly?
Where are you from? Fascism is spreading to the UK and Canada as we speak.
The problem with striking for more then a week will probably leave you homeless and without a safety net, the rulling class know this and know they can sit us out. I think we will see more assassinations and shootings on both sides before anyone learns to protest better because thats more sustainable. Either you die or you get a roof over your head again.
"cowardice of a draft dodger"
American liberals really have just become the conservatives of ten years ago.
What don't you get about taking a false stance to point out THEIR hypocrisy?
Sure, false...
This is the best depiction of Cheeto I've ever read.
he doesn't even try to get his ears.
I believe that he purposely does that, and chooses ill fitting suits, and spouts nonsense in order to seem more 'down to earth' and more like a regular old idiot. It's the George W. Bush strategy.
Now that Bush is no longer in office and way older he is suddenly able to string together coherent sentences? Its all a ruse.
Part of me wonders that too. But I am not sure if his narcissism would allow him to do that.
That's fucking poetry
If Trump could read, he might be quite upset at this
Proud to be a part of a country that can still fix this.
He was elected, after all, by more than half of the american voters. They either voted for him or didn't want to vote (implying that he was ok as a president).
So yeah, he IS the personalization of what a huge portion of america is.
Minor correction: Trump won with less than half of registered voters, which is only 30% of eligible voters (over 18)
2024 election results as of Jan 15, 2025 (AP News)
77,303,573 votes (49.9%) - Trump : 23% of pop, 30% of eligible (18+), 45% of reg *
75,019,257 votes (48.4%) - Harris : 22% of pop, 29% of eligible (18+), 44% of reg *
337,375,114 - US Population as of Nov 6, 2024 (Census.gov)
*note the number of registered voters is not as easy to determine as the number that voted
Anyone able to vote and not voting for Harris is indirectly voting for Mango Hitler.
If you can vote and decide to not do it, you are saying you are ok with both candidates.
Still won with more than half of American voters. You’re not a voter if you don’t use your vote.
Still a majority though isn't it?
This is what america is. I don't like it either, but feelings don't change facts.
He was elected, after all, by more than half of the american voters.
This common refrain does a lot of heavy lifting by assuming that Trump did not cheat to win (again).
I'm not saying he did, and him even coming close to being in office a second time is still a damning indictment of our society regardless, but the fact of the matter is that Trump had every incentive to do so (avoiding an almost certain prison sentence, plus multiple other lawsuits that could add on to it) and nobody bothered to challenge the results in the months after the election when Democrats still held power, so we'll never know the truth (since records of any misconduct would have likely been destroyed by now).
Remember how we mocked them for thinking Biden cheated in 2020 despite Trump being in office? Can we not blindly walk into this trap?
My point was not so much about those who directly voted for him as it was about those who, by not voting, made Harris lose, effectively making him win.
Regardless of the cheating, there is a fact: millions of Americans didn't vote in what might have been the most important elections of the country in modern history.
And the rest of the country is basically fine with him. If they weren’t, they would do something about it.
Poetry
Hunter S. Thompson would love this
A sentiment shared by right wing voters across the globe is that crime isn't crime if you can get away with it, because then you are "smart".
My grandfather was a state trooper. He always told me, "It's only illegal if you get convicted."
You'll only be punished for the illegal act if you get convicted. And aren't a Republican in power.
roughly 1/3 but continue
The 1/3 that couldn't be bothered to vote don't deserve to be counted. They decided they don't want to be considered
I could not agree more. This was not some hypothetical ethics or philosophy class thing but choosing the far lesser of two evils. Fascism versus not fascism. Damn them for the abstention.
I didnt vote. Im from arizona. They announced trump the winner before they ever counted our state. Hows that for making you feel like your vote didnt matter. Im glad i did not participate. Wont vote again in 28, because i already know whos running. Its douche bag and turd sandwich.
that 1/3 is also more likely to vote against him if the dems where not so fucking stupid.
You forgot pedophile.
Comment is poetry. Fuck Trump and fuck fascists
Wrong spelling of Idiot
He’s such an old fuck
Sweet Mother Mary, these words are so painfully true.
Mmm, just imagining that having been read at the last presidential debate gives me chills. Oh, to what could have been.
But tell us how you really feel...
Things like this need to be called out loudly and across every channel. Everyone with a platform should expose him for the con man he is—relentlessly, around the clock. Wherever he goes, he should be met with this resistance. We can’t rely on Sanders, AOC, or Newsom (Why only three known Democrats speaking out in opposition?) to fix the situation.
I am going to road trip to take a big shit on his grave when he dies. I am definitely throwing a party the day that mother fuckers dead. Can’t come soon enough. Evil piece of trash.
Look don’t get caught, so what you want to do is prep a turd, get one of those chuckit sticks and launch it as you drive by. You don’t want to be exposed and vulnerable just to take a shit on a shit
