I will maybe make an exception for boomers. Fuck the lead-brained "me first" generation.
Hear hear!
Maybe they should stop rizzing and gooning and do their fucking homework before voting (or not voting).
Treat it like a fucking video game if you want. The data is all there and readily available on the characters. The stats show that one character is way, way, way, way, way better. Choose that character.
It's not like both characters are equal, despite what a TON of dipshits and bots would like you to believe.
The good old FAFO. Zero sympathy for the MAGA voters and I do not wish them luck for the shitshow they created. Return your diplomas and recycle your asses.
Regret afterwards has replaced thinking through the consequences beforehand.
We're devolving as a species and it's probably intentional.
This is the ultimate goal of undermining education.
But how can they get more likes on social media by acting shocked and victimized if they make the intelligent decision and nothing bad happens as a result?
Drama = views. Seems like the only concept they've actually got a handle on.
It is a peculiar era in which we live - bad guys running the prisons putting good guys in the prisons... or worse.
Gee, it's not like we warned you, pointed to the pile of shit his first term was and how terrible things got, and before his first term we pointed to all the awful shit he did that he fucking bragged about doing, along with all his failed business dealings (how the fuck do you bankrupt a casino in Atlantic City?) and then pointed out all his shady connections to Russian oligarchs and criminal gangs with believable if difficult to prove implications that much of his income was built on laundering money.
But no no, he TOTALLY was going to do things right this time and lie with every other breathe.
I don't even feel sorry for you fucking morons anymore, if you voted for Trump there really is no excuse anymore.
There's no way around it, and I don't care if it's someone's family member that they love with all their heart that's always been kind to them.
Anyone that voted for Trump, ever, but especially the 2nd and 3rd time around, ranks among the dumbest humans to ever walk the face of this earth.
Profoundly dumb, at minimum, and likely also evil.
I fail to understand how most people can see the Trump grift from miles away, and others are completely blind to it 🤔
They aren’t blind, they just think they aren’t the ones being grifted.
Which is both a fundamental part of the grift and says a lot about people.
There are a lot of wealthy elite Republican Trump supporters who think installing an authoritarian regime will consolidate and extend their power. They don't see that authoritarianism means the only thing protecting them from a purge is the thought of it by the leader. Their wealth, power and privilege, CEO or Senator, mean precicely shit. Just look to Saudi Arabia China or Russia to see how fragile power is.
They voted for him again, anyway, and then they blamed "boomers. Hopefully, they'll change their vote.
In 2016, Trump promised to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. Over the course of his presidency, he followed through on this catastrophic commitment, stacking the federal judiciary with staunch abortion opponents, including three Supreme Court justices who voted in 2022 to overturn Roe and with it the federal right to abortion in a case called Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
And then the morons blame Biden for it because he was president when the supreme court made that ruling.
The Gen Z Trump voters might be the dumbest people on the planet right now. Genuinely.
Like, you expect the boomers to be stupid and impressionable, because ::gestures around::, but not the younger folks.
These people will live with their shame for a lifetime.
Not sure someone unintelligent enough to vote for Trump can experience an emotion as complex as shame.
Realistically, others will be experiencing the shame for them for the rest of their lives while they continue to make poor decisions they feel no shame for.
That's the generation that grew up with the large social media sites in place, and the constant message there traditional media would be untrustworthy.
I think the key issue here is that, regardless of generation, most humans are stupid and impressionable.
I'm finding it difficult to understand why you think younger people are somehow less stupid and impressionable?
That's almost a by-definition sort of expectation here.
Young people are stupid and impressionable, just like how older people are less physically capable.
Impressionability is literally a defining aspect of being young and still having a developing brain. This is also why it's such a huge fight to corrupt our education system.
Have to look at Gen Z the way you look at every single institution and structure in the world right now.
Hope that they'll be okay, but make absolutely ZERO plans under the ASSUMPTION that they will. The preppers are right.
