An outgoing president needing to pardon his family pre-emptively because the incoming president is threatening them is well along the path to fascism.
Good job electing Trump you fucking morons. I hope that the consequences of your own actions hurt you more than they hurt the rest of the world.
Sadly we would have embraced fascism whether voters elected Trump or Harris/Biden, as we’ve seen with the sentiment towards Palestinians.
With the former, it’s fascism. With the latter, it’s fascism-lite.
Ultimately, we’re going to reach a chilling point that will probably demand a WWIII. When that comes has probably now been accelerated due to Trump winning.
Sanders was our key to fighting fascism. Sadly Obama, Clinton, and Biden all kneecapped him in favor of billionaires and the status quo while claiming no responsibility for the seeds they sewed.
FWIW, as an American, I really hope you’re right. Because there is serious potential for us to fuck up the entire rest of the world for a very, very long time.
The US fucked up the world a long time ago, we’re all entering the find out phase now.
I’d like to thank the Gaza single issue voters and bLuEMagA mouth breathers, good job guys!
Gaza was either not big enough to affect the result, or big enough where your candidate should have acknowledged it. You can’t have it both ways.
But muh scapegoat :(
To be honest, there is a lot of blame to be cast on the Dem leadership as well as the voters. They managed to run one of the most uninspiring campaigns of all time.
Nah, they gave voters plenty to be hopeful about but none of them actually want that future. The choice was pretty damn clear.
What would the second Biden/Harris admin have done that the first wouldn’t have? Actual functioning healthcare? They didn’t even say they were aiming for that.
Look, I’m not saying the Dems weren’t the less bad choice, I’m not even saying that voters should have been more active, but what happened was that Dems weren’t able to turn out the vote because they alienated some of their electorate. Trump mostly didn’t gain or lose voters.
And it’s quite a shit take to have it out for “Gaza single issue voters”, when you ask them to be “no fascism single issue voters”. Some people have different sets of values, almost nobody wants to live in a dictatorship, but aside from a few outliers like Lina Khan, the Dems just didn’t work for the people.
And stepping back, it was not even the current Dems’ fault mainly. It’s the entire political establishment of the past decades letting the system slide into this, inch by inch. It’s every time some rich guy didn’t get arrested for his shenanigans, every little slip where money trumped morals and laws. This is the result.
Imagine, just imagine, if the ICE threw the illegal immigrant Musk out like they do with brown people. Or if the IRS wasn’t underfunded for decades. And I know that it’s mostly the ghoulish machinations of the GOP that’s to blame for that, but I never saw a Dem presidential candidate campaign on “law and order for the wealthy as well” or “make megacorps pay their due taxes”, or even “let’s catch up to the rest of the world with healthcare”.
Oh, we’re already there.
To be fair they didn’t actually elect trump, the election was clearly rigged
Yep. The traitor even said so last night, by dementia accident.
I don’t understand why folks downvote comments pointing this out to be honest. Like bro, the man literally fucking said it out loud what more do you want. He’s quoted as saying a) Elon musk in some way stuffed the electronic ballots in PA and b) he (ie trump) wouldn’t be president if the election had not been rigged what more do you want bro serious question I’m fucking interested
Because the statement is so stupid there is no way its true. He says Elon knows more about these voting computers than anyone one else and was able to rig it. Obviously that statement is not true Elon knows nothing about voting machines.
We can pretend to believe Trump just to hold his feet to the fire but he’s so slippery he will slip out and we will be left sitting here looking like idiots for believing the dumb claim.
Honestly, masterful plan by the traitor’s handlers. They made sure that we couldn’t complain about a rigged 2024 election because of the bullshit they spread about the non-rigged 2020 one.
I guess the Nazis win.
