46% of Americans still support all of this. We’re a doomed nation full of Nazis. I feel like it’s going to get genocide/Great Depression bad.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Someone smarter than me once said:
The dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed.......
voters threw away their future so they could "help" the poor people in Gaza from getting bombed by "the evil democrats". I SWORE UP AND DOWN voluntarily making things worse for us because it might help some poor people on the other side of the world was the wrong move and I was vilified for this opinion by everyone in existence.
Now Gaza is still getting bombed and they are additionally committing war crimes against American people instead of just Gazans. Fuck me. Even feral animals have the ability to watch out for themselves better than this season's swing voters did.
I'm convinced those people spamming that shit were bots / Russians / shills. Because as soon as the Democrats lost, they were gone.
The problem is that the damage was done. For all of the intellectual superiority we like to profess, plenty on the left are dumb as bricks and easily swayed by propaganda and bullshit.
That being said, I'm not sure they're wrong. World opinion is turning against the US and by extension what the administration stands for right now.
I won't be surprised if the next elections mark a real turning point in support for Palestinians.
Only place he should be backed is to a stone wall with a blindfold and 9 deputies lined up drawing a bead on him
You signed up for all of it and everyone that was opposite of you told you it’s fucking predictable it was going to happen. Even yelled out project 2025, it was right there in your face. But you don’t read a damn thing, of course you weren’t going to read that book like you don’t read the Bible. Stop. Falling. For. Obvious. Bullshit.
Well, he's right on that at least.
Tbf, some of the things he said or what’s on Project 2025 is there… people just voted for him cause he said, “I’ll make your price of eggs go lower.”
I heard some variant of, "He lies all the time, so I don't think he's serious about tariffs/Project 2025."
Which is interesting to square with the thought of, "He tells it like it is, so I trust him."
But I don't live with chronic cognitive dissonance, which I assume these people accept as just another uncomfortable feeling humans have to live with. Like aches that persist with age, or feeling exhaustion at the thought of getting out of bed and going to work. That flicker of doubt from seeing that your beliefs contradict each other is just another sensation that needs to be suppressed and ignored.
Do we really think people voted Trump based on eggs? I think we need to read between the lines here.

Lower than the cost in September, that’s why they’re cheering him on for that
This is literally irrelevant. That was the height of the bird flu. It wasn’t Bidens fault and if Biden had been reelected it would have sorted itself out, most likely faster because Biden would have actually made decisions based on fact and science.
I never claimed they argued in good faith
I didn't back him. I didn't sign up. Can I be excused please?
"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos"
Consumes Simpsons enough to adopt it as an ideology.
"I'm wicked smhart."
Really just that one line, its been very useful in today's clownworld
Clownworld brought to by ass blasting supreme^tm ceral and fast food, it's meatacular!
Nope. Welcome to Democracy.
The US hasn’t been a democracy for a long, long time.
Yes. Unfortunately we all have to suffer because a quarter of the US population is as ignorant as a box of rocks.
That being said, he also has the option of not destroying the US economy. Nobody is forcing him to recklessly abolish society.
More than a quarter. Include everyone who didn't vote...
A box of rocks would at least have the sense not to vote for a fascist criminal.
And not a one, including himself, understood what tariffs were.
Now when we tell people they voted for this we can point them to their best buddy saying it too.
Exactly, this is not the policies of just one (although completely mental) guy. This is republican politics.

He also said tariffs were a tax that other countries paid...so there may have been some confusion over what exactly they were agreeing to.
It doesn’t matter who pays the tariff. Anyone with half a brain knows that the cost will be passed down to the consumer either way.

He said the economy would go up on day one, prices would go down and America would be in a golden age.
He said the economy was doing great in 2024 because people were predicting He would win the election, and then when the economy went down in 2025 he put all the blame on Biden.
I said this in 2016: he doesnt mean anything he says, he just says whatever he thinks in that moment will get him what he wants. He lies so frequently that you might as well just disregard everything he says because it doesnt have any basis in reality.
