      lowest charisma

      What? This guy has one of the strongest cult followings of any human being I’ve ever heard of. How is that low charisma?

    It completely baffles me that there are apparently a decent number of people who voted for this jackass who are somehow surprised he’s doing everything he said he spent months telling everyone he was going to do. Dumb fucks deserve all the pain and heartache they’re going to get. I never really understood what people get out of apocalyptic religious stories where the wicked are punished with divine torment for defying God but now that I am faced with so many people who, despite having access to all of the information required to make a better decision, willingly chose to do the wrong thing because of their willful ignorance and greed, I understand these texts so much better. It is maddening to have a way of morality and justice that you believe in and see people who you feel should do better completely disregard all you believe in. It’s no wonder people wrote stories about how there is a day of reckoning coming, where the first shall be last and the last shall be first, the wicked will be punished for knowingly defying the rules, and the good will be rewarded for staying the course. I don’t wish eternal damnation on those who voted for Trump and I don’t think there’s a God who would even do that to them but I don’t feel bad for them at all and I refuse to listen to them cry about losing their jobs or not being able to afford groceries if those things result directly from their decisions. Their Day of Judgement is coming, and it’s entirely self created. Fitting for a group of people who worship a man as a god- their god king is the source of their judgement.

    Yet he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms of trust to handle the nation’s main problems.

    smh

      I mean, last time we gave democrats a majority, they showed themselves untrustworthy by going back on the bulk of their promises.

      And yes, 2020-2022 counts even if you don’t want accountability.

      And then the article:

      “The poll shows 1 in 3 Americans support continuing to send random brown people to a gulag in El Salvador on the off chance it lowers grocery prices.”

      If it’s really that hard for people to tell that biden is no longer president, that’s a damning indictment of the biden presidency.

        It’s an indictment of propaganda. Biden’s presidency was 1000x better that the shit-show we have now and if someone can’t tell the difference then they have their head up their ass or are drinking conservative propaganda through a fire-hose.

          Yeah, that speaks to how bad harris’ campaign was. A significant portion didn’t even know she was running.

                Yes, she did plenty wrong… but you cannot evaluate that without the context and alternative

                If you have cancer and they tell you chemo is your only shot at living even thought it will be painful… you cannot set yourself on fire and pretend it was chemo’s fault for not being a better choice

                  Not everything that inflicts pain is a cancer cure. But damn, people who like inflicting pain sure like to pretend it is.

    I find myself increasingly not giving a shit what other people think. They should have realized 6 months ago what would happen and vote proactively. This guy is not acting like someone who cares about future elections. Which should give us a clue what is going to happen next year in the midterms.
