Let’s not pretend here. Over half of America voted for him this time. Last time almost half of America voted for him.

This is America. You can blame russia, you can blame whoever, but still the end of the day this is America and Americans fault.

Go talk to the 60% of white people in this country who voted for him and make them realize that they are idiots and racists. Then maybe you’ll get a change.

Nope, less than half of eligible voters did in fact vote for Trump. This is quite less than half of America in addition.

63% of eligible voters voted in 2024 and 49% of the popular vote went to Orange Hitler.

155000000 out of 244000000 voters voted roughly. About 76000000 voted for the orange pedo, which is about 23% of the USA’s population of 336000000.

Not half the population. Using approximates:

US population: 345 million

Can vote: 245 million

Did actually vote: 156 million (63%)

Voted drump: Just over half (78 million or 50.5%) of those that voted

US population who voted for tangerine: Around 22%, or 1 in 4

US population who could vote and did vote for tangerine: 31%, or 1 in 3

Yeah propaganda exists but the point is that this is already who the US has shown themselves to be. It is and has been a racist oligarchy for as long as I’ve been alive, and most likely longer.

The second Obama won you had shitheads burning efficiency of him or hanging him from trees.

My point is it’s easy to blame Russian interference, etc. It’s harder to look inwards and realize that oh hey, this country is actually just not thatbgreat and we’ve been living on lies for the last 80 years.

It is deeply, deeply racist and always has been. It is deeply oligarchical, and always has been.

There is more in common with modern day russia than there is with any civilized 1st world country in western Europe.

No, you can blame propaganda telling those voters in safe states to stay home. So even tho Trump won the electoral college handily, those stupid fuckers fell for the crap because they’re fucking lazy and gave him both houses of Congress and a slew of right wing state level govts.

Non-voters paved the path for dicktaster Trump because so many people bitched and moaned about votes “not counting” (yes they fucking do, 99.99% of races aren’t the president) and propagandists picked up on that and amplified the hell out of that message.

Note: no evidence, just my own angry rant about my own observations of this last election

I don’t think it’s as bad as people think. We have all believed, believe, and will believe misinformation. It’s a part of being human.

You are prompted to check at some point; someone tells you you’re wrong, you are curious, things feel incongruous, whatever. You find out you’re wrong and you update your shit. Easy, life goes on.

But certain people seem to actively shop for rhetoric that will look good on their shelves. You tell them they’re wrong and they dig in. They usually have no filter and say their ideas out loud even if it denigrates others.

It’s like propaganda is a chemical being injected that binds with cancer cells so you can more easily see them with the naked eye. The chemical touches everything but it “reacts” with the cancer.

This. I wish they’d stop blaming others and take ownership of their vote, or choice to sit it out. Instead. everything from Biden, to Kamala following Biden, to the Dems being a mess, to whats happening in Ukraine and Gaza, etc seems to be more important. Fools.

It’s not weird to be self-contradicting when you are are solidly established as being full of shit. It drives me nuts for example when people say that it’s strange that Trump said X but is doing Y. It’s perfectly predictable, it’s not strange. Know your source and set your expectations.

Same goes for Chinese, Russians, Germans under Nazis. But Americans don’t have to be afraid to get vanished of they speak out, have free access to information and technically live in a democracy.

Yet the US is the biggest terrorist nation on the planet and has been for over a hundred years.

The GOP has 20 senate seats up for election in 2026, compared to the Dem’s 13. Flipping the Senate will be pretty easy, and getting within 1 vote of removing Trump from office will be technically possible.

All our efforts should be focused on ending the GOP in 2026. Make it such a bloody takedown that the remaining GOP gets on board with removing Trump in order to save the party.

That person will likely never change but it doesn’t matter. We need to focus most importantly on empowering and mobilizing those who are already against Trump and focusing on those who either don’t yet have an opinion on Trump (yes they exist), those who are on the fence about him and make our case. Expand our base.

For people in the don’t like Trump category we must teach them how effectively resist him. I think the single most important action is working on building a powerful opposition who will run in local races in 2025 and nationally in 2026. We must work to get as many Democratic votes as possible. Don’t sleep on 2025 because depending on where you live there could be judges up for election or election commissioners. It depends on where you live.

Democrats are toast. They couldn’t beat the easiest guy to beat two times in a row. Blow the whole party up, get rid of the corporate shills, make it an actual democratic left wing party instead of a right wing party and then maybe they’ll get some votes again

You don’t win by just saying ‘get more Democratic votes’.

Trump won because he convinced people he was a solution for the corruption. If you want votes for someone else, offer specific solutions to address those concerns. People are fed up with politicians. If you want to sway those votes to blue you’re going to have to offer something beyond business as usual.

There might be a need to focus on those that see your comment as super naive. Trump’s January 20th, 2025 “deportation” is the beginning of something completely different that the United States hasn’t seen since … I don’t know which US reign of terror against which minority to use as a comparison but yeah the idea of voting out a Hitler sounds so not in tune with the upcoming reality.

And there is no stockpile of weapons or warriors or whatever to take on the resources available to Trump transforming the Office of the President of the United States of America to the Throne of Trump.

I don’t find him worthy of referring by name either. As a cunt obsessed with two things, one of which is putting his name literally everywhere, he just gives needy and pathetic energy. He’s unworthy. There are so many better and more appropriate names you can call him anyway. Like orange pedo rapist.

If you wanna think we’re scared because it makes you feel less pathetic yourself, have at it, hoss. I hope you have fun riding that weird-ass high.

Yeah, but beinf assosciated with him is insulting to all the other Donalds out there and Donald is inside the top 20 most common boy’s names in the US over the period that most current adult males were born. I presume that’s why he hates it - it’s a common name, some might say a peasant name (despite it’s meaning).
