Well a plurality did vote for this after he was convicted of crimes and they saw what he did in the first go around.

    a plurality did vote for this after he was convicted of crimes and they saw what he did in the first go around.

    A lot of the exit polling suggested that most Trump voters who switched from supporting Obama and Sanders, really had no idea what was going on with Trump, his family, their legal accusations and literally everything else we all know.

    They did not actually remember anything about the first round, because so very much of the USA is vast, vast swaths of millions of people working 7 days a week to afford having children in a suburban people-hatchery, and we have a capital system that has been given full, unrestricted access to our brains, eroding our attention-spans and desire to feel engaged with anything for more than 20 seconds.

    This is what we’re fighting, not just an angry mass of armed racist goblins, but a vast pandemic of apathy and boredom with literally everything. A banal army of shrugging masses who do not make critical judgements, because what has critical thought done for us? What does anything matter? Just look at what’s in front of you and cast your vote based on how you feel at the moment. This is the prevailing attitude, whether explicit or buried under layers of rationalization.

    Classic DARVO shit.

    It’s rampant these days, from assholes like Tucker saying if he turns fascist, it’s because the mean liberals made him do it, to the Murc’s Law media and the reactionary centrists blaming all of the excesses of the radical right wing/Republicans on liberals/Democrats.

    This literally absurd take is compounded in stupidity with the fact they acknowledge they’re being pieces of shit and opt not to change.

      Oh guillotine, who we art in need

      Hallowed be thy memory.

      Thy victim be screaming

      Thy blade be falling

      To Earth as it was in the sky.

      Give us this day our daily justice

      On Earth

      As it was deserved.

      And lead us not into despair.

      But deliver us from Republicans.

      For thine is the hope, the justice, and the revenge.

      Forever and ever.

      Amen

      It’s what dictatorships do.
      The question is which of the numerous pieces of shit children that the orange child rapist vomited out of his tiny mushroom dick do you want to take over the leadership when Dictator Donvict finally has the inevitable heart attack?

    That didn’t happen.
    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
    And if it is, that’s not my fault. <--- You are here
    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
    And if I did, You deserved it.

    Plurality of voters.

    Only ~64% of voters voted in 2024…

    “None of the above” would have won the most votes if everyone voted, but that’s not how the system works
