  • I’m curious to know what happened but, as a sane person who understands and accepts that Trump’s mental state is in complete disarray, I’m not exactly confused.

    For all the people who still believe that Trump is a super strong, super smart, all-American mega patriot who loves capitalism and hates brown people this must be bewildering. And with all the jokes about him swooning over Mamdani I mean damn, their MAGA leader being in love with a muslim, african immigrant man must be breaking them.





  • I remember one guy telling a story where someone he met was saying that, well into Harris’ campaign, they really hoped the country got togehter and voted against Biden. As in, to be abundantly clear, they didn’t know that Biden hadn’t been on the ballot for months but they did have a very strong feeling about the him getting elected.

    Here in Montréal we elected a mayor and party that are full of scandals and who ride developper dick during a housing crisis. 63% of the city rents but only 36% of the city showed up to vote and most of them voted for the cartoonishly bad party and a shocking amount voted for the “more parking garages downtown” party. It was, frankly, embarrassing as hell.


  • At this point I’d literally take just seeing more people actually caring and fewer people “not being political”. Caring about politics is not a niche interest. You don’t have to be an expert but the lack of comprehension around the subject all over the world, especially in places like the US and Canada where information is so easy to find, is fucking insane to me.

    It would be sick if we could throw out the idea that this isn’t fucking Star Wars and we don’t need to take Conservatives seriously as the only other option outside of the centrists to get some kind of light-side/dark-side balance.





  • You say that, but the US is full of people still just going about their business. The country is operating fairly normally, all things considered, and the best you’ve got are sanctioned protests that are great for showing that people don’t love the situation but aren’t actually doing anything that couldn’t be responded to with an AI video of king Trump shit bombing everyone. Oh, and a Californian conservative who makes memes mocking Trump but is himself pretty shit.

    Maybe for a nation of cowards this is action, but really it’s just sad. You’re taking it lying down, and half of you are even fighting to make sure that ya’ll get completely fucked.
