Brexit is still delivering all the "I told you so"s. It's less fun than it sounds.
Yeah, people keep saying "This time they'll see!" But, aside from the occasional "leopards ate my face" moment, the same people keep lining up for more of the same.
And much of the consequences are sloughed off on the people who are fighting hardest against it.
They're fucking around, and we end up finding out.
Oh, don't worry, on a long enough timeline, everyone ends up finding out. It's just that if they were capable of figuring it out, this all would have been avoided in the first place.
It's been nearly 10 years and we're still getting fucked by it.
I was in the US for the first trump election and in Britain for Brexit. And now I’m back in the US for this shitshow. It’s like I can’t escape the crazy – it’s following me.
Or maybe it’s all my fault and I’m a bad talisman. I dunno, just please make it stop.
What does it mean and whats the context? Actually curious as an ignorant non spanish speaking EU person.
In English, it's more or less telling people to "enjoy what you (all) voted for".
ah yes, the illusion of my vote mattering in my state, topped with an icing of illusion of the candidates undemocratically selected by my party representing my views in any way whatsoever. But I'm told it was on me to get off my couch and go vote for one genocider or one that was very likely a genocider, but also a complete fascist nutter. Both choices have broken laws that should have put them behind bars for the rest of their lives.
Really, this is all my fault. Why am I so terrible?
There are a lot of things to be said about Trump, but we've actually had positive headlines regarding genocide heading into his presidency, and it's no coincidence that the ceasefire in Gaza will go into effect when he takes office. Genocide Joe is just going to stack corpses until they wheel him out of the White House.
I don't say this pretending that there isn't likely some profit in it for Trump, because we saw in his first term that every decision he makes profits him financially in some way, but grift is better than more dead civilians.
It's no coincidence like it's no coincidence that paying extortion money avoids broken kneecaps.
Its well documented that Netanyahu and Trump are buddy buddy. I guarantee you the timing was to some degree chosen explicitly to benefit Trump. Netanyahu is doing the kinds of things over there that Trump is just itching to do here. (or in Canada or in Mexico)
If Trump gets any credit here it's for being every bit as moustache-twirling-evil as Netanyahu such that their worldview and interests will tend to align.
I'd like to argue with that, but you are factually correct.
I hope you understand I was only translating the phrase. I agree with the sentiment toward the MAGOOs, but everyone else is a victim of their idiocy.
Edit: I meant to write MAGAs but MAGOOs at least makes me laugh.
I kinda like magoo vs maga. It feels a little like something someone's old-world Italian uncle would have called a person in anger and disdain.
Still pretty fun not being in the UK. Though I do feel bad for everyone not having voted for this shit.
I don't think it's exactly going to be fun, I just know the only pleasure that's left is schadenfreude.
Yep, even though millions died, we are not saying I told you so cause them idiots doubled down on it and got so obnoxious that the I told you so energy died.
