I still can't quite believe people voted for 4 more years of headlines like this

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

I try to take heart in the fact that the majority didn't actually vote for him, but it's cold comfort, considering so many couldn't be bothered to vote at all.

We're kinda fucked.

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 years ago

The majority of people who actually voted did. Who knows what the rest really think, but at the very least they were fine with this.

We're mega fucked.

[-] rooster_butt@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Well ackshually! It was a plurality not majority. Not that it actually makes a difference...

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Still got less than 50%.

He did get the highest percent, but under half of voters. Still fucking depressing, but as numbers were fully counted and confirmed his percentage steadily decreased.

Still fucked though, yes.

If it helps (it won’t), voter suppression has been working overtime since like 2012. My ballot didn’t come until the 8th of November, and I couldn’t spring for a surprise voting day flight home. For more local citizens, things like making them wait six hours and banning people from providing water are effective, not because people don’t care, but because people are concerned with immediate survival, so they might have to leave the line to go to work.

He wants to bring the stock market down, at least until he is in office. It's what he likes to use as a scoreboard. Since his move to easy federal deficit fell through, he needs to find othe means to be able to pump the market further into a bubble. Watch him change his tune as soon as he is in office. He will probably say, oh well Greenland and Panama decided to take a deal, so "Mission Successful!.... while he quietly releases J6ers and takes even more control of our politics behind the curtain.

[-] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Take heart; you are slightly less fucked than Hezbollah

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 28 points 2 years ago

I'm sure people now see that it's all Hezbollah behind the failed coup and Trump is the only one that can fight them! /s

[-] IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

The people who voted for this don't read the news because they have their heads up their asses, blissfully unaware what goes on in the world. And will blame the dems for anything bad in their life.

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

His key to winning this time relied heavily on people who don’t pay attention and who don’t usually vote.

So he's going to pardon Hezbollah on day one?

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 55 points 2 years ago

The same attack he called a "day of love" yesterday?

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 years ago

He frequently takes all sides of every issue so his moronic supporters can cherry pick quotes in retrospect and claim he was right all along. He's been doing it since 2016. They think it makes him "smart". America will get what it voted for.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

I was gonna ask about the loving Hezbollah patriots, too

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It was a multifaceted day, to be sure 🥴

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago

Wait, was it a peaceful day of love, or was it a Hezbollah plot? Were they unfairly persecuted in a witch hunt, or were they terrorists?

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

If they were liberals masquerading as Trump supporters, why did he say that he'll pardon them?

[-] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago

It was also Antifa bussed in by George Soros.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

Oceania has always been at war with Hezbollah.

Makes total sense to me.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 years ago

Ah yes - remember all those convicted Jan 6 insurrectionists who turned out not to be magas? (Me neither.)

Gravette, Arkansas, 20 minutes from my house, is a Hezbollah stronghold. Amazing. Who knew.

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Excited to see if he pardons Hezbollah

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago

we have to find out about who, exactly, was in that whole thing,

You and maga extremists, those were in that whole thing. You invited everyone by tweet, remember you narcissistic alzheimer maniac?

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just 12 more days until he literally the second most powerful man on earth. (musk is obviously topping Trump. Figuratively and literally.)

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years ago

What's the breaking point gonna be for this country? Specifically, the point at which the general public will actually care

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

When it hits their wallet same as always. What actually got is civil rights? Stopping enough business that businesses said enough let them have it so we can get back to work. That said that was back when pinks would get openly shot at and bombed.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The largest march in the history of the US happened on his last inauguration day. People care.

They're just up against a very rigged and heavily armed system that routinely kidnaps and tortures folks who try to stop them.

[-] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The DOJ didn't care for the last 4 years, why should anyone else even think any of it was real? It's too late already America!

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The Witholding of aid for California thing looks very.... Seeds of a sparking a civil war....y

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

So.... He's gonna pardon Hezbollah?¿

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

Hezbollah?

I mean, if were just adding random groups...

Are you are the Grinch wasn't involved too? Or maybe Klingons?

I know Trump says dumb unfounded things on an hourly basis but this one is a top ten level stupidity comment

Without a shred of evidence, of course

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago

Wait, he's claiming to be Hezbollah?

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No, Hezbollah acted on their own to make him look bad -- the Lone Towelhead Theory. Unless the Biden Crime Family set it up using Hillary's email server. Or was it Obama all along?

I'm hella tired so I thought this said Hellova boss

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

And then a spaceship landed, and little aliens came out and went all "Bing badabing!" (That, by the way is LITERALLY how that guy imitates gun sounds)

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

time to turn off the TV folks. you though 2016 was bad. Reality is a subjective term now.
