The irony of Americans electing a fascist because they were more concerned about getting lower grocery prices than saving democracy and then they end up losing democracy AND getting higher grocery prices 🤦🏽♂️

The crazy thing is, so many of the people that yelled about the high prices still support him! They say, come on, it’s only been a few weeks. Give him time.
I know you receive many donation requests, but I truly👍❤️🩹🤍🟫 hope your generosity can extend to me this time. I am in urgent need of help, and any contribution from you would make a huge difference in my life. Please read my story in bio.
Yeah, a sizable portion had been made miserable for three decades. R policy was to make people hurt & blame Ds for it. It was McConnell’s f*cking policy & go to strategy. Ds did nothing to stop it. People got desperate because they had no other choice. This is the end result of Party over County.
I’m sorry but the media is totally complicit in having helped to elect trump. Not enough exposure to the facts, rarely calling him out on his lies and the lack of coverage on Project 2025! They are executing their plan to the T.
I find it funny when conservatives called themselves the “real America” because there’s nothing American about their values. Democracy and constitutional rights mean nothing to them They just want a high standard of living in a society that privileges their culture just like conservatives everywhere
Dating website profile; I am a rapist, thief, liar, and adulterer. I am a bad-tempered, self-obsessed boor. But I am the world's greatest businessman, and you will have wealth like you've never imagined, beautiful clothes and all the plastic surgery money can buy.
Stop. We didn't elect him. Gop voter suppression and muskrat did. And if we don't do something about it, they will do the same thing in 2026 and beyond, until there are no more free or fair elections. Kinda like in russia
We had a good thing, we had global hegemony, the world reserve currency, a well oiled machine where our navy protected sea trade routes and our land forces ensured global peace. You could have kept your mouth shut, golfed and grifted. But no, you had to be the man. You and your ego...
Speaking of currency, what ever happened to his visit to the treasury to count the gold. Do we still have gold there now that sticky fingers has been to visit?
If there were not so many innocents being affected by this nightmare I’d say the magats are getting their just deserts. Their brains could fit in a thimble.
Evidently "Those who would give up a essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." also applies to grocery prices. Go figure...
Both were cults of personality that may seemed to have had certain political facets that approximated the right or left 're policies, but were both predominantly cults of personality where the will of the leader mattered more than politics.
I still don’t think we know why Trump won. His voters seem to
Live in fact free universe with little knowledge of what Trump says or does and less of what Biden and Harris were saying and doing
It was 31.8% of Americans. 36.3% of Americans didn't bother to vote.
What Americans "elected" was 'NOTA.'
Trump came in a long second with Harris a nose behind.
except that's not how elections work, unfortunately.
but you'd think stats like these might help awaken GOP Congress people to take ownership of their Article I powers to curb or (better) remove Trump.
Cabbages have gone from $0.43 on March 5th to $0.93 on April 5th. Perishable goods are more quickly impacted by tariffs. Nearly 60% of cabbages are imported from Mexico, Canada, and others.
it's not irony. neoliberalism surmises everyone is a rational actor, a ridiculous premise. the fascists knew that and knew plenty would be too stupid to realize grocery promises were a lie to obfuscate the true aim of advancing racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and the gutting of the state
This makes it sound as if American collectively chose this buffoon. This was actually a close election decided not by Trump attracting new voters, but by Democratic voters sitting out the election out of disgust with the neoliberal Democratic Party's betrayals and support for genocide.
Stop blaming voters and direct the blame where it belongs, with the corrupt and decidedly undemocratic Democratic Party leadership. The Democrats must EARN people's support, and that support is no longer there for the party of controlled opposition.
It was not about "lower grocery prices". The last 3 elections were centered around tribalism and so will every election from here on out.
It wasn't grocery prices that led to the worst possible individual being the Republican nominee 3 elections in a row --despite an insurrection on the third go.
I blame FOX ENTERTAINMENT and all the spinoff minions grifting away, not to mention if course tge entire Republican congressional sycophants, u reap what u sow
I've got a secret: they were never concerned with the economy to begin with. They have, since a decade ago at least, used the economy to cover up their support of bigotry. This is the case for literally every Trump supporter.
