Why are you suprised that we have shitty leadership in this country? We LITERALLY had Joe BIden cheering about Ukrainian soverignty for 3yrs while he provided military support and diplomatic cover for Israel's genocide in Gaza. Selective Moralism is a characteristic of POTUS
You mean the ruling class. Stop bringing this narrative of embarassment o shame being the thing American people should feel. These were never the right words and always sound like propaganda.
Believe me, we are. Many, many of us are horrified, deeply ashamed, and seriously pissed off that so many of our countrymen could be so easily led with lies and fear. In this moment we have few courageous leaders in what should be a roiling opposition, and we recognize we're essentially on our own
little less than half of American's are grieving, shocked, disgusted and feel ashamed of what the other half plus created.
I'm personally still in the shock and disbelief phase of my 5 stages of grief.
The spiteful, vindictive, & vengeful Chump, has never forgiven Zelensky, for his refusal to accept a 'quid pro quo' bribe, in 2019, to find & dig dirt, on Joe Biden, in return for much needed military aid to Ukraine, during Chump's unsuccessful bid, to beat Joe Biden, to the Presidency, in 2020.
No, only those that voted for him should be ashamed. The rest of us aren’t ashamed, we are pissed off that they were that stupid. Honestly though, we know the election was rigged by Elon.
Those who voted for Harris-Walz are embarrassed and disgusted. Those who voted other ways apparently love what’s going on. Those who didn’t vote because they are all the same can live with the repercussions of their choice. But we will be back in power one day, by hook or by crook, and fix this.
You are in a wrong appt. Please go back to X or what ever Elon call it. And don’t forget start deposit your money and use X like a bank. Your pea brain can’t handle intelligent conversations. This app is for adults only.
Bless you for thinking that in 2 or 4 years' time, you get the opportunity to remove this madman. Putin is his role model, and your elections are likely to be as free and fare as Russia's.
We are HERE today bc of Democrats. Joe Biden was supposed to be a transition president. His hubris & the DNC capitulating to a deeply unpopular president & his equally unpopular VP are why we are here + Merrick Garlands failure to prosecute TRUMP + the genocide in Gaza. Not playing this game!
I think all your points are valid in that the Dems didn’t really help themselves, but in the end people made a conscious decision to vote for a man they knew was a criminal, adjudicated rapist & all round vile person who ran a campaign based on hate, lies & fear. That’s on those voters, no one else
National Literacy Institute says that 54% of the American population has a 6th grade literacy level. It is not shocking that economic propaganda and straight up RACISM helped reelect Donald Trump. Democrats ran a weak ass I'm not Donald Trump campaign which was ineffective.
Further, most (>>half) of younger millennials and genz do not care to learn anything civics-wise. They don’t understand our system of government, a democratic-republic, and what benefits that brings. They don’t care about “freedom”; and many say they’d never fight for “it”.
This is NOT just a GenZ thing. Older adults in America in every age group don't know basic civics. It's a part of the reason Americans are so damn easily propagandized. People don't know how gov't works or source credibility. Republicans have done a great job sowing distrust in media & govt.
That's why his pet congress critters have already floated the ways he should try to violate the constitution in this regard to serve at LEAST one more term beyond this one. He wants that N Korea style power and there's not much stopping him right now sadly.
hint? I believe he told his MAGA slaves to vote for him and they would never have to vote again. He doesn't plan to willingly give up power. He thinks he has absolute power now, and we will ALL suffer because of it.
This is the result of a hostile take-over.
The vast majority of US citizens strongly support Ukraine!
There is little assurance of how many voted for Trump, & tremendous evidence of corruption & fraud in the GOP campaign as well as election results.
We need to uphold our Constitution & democracy.
Infrastructure will take a hell of a lot of putting together but you can quickly restore democracy, once you get it back.
What laws would you like to see in place?
It will happen, the Silicon Valley lads have bitten off more than they can chew.
Keep writing to your local politicians, say how these changes are impacting your quality of life. Give them the details.
Share thoughts with others, even people you just bump into in the shop.
Gradually it will happen
There are plenty of them that regret how they voted. Let’s stop the hate and listen to each other b/c these grifters running the U.S. don’t care about them now that they got the power.
Can’t go there yet. Just this evening, a Trump voter, who was starting to worry about things that were happening because they were affecting him, said, “he sacked those two DEI hires on the Joints Chiefs! Now we can get back to a real fighting force.” So, no, they do not regret anything right now.
I am disgusted by Felon 47 and his flying monkeys. I too am ashamed of our leadership, and I am so sorry for our allies who have stood by us, and gone to war for us.
Zelensky was able to rise to meet the times and I admire the man so much and feel so bad for the Ukrainian people.
I’m ashamed, disgusted and feel extremely betrayed by Trump and everyone he surrounds himself with and those who voted for him and those who did not vote for him and for leaders who did. Or seek answers to the anomalous swing state voter results.
