Does he ever not have a shit-eating smirk on his face? That’s gotta be the most punchable face in the world.
No America won’t. Every bad thing that results from his reelection will be someone else’s fault or declared fake. The people that voted for him will be thrilled and vote straight R again come 2028. Democrats,for their part, will put forward someone endorsed by Bush Jr. and wonder why they lost again.
conservatives are still dodging the blame for shooting down that bipartisan border bill. a lack of accountability is a very core republican value.
No they’re not. They don’t have to dodge it. They’re standing still while their voters look in the completely wrong direction. Uninformed and easily manipulated voters are a dream come true for team lying out their assholes.
Oh it’s the dems fault. Also fake news. And somehow an attack on them, why can’t you be civil?
people that voted […] will […] vote […] again come 2028.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be! We know things are bad — worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’ Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest, I don’t want you to riot, I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad! [shouting] You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, goddammit! My life has value!’ So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell: I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
I think we need to understand that this speech is exactly how republicans see themselves. Notice the focus on violent crime, something which is not actually rising, and inflation. These are the kinds of issues that Republicans have used to gather support. As far as they are concerned, Trump is the TV personality who has gone rogue and started yelling.
What is this from?
‘the mad speech’ from network (1976)
Thanks
I love this quote
I can’t wait for the tears of his voters when his own policies destroy them
It’s all
Obama’sHillary’s emailsPizzagate’sHunter Biden’s LaptopBiden’s fault. If Biden hadn’t got in the way of Trump’s beautiful perfect plan that is the most perfect in the history of the universe, then his policies would have resulted in paradise on earth for his voters. But of course Biden and the Democrats messed it all up, so you better be sure to vote Red again next election!It’s common for the people who support leopards eating faces to not even recognize the leopard when it is their own face which has been eaten. They point to someone whose face they want to be eaten by a leopard and then blame them for it. I hope I didn’t get too lost in the metaphor here.
Yeah, the Republicans have been fucking them for decades, and they just voted for someone who is up front about the fucking
Yeah… I know they’ll blame someone else. That won’t save them though, will it? Their face still got eaten. At this point, I’ll take that.
It won’t save them but it won’t teach them anything
If the last 8 years haven’t taught them anything, they cannot be taught.
Those people need legitimate cult deprogramming. The reason they haven’t learned anything in 8 years is because their cult leaders have lied to them on every issue and convinced them that everything wrong is because of the liberals.
This is the danger of the echo chambers the internet has created.
There is no institution remaining with enough power and reach to complete this task
Nope, we just have to wait until they get to the, “he’s hurting the wrong people,” phase.
The one silver lining to the Rs controlling everything is that they can’t blame democrats for their screwups.
The point I was trying to make with that is they will continue to actively screw over themselves and everyone else but the oligarchy, again and again and again. I don’t take glee in this futility because the consequences are dire, even for the hubristic. If they got just a pie in the face or something merely unflattering, sure, laugh it up; but if somebody is dying because they can’t get the health care they need, or they lose their home because the economy tanked, or their friend gets deported, etc., because of what they enthusiastically voted for, then that is tragic, and this tragedy is manifold by the repetition of their inability to recognize what they have done.
I’m done. My empathy has run out. It’s become strikingly clear to anyone who’s been paying attention that these people have no ability to reason. Until something directly affects them, they do not care. So, let it affect them. I will no longer protect those who only wish to hurt others from their own actions. They’ll learn, or they’ll ruin their own lives too. I’ll take either one at this point.
To these people it’s fine if they get fucked as long as the person they don’t like gets fucked harder. It’s insane.
I’m temporarily adopting their mindset in self defense
I’m going to be honest, even if it’s probably self defeating, it’s probably not a bad idea.
My joy at their inevitable self inflicted suffering is somewhat overshadowed by the way they seem to actually be happy with the results. I don’t think they’re going to regret this, I think we are.
And I can’t wait to tell them shut the fuck up you voted for this! I hope every one of us does that.
If they experience even a fraction of the heartbreak and despair they’ve caused, I’ll be happy.
Can’t wait for the inflation to go through the roof. And the global financial crisis he’s going to trigger.
Reminder that Inflation peaked in June 2021, immediately following the last Trump admin, and declined since then.
But republicans still think Joe Biden causes inflation.
That’s the way it always works. The Republicans come in and give massive tax cuts to the wealthy. They cut a bunch of education and healthcare programs because they gave that money to people that don’t need it. Then they deregulate everything and let the corporations go crazy with price gouging. Then things look like they’re improving for a minute because corps start buying back all of their stocks, driving the prices up, and giving the appearance of a strong economy. But it’s not strong, it’s a consolidation of wealth at the top.
Eventually as prices rise and wages decrease, people get fed up with the mounting pile of bullshit and vote for Democrats. The Democrats, for all their fecklessness actually try to fix some of those problems, but the problems don’t go away overnight. They continue escalating for 4 years because that’s the pace economies move at. The voters completely forget who put them in this position to begin with and blame the Democrats, so they vote Republican again.
Right about the time the Republicans take office, the work of the Democrats starts producing results and the repubs ride that wave of success for a time, taking full credit, while rat fucking everyone except the 0.1%.
The cycle repeats ad-nausium. People are fucking stupid.
Don’t worry, they will find a way to blame Obama
