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.
He won with 1% of the vote, 35% of eligible voters stayed home.
There were a whole lot of low-info voters and certainly a lot of idiots fell for that gEnOcIdE jOe nonsense, too.
People think that "politics doesn't matter" or fall for the "bothsides" thing honestly think it doesn't matter if someone like donvict gets into office...and unfortunately all of us are likely to find out...
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
So he’s more popular this time than last time
Why?
Because the electorate is about 51% morons and self-interested people willing to let the country burn for tax cuts that will only benefit about 5% of them.
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.
I honestly think there will be spontaneous dancing in the streets or wherever people are at if they learn of donnie's passing.
I'm waiting to watch Tea Party 2.0. If donvict dies or in some other way the spell breaks like it did under Dumbya....they'll pretend they "never heard of her" when it comes to donvict, and you suddenly won't be able to find any Republicans.
That's until they find their next China White to mainline. They ain't gonna settle for the likes of Romney and Jeb, that's for sure. They'll need someone even worse than donvict. They went from Ronnie Raygun - who was just fucking awful already, to W (arguably worse, though he probably did less damage than Ronnie Raygun), to diaper donvict.
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? *
Because people in this country have the memory of a fucking goldfish. I'm sure it's going to drop hard in a week.
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.
And yet he still got re-elected. We are the dumbest nation comprised of the most idiotic people to ever exist in history.
Let's just hope that we don't use that position to terrorize other nations further than we already have
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.
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.
This. The demons behind Project 2025 that hate democracy and hate the Constitution are trying to get as much rammed through as possible because they know he won't last forever and the likelihood of finding another stooge that has sway over the stupid people like donvict does is not great.
Vance? Elon - even if he could run - Vivek? LOL, give me a break, they have zero charisma.
And these stupid people won't go back to methadone like Jeb or Romney - they got pure China White as donvict and were mainlining his hatred. I'm not sure if the qons will be able to find another donvict. A whole lot of stupid people saw his dumb game show and really do think he's a businessman, and that "businessman == good".
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.
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.
