That's just humans.
My mom tells me to "stop worrying about the sky falling, worry about yourself first" in response to every time I criticize any regime in the world
As someone unfortunately living in the states, I would like to apologize for our idiotic population
It’s rape. Call it what it is.
Rape is a form of sexual abuse.
What I hate is when people say Trump fucks children.
Consenting adults fuck. An adult raping a child is not fucking.
This is pretty much the MAGA base, yeah.
A lot of them voted for Trump simply because they thought the economy would be better under him. Not sure what happened during his first term that made them feel that way.
The dollar generally went further than the four years after he left office and that was his entire campaign selling point for the vast majority of Americans. "Remember when things were affordable right before the pandemic? And then Joe Biden took office and things were more expensive?"
But obviously the affordability of day to day life had very little to do with Biden's policy and more to do with global trajectory and many of Biden's policies did slow the approach to today's economy. And Trump really just strapped a rocket engine to the economy in the direction of late stage capitalism once he was back in office.
Almost like he just sorta, lied to them... Like he always has....
Huh, what? No. No it did not.
His team had all the cherry picked numbers to "prove" it went further, bit if you believe that, tell you what - I got some prime lakefront property you might be interested in! It's on the moon, though...
Your actual spending power will never increase under Republican leadership. Fucking never. Fuck sake, these are the assholes that sold "trickle down economics".
No, he won because bigotry. Nothing else.
Don't discount that we're all much more influenced by the extremely powerful, corporately owned media propaganda macine than any of us would like to believe.

Because the average American voter's memory is so fucking short they don't remember all the shit that made the dollar go farther was scheduled to end right after his term ended. They don't remember how the first teem was full of 'all gas no breaks' economic relief to pump up the market, so there was little to no wiggle room once they ran out.
Plus, that whole pandemic thing. And we're not getting into how he made that so much worse, that's a whole other topic.
Well it was the covid recession that made everything cheaper, things were cheaper because a ton of people lost their jobs and went broke.
Fox News lied a lot. Is what happened during his first term that made them feel that way. They were told shit was delicious and believed it.
So did cnn and nytimes, yes fox news in unabashedly shit but cnn and nytimes gave as much free adspace to trump
Factually incorrect, judging by the fact that not only has Donald lost basically every election in 2025 and 2026, but the majority of those elections he's lost were in districts he won by double digits in 2024, both red and blue states.
Americans are so pissed off about the child rape that Republicans can't even gerrymander anymore, because they can't accurately predict where they have voter support.
And, everyone on this thread just pretending the meme is true, perhaps think through it a little before responding.
Republicans are the more religious of the bunch, and their "youth pastors" have a long track record of child abuse and these people make pedophiles their leaders religious and political, so there is that.
Donald lost basically every election in 2025 and 2026
:-/
I gotta double check, but I'm pretty sure Donald wasn't on the ballot in '25 and '26. I think you're underselling the rest of the GOP field, which has actually under-performed Trump himself even in the good years and is now outright shitting itself in the bad ones.
But that's not really the gist of the meme. Might be worth noting that Epstein was as deeply embedded with Dems as Repubs, having allied with liberal luminaries like Larry Summers, Kathy Ruemmler, and - of course - Bill Clinton. Meanwhile, roll the calendar back a couple years to the Biden Era DOJ and you find zero shits given about Epstein when Dems had control of both Congress and the Executive Branch.
Then you've got "Kids In Cages", which was a very big deal right before the '16, '20, and '24 election cycles, but suddenly stopped mattering the day after. Actual concern for real human children does not seem to move the needle on public support/opposition to a politician. It's just a rhetorical cudgel to swing.
If anything, the sadism inherent in immigration politics seems to get a certain sector of the voting base off.
And, everyone on this thread just pretending the meme is true
Slapping a sticker with a President's face on it next to a gas station price tag has been common practice since the Bush Era. Very common for apparatchiks to hem and haw over the cost of a gallon.
But when it comes to child sexual abuse? crickets

Also, meme isn't invalidated by the fact it doesn't apply to everyone. It does apply to some, and it's a really dumb or shitty line they're drawing.

MAGA separatists, yes. But, not "Americans". I really wish Canadians and Europeans would quit lumping all of us together in one camp. You'd be surprised at how many of us want to be part of Europe (and have for quite some time).
Maybe y'all should do something about it then
Yeah. Pretty much. CSA is gonna happen to someone somewhere sometime, that's their problem, but 50 cents more for gas is happening to me right here right now!
Not my belief, but I've got a bunch of idiot neighbors and at least two mega chuches near me.
Because the right has a renowned lack of empathy for people who aren't themselves. We see it time and again in the leopards eating their faces that they then get upset over something.
and at least two mega chuches near me.
That explains why they don't care about CSA.
Works the same for raw materials that are needed for batteries and the children in Congo. Europeans are not far off.
I suppose this is the logical outcome of rabid individualism. It wasn't their kids that were abused, but it's their bank account getting drained at the gas station.
