    We are so fucked. The repercussions of this election are going to effect everything from SCOTUS to county courts. This is so utterly disgusting. People looked at the shit spewing from his mouth and said, “Yes, represent me.”

    Fuck this country.

      Fuckimg depressing that probably 1/3rd of people didn’t vote. And of the 2/3 of those that did - most of them voted Trump.

      So basically a minimum of 1/3 but more likely more than 1/2 of Americans wanted Trump and the Republican Party to represent them. They voted for:

      • Russian dominion over Ukraine and further aggression on its neighbours
      • Chinese genocides and aggression on its neighbours
      • mass deportation of vulnerable and productive members of society (he calls them immigrants)
      • men controlling women’s health and avoidable deaths
      • oppression of LGBTQ+
      • racism
      • fraud
      • corruption

      Why? Because they believe that Trump is going to make them richer.

      Nice people.

        Putting all that aside, because most people don’t delve into details, he is a damn idiot! People used to laugh and ostracize people like Trump not so long ago. Why is this suddenly okay to [long list of non-political things he said and did]?

          “He’s like me.”

          Large sections of the land country are deeply anti-intellectual, and proudly wear their badge of ignorance. They are enabled and abetted by their churches.

      This SCOTUS is the real issue. By the end of this term, Trump will have appointed 7 of 9 justices if Thomas and alito take the opportunity to retire.
