You know what might have been a clue? The past!

If people are surprised, it’s because they aren’t paying attention, or they just think Trump is BASED until the ramifications show up at their doorstep.
elon is the kind of dipshit who probably holds the belief that the commoners’ cancer can be compensated with a higher birth rate. People are just a resource to him.
He doesn’t think of those people at all.
Maybe I’m just OOTL but why bring up muskrat?
Cancer funding was on this bill he shut down: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/johnson-forward-stopgap-funding-bill-despite-elon-musk/story?id=116903027 I thought this was the whole point of mentioning cancer funding at this stage.
But ok, in the interest of transparency this looks like a balanced analysis https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/12/20/trump-elon-musk-childrens-cancer/ for ootl people
He is the new president of the USA. I’m only half joking.
It’s time for a lot of Americans to start to learn some German: “Ich hab es nicht gewust”. Because this is just the tip of the massive pile of shit which is about to come down on everyone.
I knew he was going to hurt poor people, trans people, immigrants, US citizens born of immigrant parents, US citizens of color, women, children, and even people in need of healthcare and research. that was all fine. it was fun, actually, i made fun of them online, and tried to rub it on their face after the election as much as possible.
… but I didn’t think he would also hurt this very specific portion of them which also affects me.
fuck cancer, and fuck this guy. this guy is cancer.
Why would you expect that he wouldn’t? He defrauded a KIDS cancer organization. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone that isn’t him
"Oh, buddy…you think that’s bad, just wait till next year!
…I mean… If you’re still around then."
Bitter me and Trump: fuck this guy’s health
The bad shit hasn’t even started yet.
I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say “No, this is fucked. He needs to go.”
I heard that Vance is twice as bad.
Vance doesnt have the cult of personality behind him.
He doesn’t need them. He’s already VP.
Yeah but in 4 years unless Trump tries to go full Putin thats going to matter.
At least 30% of the population has drunk the Kool-Aid and is so deep in, nothing, not anything, will turn them from their God King.
Only because they believe they will be unaffected or benefit. If they are negatively impacted, they will flip so fast
Republican propaganda outlets will tell them that there is no problem and they’ll believe it. If not that, they’ll tell them the problem is a fault of the “others”, and they’ll get even more on board the maga hate train. They’re a lost cause.
30% of voters
Don’t forget there’s a whole separate worse category of people: those who refuse to vote or learn about “politics”
Nah, I can understand apathy way more than I can the racism and hatred of the fascist Republican voters.
Don’t be fooled. Most of the people who voted this way haven’t figured it out yet.
It’s true. It’s sad seeing how many people are still in the cult.
Some are just fucking stupid. They are so stupid they will accuse you of calling them that when being asked critical thinking questions when they bitch about brown-skinned immigrants “taking over.” I get tired of people saying they are going to “stay and fight” when they are too cowardly to call out close family members who do this.
If they didn’t figure it out the first time around they never will. Only true thing this guy has said is that he could literally shoot someone in the face in the middle of Times Square and he wouldn’t lose supporters.
Well, I’m sure the guy totally meant it and he will now recuse himself from his username handle because, as he admits, he does not have any proper grasp of politics, right? Right?
I thought Alaskan politics was just a game of who can lick Exxon’s boots cleaner.
It will be difficult to “out villain” this administration in most people’s imagination.
2025 - 2029: And then it got worse.
Which fits because the US will turn into a Russia-style oligarchy. Trump even mirrors Yeltzin in many ways.
Republicans think Trump holds conservative values because he regurgitated their speaking points. Like most politicians on any side but to an extreme level, Trump holds no values except those that he thinks will lead to more money or power for him.
Shameless opportunist who is in it for his own vanity constructed out of his fragile bloated ego.
The most amazing one to me is that they’ve deluded themselves into thinking he has Christian values
I mean, look at Christian history and he definitely does.
He does though. No matter how much of a POS you are just say the magic words: “forgive me o lord jesus” and you are forgiven. We live in a clown world where 50% of the world is dragging the rest forward in time.
I think that’s just the Catholics. Don’t the others go in for “if you believe in Jesus you’re good” approach?
A lot of Christian sects are feel good nonsense, yeah.
Like sure the text says you should give your stuff to the poor and (substantially!) help them, but that sounds hard so we’re just going to pray and go back to football and Xbox.
Some even pray for football
“I just wanted a fifth columnist who would govern well according to my kaleidoscopic view of reality”
Jesus. That’s exactly how some people operate. Every day. What the fuck is wrong with humanity.
We’re naked monkeys evolved to live in small groups trying to run a system with several billion people. Humanity is a bit underspecced.
Humanity is in early access, bugs and memory leaks are to be expected. Yes, it’s been early access for years, we’re still adding features!
I didn’t mind the bigotry, racism and anti-democratic scheming but this is where i draw the line.
Ooooh, it’s not just about racism… damn
You omitted pedophile rapist.
Yeah they draw the line right in front of them. And they only notice someone crossing it when it hits them in the face.
Their line is a circle around themselves.
Some of them include their children.
“But not Fred, he’s too woke. And Jenna is a lesbianist!”
Jenna is a lesbianist
She plays the alto lesbian in the orchestra.
I tried out for that, but I couldn’t get the tonguing right. Took up violin, because fingering is just more natural to me.
Mmmmmmm alto lesbian
Cancer may affect her.
