In Trump’s latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says “Trump Gaza,” and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.
All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he’s their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.
In terms of an individual’s personal philosophy, I agree, but I’m not so willing to give the Democratic party slack. They SERIOUSLY fucked up 2016 and 2024 elections - votes are earned. This is literally their job and they are incompetent. We still have Dem lawmakers on fucking TWITTER. How slow and out of touch can they be - they should know the owner of Twitter is not safe, threw up a Nazi salute, and sold us out to Russia via Starlink satellites.
They lost on social media and on the policies themselves not being exciting enough. Gaslighting the public that the economy is good when starvation increased by like 8% and homelessness by 18% in 2024
It’s frustrating as fuck. Had they just held a fair primary in both 2016 and 2024, we may have won. Instead they testified in court in 2016 that they didn’t have to hold fair elections. Noodle spine Hakeem Jeffries seems unable to do anything but speak at fundraisers and raise funds, per his own admissions.
Luckily we have people like Bernie, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Al Green, Merkley, Markey, and many others who are speaking out and doing the work.
That’s only half the equation. Yes, a party is responsible for advertising themselves and their accomplishments. The other half of the equation is the populace being responsible adults, which is NOT the case with a LARGE swath of Americans. It’s American’s responsibility to inform themselves about a party’s voting history and criminal conviction history. To be aware of the status of the economy under each party, historically. It’s literally impossible for a party to thoroughly educate every last voter.
I don’t like it, but realistically it’s probably for exposure. Particularly to independent voters. It’s still a very large platform and if they leave, then it’s 100% a racist Nazi shithole instead of just 95%.
It’s hard to compete against hate, fear, racism, and general misinformation. Truth can’t win on the internet until companies are actually held accountable for the damage their platforms cause due to their inability to moderate misinformation. This is one of the primary reasons I believe the future to be a dark one.
All metrics indicate the economy was recovering under Democrat leadership. Clearly that takes time. I agree that they could have advertised that better, but again, it’s partially up to Americans to be aware of these metrics. It’s their civic duty.
Look, Democrats can do better. No doubt. But the bottom line is Americans chose the BLATANTLY worse option. As in, we may never see such a blatant, obvious election ever again in our lives. That’s on Americans and their inability to take their civic duty seriously.
