It’s almost nostalgic, for the wrong reasons. It came upon me a few minutes ago to realize this. They go parallel with eachother that 20 years ago, people had the same exact defeatist reaction when George W Bush got re-elected when people thought he wouldn’t.
Now, 20 years later, when people thought Trump wouldn’t get elected again, here we are.
Reminder that 50% of people are below average intelligence, and the U.S. specifically rates 29th in the world in intelligence.
MLK Jr. turns in his grave.
Reminder that intelligence is inversely correlated to the capacity to love at an individual level. Stupid Trump voters understand the problem but have no idea how to fix it at scale. Harris voters wish to continue to ignore the problems because they don’t really care about anything more than their individual physical and emotional comforts. They’ve even less of a clue how to fix it at scale. And, everyone else is called stupid and told to shut up.
Be part of that everyone else. We’ll teach you how and why. Then, we’ll respect your choices about who, when, where, and what, especially when we disagree, because those choices are reasoned.
people thought Trump wouldn’t get elected again
A lot of knew that he would get elected again but Democrats kept punching left and told us to shut the fuck up and vote for their neoliberal. In 2028 they will repeat the same mistakes they made in 2024, 2020 and 2016 And are shocked that the results came out the same.
According to Trump, we won’t have elections again.
He says a lot of bullshit things like Biden did, And all piece of shit politicians before them
less poetic, more tragic
we’re going back to jim crow era with mobs lynching people
there are reports of neo nazi groups already marching in the streets, emboldened by trumps win
this is a very dark time
I bet five year olds can make better poetry
No.
The parallel is with not having great choices against him, as well as an established GOP who could pull the votes when they need them. Outside of that, the problems and crimes, and the level of insanity were different.
What about Reagan? Same parallel of weak opposition, for a much longer time since Bush followed, and Clinton was more centrist. Perhaps that’s a start of the movement to the center.
I don’t recall George Bush attempting to cause an overthrow of the US government before.
I don’t remember George W. Bush winning
Elected, but they didn’t say who elected him.
The Supreme Court when they decided to stop the Florida recount and just let Bush be president.
He wasn’t elected; he was appointed.
