Watson is getting irritated by what she hears from the new president. “I’ll give it a little more time,” she said. “But I’m not really sure about Trump anymore.”

Girl, it’s been 5 days since you gave him your vote. And when the time you’ll “give” him is up, what then?

She said she’s ready to go to Washington to tell lawmakers not to roll back Obamacare.

You have absolutely no fucking clue what type of government you just helped elect.

I do not wish harm on this lady, but it seems that the registered voters in the USA need to experience the harm they’re doing before they will wise up.

I’m sorry that so many Americans need to learn this lesson the hard way, and I’m especially sorry for those who are in this situation despite voting against it.

I’m not an American citizen, but I worry about you all.

… You do remember these are the same people that went unvaccinated and unmasked during COVID and took dewormer for a viral infection, right?

I used to think the same thing and there are people that change their minds. But for a lot of people in the trump cult if something doesn’t work out well they will find a way to blame it on the libs. They are quite practiced in circular logic thanks to their religion.

Yeah, I haven’t seen anything about the ACA lately, he gave up on trying to fuck that now I hope. I hate that people think “I want to pay less taxes” then someone says, we can put in a healthcare system that cuts your income taxes by 10% and gives everyone free healthcare and you no longer have co-pays and BS about figuring out of a $5000 deductable before coverage starts is even worth paying. And they say “No”

Well lobbyists told propaganda machine to tell me it’s bad, so I’ll stick with paying higher taxes and pray I’m healthy forever.

And I hope she’ll lose that. She’ll go bankrupt, suffer, and die.

Sucks, but that is what you chose for you. More importantly, that is the fate you chose for others too, so fuck you and die. I don’t care. You suffer and die. It’s what you deserve.

For years I’ve been the one to be anti punch a Nazi, keep talking, keep reasoning, win their hearts and minds.

I’m done. Most people are too retarded to think for themselves and (more importantly) for others. I’m actually in favor of restricting voting to people who have had enough education, and said education REQUIRES learning about how populism works, how fascism works, and how government decisions should be based on science. While at it, bad religion. Anyone needing to believe in faeries should not also have the right to vote based off what the faeries want, fuck that.

Pardon my french here, pardon my coldness here, but I’m done with it.

Last trump over a million American people died due to trump not doing shit about covid because it would make him look bad. Forget the insurrection, he caused at least hundreds of thousands to die needlessly. He’s a fucking mass murderer by proxy in the lefela of (hate to pull that name in) Hitler. AND PEOPLE VOTED FOR THAT.

If you’re too dumb to understand that you shouldn’t vote for a convicted criminal who was convicted multiple times for fraud and self enrichment, then you should not have any right to vote

I don’t care who you vote for, it’s fair enough to want certain things that other don’t, but you don’t vote for criminals, you don’t vote for populists, you don’t vote for people who openly want to be a dictator.

That said, laws must be out in place for that too. You’re convicted of fraud? Bye-bye, and never come back. You flirted with dictators? Bye-bye.

Get rid of first past the post and winner takes all and electoral college too, sure, and get ALL money out of politic, but FFS, get rid of voters who as a baby were already too dumb to find the tit to nourish themselves. You do not deserve to have a vote in how a country, any country, is run.

This “but muh rights!” Is bullshit. You want the right to vote? Fucking earn it. Study. Study history, study politics in different countries and your oen, study how shit went off the rails.

Ooohh, ban partisan media, all of it, completely. Fuck fox news, burn that building of lies to the ground. Fuck the conspiracy podcasts, burn them, outlaw them. Nothing NOTHING good has ever come from them. Media must be paid by a completely independent group that gets its finance from the government. They pay media companies to employ journalists who do actual investigation and by law have to be independent, and truthful.

But voting should no long be a right. It should be a duty. Once you can vote, you MUST vote, or get penalized. You can only vote of you study if you actually KNOW what you’re voting for. Free voting had been an abysmal failure.

And this poor woman? I literally hope you will suffer and die. It will be exactly what you deserve, it’s what you condemned the entire world to, so you “enjoy” what’s coming for you

People get scammed. It’s sad. They make bad decisions, self-destructive choices, and they’re too stubborn to learn. She probably will die, but we don’t need to wish for it.

I mean if we’re making up fantasy outcomes, why not just ban conservatism?

The electoral college is never, ever, ever going away

But seriously: this is why Harris lost. You people would rather sit around on the internet mocking some dumbfuck for not voting the way you demanded than spend a half second looking at yourself and figure out why telling people they’re stupid didn’t turn into votes.

If half of America is stupid racist misogynists then you either need to figure out what you have in common with them, or you need to get comfortable the other way of neutralizing them.

Nazis didn’t stop Nazi-ing because liberals elected a center-right candidate. They stopped because a million Communist men died shooting a million Nazi men in Stalingrad. Mussolini didn’t leave office because he was sad someone called him weird, he left because Audisio shot him and strung him up with piano wire

I wish we could just hand wave the bad people away, but that’s not how the world works. If you think that having to drive to another state to get an abortion is a “dark future,” you need to get a history book
