Everybody knows the orange utan is a fucking pedo. The real questions is who's going to deal with him when the DoJ is corrupt to the core, and his sycophantic spineless GOP congresscritters and senators choose to let him get away with it.

November can't come fast enough.

Unfortunately, there are people who don't believe her. Whether they're bots or foreign actors sowing chaos, that's hard to say.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Foreign actors ain't the ones who elected this putrid piece of human refuse to the highest office in the land TWICE. It's the great retardnation of America.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, there is a huge percentage of the American people that were conned. Also, he cheated his ass off this last time as well. He did it mostly legally by planting stooges that rigged the elections in various ways into small governments. But he also admitted to fucking with the machines by saying he had the election won, don't worry months before the election.

I'm not sure of how close it would have been without the above things happening. Also, most people don't realize that it's usually 1-2% of who voted who decide the election. Not a huge amount of people comparatively speaking.

2020

  • Trump: 74,223,975
  • Biden: 81,283,501

2024

  • Trump: 77,303,568 votes
  • Harris: 75,019,230

You miss the point.

The finer points of the crazy US electoral system shouldn't even enter into any of this: the single, most damning fact in both elections is that 77 MILLION morons voted for Trump, when it should have been 77 THOUSAND at the most if the population had a normal median IQ.

That's the problem. That many people voting for this turd the first time can be construed as a mistake, or a con, or something forgivable. But whoever voted for this guy after his felony convictions, his sex-related convictions, lying 30,573 times to the American public during his first term, and after J6 is either certifiably insane or wanted this shit in the White House.

In other words, at least 22% of the total US population is either Nazi adjacent, completely unconcerned by morality and decency, or completely retarded. Probably all three.

Trump isn't a disease. He's a symptom. And the 22% will do it again - guaranteed.

It's happening all over the world. Russia hasn't had a fair election in eons. Orban being ousted was a breath of fresh air, but every single major world power has people almost winning or winning from the far right. *Japan has a far right PM.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can well believe that the entire world is becoming dumb. But the US sure is leading the charge.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

I would say that we're all equally dumb. If other countries don't see America as a warning sign and still vote far right, that's pretty fucking dumb. For example,

  • Brexit was a fiasco that was based on an unofficial vote and then somehow got pushed through.
  • How do the Russian citizens keep putting up with Putin? That started way before the US. Putin went to war with Ukraine and said it would take 3 days. Where are we at now?
  • China has a huge population, they go along.
  • Japan, how are you going backwards on rights for your citizens.

Bottom line, it's really hard to resist authoritarian regimes once they're in power. The propaganda alone is huge and the oligarch money is controlling everything.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Japan has a far right PM.

And even she hates Trump.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

I find it funny that the response to "the election machines were rigged" is "that shouldn't matter as long as more people vote against him".

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

most damning fact in both elections is that 77 MILLION morons voted for Trump

Not only voted for him, but also repeat his lies, buy into his crypto and other fraudulent fundraising schemes, buy his merch (seriously, outside of an election period, who buys politician's merch?), and are somehow convinced that the damage he is doing to their country is justified.

[–] postcapitalism@lemmy.today -3 points 1 week ago

Your language is ableist and anti-neurodivergent good sir/maam. Otherwise I agree

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

All they had to do was flip the top race in only seven swing states. That's how they ended up with millions of ballots with straight Democrat tickets, except Trump at the top. NOBODY votes that way.

They had two experienced, professional hacking teams on the case, of course it was rigged.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

I hate to say it but to core MAGA, having undeniable proof that he molested kids doesn't matter.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Probably domestic actors at this point.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's going to eventually go down hard, and all those collaborators who helped him need to go down, too.

We can accept nothing less than the full, total crushing of MAGA, and it's total purge from our government, and that includes ANYONE who showed any support of MAGA in any way. Future dipshits will know that supporting treason is a very dangerous career move.

[–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree, but I am afraid democrats if they ever regain power will just say we need to move on and nothing will happen. They have done it before and I expect they will do it again.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If we tell them that we expect them to do nothing as usual, that's exactly what they'll do. If you indicate that we'll accept their political malpractice AGAIN, that's what they'll do, AGAIN. They are politicians they are inherently lazy and stupid, and they will always take the path of least resistance, so let's not make cowardice easy for them.

We are in unprecedented times, and it will require unprecedented solutions. We can't fall back on the predictable patterns that got us here. Any politicians who attempt to use their cowardly strategies that have already proven to be failures over and over need to be removed immediately.

We cannot, and will not accept that under any circumstances. Any Democrat who attempts to defend or support MAGA traitors when this over will be considered a collaborator and a traitor themselves, and tossed into the pile of indictments, too.

If you aren't ferociously anti-MAGA, then you're MAGA.

[–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I get that but since when do democrats listen to their base? Last I checked they can't even oppose genocide and war even though their base wants them to.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

That's changing. They just had a vote on aid to Israel, and most Dems opposed it for the first time. Not Schmuck Schumer, of course. Israel is his main priority, not American citizens, and certainly not his NY State constituents.

Schmuckie-boy aside, the Dems are starting to listen. Last Fall, they abandoned their shutdown when it hit the airports, and their political donors started screaming. Dem constituents went ape shit, and it scared the crap out of the politicians. This year, when the shutdown hit the airports, they stepped back and let chaos reign. That was a direct result of listening to voter outrage after last fall.

The Dems are starting to run scared of the citizens, but the MAGAs are still too stupid to figure it out. They'll keep doubling down on their virtuosic incompetence and arrogance to their doom. They're the type who will keep yelling defiantly as the noose is placed over their neck and the lever is pulled, with their last words ending in mid-sentence.

Let's oblige them.

Unfortunately, it cannot be said often enough: none of the guilty parties will ever be held accountable unless U.S. citizens finally stand up for the victims and for themselves.

The U.S. legal system is a farce, rotten to the core, as this particularly repugnant case - and many others - demonstrates.

This system will never reform itself - not even under a Democratic administration, assuming elections are even held anymore.

There is no alternative but to accept the hardships of resistance if justice and a halfway decent life are ever to be possible in the richest country in the world.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This has been around and I've seen it shared early. They don't care because they're ok with what a monster he is.

They like that he's a monster.

A couple of people were, but the secret service managed to prevent them from fully and permanently expressing the level of their displeasure.

“Hillary and Benghazi”

“Hunter Biden”

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Jim McGovern is some serious nominative determinism. He and Joe Representative were made for the job.

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ya but it's like a women, can we really trust anything she says?

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

then do something about it, repub.

Tired of people waving evidence into the air and nobody do anything about it.

[–] vodka@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's a Democrat and trying to do something about it.

The "Rep." is for Representative Of the House (Congress member)

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

its been a year of them doing this and they've made no progress. nothing is happening.

[–] vodka@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agreed, it's terrible.

But this is one of the few guys actually making an honest effort.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Optics without substance, if he can't get his fellows to act. He's just as ineffective. Don't fault him for trying, I fault him for not making any collective move against him past paper pushing.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who is downvoting you? Nothing is happening, that is a fact.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Edited to be even clearer on what I think about some of these softies.

Libs or more specifically, Lib americans who don't like getting called out for being ineffective to useless.

Because that is what they are rn.

The idea the USA's buricratic processes will work is laughable, Donald's group wipes its ass with the word of law, that has already staged a coup the first time, like they wouldn't try again, they don't want to accept the fact they'll actually have to stick they're necks out to beat them.

There has never been a diplomatic solution for removing a fascist/athoritarian from power without courcing them with violence if they don't comply.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

And nothing will happen
