    And for next 4 years, responsibility for the resulting hardships will somehow be laid at the feet of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

      You know it. The perverse thing - donvict gets elected, and all of a sudden, the qons think the economy is the bestest evar, even when he hasn’t even taken office, and has no coherent economic plan other than all kinds of fuckery around the edges, and of course huge tax cuts planned, most likely.

      I bet if it hits the shitter because of all the craziness and the complete unhinged people he has surrounded himself with, the new narrative will be - “this has always been this bad, ever since Biden took over”.

        And they’ll still believe that as the Dow Jones skyrockets and median real incomes go even further down the shitter to the point that they’re scrounging expired food from dumpsters behing fast-food outlets.

          What’s especially ridiculous is how so many of them pivoted. They pretended that no economic measurements mattered at all. Then the election happened, and wonder of wonders, now it’s a Great Economy. Without donvict having even starting the job - it’s just: he won, and everything is all sparkly now. The same people who a week before were pretending like buying a dozen eggs was putting them into the poor house.

          I mean, what the actual fuck.

      When his son was dying, Biden’s son said “Don’t let Hillary become the nominee. Run, dad, you can win!”

      Then he bravely… stepped aside and let 2016 happen. So, yes, some of this is Biden’s fault.

        Oh, they like being told what do. As long as it’s by the right people, as long as they’re told that they get to make others’ lives worse.

        That’s the secret. Just about every “alpha” (with VERY few exceptions) is also a submissive “beta”. They’ll give up their morals, their daughters, their god, their freedom, whatever.

        That’s the fundamental difference between the left and the right. The left believes in cooperation, the right believes in the authority-submissive, alpha-beta dynamic.

        These people just aren’t in on the secret. As soon as they really start complaining they’ll be told to fall in line.

    “Why is Trump doing exactly what we voted for?“

    It’s getting harder and harder to enjoy the faces being eaten by these leopards, especially because it affects everyone else, too.

    I guess the only hope is that there are fewer of them than there are of us. Eventually, we’ll be the only ones left.

    Hopefully…

        Yet none of us have universal healthcare, working wages, or anything else the progressive left failed to deliver.

        So, by all data and measurements, it is absolutely as bad for you as everyone else. If you don’t realize that, or refuse to admit it, that’s a different thing.

        However, unless you are an elite or a “special case” who worked at a deal with the orange turd, you’re just as bad as the rest of us.

        Lie to yourself, but don’t lie to us. We know better.

          Since you missed it the first time, let me rephrase what I said:

          If we’re all going to get the shit that Trump supporters deserve since they won the election, then I’m going to enjoy all the schadenfreude of watching them suffer getting exactly what the voted for. America is not great. Trump and Musk’s administration won’t make it great. But I’m going to enjoy their voters realizing that fact every day for the however it takes to get that fat orange fascist and his illegal-immigrant financier out of power.

              But all the magical and superstitious bullshit you just mentioned? There’s not a shred of proof of that in the 250,000 years of human existence.

              What magical and superstitious bullshit did that comment contain? And specifically, which part of it is refuted by 250,000 years of human existence?

              If we’re going to delve into ad hominem attacks, though, I think you would really benefit from getting checked out for schizophrenia. Most people don’t hear non-existent things in their head and accept those voices as reality.

              Edit: After reading your profile comments, I think you’re getting this comment thread mixed up with an argument you’re having with somebody else on an entirely different post.

              I apologize for mistakenly believing you may have a mental illness. You might be aggressive with your opinion, but you aren’t making up your replies entirely out of nowhere.

                  Let me get this straight:

                  1. Personal attacks are effective argumentation.
                  2. You mention rational evidence without providing any evidence.
                  3. I am hallucinating something, of which I don’t know about.
                  4. You don’t like me, thus I deserve to suffer.
                  5. 250,000 years of existing disproves my nonexistent hallucinations… of what, exactly?

                  Dude, get some help. This isn’t healthy.

              Buddy, I genuinely think you might be either a human suffering from schizophrenia, or a degenerative LLM model that has been trained on 4chan topics for too long.

              Nobody here is talking about supernatural creatures. Not me. Not the guy you replied to. Nobody. Nobody else is accusing others of killing cats, either. I’m also concerned about the lack of coherence in your sentence, “prove that your mental delusion is Israel.” Israel is a proper noun, not a mental health condition. I can’t have a mental delusion of Israel. That is literally impossible.

              Please talk to a professional. I’m sending thoughts and prayers in the meantime 🫂

      I mean the US deep south has been voting for conservative policies for decades and those places just keep getting shittier, which just makes them vote for that shit even harder. The entire political framework is built on abstractions which demonize empiricism as a concept. They are trained from birth specifically not to connect cause and effect, but to wage emotional aggrievement warfare.

        On the Professional Left Podcast, I’ve heard driftglass talk about conservatives and he compares them to USSR-era capital-C Communists - basically, Republicanism/conservatism can never fail. It’s because we didn’t do it HARD enough. Republicanism/conservatism can never fail people; it’s people that fail Republicanism/conservatism.

        It’s a cult. A fucking cult.

          of course… trump is hella racist and so is america and that’s why he won….
          it’s just about impossible for someone to support him without being racist. that’s why when you pin a trump supporter down on “why trump though?” it’s always some bullshit reason, and if you break it down or disprove it, they eventually regress to “i don’t care”.
          all their hypocritical outrage over supposed moral violations of the left? they don’t actually care about that… they just want to yell something at the anti-racist people and they can’t get away with overt racism just yet….
