If you voted for Trump then this is 100% what you specifically voted for. I’m tired of hearing this line, it’s bullshit. He was barking about literally everything he is doing the entire time, everyone else was pointing out that this is exactly what he was saying, if you genuinely didn’t think this is what he was all about the entire time then you are an idiot and the exact kind of tool they were asking you to be.
Fuck every single person who voted for this.
Or didn't vote. Those people are even worse than maga in my opinion.
Yeah, not voting for any of the bad options is a lot worse than voting for the worst option.
Voting to stop fascism is primordial and you cannot argue against that unless you are a fascist.
You make it sound like there was no choice between fascism and normalcy.
In fact, there was a choice to stop fascism but people decided not to vote because Israel.
And now Israel is better off and the genocide will be fulfilled.
With Harris, there would have been a status quo and a chance to stop the genocide. Trump and Israel are cut from the same cloth of fascism. So genocide on!!!!
Thanks protest non-voters, you couldn't have made it much worse for Palestine if you tried to.
I wouldn't say worse, but equally idiotic. Not voting doesn't absolve you from causing the result.
Not voting in 2020 would actually have been the optimal outcome for the country. Objectively, we would have been far, far better off if a large number of Democrats had stayed home in 2020, allowing Trump to get a second term then instead of now. Democrats focused on short-term expediency by forcing Biden through. They won the election in 2020, but at what a terrible price. Instead of a flailing second Trump term with Trump as a lame duck, Democrats gave Trump four more years to regroup, strategize, and come up with Project 2025. Democrats chose the cheap and easy solution in 2020, and every one of us is paying for it now.
Your strategy has some merit, but it fails in that it only considers short-term, rather than long-term thinking. Your victories end up temporary and ultimately Pyrrhic.
Voting for today's lesser of two evils only works if you're a goldfish with no memory of history.
So this, the current situation, is the optimal outcome for you? Really?
You’re going to break your arms if you keep jerking yourself off that hard, you know?
Project 2025 is not from yesterday. Do you even know what the Heritage Foundation is?
This(project 2025) has been in the works for decades.
You have very little understanding of what is going on. You are the very goldfish you argue against.
