Except how many of these people know what is happening??

call-me-shirley.bsky.social•9 days ago

I would think one would know if they’re fired or laid off.

iamatigergirl.bsky.social•9 days ago

They’ll blame Biden! (Or Obama!!)

happy2cyou.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump blamed Former President Biden for the recent 3% rise in inflation.

lezbreal87.bsky.social•9 days ago

I agree, there are so many people who just don’t want to know what’s happening, and don’t care because they don’t know. I hate walking around my little town like the only “woke” one because no one is paying attention. Even my own indivisible group is floundering

ohzakry.bsky.social•9 days ago

Him & maga never intended to have to legitimately win another election.

roxanne123.bsky.social•9 days ago

Almost like they know they control the vote tallies. Maybe someone at MJ could investigate what Ivan Raiklin meant by the “auto correct” being implemented county by county? Maybe someone connects it to Marsha Blackburn blocking mandatory audits

Uh, sadly, over half the people in this poll actually thought Trump is doing a good job. This is a huge brainwashed cult.

We know that the Catholic Church kept the Inquisition going for centuries. This won't simply fade away on its own now.

katinak14.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yup. And he'll just tell them they love suffering for him, and they will.
His most fervent frothers will crawl on their bloody knees for him.

josipdasovic.bsky.social•9 days ago

It doesn't matter. People don't vote on the basis of policy anymore. They now vote on the basis of identity, and (to a lesser extent) on the economy. Many will hate every Trump policy but still for the GOP.

paulapooh.bsky.social•9 days ago

I would love to see some accurate polls about his popularity at this point....won't ever happen, but is affecting so many people already and the ripple effect is going to impact more.
What is wrong with gop congress
Pure pieces of shit

avaghy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Haven’t seen anything. Not sure it would do but polls showing how disliked he and Musk are would at least get under Trump’s skin.

scrivener45.bsky.social•9 days ago

His approval rating is remarkably high. Ignorance does not become you.

leapingotter.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don't forget people who want to breathe...

clarajeffery.bsky.social•9 days ago

federal workers
farmers who sell to USAID
conservative lawyers with principals
LGBTQ people and their family and friends
contraception users
people who live in Blue State disaster zones
people opposed to resegregation
people who oppose imperialism
people who like the Kennedy Center/the arts...

micheletinkerbell.bsky.social•9 days ago

The FBI & CIA?

clarajeffery.bsky.social•9 days ago

people on Medicare or Social Security
people scared of climate change
people who don't want their home or health insurance to skyrocket
egg eaters
inflation fearers
etc etc

what is the end game here?

fakegreatdane.bsky.social•9 days ago

Autocracy.

symbiocracy.bsky.social•9 days ago

you're hinting at it but I'll say it: they aren't worried about elections because they just fired the election security heads and the next ones won't be free and fair

jmzmuda.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sadly, the end of America as we know it is their end game. Republicans keep saying this is a once in a lifetime opportunity… to delete the gov. They want a Dictatorship and not a democracy.
Republicans are a national security threat.

The looting of the treasury and paying back Putin. Even if they don’t plan to rig the next election, the damage they will have done in 4 years will make Elon a trillionaire and will make the US a pathetic shell.

manikodru.bsky.social•9 days ago

to get their hands on all the data and digitize everything with themselves in control. they don't see people.

wkndrd.bsky.social•9 days ago

To crash everything and buy it all for cheap

omarsultan.me•9 days ago

He no longer needs voters

anonymouse-dev.bsky.social•9 days ago

-The end game is not having to give a shit about who they are alienating.
-How?
-They are not going to arrange any more elections.
-How do we know that?
-Because that's the only way they can pull off this shit and not end up in the electric chair for treason.

scassian.bsky.social•9 days ago

To prove that if you vote in a dementia addled sociopathic insurrectionist traitor you’re stuck with them for four years at least. So it’s probably best not to do that.

ejfriedman.me•9 days ago

In their sick minds, they think they're going to fix a bunch of problems that exist primarily in their minds. They assume that since the system is broken, they can break it more to fix it. Meanwhile, nobody's keeping track of what they're doing and they don't plan to tell anyone they don't trust.

myplateaulife.bsky.social•9 days ago

1. money
2. permanent minority control
3. they enjoy hurting people...it's a kink.

ccorleyjd.bsky.social•9 days ago

For whom? For Trump/Musk? World domination. Or in the least, domination here in the USA, which they have attained.

brewtowne.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think it depends on how much he can still stick it to Black folks, undocumented folks, LGBTQ folks, and other marginalized groups.

The super racists will sacrifice a lot, even their own kids, so long as their electeds keep on hurting "the other."

