Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that greatness can pay to mediocrity.

    I mean, we call it Cologne, Germany, and we renamed Tahoma – the fuck does any of this matter? Dude is accused of fucking children, our economy and the cost of living gets worse by the day, our civil liberties are not so much being violated as much as they are completely ignored and systemically violated, we’ve entered yet another endless war, and he can’t even establish a competent cabinet let alone govern – but sure let’s talk about his goofy executive orders that can be fixed with the stroke of a pen when he’s finally out of office.

      It only matters because people voted Trump in despite him being convicted of so many felonies and despite him being found civilly liable for sexual assault and despite the fact that he’s just so transparently a real life villain.

      So if all of that isn’t convincing, what do you do? One thing is you can emphasize how embarrassing Trump is. Some people will change allegiance just to not feel like an embarrassing loser.

        It’s just increasingly hard for me to believe that there weren’t election shenanigans – how the fuck did this guy get elected a second time?! Not only is that an illustration how terrible our population is at electing people, but it’s also an example of how terrible the Democrats are at selecting and running candidates. Fucking depressing.

          Kamala or Biden still would have been 1000x better than tiny d.

          I would not be surprised at all to learn that the election was rigged.
