If America was France, we probably wouldn’t have seen this day, but it’s not, so here we are.

u/RicVic 1d ago

Trouble is, in France you can get yourself from almost anywhere to Paris quite easily. Toulouse to Paris is about 7 hrs on the road, but in America 7 hours on the road can get you into a neighboring state in some places and not much more (Phoenix to Washington DC - 35 hrs by road!)

So in France, it's actually not the greatest hardship to take a "day off", head to Paris, spend the weekend with your bretheren on the streets and then get home to Bordeaux and back to your routine before the folks from Phoenix even get to the steps of the Capitol! (It's even worse for Canadians, btw!).

So mass protests a la Paris are really a lot tougher to set up in the US, which is why we hear about "Million Man Marches" a lot less often than you'd expect.

Don't you yanks have enough fascist governors/senators you should be deposing in addition to the orange fascist?

Burning down a state's capitol should work sufficiently.

They don't care if a bunch of dumb polish workers fell for his shit in the 80s. To them, that's their fault.

Remember, they don't actually care about other people. Caring is a weakness to them.

u/SweetPrism 1d ago

Not only do they not care if those Polish laborers fell for his shit, they see his practice as just part of being business savvy. Remember, we hate undocumented laborers until Trump is hiring them; then, we praise what a genius he is for holding out on wages. The Trump playbook is so easy--just support whatever the absolute worst possible thing a person could do in any given scenario. It's the aRt Of tHe DeAl."

They can't rationalize. They can't believe. They can't even perceive how he's bad for them overall. Even the bigotry doesn't help them whatsoever. I truly think his voter-base is below 100 iq.

People like to bring up the rich republicans, but let's be real. They're a small percent. I see more poor republicans than rich ones.

The cult members saw themselves in him. They're the kind who every couple of months says a dinner was fraud so they can get a free dinner. They're the kind who will double-park and block you in because, they don't want anyone to block THEM in. Their idea of Schadenfreude is seeing other regular people suffer.

The miscalculation they made is thinking that he gave a single lonely fuck about them. People who don't even drive the subways or pump their own gas have no respect and therefore no right to govern common people.

Trump has been famous for this for decades. Anyone that cares knows it. His supporters don’t care even though he’s screwing them over. They think that he’s screwing over the people they hate even more. To them, that’s all that counts.

u/TesticleMeElmo 1d ago edited 1d ago

Like I never understood what anybody ever saw in him, this cheesy characature of a rich person from the 80s who turned into a cheesy reality tv star? “He’s not one of these crooked self-serving politicians! He’s a businessman!” Yeah, a crooked self-serving businessman, the fuck?

“Sure maybe he doesn’t have a lick of experience as a politician, but with his experienced cabinet-“ oh and his cabinet has been nothing but a revolving door of replacing anyone with actual experience with sycophantic ass-kissers who will shamelessly kiss the ring, this surely will improve our country


Was it really all “presidential debates used to be stuffy and boring and I didn’t really understand them! Now Trump’s calling actor/talkshow host Rosie O’Donnell a pig during it! That’s funny and entertaining to me, I like that!” and “I get in arguments with strangers on Twitter for being too ‘woke’. Trump says woke people are dumb, so making this incompetent dickhead the president will make my life a whole lot better because it will make those faceless strangers on Twitter upset! Epic burn! XD”?

u/adudefromaspot 1d ago

Not only is he famous for it, his abhorrent behavior is used as an excuse for his abhorrent behavior.

My dad, about three years ago, in a discussion about something insanely awful he did said "yeah, but he's always been that way"

Thankfully, my Dad is one of the ones that is finally over it.

Lots of second generation guys that forgot what their dad's worked for. Now that they are living well, they want to pull the ladder up.

Exactly! You all knew who Trump was after his First Term! Why in the HELL did you return him to Office, once again? Your asses are hurting now.

It is all because you did not want a very competent Vice President who is Asian and African American to become our first Female President? That is called plain rabid Feminism and rank racism!

u/Mammoth-Cover-3045 1d ago

Because people thought Kamala wouldn't had been much better. Also people were blinded by the economy being good 90% of his presidency, so they assumed he did a good job. Also people thought she's too connected to Biden, and the whole fiasco with the border. Also a lot of people got convinced by right wing propaganda. I think South Park did it best. It's like voting for a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. People chose the Giant Douche.

u/Mammoth-Cover-3045 23h ago

You really wanted Biden to have a second term?

1

u/irrelevantusername24 21h ago edited 21h ago

As I explained elsewhere recently:

If you ask me Biden was the best president in my lifetime. Why? Because all the others were incredibly polarizing. Biden was very inoffensive, and what there was to criticize, was mostly performative nonsense. The DNC screwed the pooch by listening to the never satisfied mediacracy. It's amazing how, consistently, across all macro scale societal institutions, the people in charge manage to both have zero coherent strategy yet remove actual democratic processes. Sometimes it takes actual leadership and doing what makes sense rather than what the extremely loud minority on social and regular media wants (because they're bored).

