Why is it rising?
Because that was the fucking platform he ran on. The "you won't have to vote again" platform. I know that the orange turdsack has more shit leave his mouth in an hour than he deposits into his Depends in a day, but ffs, did everyone just forget this slip?
He's bringing what he promised. Anyone claiming they didn't know this was coming are either room temp IQ in Celsius and shouldn't even have the right to vote, or are lying through their teeth. People have been warning about this since 2015, but nobody took it seriously, and well... Here we fucking are.
And this will only ever get worse. Mango Mussolini has entrenched himself as Glorious Leader, and even in his death, there will be people to take over. MAGA won't even matter anymore because they're building out the framework of never giving up power, right in front of your fucking faces, you flag-shagging, "freedom"-loving, burger munching morons who voted for him or didn't even bother to get your fat asses out of your couches. This is on you all. All the ones who went "but I can't vote for Harris", fuck off. You couldn't hold your nose to at least preserve the semblance of democracy, and now the whole world has to suffer your insufferable arrogance. Fuck you all, seriously.
Because see, I'm not a US citizen nor do I live in your third world shithole country. Yet your moronic "cleanliness" political ideology is affecting me, without me having a say. You couldn't be bothered to do against fascism because it wasn't convenient. Well tough titties.
My only hope is that the US collapses as the house of diarrhea-soaked cards it is, and whatever emerges from it will learn from the mistakes made.
Tough talk for someone not living here. Everybody wanna fight fascism until it's your ass on the line. You have no idea what it's like in the US. It's not like most votes matter or there is any real organization on the left. We also have jobs, health insurance, families and other responsibilities than whatever bullshit goes on in Washington.
This right here. This whole attitude is why the world thinks us Americans are getting what we deserve. It's your own fucking responsibility to save yourself asshole, and if you weren't bugging every damn person you know to vote last November then, well, this is why the world thinks we're getting what we deserve. Way too fucking many Americans refuse to take responsibility for their own disengagement from civic duty. It is literally your and my goddamn duty as fucking citizens to be informed educated and engaged with the civic process. We collectively fucked around and are now finding out. Own your part. I own mine.
