I didn't mind the bigotry, racism and anti-democratic scheming but this is where i draw the line.
Yeah they draw the line right in front of them. And they only notice someone crossing it when it hits them in the face.
You omitted pedophile rapist.
I didn't expect...
Good news everyone!
I've developed a nearly foolproof method for preventing anyone else from sharing this fuckin sucker's experience, and will share it here - free of charge - today only!
It's simple. All you have to do is ask yourself a single question: Does X effect Trump’s Y?
Replace X with the issue or item you're concerned with.
Then replace Y with one of the following: health | self-image | bank account | stock market
If your answer is 'No,' congratulations, you now know that Trump will indeed NOT give a single fuck about your problem. Also, it's probably some sort of peasant issue anyway.
If your answer is 'Yes,' you're likely still fucked somehow! 😁
That is a magnificent and I would wager highly accurate algorithm.
"We never expected that the guy who told us to fight Covid by eating horse paste and shoving UV lights up our butts wouldn't know a damn thing about science."
Give him some credit... he also suggested ingesting bleach. Technically it would have killed COVID and guaranteed the patient never got COVID or any other sickness ever again.
Just to clarify drinking bleach is probably less bad than what he actually suggested, which was injecting disinfectant.
"I just wanted a fifth columnist who would govern well according to my kaleidoscopic view of reality"
Jesus. That's exactly how some people operate. Every day. What the fuck is wrong with humanity.
We're naked monkeys evolved to live in small groups trying to run a system with several billion people. Humanity is a bit underspecced.
Actually he isn't allowed to run charities anymore because he ran a "Trump fund" for sick children, and...... it all went to Trump so..
Yeah he is Anti-Curing Childhood Cancer
"I didnt know the guy that literally stole money from cancer kids via a fraudulent charity, an act so depraved he is no longer to run any sort of charity, would take money away from cancer kids. GOD DAMN LIBERALS!"
i can excuse racism, but i draw the line at ~~animal cruelty~~ funding cuts!
This is my mother. In her 80s, racist AF, conservative, voted for Trump, has cancer, on Medicare, etc. Now she expresses her worry that Medicare funding will be cut. But she's also betting that because Musk is a "genius" he won't take benefits away from the elderly.
It's even worse/dumber than this, due to her federal unionized employment pension. Unions are apparently evil, despite her pension and paying for her Medicare B late enrollment penalties. The brain rot is really maddening and sad to see in person.
I don't know how the Democrats managed to ignore it when all the data they had made it very clear people didn't care about identity politics anymore. They're working 80-100 hours a week at three jobs for the privilege of housing their kids in a roach-infested studio apartment and they've seen their purchasing power diminish so much that they're having to choose between food, rent, and their prescription drugs.
Yes, they're unlikely to care about racism right now.
That'll happen when your basic, everyday existence is in survival mode, and it doesn't make them bad people. It makes them sad and desperate.
At least she voted.
Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. Where y'all at now? Fucking crickets.
No, actually, people who voted for Trump are worse than people who stayed home.
Until the Democratic Party stops excluding the Bernies of the world, elections like these are what we're going to get. No one believes Democrats will actually do what they say they're going to do, not even their own voters.
Until the Democratic Party stops excluding the Bernies of the world
So long as the entire corporate media system is poisoned against even the most mild democratic socialism of a 1980s-style left-liberal, the party isn't going to do that.
Go back and watch what happened in 2020 when Sanders won Nevada. MSNBC, the "liberal" news outlet had Chris Matthews wailing in fear at the prospect of being lynched in Central Park. FOX News was screeching about how the entire campaign had been infiltrated by Chinese Communists and Hamas Terrorists. I'm amazed Sanders didn't get the Harvey Milk treatment after he took California.
Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the progressive movement as a whole is entirely at odds with the Amazons and Starbucks and JP Morgan Chases that rule our world. Even in big blue states like New York (in big blue cities like NYC), progressives can't win the high offices, because the establishment is so nakedly hostile to economic populism. Bernie's own bright blue home state of Vermont voted in a Republican for governor by a Ba'ath Party 73/21 margin, rather than tolerate another Howard Dean style progressive Dem in that seat.
No one believes Democrats will actually do what they say they’re going to do
Joe Biden to rich donors: "Nothing would fundamentally change" if he's elected
I believed him. I believed statements like this paved his road to victory in 2020.
That would mean the DNC forever losing control of the party and therefore the rich losing control. They won't let that happen even if it ends this country.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
It's true. All those people who willingly didn't vote and are complaining can get fucked.
The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid. - Art Spander
And here we are :)
Don't be fooled. Most of the people who voted this way haven't figured it out yet.
"I'm shocked that the guy who only cares about himself, is doing things that only personally benefit him"
I knew he was going to hurt poor people, trans people, immigrants, US citizens born of immigrant parents, US citizens of color, women, children, and even people in need of healthcare and research. that was all fine. it was fun, actually, i made fun of them online, and tried to rub it on their face after the election as much as possible.
... but I didn't think he would also hurt this very specific portion of them which also affects me.
fuck cancer, and fuck this guy. this guy is cancer.
You know what might have been a clue? The past!
If people are surprised, it's because they aren't paying attention, or they just think Trump is BASED until the ramifications show up at their doorstep.
I hope the eventually destruction of the federal government makes people realize how much it helps them.
Nah, they'll do the same as always: Find something or someone to blame that isn't themselves or their favorite ~~sports~~ political team, continue as usual.
Gotta keep us non-billionaires busy fighting each other. Wouldn't want the pitchforks (or Glock ghost guns) pointed at the actual CEOs and politicians robbing the country.
They're gonna blame the dems for anything bad, and their base is gonna rally behind that.
Isn't funding cancer research "big government"?
"Big government" means thinking the government is bigger and more expensive than it needs to be.
When all the government needs to do is keep me happy then any program which I understand benefits me is vital and any which doesn't is "big government"
It will be difficult to "out villain" this administration in most people's imagination.
No you don't get clout for regretting your clearly terrible decision.
I know we're all going to suffer, but Im particularly glad those who voted this way are slowly starting to realize how they or their love ones will.
Anxiety is the worst part about any major change
elon is the kind of dipshit who probably holds the belief that the commoners' cancer can be compensated with a higher birth rate. People are just a resource to him.
Nauseating to see this tiny man claim to want to go to mars when he can't even crawl out of his own ass.
The bad shit hasn't even started yet.
I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say "No, this is fucked. He needs to go."
At least 30% of the population has drunk the Kool-Aid and is so deep in, nothing, not anything, will turn them from their God King.
"Oh, buddy...you think that's bad, just wait till next year!
...I mean... If you're still around then."
Why would you expect that he wouldn't? He defrauded a KIDS cancer organization. He doesn't give a fuck about anyone that isn't him
Good time to remind everyone that both parties support banning the Cuban cancer vaccines and Chinese diabetes cures from import to the US.
We need to remove the capitalists from power to get access to modern medicine for the general public.
