Then why y'all so scared of Trump winning?
I don't even understand how your question follows the post at all.
If things are so good, why do people want to change it
Their vote still counts the same as yours. Calling them stupid does nothing nor explains anything. It's a thought stopping comment. Do better.
As a single father of two girls, because Trump appointed judges to the Supreme Court who decided to repeal Roe vs Wade. Because he refused to accept the outcome of an election and maintains to this day that he is the duly elected President of the United States. Because he illegally interfered with military aid Congress had apportioned to Ukraine because Zelensky was unwilling to announce investigations into Hunter Biden. The man has lived his whole life with a silver spoon so far up his ass it tickles his tonsils, but he has you convinced he is on your side.
Trump is a corrupt authoritarian hack who only wants the power of the office, he doesn't give a shit about anyone else.
But any criticism of Mango Mussolini is "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as if deep-throating his cock is the normal state of affairs and any dissent is treason.
Okay.
Because Trump will roll everything back and cause worse working and living conditions for minority groups, while compelling the GOP to push for extended term limits, arresting opponents and outspoken individuals under false pretenses and plain lies, and embolden the worst people we have in this country.
Now, your turn: Challenge me. If you want others to do better we sure as hell will expect that of you. Answer your own question.
*crickets chirping*
Pretty typical in my experience. If you want them to reply you often need to leave some crack in your reasoning that their cultish little minds can latch onto and run with to the absolute disregard of literally everything else.
Spit straight facts? Normally the only reply you'll get is one made to get under your skin, if they make any attempt at all.
GOP play book rule number whatever: Make your opponents spend the time and energy necessary to dispute you. Then ignore that and attack their character.
you asked the question. don't whine when you don't like the answer.
Forgive me for wanting an intelligent answer and not the slop you usually get on the internet
Okay
So much anger. You should get some therapy.
When I'm sure you'll be less angry when Biden wins.
Good for you champ
I'm so proud of you
Troll harder asshole.
I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far since I got you to reply
Troll harder asshole
Come on you can do better than that. Give it another try big guy. This time with more gusto.
That's a comment stopper. Do better.
I really hope the irony of this comment wasn't missed by cumskin_genocide
Very dry, I'm dying 😂
What's wrong with my username?
I was mostly going with how you went at them for not giving an essay, and then responding with a shit fling, but now that you mentioned it, i think you should bring up what your username is on your first day of therapy to give the doc a better idea of the work they'll have to do.
Also therapy just really isn't an insult. I've been in therapy for a decade and now my biggest problems are how many hearts I'm breaking each year.
But what's wrong with my username and why should I mention it in therapy?
I'm sorry that's between you and your therapist. I'm not here to violate HIPPA.
But you think I should go to therapy for my username
It's not my job to educate you.
But you know so much about me and why I should go. Please enlighten me so I can go to therapy and tell them why I need to be there.
Man I mean I should convince you not to go to therapy. Do you know how good that shit is? I swear, weed had NOTHING on the feeling of connecting with your emotions with a licensed professional to help give perspective to your life that you didn't have before. Like I've had great trips on shrooms or doing stupid shit while drunk, but like, recognizing the places you need to grow while accepting yourself for who you are? Fuckin sick dude. It's top tier shit. Expensive as fuck, but it's so worth it.

This is sealioning right here. Not when I stop you from dragging me off the point.
because the point of the post is that the media doesn't inform the people of these things.
also in a general sense, because the united states is a democraticâ„¢ country that doesn't elect the president by popular vote... you know, the way that trump would've lost the 2016 election?
Because there are a ton of single issue voters who ignore all of the good he's done because of the Israel thing, despite the fact that Trump would be exponentially worse.
There's no US politician that has any chance of being elected that would be any better about Israel. It all comes down to two things: Israel is our only real ally in the Middle East and AIPAC.
They could literally be building camps to gas Muslims and expanding their plans beyond Gaza and we'd likely still support them regardless of which party is in office at the time.
Yeah, I was going to point that out, but someone would have inevitably mentioned Bernie.
Bernie is great, but I think this is one of the things he'd inevitably have to compromise on, unless he somehow negotiated a new major ally in the Middle East that made Israel less vital to us.
Because of the sheer number of stupid/greedy people on the country
Maybe you should round them up and put them into camps.
Look out everyone, we've got a master edge lord in our midst!
Oh how original! No one has ever made that dumbass comparison before in the history of the internet! You must be so proud!
Can I answer for someone outside the US?
The only reason why I might be OK with Trump winning is that, perhaps, if you experience "fascism light" at the hand of an absolute dimwitted toddler, the damage might be reversible.
Just think about that... Any country wishing to destabilise the US, and destroy trust with allies, etc. Trump is peeeeerfect.
except, we've already done that. That was Trump 1.0
Trump 2.0 includes Project 2025, which is hard core, far right extremism. The Handmaid's Tale level of fascism.
Because tr-mp is evil.
