Yep, Trump’s going to fuck over everyone but the rich. Just like he did the last time. It’s gonna be a long four years.

“I don’t care about you, I just want your vote” - Trump June 9th 2024 in Las Vegas

He wasn’t kidding you braindead morons.

4 years? Lol you act like this has an end date.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

For trump? Yea it does, dude is in terrible physical health. He's a walking heart attack.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Sure, but I meant fascism.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I'm sure he'll have a heart attack. But I don't think we're lucky enough for him to go out before his term.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

We can dream right?

According to the picture, Jesus will help them out though. All handled.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 32 points 2 weeks ago

They are going to deport Jesus, though. That's not going to help them at all.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus wasn't ha-wite, so they probably would.

hateful, racist assholes. the whole lot of 'em. all they care about is hurting certain segments of the population--even if it means they get a dose of their own poison. they simply do not care as long as 'them people' get it too.

As the saying goes, they will eat a shit sandwich if they think a liberal will have to smell it. Quite possibly literally at this point.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Way to go, dumbasses.

JFC. The people I feel the most for are the young children in such places. Subjected to complete idiocy from the adults.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

Gonna be blunt: zero sympathy for these dipshits.

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Same.

Consistently voting against their interests because they fall for culture war bullshit every time. The town will remain burdened but at least there won’t be drag queens reading books to children. Cause Muricah.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Fuckem.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

More and more people just want the American Experiment to end already.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

They will never notice and assume without evidence that someone else is to blame.

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago

GOOD
