    See this is the problem right here. 1/3 of Americans are deplorable, always have been, back to the founding fathers. And it only took 28% to elect Trump/Elon/Vance. How can the world ever trust the US political system again? It’s been hacked by Citizens United, and at this point has been completely corrupted by the billionaires. I do believe that it can be fixed, but it won’t be. This has been a long time in the making.

      What do you mean 28% to elect Trump? Are you including people who are ineligible to vote?

      Anyway, the problem is that you think the other side are deplorable instead of trying to understand why more voters voted for Trump rather than Kamala. You are the problem.

        Would love to hear your explanation as to why voters chose Trump over Kamala that doesn’t boil down to being duped into conflating popularity with functional policy.

        Our government is a clown show of reality TV rejects that you have rationalized as qualified due to a diet of purely manufactured infotainment.

        Anyone with any meaningful government experience has done nothing but warn you about how little fucks Trump gives about this country, but you think because he puts himself in front of an American flag he has every right to store all our countries most valuable secrets in a bathroom with a fax machine readily accessible to any foreign agent willing to pay Jared more billions.

        Trump has done nothing but shit in your mouth, and the only one believing it tastes good is you. Too bad generations of Americans will now have to eat it too because you’ve been tricked into thinking punishing made up enemies somehow equates to societal progress.
