Reminder that everyone who didn’t vote still bears responsibility: Not making a decision is still a decision.
Edit: Anyone who disagrees can eat all of my shit and hair. <3
No, no, you see, democracy means being blameless and without responsibility 😊

Bullshit, you are PugJesus.
I can tell by the username.
Ignorance is not always a choice, I’m afraid. Not that they’re not faultless, but people in power have been grooming American stupidity for generations.
Not sure what the solution is, but maybe some nonvoters need intervention. People who actively rally for Trump are likely too far gone, though.

🎶 If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice 🎶
So, they are just dumb right? He said exactly what he was going to do.
They didn’t vote for Trump, they vote for “whatever the liberals hate”.
They don’t care if they suffer too. They only want to watch the “others” hurt.
One of my favorite quotes is “A Republican would eat shit if they thought a liberal would have to smell their breath.”
They just couldn’t vote for a black woman.
Ooops.
Breaking News: Americans are idiots
Americans are racist, sexist, pieces of humans shit in the majority. They have proven it by voting for Puttin’s rapist Orange Turd.
Yep. None of us voted against him. It was a fucking landslide. I am sarcastic and drunk.
If only there was someone who was running for President who was on a major party ticket and had an agenda that - for the most part - was supported by the majority of Americans.

I voted for her, FWIW. Most people here had to hold their noses to stoop to doing that, though.
It’s obviously pretty stupid, but we shouldn’t act like the Americans are especially dumb, this is happening all over the globe.
People see: “economy is bad” so people vote out whoever is in power and vote in whoever screams the loudest that they have a magical fix. I would be shocked if the average trump, AFD etc. voter spends more then 15 minutes researching their vote (outside the endless stream of political content on yt and tiktok).
True, only with Trump we already had a round of him trying to run us into the ground while trying to sell off everything not bolted down, while also golfing like he was on the PGA tour (quantity NOT quality), and up-charging his secret service detail and foreign “reps” that stayed at all his properties and funneling all that illegal money back into his coffers while funding everything he did on tax payer dollars.
But yeah, he was clearly the choice to “stick it to the man”.
It’s obviously pretty stupid, but we shouldn’t act like the Americans are especially dumb, this is happening all over the globe.
Is it really, though? Which other first-world country would you say is even remotely as far down the rabbit hole of idiocy as the USA?
Argentina, Brazil, Germany to an extent, France is flirting with it, Italy, the Netherlands (my country) is fucking around and finding out, Hungary has been at it since before it was cool, Indonesia elected a literal was criminal. And that’s all the cases I know about.
Canada has also been flirting with it, and UK kind of already did it in a different way. There’s probably quite a few more. I’m glad you’re at least bringing up the diversity of these populations; even Russia has some good citizens ultimately hopeless at situations that are out of their control (although US has some ways to go before they round up all dissonance).
Other than Hungary those examples are not even in the same postal code as what’s happening in the US, let alone the same ballpark. Argentina and Indonesia were always a clusterfuck, and were never first-world countries.
Did you forget about the previous Polish fascist piss government? Or Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, and there’s probably more that I’m forgetting.
Oh please, for instance AfD got 20% of the vote, and have no real power, because Germany has an actually functioning democracy.
But yes we hear a lot of warnings against AfD, because they are like MAGA, difference is they can’t disrupt everything with lies like in USA. Because in EU you have responsibility when using your freedom of speech. You can’t parrot some idiot making history falsification, ands claim you are just “reporting” it. Unfortunately the old East Germany is unhappy with the state of things, and want to go back to before the country was split. Which means they want Nazi Germany back.this is happening all over the globe.
This is textbook false equivalence.
Exactly. Americans are very quick to deflect and turn to whataboutism when held responsible for their actions.
Dude is from the Netherlands, homey.
They didn’t vote for Trump, though. The election was stolen.
There are zero excuses that anyone can use to claim that they didn’t know what Trump was going to do or that it would be this bad. We lived through the first term where we saw the shit he was doing. We saw every tweet, post, and video where he said exactly what he wanted to do. Remember when he literally said he wanted to be a dictator? Yea, it was 100% out there the whole time. If that wasn’t enough, every word out of his mouth has been hate directed at some demographic. Deciding that that was acceptable was already too much. I will never forgive anyone that voted for that Nazi.
Because people don’t vote for policy, just culture war bullshit
Fundamentally, if you voted for Trump you do support his agenda. That’s how voting works.
You just don’t want to own it.
They think they’ve “won” as if we didn’t all lose
They support his agenda. Just not when it happens to them, they just want others to suffer.
“He’s not hurting the right people”
-some piece of shit from his first term.
He doesn’t fucking care. The whole campaign was about doing and saying whatever was needed to get elected so that he could avoid lawsuits, make a profit, and dismantle government. Rich and powerful supported him because they saw ways for themselves to get more rich and more powerful. The richest man on the planet went all in, and now is personally helping to eliminate government agencies that were investigating his own businesses. They don’t care that the public gets unhappy, they’ve served their purpose.
This isn’t a surprise, it’s their plan going as intended.
It’s a surprise to the utter dipshits in the public, who thought either that he would MAKE AMERICA GREAT, or that things couldn’t possibly get worse in these wretched United States of America, so it didn’t matter if a fascist was elected.
No argument, it’s a surprise to the morons who were manipulated into voting for the guy, but most everyone else saw what was happening.
