    Yes. Yes it is. It’s exactly what you voted for. Everyone tried to warn you but you were too fucking focused on dumb, single issue voter shit. You got exactly what you voted for. Enjoy it!

      I am also very confused. They had ‘Mass Deportation Now’ signs, but she didn’t think she was voting for this. Que ingenua!

    I’m of Irish and Scottish decent. I’m white. As fuck. Not AF. As fuck. I don’t tan, I fucking burn, peel, and burn again. All the while, I suffer.

    I’m from the south. Grew up in Texas, only been out of it for less than a year and still in the fucking south - so not much better.

    Even I could tell… well, anyone, not to vote for Trump. “Oh, Trump likes _______” No, Trump likes Trump. End statement. End logic. End all.

    Trump likes Trump.

    If anyone thinks that Trump will put them, their group, or their issue, ahead of himself then they have refused to pay attention. Not that they haven’t had the chance, they have willfully refused.

    I was not able to vote. Moving from Texas to Arkansas, there was in issue with my registration, which in hind-sight sounds like “I’m lazy, have some voter suppression” because I didn’t have a capital T branded on my forehead. I should have fought harder, but I was more worried about a roof over my head and food on the table. Fuck me for trying to survive and provide for my wife.

    End statement: Not everyone who was unable to vote was lazy: Fuck all of you who say otherwise. Some of us could NOT vote, for whatever reason.

      I don’t think the problem quite amounts to Trump likes Trump. For me, the issue is obvious: this is reactionary policy that he and the Republicans have been quite clear about enacting. I am trying to be a bit more sympathetic because I get that people have been tricked, but I think Trump was very clear about doing this well in advance of the election.

      If it’s any consolation, most of us not from the US know your system doesn’t work for the people and deliberately makes it difficult for people like yourself to contribute to your country’s democracy.

      In my country, if you deliberately choose not to vote, you get fined.

    What a goof. This is exactly who you voted for. You knew what he was going to do. He was very vocal and very public about it.

    You still supported and voted for him.

    I don’t know how stupid you have to be to posthumously get mad that you got exactly what you supposedly wanted when you voted for it, just because it was what was clearly described, and not the rose colored picture you had in your mind of what things meant.

    Get bent.

    If you voted for Trump then this is 100% what you specifically voted for. I’m tired of hearing this line, it’s bullshit. He was barking about literally everything he is doing the entire time, everyone else was pointing out that this is exactly what he was saying, if you genuinely didn’t think this is what he was all about the entire time then you are an idiot and the exact kind of tool they were asking you to be.

    Fuck every single person who voted for this.

          MAGA voted for what they wanted: they are getting excellent representation. Their wildest political fantasies are being enacted right now. The people who didn’t vote at all - especially those who pretended the democrats are somehow just as bad as the literal fascists currently in power - they just shrugged off their responsibilities as democratic citizens and let the country be ruined by a minority of racist shitheads. The election result wasn’t 50/50, but closer to 33/33/33: one third of Americans wanted white christian fascism, one third adamantly did not, and one third said, “fascism, democracy - what’s the difference?”

          Voting to stop fascism is primordial and you cannot argue against that unless you are a fascist.

          You make it sound like there was no choice between fascism and normalcy.

          In fact, there was a choice to stop fascism but people decided not to vote because Israel.

          And now Israel is better off and the genocide will be fulfilled.

          With Harris, there would have been a status quo and a chance to stop the genocide. Trump and Israel are cut from the same cloth of fascism. So genocide on!!!

          Thanks protest non-voters, you couldn’t have made it much worse for Palestine if you tried to.

          I wouldn’t say worse, but equally idiotic. Not voting doesn’t absolve you from causing the result.

            Not voting in 2020 would actually have been the optimal outcome for the country. Objectively, we would have been far, far better off if a large number of Democrats had stayed home in 2020, allowing Trump to get a second term then instead of now. Democrats focused on short-term expediency by forcing Biden through. They won the election in 2020, but at what a terrible price. Instead of a flailing second Trump term with Trump as a lame duck, Democrats gave Trump four more years to regroup, strategize, and come up with Project 2025. Democrats chose the cheap and easy solution in 2020, and every one of us is paying for it now.

            Your strategy has some merit, but it fails in that it only considers short-term, rather than long-term thinking. Your victories end up temporary and ultimately Pyrrhic.

            Voting for today’s lesser of two evils only works if you’re a goldfish with no memory of history.

              You know, there’s no law of nature dictating that Trump had to get a second term. If people had voted democrat in 2024 and 2028, Trump would just not have had a second term.

              Project 2025 is not from yesterday. Do you even know what the Heritage Foundation is?

              This(project 2025) has been in the works for decades.

        Thats surprisingly common.

        A while ago I was in a tram in Vienna. The tram has one very big station, where most people get off, and then just one more stop afterwards. We were just at that big station and everyone except me and an older woman stayed on the tram. As doors were closing, a younger woman outside the train shouted something in a language I didn’t understand.

        The older woman turned to me and said in very broken German “These foreigners… They always misbehave, make noise.”

        I was so close to asking her what about tge concept of foreigners she didn’t understand.

        I don’t understand foreigners subscribing to anti-foreigner idology.
