People asked the question before. It went something like:

"You do realize that he'll be a dictator, right?"

" We don't care. He'll be our dictator and that's all that matters."

And then they'll say they do it for freedom and democracy.

Many don’t think he can pull it off, which is the scary part that might let him do it.

“Oh, that’s all talk. He can say what he wants but can’t do shit without the House and Congress, and if he wanted to change things to get more terms? With states majority agreement that’s required? Not in his lifetime. You worry for nothing, PassingThrough, it’s all showmanship, as it always has been. And no, the Army wouldn’t help such an obvious fool overthrow the government either.”

Our country is full of proudly ignorant bootlickers

Turns out all you need to do is make up some bullshit about "American dreams" and "bootstraps," make them believe they too can (and probably already should!) be a billionaire, and the one thing stopping that are those goddamn Marxist Democrats and their "progressive taxation," and "social safety nets for the blacks (please ignore the fact that I'm on disability, it's different)".

Republicans have been sabotaging our country's own public education system for 25+ years at this point. Selling the future prosperity of our nation down the river for a voter-base with cult-like devotion, and a unique ability to ignore objective reality.

Unfortunately for the planet, it seems to have been wildly successful.

The next step is to do away with democracy altogether.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not just our country.

in any other democratic nation, he would have been finished in 2015, when the "grab'em by the pussy" tape came out

but no, it's 2024 and we STILL have to waste time arguing about drag queens and library books

Hello my fellow human beings, I'm a human and love doing human activities.

These people who talk equally as phony.

Behold: a black person.

Imagine how stupid the average person is, then realize half of all people are stupider than that.

Him saying it out loud is an accident. People with dementia often forget that they're not supposed to say certain things out loud.

Trump is a cult leader in all but name. His zealots support worldviews that have been made illegal, taboo, obsolete, or otherwise unacceptable, like white supremacy and racism, fascism, theocracy, homo-/transphobia, and mysogyny; they perceive this as an attack against their lifestyles by "the others." They will rally to the loudest voice that speaks out against "the others" and support him as long as that remains true.

Trump cultists are irrational creatures, you can't apply rational expectations and deduce a satisfactory answer.

As an insider, it's even worse. You didn't have to suffer 4 years of continuous clusterfuck and embarrassment only to be topped off by a planned insurrection that they still try to gaslight everyone about.

You're absolutely correct that it would be the end of America.

I'm Canadian and whenever I'm abroad, the locals ask me what the fuck is wrong with Americans. Expecting I'll know better bc we're neighbours.
Which is true, since we're more likely to interact.
All I can reply is, "They're just totally fucked!" It's that simple!

Also, when I meet Americans abroad now, the first thing they do is apologize for America. That's the only Canadian trait that's rubbed off on them.

As an American, neither do I. The man was a national joke for 30+ years, and all it took was a shiny new coat of paint in the form of a reality TV show where they just straight up constantly lied about his wealth and business acumen, for people to literally begin worshipping him.

Watching your loved ones fall into this shit is heartbreaking.

You will never need to worry about your house again!

Not just the first woman president, but the first female mixed race president and the first to snap back when attacked in a long time. Trump is scared. He just went from saying "you don't need to vote because we have plenty of votes" to "please vote so we can put an to end voting"

Edited to say first female mixed race since Obama was first mixed race

Not even bizarre, just saying the quiet part out loud, again.

With all the people wearing a bandage on their ear it looks like they already have their stigmata.
