It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things. This is literally the opposite of what he ran on.

Anyone, and I truly mean anyone, who couldn't see that he is completely driven by selfish reasons (ego/wealth/power) has Fetterman level brain damage.
At this point, I can't even communicate with people that support trump. They are incapable of measured, honest, logical thought. We now have a full-blown cult that has grown to a frightening scale. c'est la vie USA.
Trump1.0 might have been excusable, but 2.0? I felt physically sick when they announced election results in '24, halfway across the globe.
This is not about being conservative, or even politics anymore. Or "different opinions". This is an absence of basic decency & common sense. Decades of brainrot. A people spoiled (sorry to the good apples in this analogy).
I have a coworker who I respect greatly because she is a nice person and she does great work. I have no reason not to like her and treat her as one of my best coworkers. We work in IT management for a large organization. She is educated, smart, coherent, and like I said, she is one of the best that I get to work with. I’m thankful for her.
But man is she brainwashed by Fox. We once got into a conversation on politics in 2024 and it became clear to me that she was voting for Trump. She thought Kamala couldn’t string a sentence together and that things had been better under Trump. We respectfully disagreed.
Politics came up again a couple of days ago. She offered that she was pissed that gas prices were so high. She offered that she felt betrayed, etc. I felt like it was progress in her opening up to the idea that Trump is a turd UNTIL she kept on with the What-About-ism with Kamala and then how both sides claim the other side cheated in elections, etc, yada yada. She has a Fox talking point for everything. So we drop it. Life goes on.
Trump’s supporters will give up a little in admitting that Trump is wrong in the Iran war because life has been made even more inconvenient and Trump has broken his campaign promises now time and time again, but it’s still a step too far for them to acknowledge that they couldn’t see this coming or that he really does smell like a turd despite it being so fucking obvious. I can agree that Kamala was going to be an another democratic establishment president, but at least she wouldn’t be terrorizing us all every day.
Our president is an evil dim-witted asshole.
He was elected by well-intentioned but equally dim-witted assholes.
Maybe this is a hot take but I think harris (or Biden) also would have ended up attacking Iran. I've seen no evidence that either one of them was willing to say "no" to Israel. Things would look different in a lot of ways but not this particular one.
No, they are definitely not well-intentioned. They are as equally evil dim-witted assholes as he are.
this was clear from back in 2016
millions of people knowingly voted for him.
millions of people didn't vote cause of gaza (or cause both parties are the same)
his own VP called him a Nazi
now all these people will vote him out cause gas prices are high
i still won't be able to talk to them
God i wish i had the hope you have.
you might be right. it's known that Republicans increase unemployment and the national debt. but millions vote for them anyway.
my parents gleefully watch fox news and right wing talking heads all day everyday, they are completely insane, and all of their friends and a lot of my extended family are right there with them. everyday i hope the new extreme insane mask off thing that drops will have them changed and capable of interacting with me, but it never happens, they just become more and more discusting cheering it all on and dismissing the impact. they love trump today just as much as 2 years ago and will vote like the discusting pawns they are, and there are shit loads more people just like them and worse. They think the gas prices and any other problems that emerge is something they bravely have to endure for their leaders master plan. They think the war is some important strategic part of making america great again. There is nothing i can say or do to help them either, they see me as a dumb animal who doesnt understand the real truth that they do no matter what i say or do. They have been cut off by beloved family members and still wont change and dont care. This is the reality of the maga cult i think people who dont have to be around it dont realize, i see it everyday because i am stuck living with them.
I'm sorry you have to live with them, sounds exhausting.
it absolutely sucks, not just because of them either, but i do have a lot to be greatful for to in the scheme of things and i mostly try to focus on those things, i have lost a lot of loved ones and i am very aware that life is fragile and short and the blessings we have are so important, not that we should ignore our feelings or the bullshit going on either, but i will say i am happy to use my voice and mind and speak up to anyone who will listen in the current state of hyper-fractured society and its highly curated choose your own custom reality services that keep people from understanding whats really going on with the people around them and counting on just waiting around for outcomes that are never going to happen
They will never vote for a D
They would vote for a democrat if there were:
Please elaborate on 2.
Free healthcare and childcare polls well even among republicans. The "99% hitler" triangulation strategy that has been conventional wisdom among the dem political class for decades attracts nobody.
Don't kid yourselves guys, you will have a civil war to fight before it can get any better. And this time i hope you don't "reconcile" with the traitors afterwards.
Short of France bankrupting itself again to fund an overseas militia would incentivise a revolution movement.
China's big gun manufacturer was banned because supposedly they were trying to sell machine guns and tanks to gangs. But I genuinely think this was just a pretense to justify protectionism and China wouldn't do something so cool.
I screamed and pounded the keyboard back in 2020 at family. Those same family didn't listen, posted their alternative facts, and voted for him again in 2024. I was a pile of raw nerves back then. Now I am numb. heartbroken and numb. Maybe this was how Cassandra felt when Apollo cursed her.
I completely lost my faith in humanity in 2016, don't see any chance to regain it.
let's not equate USA with Humanity.
I'm not. But everywhere I go i see less and less "Humanity".
Where are you going? If it's online, remember the people that run the major platforms have a vested interest in reducing your opinion of other human beings.
Plenty of videos of English white nationalists being shitheads. The rise of the AfD party. Italy has a rising fascism problem and Meloni. Hungary with Orbán. I'm sure there are more examples. Face it, the western world is having an identity crisis.
Those people 100% exist and they are not an insignificant minority. All I'm saying is that platforms like YouTube, X, Facebook, etc are amplifying those voices. They have an outsized voice in online communication.
Oh for sure. I think if the Internet didn't exist their voices would be much smaller.
Mainly western Europe. Most people consider their comfort way more important than other people's survival.
