    Someone like Trump doesn’t surprise me … there are many people in the world that are this dumb and obnoxious. They’re everywhere … he isn’t special.

    What gets me is that America literally paved the way for him to gain the highest office in their country and the population still sits around complaining about it while doing as little or nothing about it all.

      The most shocking thing? MAGA still supports him, even in the face of rising prices, losing benefits and constant lies. A true cult that will be studied for decades

        My MAGA relative shared a meme on FB saying “Border crossings down 93%, gas prices hit a 4 year low, eggs down $1.8 per dozen, inflation down to 1.8%, the Media silent” with absolutely no sources.

        They’re not living on the same plane of reality. They don’t care about the veracity of anything.

          Right wing memes are true because of the vibes.

          Left wing memes are all lies, especially the ones with sources. Because they’re bad feelings with icky nasty self reflection.

        Surprise surprise.

        Fascists are exactly as dumb as they sound.

        They think once every other race, religion and sexual orientation is gone, they will be in heaven.

        Not realizing they are digging the other way.

        Centuries. The ripple effect this administration is causing will be felt through generations, whether or not they get their way in the end. This is scientology but bigger and if they actually succeeded at infiltrating the greatest military power in recorded history. People will be talking about these days long after we are all dead.

        That’s not sure. What comes after him might be worse. But for the USA, this is like getting that first heart attack. It’s the sign things need to change urgently. Just ignoring it happened and assuming the problem goes away when going back to the old routine is the worst you can do. Without some serious lifetime changes, the next one will be worse.

        Unfortunately Democrats are the party is the status quo and Republicans only like to make things right for a very small part of the population. Nothing much will change for the better.

      nothing about it at all

      Third largest set of protests in American history

      🤔

      (Note I said nothing about efficacy, but some people do seem to think it’s effective; I guess we’ll see)
