Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Well, more than half of america voted for this, or allowed it to happen, so....
You are wrong. ~23% of Americans voted for Trump. The problem is that a shit ton of people sat out.
Those people can either be classified as "don't exist" because they actively wiped out their own influence, or "as bad as the Republicans", because they were comfortable allowing it to happen, but they certainly CAN'T be classified as "magic absolution of the American public as a whole for this series of events."
You knew they would not vote for only I am not the other guy, yet you jamned a status quo politician and platform down their throats. Not being popular, trying not to be popular. NOT offering any real reform, not calling out interests cheating us and promising to fix things.
You knew that was not enough, and or america did not know what republicans are, yet you shouted down calls for a new deal, deferred to ivy league party leaders.
So the fault lies with you, first and foremost, I bring it up because those same tools of donors still control the opposition, for perhaps our last chance to take the country back, in 2028, in the succession fight, before elections are fixed beyond recovery. And it already will be fixed your establishment types cannot take it back, and if they did would do nothing and hand it right back.
True, true... But you also can't classify them as voting for trump.
Maybe it the comment should say said, "more than half of America didn't vote against this".
If they didn’t want it they would have voted.
Correct. Did i misspell 'or allowed it to happen'?
No American voted to have their elections dismantled
Everyone single fuckhead looser that voted red voted for this. For fucks sake Trump even said at a rally for "Christian" votes if they would vote for him this time it would be the last time they had to vote.
He even said he would do this during the campaign. They absolutely voted for this and they deserve what they get.
BS. Anyone that voted for Trump in 2024 voted to have our elections dismantled. He was open about his intentions.

Tbf, his opponent happened to have a weird laugh!
/s
And she reservedly supported some bad policies that Trump supported whole-heartedly! They had to let Trump win to send a message!
And lacked a penis how could she run the country. Their vwey emotional.
Well, its in the history books now: more than half of them thought otherwise. I suppose you're right in that apparently the other group dont love their country enough to get off their privileged asses to exercise their right to vote and therefore can't be considered 'american' enuff for you. Oh well.
Yes, but voting for the other candidate wouldn't have instantly solved all problems now and forever, so you might as well just let the blatant fascist win.
No one who let this happen can say they didn't have the choice to at least know about it and dismiss it
