Holy Shit...so I thought you created him as a sick joke...
But....(conspiracy theory alert)....the day he was born is the day John Logie Baird died....AND a full Lunar eclipse...ffs God ....look what happens when you blink !!!
Registered Republicans are only about 26% of all registered voters. Swing voters and protest voters are the reason why Trump won twice. Not to mention apathetic voters who sat out on it. Elections have consequences. America is on its way to hit rock bottom. 😔
and the russians played the gaza horn relentlessly against Harris. and the fucking imbecile "everything must be perfect" type of Dems bit, hook, line, and sinker. Let them enjoy the next four years for their self-righteous, sanctimonious idiocy.
Yup, they walked right into Russia's most successful propaganda in 2016, "choose between 2 evils," and gave Trump the WH. You will think people have learned the lesson from that. Russians learned, though, how easy it is to control these people.
But it was Trump who defeated the Constitution, if we let him.
Every attorney KNOWS the Constitution prohibits Trump from taking office.
But “Acting President JD Vance”?
That is the LAW!
And Vance is not an insurrectionist, either.
Yeah. They can never accept imperfect solutions that turn into better ones. They look for absolute perfection while Republicans do not care who they elect.
The timing of the Hamas attack was very convenient. They knew Biden would not restrain Israel and would therefore lose the election. And Trump will not support Ukraine. Russia supports Hamas (and Iran and Hezbollah). Did Putin order the attack?
Yes! ☝️ This is why we left. It's not Trump. He's a symptom. It'a not even the GOP. Parties decline. It happens. It's that more than 50% of the population, through action or inaction, chose fascism. Not a safe place to be.
America was a land of free and dream. Sea to shinning sea. 😭 Now, it is the prime example of "what not to be" in the global community. She literally became the world's most ridiculous laughing stock. Christian Nationalism and gun craziness won so far.
I think it's training. If a person goes to a building every week where they are taught their beliefs cannot be subject to critical thought, then spends the six days in between being told the things they learn there are untouchable because they are religion, we shouldn't be surprised when they...
Protest votes in a Presidential election that severely alters our country seems awfully vengeful. Like I would have voted for Harris but because in an imperfect political world they screwed Biden, you vote for total destruction. "I'll show them!". Really????
I've always registered as independent, because we're allowed to in NH. But I am definitely not a swing voter or undecided. Orange Julius gives me the ick. lol Idk what's wrong with the mouth breathers
They weren't true swing voters... They were and are the same as maga but dont want to be recognized as hateful.. because that is still a nasty stain to own... But make no mistake.. they are blood of the same vein
I’m not. 😮💨 I voted all blue. Except the one that we didn’t have a dem candidate. But I was told I couldn’t skip it & I was afraid my ballot wouldn’t be counted if I did. 😩
I bet if they just appealed to working class people, they could've won. Maybe stop giving billions to the war machine. Maybe stop primarying progressive candidates on their own team to put in moderate Dems. And combination of things that would make their own damn side vote for them.
N Election Day Jacob Soberhoff was at polling stations interviewing voters. He asked a guy if he’d share who his choice was. A black guy. He was voting for Trump despite his being a “dick” because Harris didn’t do Rogens podcast, so that meant she didn’t like regular people. 🙄🙄🤮🤬🤬🤬
"Registered Independent" (swing) doesn't equate to undecided or uninformed. Voters registered R, D, or I can be too busy scrambling to survive (multiple gig jobs) or uneducated to know reliable sources from disinformation. Too many Ds didn't vote because of exhaustion or feeling unheard. 1/2
2/2 Many Rs voted R out of habit or on disinformation. After Biden's Oval Office address, Google searches on Oligarchy spiked. Anyone paying attention for a year should have known. Too many hadn't been doing that, never heard the word defined except as "a smear" on Fox or Rogan.
The few times I've talked to someone who hadn't made up their mind within a few weeks of a major election, I was left speechless. But it helped me decide not to befriend them. Dependable friends are the best.
Greedy racist sexist bigots.
If everyone called them, these four words everywhere for a few days, THEY WOULD ERUPT and show their true selves for all to record on video😭
People are made to feel like their cups are full, and by stoking fear that 'something' will add to their cup and overflow it makes fear mongering and blaming work as a political strategy.
Too big a broom you’re sweeping with there, dude. I am registered Unaffiliated, as are many folks I know . None of us voted for that phucking pig. Be better. Thank you.
