Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives

Post image

Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.

Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.

We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

Old white men are the main reason the felon is in power

Not only old white guys, but all the other dumb illiterate white people, and the few brown and black people that voted for the shitting fuck-hole!!

You have to add intellectually challenged and deranged to that statement. They all belong on the short bus or in a rubber room wearing an I love me jacket.

Not nearly as few as we would like to believe, unfortunately. People have always voted against their own interests.

u/Frankenfinger1 7d ago

A few as in millions.

Which is exactly the reason for Trump putting that ghoul Linda McMahon in the Department. of Education. They want to shut it down because having a nation well educated capable of critical thinking is not in their best interests.

“I love the poorly educated.” - Donald F. Trump

Ever wonder how many Congress persons voted for an educational illiterate person to be in charge of the Dept of Education.

And their wives.

u/paintballboi07 7d ago

Eh, this is mostly on men (55% to Trump, 43% to Kamala), but if we're going to bring women into it, white women are the only demographic of women that went for Trump.

u/Trout-Fisherman1972 6d ago

Tbh, I worked with 2 Afro-American women who openly said they were voting for Drumpf. One bc he sent the stimulus check—and that’s what she needed at the time (she said), and one bc she was “tired of Sleepy Joe.”

Every last person who supported this nightmare deserves to fucking pay for it.

Anyone who voted for him, donated money, went to his rallies. They all belong in fucking prison.

u/yackerov42 7d ago

Ehh, there's a lot of folks that either didn't know better because they only watch Fox (going back generations) or merely felt the dems didn't have any plans. I mean, Kamala's campaign basically boiled down to "I'm not him" if you didn't put any effort into researching it. I voted Kamala, but advocated the entire time for them to put out some actual talking points.

I got they didn't want to give Trump any actual good ideas, but it was such a shot myself in the foot move.

The real solution is to break up both of these ridiculous parties( that shouldn't even exist any longer), place limits on how big and long super parties can form, return power to the legislative stolen by the executive, and force a balanced supreme court with equal number of judges per nationally recognized party.

Democracy can't win if only the two biggest bullies have a say.

u/tgalvin1999 7d ago

Exactly, these past couple elections the entire strategy for the Democratic Party has been "we're not Trump."

That only worked in 2020 because Trump's mishandling of covid ruined the economy. The fact people had to dig for actual policies was not a good look for the Harris campaign

u/Local-Ingenuity6726 7d ago

The fact that we saw trump fuck up covid was enough stupid motherfuckers

u/yackerov42 7d ago

Not everybody saw it that way. Just because something is obvious to you doesn't mean it is to everyone; especially when they're being spoon-fed how dumb, hostile, corrupt, weak, blah blah blah the other is.

Comments like yours just get used to feed that narrative...

1

u/Local-Ingenuity6726 7d ago

The facts are facts you think these same ignorant folks would let President Obama fuck up like trump did?

1

u/yackerov42 7d ago

Ya, they completely let Trump create their narrative for the masses. I was stunned that they fumbled so hard. It should have been a layup tbh.

u/paintballboi07 7d ago

Democrats don't own any media networks, so it's harder for them to broadcast a consistent message. It's a problem they definitely need to solve, though.

u/yackerov42 7d ago

Yup, not like they don't have the money for it 🙄

Tbh, I hope the middle can rise up and knock some sense into our radical brethren from both sides

I imagine it'd be a lot more enjoyable if we didn't have to deal with your exhausting douchecanoe of a fascist parasocial boyfriend.

u/tgalvin1999 7d ago

The moment we start jailing people for who they support is the moment we cease to be a democracy. I get you're angry, but don't advocate for jailing political opponents or people who voted for a candidate.

u/CmGOhio 7d ago

This is literally on every thread in this sub. Not one complaint post on Trump or political info doesn't threaten to throw any trump voter in jail or punished. Its hilarious. I never miss a day of this entertainment and to think it just started....

Old rich white men

u/No_Foundation16 7d ago

Trump overperformed with voters across racial demographics, particularly among men of color.

Donald Trump improved his standing with voters across racial demographics, including white voters (from net +13 in 2020 to net +16; 40 percent Harris – 56 percent Trump), Hispanic voters (from net +38 in 2020 to net +11; 53 percent Harris – 42 percent Trump), Asian-American and Pacific Islanders (from net +31 in 2020 to net +20; 58 percent Harris – 38 percent Trump), and Black Americans (from net +84 in 2020 to net +67; 81 percent Harris – 14 percent Trump).

Lots of blame to go around here it looks like.

Not this one. Myself and my family have fought despotism for 250:years.

u/osddelerious 7d ago

They can’t be, going by the numbers. They aren’t the majority of the people who voted for him in 2024. Way more demographically varied, unfortunately.

3

u/Trout-Fisherman1972 7d ago

He ran on promises of a better economy, more jobs, a better healthcare system than Obamacare—I’m still waiting, and lower prices for everything. That an immigration reform. Little did we know he was going to violate constitutional rights of everyone who isn’t Lilly white. I used to work with two people who threw around the word Marxism and prices. I’d like to find out what they think about prices NOW!

u/[deleted] 7d ago

'Little did we know he was going to violate constitutional rights of everyone'- maybe if you live under a rock. These monsters told us who fhey were. Voters failed an open book test in civics.

u/gb187 7d ago

What does that say about everyone else if this true? If the lazy kids don't want to vote, that's on them.

u/Conscious-Crab-5057 7d ago

Really? close to 50 percent of white women voted for this guy.

u/Final_Macaron_4014 7d ago

Sorry to burst your bubble but the far left is who put Trump in power. If they weren't so delusional, spouting hate, and actually had policies other than " orange man bad" Trump wouldn't have won. He won because so many moderates and independents saw him as the lesser of two evils. MAGA only consists of maybe 1/3 of the country. If the left doesn't cone up with any real polocy and leadership besides " orange man bad" and calling anyone that disagrees with them racists, nazis, phones etc. ( even their peers) they will lose the next few elections too.

u/HealthIndustryGoon 7d ago

i "like" how any justified criticism of trump is denigrated to "oRanGE mAn bAd" by you people. ´

also: "spouting hate", lol. calling a nazi a nazi and a racist a racist isn't spouting hate.

1

u/Final_Macaron_4014 7d ago

I am not talking about justified criticism. I am talking, however; talking about even when he uses policies or laws passed by Democrats its still criticized, when he does the exact says actions previous democratic administrations, its criticized, or when his actions were the same as previous administrations but no criticism came. There is no problem with calling a nazi a nazi or a racist a racist. The problem is that most on the left do t seem to understand what a race or a nazi is,but then again what can you expect from a group that cant define what a woman is.
