Bingo. The party of stupid, obstinant assholes was elected by the stupid, obstinant asshole electorate.

No point in hiding for 4 years, shits not going to be the same when you come out. The only thing we can do is get the fuck out or stay and fight. Shit’s gone get real bad if we all just hide. Pretty much what caused the issue since I feel like we all have been since Covid.

No, turnip will never face a consequence. Never.

I’m not religious but I am starting to wonder.

america will never be progressive and elections, while might be held in ‘28 there’s a model out there turnip is already looking to import. why do you think he’s crowing about orban and putin all the time?

It’s easy to keep rewinding until you find the one place we went wrong. Turnips first election, what we let bush get away with, Clinton’s turn of the party, electing Reagan, Nixon…. There always the one thing, there’s always the one weird trick.

We have a broken garbage system that has failed. We’re in for some shit.

unfortunately I've come to the conclusion that nearly half of this nation is comprised of idiots.

it's fucking absurd where we are 12 days from the election. the fix is in, and those who claim to love this country, clearly hate it. I don't care what happens in the election, this nation is cooked.

for my first job one of the responsibilities was cleanup after the overnight bakery shift. I used to have to clean out a walk-in oven, usually still warm, always freaked me out a little. That poor, poor girl, that poor, poor family. Simply terrible and tragic.

truth be told, the only reason I would be even remotely interested in the device is the stupid laser projector. Seems like that might be fun to play with.

turnip is turnip, just because he doesn't exactly display the hallmarks of a previous person, doesn't mean he's not also a thing. he's populist because he's running an empty campaign with no actual plans. there's nothing behind any of the things he's promising, he's just promising them because he thinks it can get him elected.

I mean, he's promised no income tax, tax breaks, no tax on tips, etc. none of it is backed by any policies, only, "trust me, it's gonna be great". when I talk populist, I mean specifically this sort of behavior, I don't think for one second that he actually cares about enacting any of it short of doing things that will make people like him. I honestly believe that once the rubber meets the road, and he either does his mass deportations and the nation suddenly realizes why it's a terrible idea or he doesn't because it's such a stupid idea and his mouthbreathing supporters turn on him. repeat ad nauseam for any of the other insane things that he's promising.

the same argument can be made that he's not a fascist, he's not doing exactly the same things as previous fascist regimes right?

so we may be getting hung up on semantics here, I'm not always the best with smart brain words.

well, I didn't say there would be a civil war. I can't say I can forsee all the mechanics but as far as I'm concerned, there is a slow motion coup happening now. do you think for one second that they won't try to do everything possible to rig things in their favor, do you think for one second that they are not already trying?

In the end, a populist agenda like he's running, where he will say and promise anything to anyone, simply cannot be worked. his base isn't even a majority but the stupid system we have will let minority rule. so, I simply do not believe enough americans will fall in line, his obstinate supporters aren't capable enough of holding the system together. I wish I knew what the fate would be, I just don't see a good one.

Again, I am 100% hoping that I'm full of shit, that I'm deranged and paranoid. I honestly hope this is a me problem.

I can't say I'm surprised, harris has blown the narrative. but I am saddened by the fact that Arabs think turnip is a better option, I think it's a plain as day what he thinks and plans for the next administration. I am feeling very pessimistic these days.