For people who are mad about voting for him, why did you do it? His first term confirmed that Trump is completely serious about what he says, it's not a joke or pandering, he's actually what he potrays himself as. He sits around the White House shitting his pants and demanding blow jobs.
They believed his lies. Kamala Harris promised nothing would change while Donald Trump promised change for the better. In those circumstances, it's easy to see how the gullible would pick the liar while the disillusioned stayed home. The Democrats threw away an easy slam dunk victory because they wanted to win with a marginal victory instead. They couldn't walk that tightrope and lost to an idiot.
“Trump Is the festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it is not but has always been arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it does not just lose its soul it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader. The Trump regime this carnival of third-rate strongmen, grifters, sycophants, and sadists is not innovating anything. It is copying. It is importing the authoritarian model wholesale. They have read the Putin playbook, dog-eared the best parts, and now they are running it in real time. And the cruelty? That is not a flaw in the system. That is the system. Trump, a failed businessperson and serial conman, did not stumble into power because he had a vision. He stumbled into it like a raccoon into a jewellery store: overwhelmed, opportunistic, and desperate to grab everything shiny before the lights come on, He brought with him a gang of similarly hollow, self-serving goons parasites in flag pins who recognized that brute force and spectacle could serve as a perfect cover for mass-scale corruption. All they needed was enough boots, enough masks, and enough Americans too scared or too exhausted to resist. Americans must avoid being overwhelmed by the torrent of frightening moves the Trump administration has made. Instead resist the paralysis that might result from that torrent, for the sake of both you and our patriotic predecessors who fought for freedom and defeated fascism in Europe in World War II.”

They did it because it gave them a good feeling that they could express their toxic behavior with impunity. Also, they hate brown people, immigrants, women, anyone who isn’t white.
The first two quotes from the article are from a black man and a white woman. So I'm guesibg you didn't read the article.
2024, given how emotionally toxic, morally vacant, and psychologically mangled he is. I do not wonder anymore. He won for that exact reason. He was not a candidate. He was a mirror. If you were a racist, you found your guy. If you were a misogynist, you found your guy. If money was your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart was armoured shut, you found your guy. If you mocked disabled people, you found your guy. If you hated intelligent people, you found your guy. If you were a rapist, you found your guy. If you enjoyed golden showers with Russian sex workers, you found your guy. If you had done absolutely nothing to confront your emotional wreckage, you found your guy. If you were a serial cheater, you found your guy. If you were a perpetual bankrupt, you found your guy. If you stiffed honest workers, you found your guy. If you were a conman, you found your guy. If you mocked people’s appearances, you found your guy. If you longed for a toxic Daddy, you found your guy. If you were dissociated and disembodied, you found your guy. If you were unconscionable in every economic dealing, you found your guy. If you lied as naturally as breathing, you found your guy. If you had never eaten a green vegetable, you found your guy. If you were a white supremacist, you found your guy. If your ego contained a hole so large not even the presidency could fill it, you found your guy. If you were a sociopath who cared not one molecule about other humans, you found your guy. If he had only two of these traits, he never would have won. He won because he had hundreds of them, and millions of people recognized themselves in at least one. This has never been about Trump. It has always been about the people who finally had their worst instincts validated. Trump did not create the cruelty, he licensed it. He handed out permission slips for hate. He is merely a symptom of a far deeper disease: collective toxicity. If there is one sentence that explains Trump’s power, it is this: “He says the things I’m thinking.” That is the part that should chill the spine. Who knew that tens of millions of Americans were thinking such unconscionable things about their fellow citizens? Who knew how many white men felt so threatened by women and challenged by minorities that they were ready to torch democracy to feel big again? Who knew that after decades of apparent progress on race and gender, so many people were living in seething resentment, waiting for a demagogue to legitimize their worst selves and convert their bitterness into political power? We were living in a fool’s paradise. We aren’t anymore." — Michael Jochum