Because THAT'S what they voted for...✌🏻

paspret.bsky.social•9 days ago

In the Mafia I think they call it a bust-out.

brianxsmith.bsky.social•9 days ago

Like the sporting goods store in The Sopranos.

ecowen.bsky.social•9 days ago

Remember when Russia had term limits on the Presidency? And then it didn't?

steve36893.bsky.social•9 days ago

Exactly.

beegutjahr.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oligarchs don’t give a fuck who hate them - it’s a money & power grab. We just had our last free election and Trump will be installed as king - after all, he’s immune from everything.

madisonbelmar.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don’t kid yourself. If offered a do-over, they would still vote for him.

beedunk177633.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think they are actually counting on people not connecting their voting behavior to the resulting problems.

grumblekitty.bsky.social•9 days ago

No shortage of faith leaders objecting as well.

brewtowne.bsky.social•9 days ago

I stopped counting on them following Dr. King's Letter from the Birmingham Jail.

I wasn't born yet.✌🏻

grumblekitty.bsky.social•9 days ago

That wasn’t an endorsement.

Just additional information about other sources of resistance and social justice advocacy.

brewtowne.bsky.social•9 days ago

And my disdain wasn't aimed at you, sorry. Thanks for the info.✌🏻

erdrickstorm.bsky.social•9 days ago

A lot of this makes the largely incorrect assumption that all of these groups realize they are being shat upon. The test will be when they start fucking around with social security checks. Too much of the rest his base will excuse while they eat up the fake news about "ending government waste."

erdrickstorm.bsky.social•9 days ago

If they don't riot when their checks quit showing up, they never will.

katinak14.bsky.social•9 days ago

I honestly think he will tell them they love to suffer, and they WILL.
Even if he started shooting them in the face right on Fifth Ave, his most fervent frothers would look away and vote for him again.

erdrickstorm.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's honestly difficult to imagine what would change their minds at this point. Most of them seem very content to believe and spread the lies they are being told. It really does seem to be a cult.

katinak14.bsky.social•9 days ago

I know not all of them will happily eat his shit, but in that whole group, I see about a 50/50 split on the ones that finally see the light, and the ones that would LITERALLY happily eat his LITERAL shit.

alexemanuel.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yup. And I have zero sympathy for those absolute idiots who voted for him even though the writing was clearly on the wall (that he did not build), and anger for the media who didn’t call out the lies and misinformation he was endlessly spewing. It’s as if they mordantly wanted to see a car crash.

dzrtmblweed.bsky.social•9 days ago

For as many people to perish or become destitute by any & every means possible & anyone left to be indentured servants grateful for any crumbs, if any, they're "generous" enough to toss.

banana-jam.bsky.social•9 days ago

Grift. He believes Musk can convert the entire Treasury to shitcoin *and* he’s dumb enough to believe Musk will give him some.

vovegan.bsky.social•9 days ago

Chaos and misery is the endgame. And after President Musk 86's FDIC and drains everyone's bank accounts, they're hoping we'll all finally comply and let him be a total dictator if we can just have some of our stuff back, pretty please?

magpiezero.bsky.social•9 days ago

They want to destroy the country. That's the end game. If you accept that's their goal, it all makes sense.

lezbreal87.bsky.social•9 days ago

Got a feeling it’s about to get real nasty real quick.

mmarengo.bsky.social•9 days ago

He said it during the campaign… that we should not worry anymore about voting. So it doesn’t matter if he will end up alienating most of the voter base. That matters only if there will be fair elections.

brianvan.bsky.social•9 days ago

He’s a stupid asshole leading a death cult and a social war. That’s the only game & it never seems to end

reezenphd.bsky.social•9 days ago

Putin and the Billionaire techbros.

grove.cx•9 days ago

if we can't vote, it won't matter. that's the end game.

sharonoc.bsky.social•9 days ago

No more elections. Full take over of the US.

fablesmom.bsky.social•9 days ago

when the market crashes, they’ll impeach him. He just needs to become a political liability.

persisted2020.bsky.social•9 days ago

Great question. My guess is to establish the Trump Empire of North America.

genevieves1.bsky.social•9 days ago

It only matters who you alienate if your goal is to win a legitimate election.

49% of those who voted - ends up being far less than 49%

Do you think they’re going to allow a free and fair election to take place in ‘26 or ‘28?

Pls stop with the Word cut n paste. So hard to read for tone.

klejnotsd.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is the same logic that led me to get excited for Kamala. He didn’t win the pop vote in 2016 and I thought surely he had alienated people with family separations, Jan 6, classified docs in his bathroom, etc etc. but no. :(

santarosadude.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not sure he really needs popular support anymore. He controls the three branches of government and the military.

witwarrior.bsky.social•9 days ago

(Note: People tend to confuse 50% of the votes cast with half of America’s population. Not the same.)

bridgethunnicutt.bsky.social•9 days ago

An informed, engaged and united citizenry is the only thing that can stop them.

It is up to us.

All of us.

bdemayo.bsky.social•9 days ago

Under 50% of those who voted even. It was about 32% of all registered voters, and account for total population actually a little less than a quarter cast a vote for the guy.

avaghy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yep. 36% of eligible voters sat home and in many states were Harris lost there was a few percentages of people who went 3rd party. Can’t know if they would have gone for another Dem but he has no mandate.
