As Trump called the Nov. 5 election a “chance to send a message,” he stopped his remarks and turned to the crowd.
“Back home to mommy, she goes back home to mommy,” Trump said, resuming his speech and appearing to address a heckler. “‘Was that you darling?’ And she gets the hell knocked out of her. Her mother’s a big fan of ours, you know that right? Her father, her mother. You always have that.”

        The system is literally weighted heavily in their favor. If we had a real democracy, this clown would never have been elected, and Al Gore would be emperor of the moon.

        I mean some of us are, but collectively?

          I like to think collectively, as a whole, we want to?

          Im guilty of giving up sometimes.

          I could do more.

          …thank whatever Im not an alcoholic, because I figure this is how you start

          lets just sa theyve done a good job of creating an atmosphere where a lot of us who really, really want to do more feel slapped down before we even get started

          :shrug:

            I’m not an alcoholic, at least I don’t think I am, but I do admit the glass of port I do enjoy of an evening has had more liquid in it of late.

          Nah, there’s probably not a single issue that all Americans agree on collectively, but since OP addressed America as a singular subject, I decided it was okay for me to reply for the entire country. Mostly for the humor points.

      These self righteous comments are so fucking old. Yelling it into the void on Lemmy is so brave and definitely is helping, wtf are any of us going to do about trump being a huge piece of shit?

      Not a goddamn thing

        What do you suggest as a person not from the US?

        I feel like the Americans might frown on Canadians attempting to vote in their elections or assassinating their political leaders.

          On the other hand, it might get us universal healthcare.
