    The leopards are eating well. I’m actually worried about leopard obesity. So many faces to eat.

    The idea of voting for a candidate with whom you disagree on things upon which you depend for your livelihood or survival is just wild to me.

      They don’t think about any of the social programs that they depend on. It’s about hurting the right people. A platform built on hate. Then they wonder why the leopards ate their face.

      People vote based on what they think the person is like. Harris is boring and the same old. Trump tells it like it is, that’s exciting!
      Nevermind that boring is what you want for government, you want everything to just work. But no, gotta be emotional about it.

      As a school bus driver, I work with a bunch of older people who are already utterly dependent on social security and medicare to have any semblance of a life that doesn’t involve living in a tent in the park and dumpster diving for dinner. They are mostly trumpers. We’re all Teamsters as well, and a few are married lesbians (and these are the most rabidly pro-trump of all). I have made a few attempts to convince them that trump (and Republicans for fucking decades) are out to destroy social security, medicare, unions and gay rights (among lots of other things) - but they reacted to me like I had grown an extra head. Somehow they’ve convinced themselves that the GOP is the original source and the protector of these things.

        Spend all your time on a bus listening to AM Talk Radio year after year after year and see what happens to your brain.

        Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth.

        They do know that just because it’s a Republican porn of choice, Republicans don’t actually hate lesbians, right?

    Just start laughing about loud and point at them with your arm fully extended. We should start shaming people in a more direct primal way again. Shame is probably the most powerful feeling (maybe second to “ahh oh my god I’m dying???” however you want to call that)

      I could not agree more. This is the same bunch that tries to make being liberal a dirty word. They use liberal as epithet, along with things like environmentalist, community organizer, social justice (SJW), or veg*n (“soy boy”). Also: being educated, or in fact, aspiring to anything more than just being a huckster, a sportsball star, or, more recently, an “influencer”.

      About time to start shaming THEM.

    here’s the thing though: they’ll abolish the ACA, and when people start complaining, they’ll just blame everything on mexicans.

    and trump voters will 10000000% believe it

    by jan we will be so consumed by the flavour of the month culture war (trans muslim librarians are coming for your pizza gate!) that they wont even notice its happening.

    by the time they need it they’ll forget who even took it away.

    by the time they vote they’ll just think trump saved them from leftist death panels or some shit.

      I’m over giving a fuck about them at this point. It’s tired, old hat, doesn’t really even bother me anymore. I know they’re saying shit to enrage people but when you see enough of it, it eventually just stops registering. I’m sure they’ll still find takers for their stupid games but i also suspect others are also moving on from giving a fuck too. How long can you really play games like that before you finally see them for what they are? Bunch of miserable twats trying to drag everyone else down to their level. I take comfort knowing i live a happier life than them, that all they have is hate. It’s actually kind of sad, really

    The assumption to make here is that Trump is willing to try to do everything he’s said. This is a guy who literally tried to ban Muslims after all.

    Personally, I think that the tumult of his administration is going to get in the way of its own agenda, as evidenced by his first presidency. Half of the people on his staff will be gone before the first year is out, and Trump is going to spend more time golfing than he will actually governing. His biggest focus will be on monetizing the presidency, and he surrounds himself with incompetent sycophants.

    These and other factors make it difficult to say what he will actually achieve.

    As for the ACA, it was a conservative court that stopped him the first time, so the SCOTUS is no slam dunk. I don’t think anyone can definitively state what will happen with regards to health care in this country.

      JD Vance was made his running mate cause JD Vance is down with project 2025 and will be doing the actual running of things.

      So it doesnt matter what Trump is off doing. JD Vance will be back at the office, doing the nasty work that trump will rubber stamp.

        You can speculate on that, but history would demonstrate that you’re probably wrong. Hell, Trump tried to get his own VP assassinated last time.

        I’m sure they think they can control Trump, but as we saw from 2016 to 2020, they can’t. That’s especially true at Trump’s age and with his cognitive decline.

          Trump also famously told his VP picks in 2016 that they would run the country, he just wanted the title and perks of the presidency.

          That was 8 years and 3 swaying Ave Marias ago, I doubt he is more motivated to do the job now.

      Normally I would agree with you but I think Donald has lost touch with reality and we are letting a dementia patient run the country. I don’t think we could be in more dangerous territory. I mean, he isn’t even playing golf anymore.

    Oh god dammit.

    It just occurred to me that unless there’s some state thing Im unaware of, when I divorce, once the damn ACA gets pulled she won’t have insurance and I’m on the hook for medical shit for 5~ years.

    God fucking dammit. Just another reason these goddamn Nazi bastards needed to be taken care of before the election.

        I’m going to just assume that this is a man so he’ll be able to divorce just fine. Getting rid of no fault divorce is just for women so they are kept in the marriage where they’re abused.

        I’m attempting to get the divorce done before that occurs.

        And I can prove fault if necessary I just really don’t want to dig that shit up again. The memory of discovering the affair was bad enough.

        And like the guy below said I’m a dude

      Well I kept saying that and the responses were- without fail- “you first, tough guy!”, “go back to twitter, ammosexual!”, “if we dont respect free speech for Nazis then they wont respect ours when they gain power!”, and “you’re the REAL Nazi!!”

      So I hope trumptards get every single fucking thing they voted for.
