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.

    edit: also the whole stop the steal bs culminating in Jan 6 '21

    Yeah, the re election came with the revelation that a very very large portion of the population is extremely mentally dead.

    It also erased any and all desire to "forgive and forget" or "try to turn people around" etc. Fuck those people. Forever. You votrd Trump, you can fuck right off forever.

    And its annoying on a secondary level because at this point, Inpretty much assume anyone new I interact with is a fucking braindead asshole rascist loser by default. Its killed any and all optimism I had, and I used to be very very overly optimistic about everyone and everything.

    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.

    That's true but being a serial liar is not an excuse for lying.

    "Oh well he lies about everything so he's not accountable for anything"

    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.

    We had a different Hitler cheering on a genocide and the nominee saying she would be just like him.

    Edit: In the replies, a lot of butthurt name calling from scratched liberals. A lot of "but you have to vote for 95% Hitler over 100% Hitler arguments". No one seeming to think genocide is a red line for their support. Amazing.

    Even assuming you had to choose the least Hitlery candidate - which you didn't: neither Biden nor Harris were anything like the orange fascist - the choice was between a nauseating democrat and a 34x convicted felon, convicted sex offender, who provably lied 30,573 times during his first term, whose former aids openly called fascist, and who organized a coup.

    I don't know... If you think there even was a choice, there's something really wrong with you.

    It's the kind of people who refuse a vaccine for a one in a million chance there might be side effects and fully choose the one in a thousand chance for death in the certainty it would not happen to them. There is no reasoning happening there.

    The GeNoCiDe

    This takenis so fucking stupid and I am so tired of hearing it.

    Even if it were true, both were "Cheering for Genocide" and at the end of the day, both Israel and Palestine and less important than ournown fucking country. That entire region has been endless back and forth on who is good and who is bad all iver some stupid religious horse shit basically since thebstart of time.

    Who. Fucking. Cares.

    It's a settler colonial project that started shortly after WW2 that has been doing ethnic cleansing and inscribed into law the superiority of one race over all others. I care that billions of our tax dollars are used to fund this project of exterminating another people. If you don't care about the morality of it all, you should care about how huge of a waste it is to spend so much money arming a fascist nation eviscerating children to steal land.

    I am.not denying anything. I am saying that bth potential US Presidents would at best be exactly the same on the genocide issue. And the one that lost would have been marginally better for Palestinians.

    But ultimately, basing voting for the US president on who is shittier between Israel and Palestine, is the stupidest bull shit one can do. Because next time people will be hating Palestine for killing Israelis, and then a few years later we will be back to hating Israel for killing Palestinians. Because these people have always been and will always be at war.
