You elected him twice. Feel bad? Do something about it
Yea it’s the second election that gets me. That was the exact moment it was “majority of Americans are stupid”.
I remember him abandoning an entire event on the campaign trail for an interview or something.
Another where he had them hit the music and he just swayed silently on the stage.
Watching him win again was surreal, even if we can ignore his entire clusterfuck of a first term.
I’m still convinced there was serious vote fraud in the 3 swing states that flipped for only him, but not for other republicans on the ticket. Too weird.
Musk was just announced to have violated the voting laws in Georgia. He also set up fake raffles in swing states and (maybe) gave a couple dicks a million bucks.
Don himself bregge that Elon is really smart about voting machines.
Don't overestimate the legitimacy of US elections. Voter repression is rife, before even getting into media ownership laws.
There are literally decades of news stories about people in majority black areas waiting hours to vote, even 11 hours. Imagine trying to do that if you're sick or disabled, which is more likely when you're a minority. Or if your job can fire you at will because there are no protections. Then there's the gerrymandering to make that vote worthless anyway. And the voter ID laws, which again are harder for people from minority backgrounds to comply with. The corruption is systemic and started in the foundations.
The Obama and Biden administrations also chose not to pursue these problems. They didn't want to set the "political witchhunt" precedent that conservative media were warning about.
Next election, I expect to hear about huge quantities of ICE "observers" at polling places.
They areent stupid. They excuse themselves with stupidity to avoid responsibility.
They walked into this eyes wide open. They CHOSE this. Don't fall for their 'we are stupid' excuse.
The first election was pants-on-head stupid
It was literally the result of a publicity stunt to keep The Apprentice on the air. He paid a crowd in front of Trump tower and the whole country bought it.
And not in the haha funny way during the first election
it was rigged sadly. an actual stolen election.
Yeah, I don't see much sympathy for Russians from USians, but apparently they want some when they had actual elections and chose Trump.
