Bigots, cultists and morons elected a wannabe dictator because eggs were too expensive.
Trump has tapped in to the resentment of a significant portion of Americans, and the Democrats failed to nominate a strong candidate early in the election season to run against him.
What do you mean? Â Trump came in. Â
Basically, everything Joe Biden did is being undone. Â Same thing happened in 2016. Â Trump came in and tried to undo everything Obama did.
The simple explanation is that democracy in the USA is rapidly decomposing into an autocracy.
It’s hard for me to understand as well.
Though Trump did just say that he had Elon Musk’s knowledge of voting machines to credit for delivering Pennsylvania, the single most important swing state.
The political class increasingly prioritised the wants of the corporations over the needs of the people while right-wing groups shifted the blame to convenient scapegoats, so now the people are lashing out at both the establishment and the scapegoats.
Fox News, Facebook, and Twitter joined forces to spread misinformation, and the normal news sources decided they can make more money by doing what Fox does. Coming soon, TikTok will join in the propaganda. Just listen to Green Day’s American Idiot and think that things have only gotten worse since that song came out.
Well the country decided that having a felon as a president would be sick and didn’t think of the unfathomable consequences of it. We’re shifting to 1984 FAST and it’s alarming. This is what happens when “the people” elect a capitalist pig with profit and control in mind. We have school shootings, inequality across the board, housing issues, and a plethora of other nationwide problems and do we try to work on those? No, our priorities are making sure that man and woman are the only gender options and renaming places on a map.
“Oh man I sure am glad I don’t have to worry about transfems coming into the woman’s bathroom to spy on me. It’s totally worth the entire disarray of the nation for this issue that’s completely made up.”
[ Edit: Yes I have read 1984. I know what it’s based on. If you don’t like my take you don’t have to agree but just stop asking me if I’ve read 1984 or if I know what it means. ]
Women’s height standards have gotten exceedingly unrealistic here.
We are as dumb as you all think we are.
Only about a 3rd of our voting population can rub two brain cells together, another 3rd is just monumentally stupid and hateful, and another 3rd is even dumber because they just dont give a shit. They are looking up what oligarchy means about 3 months after it would have mattered.
Republicans in Congress covered up corruption, so the majority of people who voted for Trump aren’t actually aware of his corruption during his first term.
Decades of the heritage foundations plans coming together.
Literally everything is ok. It’s honestly insane how supporters of one side or the other think they’re the only right one’s and every who disagrees with their political beliefs are messed up. People believe what they want to believe, not what’s actually true.
In a very small nutshell- the democrats either badly fumbled or intentionally dropped the last election, a miscreant got put back in office, now everyone’s mad or scared.
They wanted their country back and they chose the person they believed can do it.
Democracy voted in Donald Trump.
Not really. I know that Trump has been pretty bold and even said the election was rigged in his Jan 19th rally. Elon is getting office space in the White House for the presidency he bought of around 1/4 a billion dollars. Essentially, it’s Ologarchy vs fascism for the next 4 years, and EVERYONE will pay for the ignorance and bigotry of right-wing americans.
This is what’s happening. I don’t know how and I don’t know when, but at some point the baby boomers became less optimistic about Trump than anyone else.
Republicans have destroyed public education over the last 30yrs and now we have several generations of dumb idiots. Oh and a bunch of left, left thought they could abandon minorities and women but it wouldn’t be so bad. Surprise! It is very bad.
fascism.
This orange pasty leathery mother fucker is exploiting America’s lack of education to gain the presidency and shift the scale of power in favor of rich and powerful and their corporations and away from the people.
Pain
They listened to Joe Rogan
Using identity politics, somehow ending up with two weird men well past retirement age as the main candidates , some odd policies, and hostility along with name calling of voters on the other side has gotten an oligarch with no prior political position into office who may opt to create an oligarchy out of the democratic government
What is happening right now is that anyone with an IQ over 100 is a ball of anxiety and depressions and all we want to do is drink ourselves to sleep in a cold room under a weighted blanket and cuddle a dog
Fascism.
Nothing really.
Nothing ever changes that much and this all has little to no bearing on my day to day life.
Nothing will really change but a lot of people will be acting like it’s the end of the world for no reason. But tomorrow will come and the same people will insist it’s ending all over again. Rince repeat until the next election and then the sides doing the crying will flip again.
That looks like a mug shot after he has been arrested exposing himself in front of a school…
Same thing that’s happening in almost every country
Not sure why people are confused? He was voted in by a free and fair election. The fact that you might not agree doesn’t change the fact that this is democracy.
What’s happening is the American people were gaslighted for 4 years by politicians and media that Biden was strong mentally, and a healthy fit for president. Shortly before the election, the Democrats staged a coupe, overthrew Biden, finally said he wasn’t mentally sharp and installed a candidate who’s been widely unpopular from the beginning. That candidate blew over $1 billion on celebrities and fake interviews, ran on no real platform and she is now is now in debt.
Basically a lot of us are so dumb we cant see an obvious fraud.