You have the power to change it, I’ve read it in all those fake fantasy religious books. Smiting the first born down, really cool stuff. Turing into pillars of salt,my personal favorite. So how ‘bout this? Right before they step in and vote for a convicted racist traitor? Heart attack. Works for me.
My favorite story is Job, when he and Satan basically destroy his family and life only fora bet to prove god is powerful & deserving of love or some shit. But yeah let’s ban a book on Roberto Clemente….
Yeah that book of the bible should have been named "God is a trivially manipulable, whiny ass insecure little bitch who doesn't love anything least of all humans"
Why is it so hard to see that Democrats lost the youth and the rest because Kamala refused to break from Biden in her stance against Gaza? And they kept saying they wanted to ban Tok Tok. Read the articles. Books were being banned, women in red states were dying because of lack healthcare,
Prices were too high, giving billions to foreigners, veterans benefits being threatened, several opened war fronts, and the Tik Tok ban is going to assure that they will never see another administration again. Especially if Trump brings it back. Rose coloured glasses let this happen.
The genocide excuse is tiring and ill-informed considering who Trump is… but, thanks! Not only are Palestinians still going to be screwed, now we ALL are.
Well, the average reading level of adults in the US is at 7th to 8th grade level...so yeah. If the last 8yrs taught me anything, is just how ignorant the US population is.
This was a steal. No one mistook the energy and cohesiveness of preserving dignity and democracy, coming into the 2024 election. Carter was right, it was stolen in 2016; and, we just got robbed again.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” ― George Carlin
I believe stupidity and ignorance were the biggest influences on our election.
This is the correct answer. It comes in all different flavors, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, xenophobia but its all based on some kind of bigotry and that's the beating heart of the right.
Just earlier tonight, I saw a post that indicated that the Trump would take care of the devastation in North Carolina that resulted from Hurricane Helene. Biden gave the over 1.8 BILLION dollars and they whine that they've been forgotten.
I don't know that you can determine anything of value from what he says. If we took away the bs there would be nothing left of him. He doesn't have enough substance to cast a shadow in sunlight. We all pay the price for the votes of the gullible and manipulated.
It’s just unfathomable to think that the lower and middle class people that voted a billionaire into office, that invited other billionaires into his cabinet, would think that any of these assholes would give a flying fuck about them…..it’s absolutely fucking mind numbing…..
Something something “price of eggs” something something “the illegals” something something “the transgenders” something something … I imagine the article went down something like that?
And when their schools lose federal funding, groceries don't cost less, but the stock market booms, they'll somehow still believe in him. Dumber than dirt
Compared to what??? A serial adulterer, rapist, convicted felon, spectacular ignoramus & malignant narcissist??? Harris was a great candidate and would have won if there’d been a little more time for her to become known to low info voters.
My workplace is probably 60% trump voters, I can’t believe how uninformed/misinformed they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve never picked up a newspaper. I just shake my head and count down my 377 days until retirement 🤦🏻♀️
The social media bit, I'm good with (yes, I know I'm using it).
I think a lot of previously rational people have been swayed and nudged into believing a lot of nonsense via social media.
And mainstream media. Their bullshit ends up on social media and the main cause in many countries why a fascist oligarchy is about to take over the planet. The worst part of it is human behavior. After they see they’ve been conned? They’ll never admit it, they just dig in deeper supporting the lie.
They are racist bigots who feel emboldened by social media ..yeah , but you don't go from a decent human to locking kids in cages cos some random said it's good idea
And you don't vote for a rapist , ever , unless you've always been a human turd.
I think 10% of people are inherently cruel, and about 10% are inherently good, and the rest can be swayed either way.
A hell of a lot of people simply don't believe he is a rapist as they've been swayed to believe 'bad people' are smearing him, but yes, there are also those who don't care.
Ambassador to UK for Trump on TV last night said , the actual jury was at the ballot box ,asked do you mean the people who were not on the jury or in the court ,having heard exactly zero are in a better position to judge than a real jury ?
I always picture an undecided voter as one of those tube men/air dancers in front of car lots. They flail back and forth wildly and struggle to stay upright because they have no spine.
IQ scores between 90 and 109 indicate a normal IQ range or average intelligence. Individual adults usually score somewhere between the 70-130 range, with 100 being the theoretical average.
30 million voted for Harris
34 million voted for Trump
90 Million didn't vote
What does it tell you?