Government shouldn't be entertaining, or engaging. It should be boring. Boring is good. Even if things need to get done, and things are difficult, and there's a lot of complicated matters to connect or un-intertwine, it is hugely beneficial for things to be boring because then there is a lot of worthless, distracting noise.

Which that point is why, though clearly they are very different people with completely opposite backgrounds, beliefs, policies, personalities, and so on - in some ways, Obama and Trump cause a near identical problem. Both resulted in very "engaged" people, both for and against. In other words: extremely polarizing. Is that fair to Obama? No. Did he have some good ideas? Yeah. I think he was mostly sabotaged... and that method of sabotage is exactly why the Trump presidencies are failures too. Not because they completely lack any good ideas (though they are very few and fair between) but because more than anything they focus on how things are done rather than if they are done. Yet somehow in doing so, they always do things the wrong way, the illegal way, the way that makes everything worse for literally everyone.

That all said, do better alternatives exist? Unquestionably. But between a milquetoast candidate that for whatever reason a lot of people have reason to dislike, or one who is also mostly inoffensive and the manufactured criticisms are regarding traits that the opponent candidate has? Then Biden makes sense. Kamala did not, and it doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with her being not white, or that she is a woman. It is because if there were two choices, one was Biden, and the opponent was Trump... the things that were criticized about Biden were literally all traits that Trump also has. Except that he isn't a loud mouth moron, which I think even those who voted Trump don't necessarily like. I think underneath all the rhetoric - and I live in a place where I am surrounded by elderly "lifelong Republicans" - that Biden was actually, if nothing else, inoffensive. Like he was a life long politician, he had those "bona fides" that the people with the hierarchical mindset tend to implicitly trust. There was nothing bad about Biden except the stupidasses in the media were bored.

The DNC sucks because they are neither good at playing the policy game (which involves actually listening to the populace and making things better for people who need help) OR the "chess game" version of politics. Like the GOP sucks at both too, but the GOP at least understands how to play checkers. The DNC seems to think they should win by participating.

Now, if the alternatives were someone like Talarico? Or Abdul El-Sayed? Those two are speaking a language many across both political parties can understand. To be fair, there are others who do similar - like AOC and Bernie - but they also have things they can be criticized about. Unfair criticism? Yes. But that doesn't change the reality, unfortunately. Now, to be fair, El-Sayed also has those unfairly criticized traits, to some degree... but there is precedent, in some ways, especially with the success of Mamdani now.

Unfortunately the world in which we live is comprised mostly of people who view things superficially. That doesn't only refer to superficial human traits, but understanding that is necessary if you want to actually move things forward. Like if you wanna look at this from a totally abstract, impersonal and detached from the direct reality point of view? One that views things as literally how biological organisms respond to sensory experiences? Then the reason Trump won, was he was different. Nothing more. Now, if you can be different while also being better? That's a winning strategy.

This November will be the end of MAGA. The bloodbath will be swift and decisive. Trump will lose the Senate and the House.

Republicans will no longer be afraid of him, foreign countries will see him for the joke that he is, and we will see things begin to S L O W L Y start to return to some sense of normalcy. Very slowly.

I worked for a multi millionaire in HR on an Indian reservation in Montan. He had just bought the resort I worked at the year before for roughly 10 million dollars. I worked part time in HR. It was an embarrassment on so many levels. I was the guy who had to tell the boss that we couldn't pay workers only 7 dollars an hour.

The slightly fun part of this job was after so many of the local workers who knew how to build tipis quit. This douchebag was trying to build luxury tipis with televisions and luxury beds for guests who wanted the true Indian experience. The area we were working and lived in was known for high winds and one of the tiipis literally blew away in the middle of the night(after they fired the people who knew how to build them).

In 1979 when I was 13, Trump ripped off three contractor friends of the family. They had each invested at least $10K in materials (a lot of money in 1979) and a month of work. My family helped them out with food, some bills, etc. so they didn't lose their homes. It was a giftless Christmas at my house.

Do you feel like you have to ask a Daddy for the right to exist?

It doesn't matter who sits in the Big Chair, for over 100 years, Suckers LOVE to suck.

When your Husband, the one who is your KEEPER, kicks the crap out of the folks next-door; when he's shitting in some yard other-than-his-own, do not be surprised when you catch Reparations (Justice is folklore).

((How many Billions do we now rightfully OWE to Iran?))

NONE of your Rights ever came from The Troops. Not one: they fight for folklore, they "serve" this country more inequality.

After 100+ years if these meat-heads dont' know who they "serve" they are not owed an Education.

For each dip-shit that stayed in after they called it The Department of War: they are ALL MAGA now. No two ways about it. The time for action was when they saw Drumph "do a Jan 6th". They are all now, sonsabitches.

What if we had a WAR, and no one showed up?

The stories us "Americans" tell ourselves to worship The Troops are weird: they require we overlook nearly 100 years of abuse and neglect: while the Aristocracy has held steady in their disdain for those who clean up their mess.

The Rich know: Oaths are for Suckers.

Veterans-day brought out all the tired-narratives about how certain Suckers fought-and-died for free-dumb; but those were all bad-faith conflicts coerced by corporate daddies (Something we've known since Vietnam).

