Did it to ourselves
I did not. I did my damnedest in order to try and inform everybody who was around me. I try to help bring up all of the aspects and all of the problems. Our biggest failure is all those who didn't even vote. Not those who did but those who couldn't even be assed to get off of theirs and go out and fill out the form. But let me Tell you what this administration did Nazi coming.... My unadulterated ass now being even more bold and happy just telling them to fuck off. Might as well start feeding them the same bullshit they've been doing to us for the last eight years. I am now refusing to do absolutely anything involved with anything that they want done I am going to drag my dick on everything and anything I might construe as being helpful to their cause. I'm going to bitch and moan as loudly as possible . I'm going to be the most cantankerous pain in the ass that anybody has ever come across.
That orange fuck can get stuffed should have stayed in oompa loompa land maybe And I'm just saying maybe lighten up on the amount of tanning cream that he's using or at least tell his apprentices they need to slow up cuz we all know Mr tiny hands is incapable of squeezing the fucking bottle himself. Don't want to accidentally use too much energy might be construed as exercise and that might actually physically kill him God damn medical oddity. How can somebody eat that poorly and do literally nothing and still be walking around.
The biggest failure was the Democrats who nominated Biden in 2020. That primary was the last offramp that could have avoided a fascist takeover, either in 2024 or 2028, with Trump or a Trump clone.
The return of Trump might just have bought us another shot in 2028, but it's not looking like the Democrats have learned much. Trump has a lot of similarities to Hoover and, as bad a President as he was, he was great for Democrats and progressivism. If the Democrats can get their heads out of their asses, the Trump Presidency might open a path to save the country - assuming we survive it.
The fact that the Justice Department gave him enough time to tour around the country whining and crying, spreading his stolen election lies before they charged him is what won Trump the election. It's almost like they were in on it.
Edit: Clarity.
If Trump were in prison it would be someone else. Trump didn't start this fascist movement, he surfed it. Trump is a uniquely detestable person, but he's not the worst President the Republican party could come up with.
Nah, it takes time to build up a cult of personality. What Republican could step into that role and stay in the news in the same way? Schwarzenegger? He can't be your president, name literally one other person.
Against Biden or Harris? I think you're overestimating how hard they were to beat. Another Republican might not win the popular vote but, unlike Democrats, Republicans don't need a mandate to get things done.
It doesn't really matter who against.
Any ideas? Not one name?
That's an unfair question. It's just too easy to nitpick reasons why this candidate or that could never win. Just look at the list of very convincing reasons why Trump could never win. Most Democrats even believed most of them before Hillary flopped.
Nikki Haley would probably be their best choice, though I could see Marco Rubio or Lindsey Graham. Hell, Matt Gates could probably win. He's no more horrific than Trump.
Yeah maybe Haley. All of those people did have a major failure on one point, they decided to punch up at some point. Trump doesn't punch up, he insinuates he's an equal to people he perceives to be more powerful than him. He'll fondle the balls so he can reap the benefits of that power.
Have you forgotten the Obama birth certificate fiasco?
I'm obviously talking about consolidated power among peers, not opponents.
DeSantis. Abbott.
For all of Trumps numerous flaws, he does have a type of charisma that no other Republican has. Trump manages to attract more people than just another Republican ghoul could. I honestly think without Trump we'd have had a much easier time winning.
Thanks Hillary and the DNC for signalboosting this piece of shit because you thought he was an easy opponent to beat...
President Musk would like a word
