    The thing though is that you NEED a centrist government. Just as a pure right wing government ignores the wishes of many, a pure leftwing government will so too.

    I’m not even saying it should be 50/50, you just need actual honest representation.

    That ain’t ever going to happen though with the current first past the post and winner takes all system. You need a representative democracy

    I guess that is the biggest crime the Republican party committed, it polarized society for decades now, taking us to today where families are falling apart over something as stupid as politics

    Next stop: a possible civil war where not only neighbor kill neighbors, but even family kill their own members

    Mind you, I’m not trying to excuse the fascist assholes, but a lot of these people were just people watching the wrong YouTube channel for a while, watching more and more fox news, etc… how would they have been today had they gotten normal content that wasn’t specifically designed to brainwash him?






  • Jesus h. Chist, you ARE the problem in the room. You and people like you.

    Had kamela won she could have doubled down in Israel. If not, mass protests could have pushed her. Something, anything could have been done. Hell, even if nothing was done, at least the worst impulses would have been constrained. Now, because of smug assholes like you, the US will likely become a dictatorship, the US likely will pull out of NATO and the entire fucking world will become a much, much dangerous place to live in. Forget about internal policies that will make racism and discrimination against anyone slightly different okay again, this shit affects the whole goddamn world. People like you ate the reason why a Jesus-will-come-back-if-we-end-the-world cult is now in possession of nukes.

    Oh, and Palestine is absolutely fucked now.expect it to simply and completely disappear, you are the reason why so many men, women and children will be slaughtered

    Thank you!










  • Trump is the most visible person here but the least I’m worried about. It would have been nice to see him rot in jail but alas, here we are.

    I’m much more worried about the extremist cronies he’s surrounded by. First of all, trump is a pupoet, a useful idiot, who is controlled by both Putin and right wing religious extremists. These people will push through the most extremist policies possible, even things like divorce and freedom of religion and expression will soon be on the table soon. Trump will push for a dictatorship “because he’s doing so well” and people will love it for reasons, but Trump won’t live to see the end of this presidency, he’ll die in office. When he does, the religious death cult that wants Jesus back will have prettyich direct control of nukes.

    Maybe I’m a Doomsday guy at this point, so be it, I see the worst him this hell hole situation
