Can't believe you guys are going to vote this guy in.
Most of the nation doesn’t want this, the problem is that the 30-40% that do are the ones who actually go to the voting booths. Worse, they show up armed to the voting centers and stand around intimidating people under the guise of “ensuring security” or some other bullshit
To be fair, he didn't win the popular vote and probably won't again. He'll still get elected because of our fucked up rules, though.

I'd sooner vote Jeffrey Dahmer into the presidency. And yes I realize he's been dead for almost 30 years. But I'd rather have his dead corpse in there than a decorative autumn squash with pussy breath.
You think he has pussy breath? That man has never done a sexual act for his partner’s pleasure in his life
I can. My fellow countrymen are fucking idiots who literally believe every lie they're fed as long as they get it from someone with the magic (R) next to their name. The intended result of having a dogshit educational system.
