    He bragged about sexually assaulting women, and got elected, tried to overturn the next election with violence, stole a huge pile of documents, which was illegal, had multiple felonies, but got away with it all and elected again.


    Multi-count felon,

    Wasn’t even held in jail,

    Workers put in camps

      Yea and no. If they haven’t actually learned anything then they will continue making the same mistakes and being the same problem. Conservatives should be radicalizing people and yet there are still hordes of centrists going “yea but maaaaaybe” and conservatives who are just mad at one particular guy but will forget it all right quick.

      Trying to be open minded and accept people who are willing to change their views here, but it is very, very hard not to be bitter.

      It’s also very hard to believe that people can change at all.

        Do not forget, and do not try not to be bitter.

        Just quietly acknowledge they’re making a logical choice while you make sure they stay far away from your life.

    True, but also, I hope no Democrat or Democratic ally says this to someone who has left the Republican party. Just thank them for changing their mind and move on. If they are no longer voting Republican, try to keep it that way.

        Maybe if the libs weren’t so smug and obnoxious about calling anyone who disagrees with them stupid then people wouldn’t want to own them all the time.

    We did everything we could to tell them this would happen. Project 2025 was out there. They choose to believe the shit peddlers over the facts, again. Now, Project 2025 is about 60% complete and the US is a joke on the world stage.

    I don’t care what they think anymore. They destroyed their own country and I cheer every time one of them suffers due to the shit-show they chose.

    You wanted to own the libs at any cost right? Well it’s time to pay up bitches.

      That is exactly the mentality which has put Trump in power.

      Don’t care, don’t think, just judge based on your stereotype and without even trying to check reality. Go for hate and revange… it is so tiring

      I hope a time will come when we can all calm down and talk about politics with reason rather than hate.

          When who send us to the showers? The one who left Trump’s movement? Or the ones still in who could be convinced out by those who left, if someone cared about them and helped them?

          What good does it bring to just laught at them?

          How rejecting them is different from Trump’s politics of rejecting all the “not like us”?

            I mean I saw the people who “had a moment of clarity” in 2007, realized that Bush was a war criminal bring led by the nose by the defence and banking industry who ruined the country. And then suffered 0 literal 0 consequences.

            And I saw who they voted for 8 years later.

            So ya fuck em. Their broken. Built wrong. I’m not gonna give them a moment of peace or suffer their credence. I’m not gonna listen to them soft-pedal their excuses and try to limit our potentials because “It’s just like what Trump would have done.”

            If they want to come to our side I want them to lie. I want them to be so ashamed they invent a fictional reality and live in that. Because I don’t want them on our side if they’re talking about how they didn’t know what he was gonna do.

              “It is their fault if they are as they are, so they do not deserve anything.”

              Put who ever you want as the “they”, it is still fascism.

              The society you live in seems pushing its population to think that way. But no, it is not a “natural” way of thinking.

              A recent post showed a study made in New York to find why maga neighborhood voted for the new mayor. The study shows how some people have clearly no political education and a very poor critical thinking capacity. You can’t decently blame them for being abused, just as you can’t blame the victime for the crime.

              They would need help, and without it they will keep “limit your potentials”.

      The half of the Hispanic demographic which doesn’t work for ICE probably isn’t coming back. I saw a clip where a Portuguese restaurant chain owner was going out of business and said “I thought he was going to be a good businessman and get the economy back on track.”

      The average joe doesn’t have a fucking clue what’s going on outside of the occasional fox news clip or TikTok.

    Every single republican voter has to have something bad happen to them personally before they’ll support the opposite. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. They’re incapable of thinking how it’ll affect them until it does. It’s really pathetic.

      Honestly I have to agree with this. My grandfather became the most solid democrat you could ever find, to the point where he actively participates in the election system during polling days and drives candidates around.

      He used to be a solid republican, but he got super burned with his retirement due to the dismantlement of the system back during I think it was the bush era(?).

      Honestly I wish he didn’t go so hard core though, like he went so far down the hole he uses MS Now as his news source which is basically Fox News but for the other direction :\
