    Turns out, the fucking moron can do anything. The cult members don’t care, and neither do the swing-voters, apparently. 2/3s of the country is just fine with a fascist moron. Ignore any blubbering from that 2/3s to the contrary as consequences come to roost.

      Approximately 195 million adult Americans didn’t vote for Donald.

      Approximately 75 million people voted for this asshole.

      That’s not ⅔ of the country.

      But it was enough people according to the rules of the game.

        195 million Americans could have voted. I’ll be generous and assume 40% were unwillingly removed from the voting registrations or couldn’t vote by mail. That still leaves 117 million Americans who simply did not care about who was going to win. They were just as fine with having a neoliberal president with feeble, token acts of progress, or a fucking fascist. The apathy in this country is rampant and I find it horrifying. It means they feel isolated from whatever consequences come next.

          TBH I think the dems didn’t care who was going to win. Otherwise they could have nominated Bernie, Michelle, etc. They chose genocide and internal favors over winning.

          Also most people live in places where their vote doesn’t matter. We should really only be talking about swing states. Everywhere else is just political theater.

        Not voting is standing by as fascism comes into power. They’re just fine with it.

          Most people live in states where their vote doesn’t matter.

          And if the dems hadn’t nomintated a trash candidate, they would have stood by while fascism lite came into power. That’s what happened last election. Libs were fine with it.

    Trump just made the right populist noises and voters elected him over whoever the Democratic Neoliberal Committee decided to stand up this time.

    Downvoted for referring to Trump as a “genius”. Being so bigoted and authoritarian that 2024 Americans are confused by it isn’t an act of “genius”, it’s the rantings of a madman paired with an electorate with dog turds for brains.

    Blame the failed education system, the media for sanewashing this fuckbag for a decade, and the DNC for thinking that abandoning their base to suck GOP dick was a winning strategy.

    Ya know what? Compared to the dumbfuck strategy of the DNC, perhaps he is a genius!

      I blame stupid fucking Americans.

      They chose facism over a candidate they weren’t enthusiastic about.

      Let America burn. It deserves it.

          Viewing politics as a spectator sport is certainly the fault of a misinformed, unenlightened electorate. The crappy candidates continue to pop up because that’s the best our corporate trash parties can do with political couch potatoes that are less interested in whether or not their neighbors suffer and die than about which walking cosmetic surgery mishap was a bitch at brunch, or which bimbo was chosen on the bachelor.

          Trump himself is even a product of this couch potato culture and was well known before running for office for being the biggest, baddest boss of them all in a reality TV game show full of complete idiots pretending to run companies in front of cameras for the prize of a fictional job at a scam corporation.
