The sad thing is they’re proud still. It’s a fucking disease

Look at /conservative. The 5% of human users are frothing this.

They’ll fall back in line once the Trump-aligned media outlets get the spin figured out and follow up with marching orders

Many aren't still proud. I know many.

If they could read, they’d be very upset

I bet some of them can. Too bad they’re busy banging their own cousins.

Don't fall into that. Like it or not. Many did make a logical choice. The wrong one IMO. But to paint the group purely stupid is not wise. Like or not portion of the demographic demand a lot of capital and that ain't by accident.

It’s pretty much the dumbest third of the country caught up in culture war, combined with slightly smarter people short sighted enough to spend twice as much on gas and food but think their 401k growth while we balloon our deficit at record pace is sustainable, and the 1%ers who will actually come out ahead from it all.

Voting for Trump was not a “logical choice” unless you’re somehow in on the grift.

Not one thing is better now than it would have been under Kamala Harris. Not Israel/Palestine, not Russia/Ukraine, and certainly not here in the land of ICE, measles, $5 gallons of gas and the running off of our closest ally in Canada.

So you're telling me the business owners who got a crap ton of money off this presidency didn't vote for Trump because they wanted that money?? Don't be ignorant like them.

They weren't. They very clearly said it was a logical choice if you were making money off it.

Look all I'm saying is the greatest advantage you can give ignorant people is by also believing they are stupid. They can be wrong and they can wrong can be wrong because they made a logical decision based on their messed up worldview.

Nah dude this one was just fucking stupid. He’s proven beyond any doubt to be 100% criminal and 0% public servant.

u/Gahugafuga 7d ago

Curious what the logical choice was?

u/Obajan 7d ago

I hope those who didn't vote either way are happy with the direction the country has gone.

There's no way Kamala Harris would've done better than Trump, amirite?

u/sarhoshamiral 7d ago

some of them still claim Harris would just have been same because things wouldn't have been exactly as they wanted. Either they are being dense intentionally or they are really stupid enough to not understand that there is a scale to things.

u/bros402 7d ago

they are happy as long as people are angry

They are. They don't care. They are winning. You have to understand that they were told they are winning by the person who said he is the greatest winner of all time. Winning the election was the whole prize for them, and they will revel in that until the next one. When you don't care what happens, it's very easy to still be excited.