Have the figured out we really don't have choice. It's capitalism of fascism on the menu.
A friend of mine was taking such a course and could not believe the incompetence of the "teacher" I audited the class and it was confounding how badly they were buffaloed into throwing out questions on quizzes by students.
That is what happens when you only teach to testing in schools and not the skills for critical thought and fact finding. When parents censor what can be taught in schools, discourage exposure to a multitude of opinions. Afraid their kids might be smarter than them.
Yes!!! Been screaming this from the rooftops for years. Once schools shifted to ‘Standards of Learning,’ it dumbed down kids and made them capable of test taking. No critical thinking whatsoever. Teachers teach to pass these statewide tests only

Zappa - Dumb All Over
As I've said for years:
"For a Democracy to survive and succeed its citizenry NEEDS to be an educated and informed citizenry. The average conservative is neither educated nor informed."
For decades the GOP have been gutting education and Reagan killed the Truth and Fairness Doctrine
It worked till it was canceled by Reagan.
After Reagan killed it, fox "news" started. From then on its been a shit storm of lies. While Americans take it as fact. Because the damage had already been done. Critical thinking was long gone history
I have found that with social media, my once held belief that there are not that many jaw draggers in the USA, was a complete mistake!
The sheer numbers of mouth breathers commenting on a Covid article while 5000+ people were dying every day was staggering!
They STILL call it a plandemic. He targeted the most vulnerable and manipulated them into thinking vaccines for a deadly virus is bad. Their gullibility is remarkable and bottomless. ☹️
Swing voters = 5-10%, non voters = 30%. In American politics it's always been about getting the non voters to the ballot box. Obama did it brilliantly, Harris didn't
Must’ve been one of those idiotic articles the NYTimes has been posting the last few months. Don’t people educate themselves on issues? Oh, yeah, I forgot, the average American voter only focuses on one or two issues because the rest don’t directly affect them. Such a selfish way of thinking.
I talked to my stepson who voted for the tiny tyrant. After mentioning a number of what seemed to be obvious dis-qualifiers, he came back with "Yeah, but none of that stuff affects me". He has a 13 year old daughter.
It was the single most disappointing parenting moment in over 45 years as one.
I found that out when I learned that people googled "what are tariffs" after the election, freaked out, but, still gave him his highest approval ratings he's ever had. Now THAT'S a level of dumb that puts Idiocracy to shame.
There is another one that really was heartbreaking that I heard there was a spike in "did Biden drop out" queries. Like I think there was a number of people who didn't vote for Biden because he wasn't on the ballot and they had no idea who was replacing him.
It seemed to be from a credible source. I try to keep hysterical shouty people out of my news feed. But yes it would seem the last minute replacement candidate confused low information voters.
I still think that was one of the dumbest things we did. Biden should have dropped out months before.
People died from his first trade wars the suicide rate from the agricultural industry leaped dramatically. As did the bankruptcies. And somehow nobody noticed.
Nothing he does gets noticed. It's like he's got some sort of supernatural invulnerability to consequences. I've been talking about how he bragged about abusing his power to ogle naked 15 year olds and nobody seems to give a fuck.
Democrats need to figure that out. Biden created jobs, went to union auto plants, stood on the picket line but you can’t afford bacon won. Why Dems didn’t message we want to raise minimum wage but your Republican representatives & senators voted no wasn’t all over the internet I’ll never understand
Dems were counting on a free press to spread the good word. Unfortunately America’s “free press” is free to be a slave to the almighty dollar, so they only care about monetizing the news now. Dems need to focus more on alternative media going forward.
The press is unreliable. FB, Apple, Google, (X), tic tok etc.... (insert all false proproganda spreading outlets here) are feeding off the gullibility and data of those they view as beneath them.
From what I saw on social media, many Muslim Americans didn't vote at all because of Gaza. I'm not passing judgment. A friend of almost 30 years who is Muslim told me she could not vote for any of them for that reason. I felt comfortable talking to her and asking why.
She said she couldn't be part of either of them being in power. I told her I was voting Harris bc we had a chance for a ceasefire (and zero chance with DT). I think her position was pretty widespread and discouraged a lot of voters completely.
That explains a lot. Thanks for that perspective. Maga are saying the lack of voter turnout proves that the turnout in 2020 were fake votes. That’s ludicrous and not based on data or reality, like all the things they say. But, it’s important that those who didn’t vote this time explain why.