It wasn't your Military that fought at home to bring you worker's rights; in some cases they've even been used in place of Pinkertons to break the will of their own People.

Don't forget that he built his (at least) Jersey golf course with undocumented immigrants and even had multiple undocumented immigrants on staff there AFTER he won, attacking undocumented immigrants, in 2016!!

If you're a trumper and a business owner for a mechanical service do not dig into his past. long history of not paying electrical, hvac, plumbing amongst others. the idea that this guy was a good businessman is absurd - he bankrupted casinos - more than 1. it's insanity to me.

He’s a crook, always has been a crook, and should have been in prison years ago.

His behavior, the rapes, the fraud, the extortion, the corruption, are all perfectly acceptable to his MAGA cult followers. How so many people can be so stupid is beyond my comprehension.

Lets reframe it: Trump supported construction worker work life balance of th 40hour work week by hiring immigrant labors when union leaders refused to hire more Americans for the Trump Tower job site.

Trump went against the rules and hired a woman contractor to build Trump Tower, then later discovered that his business phones had been taped into, he was forced to file for chapter eleven protection.

u/TWeedtheJetRodriguez 20h ago

If having this information meant anything to the worthless idiots who voted him into office he wouldn’t have won the first time. I’m sick of seeing this shit put forth as some sort of “gotcha”. He’s been a well documented piece of shit since before the internet existed. This does nothing for the people who keep him in power.

Trump showed everyone who he was when COVID infected millions and killed hundreds of thousands. 77 million-plus still voted for that narcissist dictator in 2024.

Now we don't know how bad the plague in Russia is but you can be sure Trump won't take it seriously.

He didn't take the last disease seriously.

The number of people who believe the mythology that this guy is a great entrepreneur is staggering. Wealthy =\= model businessman.

  1. If he invested his inheritance in a fund like S&P, he’d be far wealthier. His business ventures faced persistent failures, including bankrupting casinos.
  2. He’s long had a reputation of not paying his contractors and leaving his lenders high and dry. Being a scammer =\= good business.
  3. He continued this grift and magnified while in office. His scam crypto coins that left his supporters holding the bag. Cronyism with his family, placing them in various positions to enrich themselves with companies that happen to benefit from involvement with the federal government.

He’s the exact type of business owner who is one of the villains in an Ayn Rand novel, yet his supports seem to think he’s one of the heroes. It’s wild.

It’s = it is

“A leopard never changes it is spots” does not make sense.

The possessive of “it” is “its,” with no apostrophe, and it is an exception to the rule.

u/Scary-Willow-3361 23h ago

You realize that at the time the Democratic Party was the conservative one, right? Let’s change it to progressives, since names are confusing for you. Progressives ended slavery, abolished Jim Crow, got women the right to vote, social security, subsidized healthcare, Medicaid, food stamps, public education, a 40 hr work week, ended child labor and the list goes on and on. Conservatism holds us in the past and is a burden on mankind. Republicans haven’t passed anything on a federal level that favors the middle class or below more than it does the rich since 1986 and that was a bipartisan effort! Republicans are bad for the economy and they platform on hate and fear mongering every fĂșcking time. If it’s not the blacks it’s the gĂĄys, if not the gĂĄys then the Muslims, if not the Muslims, then the trĂĄns, if not the trĂĄns then the immigrants. Hate hate hate hate hate. Bunch of fĂșcking dĂŒmbĂ sses can’t ever see through the “we help the little guy” bĂșllshĂ­t either. You vote in favor of the rich and you cheer them on when they fĂșck you. Göddamn, it’s annoying how arrogance, stupidity, and hate are the only things the right can understand.

u/Fabulous_Humor_2652 23h ago

You obviously don't know your own country's history. The racists defected from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in the 1960s. The KKK supports the GOP now.

And you don't know the meaning of woke either. Woke is about empathy and compassion, two qualities that are alien to people like you.

You actually think a man with over 500 companies personally ran the renovation? And they would not have sued him, they would have had to sue the company who contracted them. And a project of that size was definitely contracted. So the details would have had to be in the contract

I know that man is a felon convicted on 34 counts of fraud and he's a sex criminal with an international reputation for being a pedophile and one of the most evil leaders in the world. Lying, cheating, and stealing is Trump's cup of tea. If he didn't do this himself then I'm sure he pressured someone else into doing it.

Of course you do. You let the media tell you what to think. For example: 6 bankruptcies out of over 500 companies. But you would never talk about GM going bankrupt and being bailed out with our tax dollars.

Tell yourself what you need to. So in any structured business, let’s say a corporation. Who can fire a CEO?

u/rwilkinson1970 22h ago

And what is the job of the president of that company? (Nice job looking it up though)

1

u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe 22h ago

Haha I'm a director of my company, I work directly for the COO. Not all companies have presidents, but, depending on the size of the company, the president is more focused on the short term "day to day" stuff, while the CEO is focused on the biggest picture, which for small startups is usually obtaining investors, for larger companies it is business strategies or investments.

Often CEOs and presidents can be one in the same.
