If it's just like the first term, why did you morons elect him a second time, is the only question worth asking.

That laundry list of rhetorical questions was predictable by anyone with an IQ of more than one digit since before Temu Hitler was first elected.

Seeing him re-elected was so much worse than seeing him elected for the first time. My stomach actually lurched, and I'm on the other side of the ocean. Un-fucking-believable that a significant part of voting age adults can be so ... boneheadedly dumb? Deliberately ignorant? Willingly hateful to the point of violence against fellow Americans? I struggle for words.

edit: also the whole stop the steal bs culminating in Jan 6 '21

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 42 points 2 weeks ago

I still have my doubts about the legitimacy of the results.

[-] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 13 points 2 weeks ago

This is how I feel as well, the projection about the election being stolen without any evidence being given is their silent way of bragging they got away with something…what and how is to be determined.

They're legitimate in that more voters actually chose Trump over Harris.

The Republican party also engages in a fuckton of gerrymandering, voter suppression, voter caging, intimidation, etc. to reduce voter output. And then there's the EC which puts races for President squarely in the hands of a few battleground states.

Then there was vast social media campaigns by interests both foreign and domestic. Many of them are just to confuse the issues and discourage voting. But that's on top of the massive far-right propaganda machine.

Far-right propaganda (such as the whole of FOX News programming) has gotten really good at turning low-education men into obedient war boys for the MAGA movement. They appeal to their desire to be significant, then isolate them in an information silo and then feed them the MAGA ideology.

Then there's Elon Musk, who was a considerable factor all his own. One analysis looked at Musk's $250 million campaign contribution to Trump, including paying people to register to vote. His money flipped about 30,000 votes in key districts at the cost of about $1000 per vote.

Eighteen months later, courts are saying that what Musk did may have been illegal, but the election is over. Trump is President, and we have to live with that. And Musk is beyond the reach of law, so we can't expect accountability.

Musk can do the same thing thousands of times, and the ownership class is interested in subverting democracy more than just in the US. This figures largely in why several economists, including Nobel laureates are saying that our ultra-wealthy are a catastrophic existential risk for the human species. That the only way out of this mess is to take their wealth back and redistributed it to the rest of the population.

Yeah, the re election came with the revelation that a very very large portion of the population is extremely mentally dead.

It also erased any and all desire to "forgive and forget" or "try to turn people around" etc. Fuck those people. Forever. You votrd Trump, you can fuck right off forever.

And its annoying on a secondary level because at this point, Inpretty much assume anyone new I interact with is a fucking braindead asshole rascist loser by default. Its killed any and all optimism I had, and I used to be very very overly optimistic about everyone and everything.

I was visiting Disney and was sitting in the Hall of Presidents when his stupid animatronic took the stage and a good chunk of the audience started clapping and cheering….

I looked at my wife and realized we were fucked then.

[-] BlindPenguin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Probably all the decades of hard propaganda, American exceptionalism, dismantlement of education and so on. And it's not just the Maga crowd that is affected by that.

why did you morons elect him a second time

Terminally broken electoral and educational system + lots of cousin fucking rednecks who live in the right geographical areas.

[-] tankfox@bookwyr.me 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Lying to your face and abusing you is a dominance display. These people are dominant, and we are going to suck it up and do our jobs and support them in the lives they choose. We will be given scraps and told it's our fault, which it is because it's so much easier to scrape along in our lanes than try to change anything for the better and be punished for it by the ones who don't have to follow any rules.

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's true but being a serial liar is not an excuse for lying.

"Oh well he lies about everything so he's not accountable for anything"

[-] Waterpumpee@lemmus.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Guess fakenews, declining living conditions, biden giving up at a very poor timing (i think he just had long covid but yes it was bad), black woman as counter candidate with fake accent, immigration pressure, false promises, hiding behind religion (works in my country too to elect the biggest cunt as long they label themselves the dominant religion).

There is zero check in place to punish lying to voters.

The only promise his supporters actually wanted kept was that they would be able to hate openly and violently, without consequences

That's looking pretty good for them, so they'll be fine with everything else

It's the 'Murican way

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 34 points 2 weeks ago

Wdym tarrif checks are getting sent, some corporations are getting hundreds of millions of dollars!

Oh you thought tarrifs would be refunded to consumers? Why would they do that, it's the businesses that pay the tarrifs!

(This is all tongue-firmly-in-cheek, in case it is not painstakingly obvious)

[-] deft@lemmy.wtf 32 points 2 weeks ago

I'm still waiting to die of my vaccine these idiots have jumped back on the boat about I couldn't tell you how many stupid fucking posts I've seen of people declaring they were right.

It makes me so unbelievably mad.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

I also am pissed off about not being dead.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Also the same people that thought the government was using the vaccine registration to control us wants to be tracked for voting, ICE, abortion, flock etc.

Ah, actually, I phone called Mr. Trump last night and he explained everything to me bigly and very good, many people say the best explain, tremendous people.

The DOGE checks

DOGE checked, you were found unworthy (not billionaire enough)

tariff checks

Went to the people who paid the tariffs. Unfortunately they passed the original cost on to you, but will not be passing the checks on to you (see point 1).

The Greenland hospital boat

Became the Greenland ~~illegal~~ friendly helpful oil drilling operation.

10% APR on credit cards

The Trump family has 0% APR On their credit cards. You don't? Weird, must not be worthy enough.

my meds being 1500% cheaper

Easy, just switch meds. Ivermectin treats alles.

$2 gas

It'll be $2 soon actually (per liter, so you guys can stop using the imperial system). Also it already IS $2 per liter and more in Europe, so promise fulfilled actually.

the Epstein files

The Dow is over $50k, the Epstein files are currently not in existence. If the Dow falls enough, another country will need to be ~~bombed~~ helped against their oppressors.

reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open

Naw dog, that's part of Trump's new green new deal. Get everyone to stop using oil. It's actually part #2 of the master plan, which started with Putin attacking Ukraine.

cheaper groceries

Trump provided them*! You just have to move to NYC.

ending wars in 24 hours

Not a problem: There are no wars, everything is a special military operation.

the "privately funded ballroom"

Funding is very private, you don't know who's getting all the money.

*by making everyone so miserable that people in NYC finally voted for a mayor that would serve their interests.

[-] rayyy@piefed.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

What happen to all those promises? Same thing as his promises to those 13 YO girls who believed he would make them rich and famous models, the screwed them too.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

"you never have to vote again" means you no longer get an opinion as far as they're concerned

[-] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago
