The best argument against democracy is a 5-minute interview with an average voter.
What do you do for the remaining 4-1/2 minutes?
Go to your happy place
here’s the thing though: they’ll abolish the ACA, and when people start complaining, they’ll just blame everything on mexicans.
and trump voters will 10000000% believe it
blame everything on mexicans
I’m sorry, it’s all my fault and I take full responsibility. I’ll make tamales with atole for the victims of my reckless Mexican behavior. 😔
Holy shit I love all types of Mexican food and I’ve never heard of atole. Looking it up.
Edit: Fuck your fake coffee!
Hah! It only looks like coffee but is closer to a thick smoothie made with corn dough, vanilla, and cinnamon. It makes me feel very cozy during the winter, it’s delicious.
That sounds amazing 😋
Atole!?! In that case I’m definitely a victim and await my tamales.
“Illegals smuggle our patriotic, expensive insulin out of the US, and we gotta build a wall facing the other direction to keep them in this time! We’ll use tariffs to get Mexico to pay for it!”
The idea of voting for a candidate with whom you disagree on things upon which you depend for your livelihood or survival is just wild to me.
They don’t think about any of the social programs that they depend on. It’s about hurting the right people. A platform built on hate. Then they wonder why the leopards ate their face.
People vote based on what they think the person is like. Harris is boring and the same old. Trump tells it like it is, that’s exciting!
Nevermind that boring is what you want for government, you want everything to just work. But no, gotta be emotional about it.
“I didn’t think it would hurt me.” - Trump voters for the next four years.
As a school bus driver, I work with a bunch of older people who are already utterly dependent on social security and medicare to have any semblance of a life that doesn’t involve living in a tent in the park and dumpster diving for dinner. They are mostly trumpers. We’re all Teamsters as well, and a few are married lesbians (and these are the most rabidly pro-trump of all). I have made a few attempts to convince them that trump (and Republicans for fucking decades) are out to destroy social security, medicare, unions and gay rights (among lots of other things) - but they reacted to me like I had grown an extra head. Somehow they’ve convinced themselves that the GOP is the original source and the protector of these things.
They are mostly trumpers.
Spend all your time on a bus listening to AM Talk Radio year after year after year and see what happens to your brain.
Somehow they’ve convinced themselves that the GOP is the original source and the protector of these things.
Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth.
and a few are married lesbians (and these are the most rabidly pro-trump of all).
They do know that just because it’s a Republican porn of choice, Republicans don’t actually hate lesbians, right?
Just like the first 4 years.
“I didn’t think leopards would eat MY face”
-Leopard Eating Faces Party voter-
Assuming they live that long.
by jan we will be so consumed by the flavour of the month culture war (trans muslim librarians are coming for your pizza gate!) that they wont even notice its happening.
by the time they need it they’ll forget who even took it away.
by the time they vote they’ll just think trump saved them from leftist death panels or some shit.
edit: oh shit, the q-anon nuts are going to sprout again arn’t they… le sigh
trans muslim librarians are coming for your pizza
So what type of pizza do they like? Gotta get ready for January!
Definitely not vegan pizza.
I’m sure its that woke New York pie they’ll be coming for. True Americans support Chicago deep dish with all that extra saturated fat and sodium
oh shit, the q-anon nuts are going to sprout again arn’t they… le sigh
I’m over giving a fuck about them at this point. It’s tired, old hat, doesn’t really even bother me anymore. I know they’re saying shit to enrage people but when you see enough of it, it eventually just stops registering. I’m sure they’ll still find takers for their stupid games but i also suspect others are also moving on from giving a fuck too. How long can you really play games like that before you finally see them for what they are? Bunch of miserable twats trying to drag everyone else down to their level. I take comfort knowing i live a happier life than them, that all they have is hate. It’s actually kind of sad, really
This is what you voted for 💅
The leopards are going to become very fat this next few years
Faces! Delicious faces!
Oh god dammit.
It just occurred to me that unless there’s some state thing Im unaware of, when I divorce, once the damn ACA gets pulled she won’t have insurance and I’m on the hook for medical shit for 5~ years.
God fucking dammit. Just another reason these goddamn Nazi bastards needed to be taken care of before the election.
Hah! Look at you, thinking you’ll be able to divorce in a few years from now. Haven’t seen project 2025?
I’m going to just assume that this is a man so he’ll be able to divorce just fine. Getting rid of no fault divorce is just for women so they are kept in the marriage where they’re abused.
Correct I’m a dude. And even then I could prove fault if I needed to.
It does make me wonder how shared custody would work though.
Isn’t abuse one of those things that normally counts as “fault”?
I’m attempting to get the divorce done before that occurs.
And I can prove fault if necessary I just really don’t want to dig that shit up again. The memory of discovering the affair was bad enough.
