Again, I ask, if Trump is such a threat to democracy and Jan. 6th was so bad, how come you let the fucker get elected?
What country would tolerate the president sicing his mob on officials let alone reelect the fucking guy BACK to the highest office of the land?
I asked a friend of mine and they said Biden couldn't do anything because it would start a civil war.
Ah, well, nevertheless.
Literally gave the president the power to drone strike Trump for free and it's too uncivil.
Good, except this time reconstruction will last a century and change.
A fascist country founded on greed, war and vanity. It was rotten from the start. Donald Trump reflects the true values of the USA perfectly, of course the people want him.
Fascism starts in the streets.
it's the country whose only opposition party tried to emulate trump's party so much that it drove away their own voters.
to put it into perspective: trump gained votes roughly equivalent to population of las vegas; but harris lost roughtly 5x the entire state of nevada's worth of voters compared to biden. (las vegas resides in the state of nevada and las vegas makes up roughly 20% of the state of nevada's population).
I suggest always using the "metro area" population for cities in most cases, as the division between a city and a "suburb" is almost always a political one, rather than an economic one.
An outsider who had never been to LV before or looked at a political map of the area would not walk/drive around and then conclude that it is a city of 600k people. Not to mention that the Vegas strip that is the economic focal point of the city is not even in city limits.
(Particularly in North America) City limits are developed for the purposes of "superstructuring" class society, they don't really exist on their own terms. A proper [socialist] government would incorporate key metro areas into a strong regional government to smooth this out.
Unironically, I think if Biden declared Trump a terrorist/aid to terrorism, and had him detained without trial in Guantanamo, Kamala would've won by a landslide.
Kamala would have lost, because most people in the US would write-in Joseph Biden
Civility is back
But it's voting for Hitler instead.
"I want cheaper gas and eggs"
"No please, I just want to make student debt forgiveness dependent on owning and operating a small business in an impoverished area for 5 years!"
Would rather lose to a fascist than stop killing children in Gaza, tbh
Libs are really breaking their elbows today patting themselves on the back for politely letting the guy they screamed is a fascist for years smoothly take all political power from them.
USA is a functional democracy (unlike all the socialist states that are so unstable their leaders always end up assassinated by the CIA)
I'm sure millions reluctantly voted for Trump the same way millions reluctantly voted for Kamala. That's the point of bourgeois democracy right
Maybe occupied Korea but that's just a colony of the USA anyway.
It's all just sloganeering, I bet the Dems hired a really expensive advertising firm to come up with it. They needed something really big and scary to paint Trump, all to avoid the fact that under the Dems/Biden, inflation is crazy, and there's a major War and Genocide going on.
I agree with Finkelstein, Trump is a dangerous rightwinger, but the dangers of fascism is highly exaggerated. Remember Fascism is the bourgeoisie's response to a threat from strong Left/Socialist/Communist movement. There is no Left movement in the US that threatens the US bourgeoisie, the opposite, they are still reaping huge profits.
I've been asking the same thing the past few years. The fact that libs never even question something this obvious is astounding to me
Ask Elon and Starlink how
Why are you not storming the Capitol today then?
Oh i love this. The liberals are gonna start pretending Trump stole the election after spending the last 4 years feigning being upset about Trump and his idiot followers doing the exact same thing lmao. There really is no difference between your two teams.
"hello mister starlink, can you explain how an unlikeable candidate with exactly zero primary votes who alienated her voter base by supporting genocide, offering no solutions to people's worsening material conditions, and campaigning with Liz fucking Cheney could have possibly lost?"
Oh what it's a big conspiracy and the election was stolen by Trump this time around? Please. You guys ran the worst candidate in the history of modern elections and ate shit. As much as I hate Musk his dumb ass didn't do shit.
Damn, you should do something about it then
yes, you should kinetically "ask" billionaires why they let a man be elected after their media organs called him mecha-hitler 2000 for a decade
fuck me, you're so close
do something about it
Or the dems just ran a terrible election with a terrible candidate off of a terrible president
Political power grows out the barrel of a gun.
my bad i forgot to pokemon go to the polls
