People here will literally tell you “I don’t want to hear about it” but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don’t Look Up moment.

    There’s a lot of evidence suggesting this presidency was stolen. What would you say if you learned that the majority of America didn’t want him back in the oval office?

      It is not just the last election. The downfall of US politics is coming for decades now, and is not only caused by the recklessness of the Republicans, but also by the infighting and lethargy of the Democrats.

        What about lethargy and infighting of leftists? You don’t even make it onto the ballot lol. My point is that many Americans are opponents of the trump regime and being critical of them is blaming the victim

          They may see themselves as opponents to Trump, but a lot of things they did actually lead to the Republicans and Trump come to power. Shit did not happen to start in 2024, 2020 or even 2016. It started promising in 1776, and went downhill from there because of the lack of political maintenance.

          This is a national responsibility, starting with simply accepting an outdated voting system, politics based on outdated and ambiguous documents and a failure to update them to be more precise. There is no flow of lessons learned back into the core of the system. There are no attempts to keep political corruption in check.

      I mean, basic math already showed us that the majority didn’t want him in office either time. But even with all of the shady shit and even straight up election fraud he couldn’t have won without the votes from a large number of people who purposely chose the hate filled pedophile option.
