I have a coworker who I respect greatly because she is a nice person and she does great work. I have no reason not to like her and treat her as one of my best coworkers. We work in IT management for a large organization. She is educated, smart, coherent, and like I said, she is one of the best that I get to work with. I’m thankful for her.

But man is she brainwashed by Fox. We once got into a conversation on politics in 2024 and it became clear to me that she was voting for Trump. She thought Kamala couldn’t string a sentence together and that things had been better under Trump. We respectfully disagreed.

Politics came up again a couple of days ago. She offered that she was pissed that gas prices were so high. She offered that she felt betrayed, etc. I felt like it was progress in her opening up to the idea that Trump is a turd UNTIL she kept on with the What-About-ism with Kamala and then how both sides claim the other side cheated in elections, etc, yada yada. She has a Fox talking point for everything. So we drop it. Life goes on.

Trump’s supporters will give up a little in admitting that Trump is wrong in the Iran war because life has been made even more inconvenient and Trump has broken his campaign promises now time and time again, but it’s still a step too far for them to acknowledge that they couldn’t see this coming or that he really does smell like a turd despite it being so fucking obvious. I can agree that Kamala was going to be an another democratic establishment president, but at least she wouldn’t be terrorizing us all every day.

Our president is an evil dim-witted asshole.

He was elected by well-intentioned but equally dim-witted assholes.

Don't kid yourselves guys, you will have a civil war to fight before it can get any better. And this time i hope you don't "reconcile" with the traitors afterwards.

this was clear from back in 2016

millions of people knowingly voted for him.

millions of people didn't vote cause of gaza (or cause both parties are the same)

his own VP called him a Nazi

now all these people will vote him out cause gas prices are high

i still won't be able to talk to them

I screamed and pounded the keyboard back in 2020 at family. Those same family didn't listen, posted their alternative facts, and voted for him again in 2024. I was a pile of raw nerves back then. Now I am numb. heartbroken and numb. Maybe this was how Cassandra felt when Apollo cursed her.

Trump1.0 might have been excusable, but 2.0? I felt physically sick when they announced election results in '24, halfway across the globe.

This is not about being conservative, or even politics anymore. Or "different opinions". This is an absence of basic decency & common sense. Decades of brainrot. A people spoiled (sorry to the good apples in this analogy).

I completely lost my faith in humanity in 2016, don't see any chance to regain it.

Sometimes it feels like the entire country has stockholm syndrome

Should say Child Rapist

Maybe elect him one more time, just in case?

I bet you eleven Internet points he's invading Iran hoping to find some ancient magical artifact to make himself immortal.

Back in 2019 I was certain that putin only had a couple years left in him. He started stuttering, mixing up words, could barely walk by himself, always looked disoriented etc. And yet a pandemic, war and 7 years later he's still fucking alive and relatively well.

If you have an unlimited budget, you can now extend your life by decades. Honestly trump may actually make it to 100 or something.

Pro-life, amirite?

It already was. Fun fact, Penn Wharton just came out with a full breakdown of federal spending as it pertains to civil benefits with regards to your age. In other words, how much the government spends on its citizens according to age. For fiscal year 2025, the federal government is spending $43,700 for every person over the age of 64. Conversely, it spends $4,300 on every person under the age of 26. That works out to the government spending 10x more on elderly people than children.

The full breakdown is here if anyone is interested. We're great again!!

The benefit is industrial scale insider trading for family and friends.

The benefit is murdering brown people on behalf of another crusader nation with pedophile leverage on the person in what was at least the most powerful office on the planet. Duh.

Be the change you want to see in the world

I’m sure he could rename healthcare to war care anytime soon.

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice... fiddle-dee-dee

Proofread, sometimes.

Yeah it's like that meme with the old white guys laughing at the gullible able poors. I think that every night he laughs at the magats for being so gullible.

He ran on "LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S GREAT, VERY GREAT, IT'S THE BEST, IT'S VERY BEST, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE, THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA, EVERYTHING FAKE, I'M AWESOME, THE MOST AWESOME, THE BEST MOST AWESOME, MANY PEOPLE SAY"

And people literally fell for that shit. That was his whole program.

He actually said that, he said that with his magic tariffs ™ there will be billions available for daycares https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-harris-corporate-taxes-15ba5ecfdf5e907bd9b2c349b07222b8

It's still the Confederate army, they never went away. They were defeated, then left alone for a century and half. It's basically a 160 year long insurgency, kind of like Afghanistan, rural uneducated land controlled by faith based extremism. The South never stopped fighting, after the war they just kept waging it by other means.

And currently they're winning.
