    The fact that Turnip is a leading politician in the US is more of an indictment of America’s mental competence

      In 2016, being young and naive, I really thought that every human being had at least a basic common sense, some very basic decency, no matter the cultural background. I was so sure that this weird old man won’t be the President Of The US fucking A.

      And then those guys made him their president.

      What the hell? Whats wrong with y’all?

        Made him president and then graduated from support to worship while he actively worked to make everyone’s lives worse. Blaming Biden for handling the pandemic poorly the same way they blamed Obama for the 2008 crash. Sucks to suck, I guess.

      Oh this isn’t unique. Populist / low brow politicians are rising up all over the world.

    The Republican presidential nominee, who is running against Harris, fails to acknowledge the possibility that voters could oppose him because of his harmful policies, incompetent presidency, efforts to overturn his 2020 reelection defeat, criminal convictions and charges, attacks on our democracy and freedoms and the hatred he spreads with bigoted comments.

    It’s certainly not that I’m an asshole hate-monger. It can’t be that.

    During the Republican presidential primary campaign, Trump referred to his opponent Nikki Haley, who he appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, as “birdbrain.” He has called other people he dislikes “lunatics” and “low-IQ individuals.”

    So he appoints stupid people? I trust his judgment!

    Attacks Trump has made against those he opposes include calling some “communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,” “the enemy of people,” “evil” and “traitors.” He has called for some to be imprisoned and even suggested that the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now-retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, deserves the death penalty.

    That sounds completely normal.