It was ever thus... the Right's history is one of feasting on and fermenting discontent, creating villains/targets then offering simplistic solutions that never work.... that this is a repeating cycle is the depressing bit ..also they have zero problems with outright lies.
It's not ironic when you consider that democracy and fair application of law are probably the most important things that contribute to a healthy economy which every level of society benefit from.
They did not want a very competent black lady as that would've been woke and dangerous, so they chose nazism & fascism, insanity i/o humanity. And Russia as a very stable ally - the last one left. Now it's all biting them in the azz ...
I disagree with the grocery prices part. It was never about eggs. They voted for him, bc he would make things miserable for black and brown people. He's doing that, and hence, his approval rating is still relatively high, given the shit storm we've been living in for 2 months.
As some of us tried to explain: Fascism is actually implemented by incredibly stupid people and always destroys any economy stupid enough to let them take power.
US is thoroughly in "find out" phase. they ignored all facts/warnings and chose to elect blatantly bigoted felonious fraud who lies every other sentence. clearly, it'll have to HURT for Americans to wake the F up..I'm sorry for who knew better and voted Harris, but Trump voters DESERVE what's coming
We really have to include in this conversation, the sexism and racism. Every time it’s omitted, we are avoiding the underlying cause, grocery prices are just the symptoms.
These are war crimes. 18K+ children massacred by Israel in just one year, and still they continue to systematically target children and thus the future of Palestine.
The brainwashing of a whole group of people that followed the golden ring. They heard the lies about our society, economy and politicians until those lies became their reality. That’s a cultural change and that kind of influence can not be corrected easily. They will sink then admit an error.
why does the media keep pretending that Trump voters cared about grocery prices?? the evidence is that they voted to unleash cruelty on the minorities they hate
Your country is full of racist, moronic, entitled pieces of shit who are getting exactly what they deserve. A pity they've proven to be so incapable of self-reflection.
Enamored with Russia, I guess. Tucker really brought home how AWESOME it is to live in Russia. The grocery carts pay you back! Too bad he didn't go outside the Oligarch area, where they have no bus service today, because there is no gas. Your grocery choices are bread and sardines this month
We can point fingers at Trump voters and Trump himself, we all knew this was going to happen. Where was the prep, the plan? Basic advice to ways to survive this. Plan of action? Point that out!
I'd laugh my ass off but that would be sort of like being in steerage and laughing at all the drowning asshats in coattails on the main deck. Or something.
Point being: Titanic is going down and Irony has no fucks left to give.
As long as America treats it's racism like a cold or flu that will just go away in time instead of a disease that must be treated, nothing will change.
Agreed times a million. My MAGA BIL wants to buy his first home and could have had a huge tax credit, but he could not bring himself to vote for Harris. What an idiot. Now his car parts are going to cost him so much more.
He didn't even know.
What a grocery store was and you expect him to lower grocery prices. He doesn't know what Reciprocal is but now he's gonna find And they're still going to support this because the orange Mickey flicky Got all of them Cond into believing That he is Going to fix america
Kinda by design....buying shit you don't need, cool. Wanting to learn and comprehend the world is "tedious." Yes, lazy ass MotherF(kkk)ing droids! The average American is a complete dullard and blowhard.
All of this makes a lot more sense once you remember that more than anything else, this country was founded on the idea that rich people don’t want to pay taxes and should always have access to cheap, exploitable labor.
Emily Maitliss observed pre-election that gas prices were a huge factor in many Americans deliberations.
Low gas prices are irrelevant when you can’t afford the car to fill with it…
Irony overload

A very kinky nation. 🙃
Sounds a bit familiar but I can't quite place it ...🤔
The US signed up for a date.
Strong rights + strong responsibilities = freedom + liberty
It’s hard to be responsible, eh?
Nor was Jim Jones a socialist.

Sexism and raceism contributed.
But noone is holding him accountable.

Folks try so hard to figure out a comfortable reason for why people voted for Trump and the real answer we need to accept is the sad and ugly one.

🙄🙄🙄
It's like baby birds gulping down all the worms Fox can feed them.

Too bad the entire world has to pay for their stupidity.
Hard to believe but yet very true.
MAGA is a racist hate movement.
A PLEA FOR DONALD TRUMP TO RESIGN

Thought for the day:

It was never about the groceries.

It was never about democracy or the economy.
They're blinded by hate.
It's truly sad how we live rent-free in their head. I don't want to be there lol. they need to forgive and forget or something.
