    I’m seeing new and more insane levels of “Trump is the worst thing ever!” lib comments on a near daily basis now. I can’t even imagine what they’ll be saying once the election is very close. Maybe it will be stuff like “Look - Trump is worse than the so-called genocide and ethnic cleansing. Sorry but not sorry.”

      “Look, Biden may have started WWIII, but do you really want Trump to be in charge of our world war response?”

      It feels like the stakes are way higher now, the US has two parties with their electable figures decaying from old age and probably less than five years away from death. There’s an active genocide going on. There’s a huge recession looming over Europe. The level of importance of this election has broken past “the most important of our lifetimes” and will soon be reaching “the most important in history, perhaps for all eternity”.

      It will be a fucking funny election cycle and I’m here for it. antelope-popcorn

        At least we have that going for us.

        will soon be reaching “the most important in history, perhaps for all eternity”.

        If I was a pathetic human being and all that mattered to me was stuff like karma at reddit - I’d be working hard every single day on the perfect uber-lib “the most important election in eternity” meme. Biden is the wise elder statesman (or a wizard?) and a great man yet a lot of the public ignores or even belittles him.

        Despite their grossly, unjust attitude he is making a superhero-like effort to save them along with all of humanity by fighting the good fight against an horrible monster enemy (orange is ideal) in some beloved pop-culture universe like Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU, Game of Thrones, LOTR, etc.

      Trump is worse than the so-called genocide and ethnic cleansing.

      I feel like you’ll see that now as the prevailing belief. It’s not a genocide, it’s a war and it’s complicated with a history behind it (that isn’t just more of what they’re doing now).

      They’re already saying that. They refuse to call it a genocide, and say that trump will be worse for Gaza. Gaza won’t be there by november partly because of their chosen leader, but that’s Russian dismatzzyya or whatever thing they’re calling it this week
