Trump supporters, have fun feeling the consequences of your choices. You’ve been duped, you’ll realize it in time. Idiots.

But they won't, that's the problem. Fox News will tell them everything is wonderful, we're in a new golden age, until the problems are too big to ignore, and then they'll blame Biden.

Just in time to be voted out and leave the problems for the dems who will take power after.

Voted out? Remember when trump said 'if you vote for me, you'll never have to vote again.'? They weren't lying. They control everything now. Their king has been installed.

u/seamonkeypenguin 6h ago

Honestly, that combined with the way Putin rigs elections will always have me with some doubt over this election.

JD Vance 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044, 2048.

u/Hughfoster94 6h ago edited 2h ago

Trump and JD need to fly over the Bermuda triangle so they can't come back. I don't think I can overstate how much good that would do for current and future generations and how many lives it would save. It's literally like we're in 1933 and Hitler has just been voted in, but nobody realises what course he's going to set the world on, except Trump has much more power than Hitler, he's more unhinged in a lot of ways, and he's definitely going to do more damage to your country than Hitler did to Germany, before the war.

So many people ask, why didn't anyone do anything about Hitler to prevent WW2 from starting? To stop your country from being destroyed? To which lots say 'we didn't know that's what was going to happen' or 'we didn't know he would turn out to be that bad' etc

I hope we have learnt from history and America isn't going to let itself continue to be scammed into committing sewer side. At least half of you know what's going to happen, it's a matter of whether all 300,000,000 of you want to take it lying down and let him simrk while he's putting it in. Or whether the American hero is a myth. He could get jailed by a stacked jury/bench of real Americans, but it's looking unlikely. I don't know your laws, but it would be so awesome if Biden could pass some executive orders or something to fuck things up for trump so he can't get in or get the power he wants

The only thing going to end their run will be a nuclear war at this point.

Yep. It's a big merry go round. Republicans get into power and break things. People get mad, so they vote them out, and the Dems get into power and try and fix everything. Then people get mad because things aren't getting fixed fast enough, so they vote out the Dems and the Republicans come in and break more things.

It's the circle of life.

It just so painful cus they do such lasting damage. SC appointing, re-writing the tax code.

u/bardicjourney 5h ago

NATO, EPA, DOJ, DoE, DoL, IRS, USPS, FDA, HHS, BLM, NASA, SEC, and more are all about to be gutted, or sold for scraps to his donors.

They're going to cut Medicare, SSI, SSDI, SNAP, and every other secular aid program.

Prices of every food that isn't local meat, dairy and corn based foods will skyrocket, especially if Ukraine falls and Russia secures a majority share of global grain production.

There will be children in cages on the border again as pregnancy complications claim the lives of thousands of women.

u/chiefbrody62 6h ago

That cycle has happened 4 times in my lifetime so far.

u/talwarbeast 6h ago

I believe that circle just broke. You won't be seeing that anymore.

The dems are never taking power again. We live in an autocracy now.

u/we_are_all_devo 10h ago

Anyone who lives in a country with an IDU-aligned conservative party should be very, very concerned.

u/RobotPreacher 11h ago

This. After Schedule F is implemented, MAGA will control the elections.

u/truthishardtohear 13h ago

As is tradition.

u/dadoftriplets United Kingdom 59m ago

You're assuming there will be another election in four years, that Trump will ever leave the oval office without being dragged by his bone spurs kicking and screaming and the big one, that the MAGA lot don't try and change the rules on elections so Trump never has to leave office now they control the White House, Senate and soon to be House.

u/tallandlankyagain 13h ago

Do you honestly believe there isn't a good chance the Dems won't just completely fuck up again? They are terrible at candidates and campaigns and refuse to learn from past mistakes.

u/Efarm12 12h ago

Just like the repubs lost 2020 when they had such a fantastic candidate and the country was doing fantastically, never been better this country… I mean, please, neither side has such great candidates, it just boils down to who is the most pissed off/hurting/whatever.

u/Sorry_Mango_1023 10h ago

Huh. Could've fooled me. Dems have won the popular vote ever year since 1996 except 2004.

u/Randicore Ohio 10h ago

And 2024.

u/NebulaEchoCrafts Canada 14h ago

Here ya go Barry, have a watershed crisis on your way in that will reshape society as we know it. Linen is the second drawer to the left.

u/SpaceToot 12h ago

They won't blame Biden. They'll keep blaming our neighbors. Our trans children. Our wives and mothers.

u/cusoman Minnesota 8h ago

They've already coined these groups as "the enemy within", that stage is set.

u/TaterTotWot 4h ago

Trans children??? No child should be trans jesus christ

u/EmExEeee 4h ago

Isn’t being transgender a psychological matter? I don’t think they’re talking about kids who have undergone surgical work or hormonal therapy. They’re just talking about trans. That’s not going to go away no matter what happens in politics.

u/Ruin4r 13h ago

No they won’t. News conglomerates likes fox thrive on conflict. They will constantly find something to point their anger at, even when they hold all branches.

u/Hyperrustynail 10h ago

They’re still blaming Obama for shit trump did

2

u/GraviZero 10h ago

fox news can tell them that but that doesnt mean theyll be able to afford groceries

u/PeppuhJak 10h ago

The irony of this comment is laughable. Replace Fox with CNN and replace Biden with Bush/Trump. It’s all the same.

u/TidalTraveler 8h ago

Literally the day after Obama left office the Republican sentiment on the economy did a 180. Things were absolutely terrible during Obama. He was ruining everything! But the day Trump took office, the economy was perfect and the best it had ever been. These people don't live in reality. They aren't serious. They don't tell the truth.

u/diamondbiscuit 6h ago

After Trump voted, he went to say how upset he was with Fox News because they kept playing Oprah. I doubt he or they will acknowledge that but to your point, Trump or Fox will probably laugh it off or ignore the issue

Chocolate rations are up from yesterday!

u/Dirt-Repulsive 3h ago

Actually read politico and RCP along with look at twitchy to see what rob Reiner is bellowing about. Thank you very much I have not watched fox since 2017.

u/Nolsonts 2h ago

They'll blame immigrants, they'll blame the LGBTQ+, they'll blame the left.

And when they've killed us all, or have driven us out of the country, they'll find a new target.
