I…. don’t get it…?

Oh it makes no goddamn sense, but yet here we are.

He not only is literally not a Democrat anymore he was only one in name only when he claimed to be. (See: Sinema). Assholes.

Regulations will NOT happen.

So fucking rich that it’s the NYT suggesting they effectively reported the facts and own no culpability.

Yet Trump’s brain is clearly mush and….

They had to point out President Biden is old. Repeatedly, for weeks and weeks. Yep.

That certainly would have been helpful in my experience.

President Biden / Chuck Schumer: appoint and confirm every fucking Federal judge you can. Now. This week.

No.

I agree that wasn’t the last straw but his reach to promote ignorance with utter confidence is stunning. Jenny McCarthy’s worst fever dream will have less impact on vaccines than this douche will.

The guy who was less funny than Andy Dick influenced the US election.

This timeline is dogshit.

We’d love peace there, like it was before Russia invaded. They should immediately withdraw all their troops so peace resumes. Great idea.

Shit man, I’m worried if we’ll have elections again at all full stop.

Yeah man agreed.

Yeah, discussing that in another thread. People just blowing off voting….insane.

Sure and I get it. I’m not on a yacht to be sure.

But how do you respond to a nebulous feeling? Biden took millions of loans off people’s shoulders. Kamala was specifically citing lower tax bills and home loan support. The GOP will deliver no such relief.

I heard time and again the economy is stable - AND people are still struggling. Hell she pointed out high prices and corporate profiteering. It wasn’t ignored.

That’s where I slam into a wall. Opting for “likely way worse” when “ok but could be better” was on the table.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

But they did because his first administration did nothing to address any of those issues and in fact made them worse. Based on his record their choice (deliberate or no) was to choose demonstrated incompetence and malfeasance instead of moderate change.

The chicken is too meh so order the shit sandwich?

But what represents that change when things are quantifiably pretty good? Opting for chaos? Change for the sole sake of change?

If he was an unknown quantity sure - but there’s recent experience of his first term and it was a shit show. Embracing authoritarianism because…grocery prices? There’s something more afoot. The logic doesn’t hold and there must be a shred of logic in there somewhere.

I sadly think that’s an excellent point. I truly believed a message of hope and compassion woukd resonate far more than grievance and retribution. I believed most of my fellow citizens want optimism in leadership.
