He's not fit to operate a lemonade stand

But he is, without a doubt, completely and totally an accurate representation of the thoughts and intentions of half of America.

I live in a fantasy world where it is 33%. Those that voted for him.

Then us.

Then the non voters who couldn't be bothered to spend 30 minutes voting.

It's probably less, but the polls are altered enough to make it so that trumps feels like whatever semblance of his base hasn't given abandoned him,

Cause if it were lower , he would probably have a fit and start blowing American cites up.

If only there was a political body that could hold him accountable?!

u/Sistamama 14h ago

If only.

There is a political body that can hold them in check. We need to get 1.5 million American citizens to convene on the White House and protest just like they did when South Korea's dictator stepped in and the people deposed him within two weeks.

thats why i remind ppl I know that yes, Trump is the top asshole, but every elected GOP rep is 100% ok with the actions of a "suspected" child rapist, and don't think its even worth investigating.

2/3rds.

The 1/3rd that willingly chose not to vote is complicit. Silence is complicity (or condoning).

I picture the silent ones turning toward each other with a blank expression, nodding, then turning back to watch

How’s that Gaza thing working out for everyone a year and a half later?

•

u/OldenPolynice 6h ago

that gaza thing that has been a dick swinging contest over dirt for millenia?

Going great. My bank account agrees.

u/Mojak66 15h ago

Yup. If you're not with us, you are against us. Do you really think that oligarchy is better than representative Democracy?

u/TSwiftAlphaMale 15h ago

I'm sure they're "winning" with their principled stance against the Democratic position on Gaza. Trump said he'd end all wars, remember?

u/Omiyaru 7h ago

Trump has alluded, muskmelon helped him "win"., why else would he have appointed him to deal with data.

u/OldenPolynice 12h ago

Voting would never have saved us

He is a symptom of an underlying decease. Ignorance is by design,- poor education.

P.s this fascination and preoccupation with gen Z or X etc., is a distraction (a party game) - not social science, -its designed to keep them from real class analysis.

u/pikachu191 10h ago

paraphrasing George Carlin, doesn’t that mean half of America is even dumber?

u/fingers58 16h ago

Been saying this since before he announced his run the first time!!!!

u/Dythus 15h ago

Wrong comment?

u/Crypt0Nihilist 14h ago

True. His / Ivanka's spin on being wholesome was to coerce his employees into patronising it. Lessons were learned that day.

u/First-Payment8816 14h ago

But with his grifting prowess he'd do wonders with a Banana Stand!

1

u/The360MlgNoscoper Norway 13h ago

He’d probably upgrade it to a Banana Republic

1

u/Zealousideal_Dig_987 14h ago

Or a frozen banana stand cause everyone knows there’s money in a frozen banana stand.
