Maybe some of those people who he's not popular with should have fucking voted.
But … the last guy who was not even on the ballot is as old as Trump. And eggs are expensive. And another country is waging war, sorry, gEnOcIdE. And Kamala sounds foreign and I don’t know what she would do because I prefer to revel in ignorance instead of finding out myself.
Especially this previous election, since they're about to write the tax laws AGAIN which won't expire for another decade.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Also, until the Democratic party engages in serious reform that throws out the old leadership who keeps collaborating with fascists, slashing our safety nets, and throwing taxpayer money ~~and~~ at private for profit organizations we're going to keep getting these waves of fascists taking over every other election
e; autocorrect is reactionary /s
Doesn't matter. The GOP hold all three branches of government and will do whatever he tells them to do.
Fun thing about the GOP is that they are all rats waiting for the ship to sink. The minute they see that trump is weaker/unpopular among their base, they'll jump ship and try to sell him out
I don't know how viable that actually is, a decade of Trump flags and Trump shirts and Trump merchandise, and decades of Trump branding everywhere before that. The Trump cult is in too deep.
The GOP winners will probably be the ones that poach the Trump brand as "we are Trump's chosen ones to carry out Trump's vision for America", until his cultural significance wanes.
The fact that he isnt even less popular than his last election scares me. The guy has proven himself time and time again in the spotlight to be evil, moronic, really any negative adjective you can think of, and he still has supporters. More, even. How? *
And the thing people are most upset about is renaming the Gulf. What in the absolute fuck?
Trans people are attempting to flee the country fearing for their lives
...and the thing people care about is the fucking Gulf of Mexico getting renamed
I need to know the content of the footnote.
I hope his old age makes his life extremely difficult.
Ngl, I hope he dies. Soon.
Would it make a difference? His VP is a white supremacist, too, and his party still controls both chambers.
Cults of personality don't transfer power well, generally. I think that is why Project 2025 was such a big deal for them since it gave structure even when trump dies.
His death would provide America's favorite gender-neutral toilet, so that's something.
And the VP is already third in command. Fifth if you count Putin and Thiel.
And yet he still got re-elected. We are the dumbest nation comprised of the most idiotic people to ever exist in history.
Trump about to ban the Telegraph in the US
Trump about to add 50% tariffs to the UK in retaliation for this story.
It's like a bingo game, but a new one starts every 120 minutes
Note approval ratings in the USA start with Truman so this is the lowest approval rating period.
Lame duck (maybe), so I don’t think he cares about popularity. He’s pushing out EO’s as fast as he can, and many of them are idiotic.
So he’s more popular this time than last time
Why?
We're fine with kicking out all the Mexicans but don't you dare call that water something else. Classic America.
