If it's just like the first term, why did you morons elect him a second time, is the only question worth asking.

That laundry list of rhetorical questions was predictable by anyone with an IQ of more than one digit since before Temu Hitler was first elected.

Seeing him re-elected was so much worse than seeing him elected for the first time. My stomach actually lurched, and I'm on the other side of the ocean. Un-fucking-believable that a significant part of voting age adults can be so ... boneheadedly dumb? Deliberately ignorant? Willingly hateful to the point of violence against fellow Americans? I struggle for words.

I was visiting Disney and was sitting in the Hall of Presidents when his stupid animatronic took the stage and a good chunk of the audience started clapping and cheering….

I looked at my wife and realized we were fucked then.

Probably all the decades of hard propaganda, American exceptionalism, dismantlement of education and so on. And it's not just the Maga crowd that is affected by that.

I still have my doubts about the legitimacy of the results.

This is how I feel as well, the projection about the election being stolen without any evidence being given is their silent way of bragging they got away with something…what and how is to be determined.

Guess fakenews, declining living conditions, biden giving up at a very poor timing (i think he just had long covid but yes it was bad), black woman as counter candidate with fake accent, immigration pressure, false promises, hiding behind religion (works in my country too to elect the biggest cunt as long they label themselves the dominant religion).

There is zero check in place to punish lying to voters.

Lying to your face and abusing you is a dominance display. These people are dominant, and we are going to suck it up and do our jobs and support them in the lives they choose. We will be given scraps and told it's our fault, which it is because it's so much easier to scrape along in our lanes than try to change anything for the better and be punished for it by the ones who don't have to follow any rules.
