This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸’Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.
What is actually embarrassing is that the US elected Reagan, twice, then G.W Bush, twice, and now Donald Trump, twice.
As the great scholar Bush once said:
There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again
The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.
I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren’t Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.
Time to start beating your wife, she’s actively asking for it. If she’s your ex make sure to remind her that project 2025 wants to make her existence illegal.
The whole thing is going to look fucking stupid once EVs take off. Although I bet Trump will do everything to slow that once elected (even with Musk in his ear).
Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you’re living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.
It’s so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would’ve never seen all this coming…
I still think musk had something to do with it and not in a strictly legal way. Would explain how he has managed to stay close to the orange for so long unchecked.
The thing is we had Obama and dem control of the legislature and we still didn’t get universal healthcare, or even basic shit like minimum wage indexed to inflation. It’s no wonder low-information voters think democrats suck at “the economy”.
Honestly, in my social circle we’re all kinda treating it like this… strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can’t even really joke about it, still. It’s like we all know it’s gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it’s going to be. There’s a lot I’m hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that’s a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.

It’s always projection with conservatives.

Prophetic.

So glad we get to do it again!!
Nahhh… we’re pretty fucking disappointed… Least everyone I know with half a brain.

I think it’s revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).
Gas is the big one. I don’t hear as much complaining about food where I am.

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.
What will they think when those things don’t happen? Some conspiracy shit?
Cognitive dissonance - They’ll find some way to blame it on Biden/Harris/Newsom/Pelosi.
“Thanks, Obama!”
Biden will be taking the blame for all the problems over the next couple of years.
And Trump will take credit for the good policies that Biden implemented, if he manages to not fuck it up.
It’s those brown people in Iran! We better start another 20 year invasion!

Those were probably fake accounts
They are fucking wild honestly.