Sadly though, with that way of thinking, they threw the country under the bus, with no thought to how their vote would affect our rights & our democracy. I understand their concern, but it's not an excuse not to have voted.
I don't disagree at all. I told my friend I can't fight for Gaza if I'm fighting for myself. I reminded her Israel has had bipartisan US support and weapons since 1946. But she had to follow her faith and I had to follow mine.
The news always had an 🍊💩 story, inflation story, Gaza story but nothing positive about Biden or Harris until AFTER the election which probably didn’t help anything. I knew what was at stake and voted accordingly. I flip through news channels to see the bs they’re feeding the idiots
In the US, there are a lot of women who don’t like women who are more accomplished, educated, and successful. Rooted in jealousy. 42% of white women voted for a man instead of a woman.
Yes, whenever I watched interviews of swing voters before the election I mumbled to myself “God we’re so f*cked.”
And we were.
There was absolutely nothing Kamala or anyone could have done to reason with these morons who think the government is stopping them from having their own private yachts.
Well, it kind of is, in order for the wealthy to have two of their own. And Trump's appointee told the Senate that he would not support an increase in the minimum wage. Good job, MAGA, well played.
There are a lot of people who've convinced themselves that all politicians are the same and you can't trust any of them. My SIL is one of them, but she voted for Kamala because she could not vote for a criminal. It was a big step for a true Republican, but I'm proud of her.
I still remember in 1996 ago I cast my vote for Ralph Nader… and my boss at the time laughed at me telling me my 3rd party vote was a throw away.
That stuck with me all these years.
What we need is ranked choice voting!!!
I almost voted for Nader in 2000 but my sis asked me to consider Gore for her children’s sake (which I did). Of course her kids are now MAGA-adjacent. 🫠
I certainly do believe you because, without those NY convictions, I can only guess how she might have voted. I like to think I was making progress, but she always says that she is an “economic conservative.”
I just read an article about a French woman who divorced her husband and gave the nearly $1M she received to a series of badly Photoshopped pictures of Brad Pitt in the hospital. The comments were filled with stories like “My aunt is supporting a struggling actor named Jason Momoa.” Same energy.
Ain't that the sad truth but then I already knew that! Some of the things that come out of these people's mouths about TFG and his administration is just amazingly stupid!
Please tell me, this is not a surprise to you. lol I watch these dumb as fuck people when they give interviews while waiting in line for a maga-rat rally. Dumb as fuck is being kind.
Sucks that Union Americans left half the population to wallow in ignorance and poverty for decades.
This is the result.
Well, are we going to do anything to fix it?
Of course not. Burn it down instead.

So technically yes, if you vote Trump, you are statistically less informed.
But....(conspiracy theory alert)....the day he was born is the day John Logie Baird died....AND a full Lunar eclipse...ffs God ....look what happens when you blink !!!
Is there any truth to the rumour you created djt as a big fk you April Fools joke to the world?
(Before anyone points out he was born/created in June I already know....its british humour dears)
Every attorney KNOWS the Constitution prohibits Trump from taking office.
But “Acting President JD Vance”?
That is the LAW!
And Vance is not an insurrectionist, either.

Okay. Touch it.

"For a Democracy to survive and succeed its citizenry NEEDS to be an educated and informed citizenry. The average conservative is neither educated nor informed."
For decades the GOP have been gutting education and Reagan killed the Truth and Fairness Doctrine
and then their terrorist attacks on healthcare workers "free speech"
and then all the mass shootings are "free expression" and fall under 2A somehow (but only if white man)
Can't believe this is still accepted , without a smidgen of critical thought 😳
The old FD never required truth and didn’t do what you think it did.
After Reagan killed it, fox "news" started. From then on its been a shit storm of lies. While Americans take it as fact. Because the damage had already been done. Critical thinking was long gone history
Do with cable channels and was barely even enforced by Carter.
You have no understanding of what it was or why it existed.
The sheer numbers of mouth breathers commenting on a Covid article while 5000+ people were dying every day was staggering!
It's onee thing to vote for an idiot, it's a whole other level of stupidity to not care.
I have nothing but respect for Taylor.
It was the single most disappointing parenting moment in over 45 years as one.
Trump was the fat rich kid who made them feel better with lame jokes about Teacher.
Also, Dems don’t laugh with them when they use the N word.
I still think that was one of the dumbest things we did. Biden should have dropped out months before.
I’ll be damned but that crazy 💩 actually landed and connected with some people.