And like the guy below said I’m a dude
Yeah, I assumed you’re a dude. But it doesn’t matter. About a year from now, it’s fair to assume that divorce is at least on the table/ chopping block, if not already outright banned by the new theocracy
Well I kept saying that and the responses were- without fail- “you first, tough guy!”, “go back to twitter, ammosexual!”, “if we dont respect free speech for Nazis then they wont respect ours when they gain power!”, and “you’re the REAL Nazi!!”
So I hope trumptards get every single fucking thing they voted for.
Just start laughing about loud and point at them with your arm fully extended. We should start shaming people in a more direct primal way again. Shame is probably the most powerful feeling (maybe second to “ahh oh my god I’m dying???” however you want to call that)
I could not agree more. This is the same bunch that tries to make being liberal a dirty word. They use liberal as epithet, along with things like environmentalist, community organizer, social justice (SJW), or veg*n (“soy boy”). Also: being educated, or in fact, aspiring to anything more than just being a huckster, a sportsball star, or, more recently, an “influencer”.
About time to start shaming THEM.
I agree. Tolerance of such extreme idiocy is unhealthy for society.
Shame is a paralyzing emotion. It does not bring change. Guilt does.
Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.
Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it’ll very likely pass.
Non stop fillibusters for 4 years?
Is that our only hope?
You mean filibuster. The Democrats didn’t eliminate it under Biden out of fear for what Republicans would do when they took power again. Guess what?
They’re going to get rid of the filibuster anyways?
Doing, ding. Winner right here!
And I was pissed off about that but now have to reluctantly give them credit for that. Turned out to be the right call.
But if they actually use it, the way McConnel did when he was in the minority, then the Republicans will finally get rid of it. They don’t need it, as they will never again be the minority party.
There is no way we don’t get a massive recession or worse in Trump’s presidency. MAGA won’t care, but a lot of the idiot moderates always blame the incumbent party and will vote in a Democrat.
Pretty much, honestly I think Kamela would have won if they just put up a reel-to-reel film reminding people Covid-19 is Trump’s fault
They did, nobody who needed to hear it listened. They were all busy voting on a single issue.
They should get out of the way. It appears the majority want this.
It would seem that many need a reminder of how bad it can be.
Do the majority of people want ACA appealed or do the majority of people not understand what’s coming for them?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess we’ll see hu?
Either way, they’ll get what they voted for.
Given all the people who wanted to “Repeal Obamacare and replace it with the ACA!”
The latter
Dems could expand the court as well before January
And republicans would expand it again 🤷♀️
All it takes to eliminate the filibuster is a bare majority. Democrats did it selectively to carve out exceptions for the few promises they actually wanted to fulfill.
That has gotta be hugely unpopular right?
People would absolutely flip out if we go back to “preexisting conditions”.It will be hugely unpopular. It’s not clear whether that will translate to Trump or Republicans becoming unpopular though.
They will get what they deserve
Nah, somehow it’ll be Biden’s fault… google backfire effect, the more you challenge their beliefs the more they fight for them, even when proven wrong. They do not learn. They will not ever learn. They do not want to learn.
No they won’t. That’s a big reason why they never change.
The assumption to make here is that Trump is willing to try to do everything he’s said. This is a guy who literally tried to ban Muslims after all.
Personally, I think that the tumult of his administration is going to get in the way of its own agenda, as evidenced by his first presidency. Half of the people on his staff will be gone before the first year is out, and Trump is going to spend more time golfing than he will actually governing. His biggest focus will be on monetizing the presidency, and he surrounds himself with incompetent sycophants.
These and other factors make it difficult to say what he will actually achieve.
As for the ACA, it was a conservative court that stopped him the first time, so the SCOTUS is no slam dunk. I don’t think anyone can definitively state what will happen with regards to health care in this country.
JD Vance was made his running mate cause JD Vance is down with project 2025 and will be doing the actual running of things.
So it doesnt matter what Trump is off doing. JD Vance will be back at the office, doing the nasty work that trump will rubber stamp.
You can speculate on that, but history would demonstrate that you’re probably wrong. Hell, Trump tried to get his own VP assassinated last time.
I’m sure they think they can control Trump, but as we saw from 2016 to 2020, they can’t. That’s especially true at Trump’s age and with his cognitive decline.
Trump also famously told his VP picks in 2016 that they would run the country, he just wanted the title and perks of the presidency.
That was 8 years and 3 swaying Ave Marias ago, I doubt he is more motivated to do the job now.
Fair point.
JD Vance is down with project 2025
He was one of the authors, even.
Normally I would agree with you but I think Donald has lost touch with reality and we are letting a dementia patient run the country. I don’t think we could be in more dangerous territory. I mean, he isn’t even playing golf anymore.
I do think that’s the point. He can be the guy in the chair, and let his sycophants pursue their personal agendas
I have a feeling this channel is going to get a lot of content in the next four years…
it’s been 9 fucking years and we can’t take Trump at his fucking word?
