In Trump’s latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says “Trump Gaza,” and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.
All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he’s their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.
There is no bridging the gap. The dipshit protest voters made that clear. They had to have it 100% their way or no way at all. Because they’re children who are willing to sacrifice our democracy over a single fucking issue.
Remember, these protest voters were so fucking stupid that they chose to allow Donald Trump to become president, knowing he would be FAR, FAR worse on the topic of Palestine. They never gave a flying fuck about Palestine. They only cared about being morally superior. Otherwise they would have swallowed their dipshit pride and voted in such a manner as to help Palestinians as much as they had the power to.
You can sit here and complain about the Democrat party all you want, but the alternative was so fucking bad, proven by 1 already utterly failed presidency, that only a fool of the highest degree would act in such a way as to allow that alternative back into power, no matter how many complaints they have about the Democrat party. And, oh look, now our federal government is being deconstructed in front of our very eyes, oligarchs are pilfering the public coffers, and Gaza will be turned to ash. Actions, meet consequences.
You say the Democrat party didn’t do anything to help themselves. I can agree they could have done more. But they had a successful presidency to tout, a voting record proving they try to help average Americans, stats showing a recovering economy, which they also touted, and have many representatives opening discussions about things like universal healthcare, which has never, and will never, be part of the discussion over on the other side of the aisle. They did not just sit around thinking “hey look at the other option” was their only strategy. Just look at the Kamala/Trump debate. She talked facts and policy and he shit himself and talked about immigrants eating people’s pets, explaining that he only had concepts of plans.
You need to understand that the brunt of the blame here does not fall on the Democrat party. It falls squarely on Americans for being trash, low information, easily manipulated voters. It’s not Democrat’s fault Americans aren’t responsible enough to inform themselves. Americans are failing spectacularly at their civic duty.
Yeah, it’s a whole hell of a lot easier to utilize hate, fear, and lies to motivate people than to expect adults to be responsible and actually do their homework.
In terms of an individual’s personal philosophy, I agree, but I’m not so willing to give the Democratic party slack. They SERIOUSLY fucked up 2016 and 2024 elections - votes are earned. This is literally their job and they are incompetent. We still have Dem lawmakers on fucking TWITTER. How slow and out of touch can they be - they should know the owner of Twitter is not safe, threw up a Nazi salute, and sold us out to Russia via Starlink satellites.
They lost on social media and on the policies themselves not being exciting enough. Gaslighting the public that the economy is good when starvation increased by like 8% and homelessness by 18% in 2024
It’s frustrating as fuck. Had they just held a fair primary in both 2016 and 2024, we may have won. Instead they testified in court in 2016 that they didn’t have to hold fair elections. Noodle spine Hakeem Jeffries seems unable to do anything but speak at fundraisers and raise funds, per his own admissions.
Luckily we have people like Bernie, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Al Green, Merkley, Markey, and many others who are speaking out and doing the work.
That’s only half the equation. Yes, a party is responsible for advertising themselves and their accomplishments. The other half of the equation is the populace being responsible adults, which is NOT the case with a LARGE swath of Americans. It’s American’s responsibility to inform themselves about a party’s voting history and criminal conviction history. To be aware of the status of the economy under each party, historically. It’s literally impossible for a party to thoroughly educate every last voter.
I don’t like it, but realistically it’s probably for exposure. Particularly to independent voters. It’s still a very large platform and if they leave, then it’s 100% a racist Nazi shithole instead of just 95%.
It’s hard to compete against hate, fear, racism, and general misinformation. Truth can’t win on the internet until companies are actually held accountable for the damage their platforms cause due to their inability to moderate misinformation. This is one of the primary reasons I believe the future to be a dark one.
All metrics indicate the economy was recovering under Democrat leadership. Clearly that takes time. I agree that they could have advertised that better, but again, it’s partially up to Americans to be aware of these metrics. It’s their civic duty.
Look, Democrats can do better. No doubt. But the bottom line is Americans chose the BLATANTLY worse option. As in, we may never see such a blatant, obvious election ever again in our lives. That’s on Americans and their inability to take their civic duty seriously.
