Trump just made the right populist noises and voters elected him over whoever the Democratic Neoliberal Committee decided to stand up this time.
Brilliant strategy. I couldn’t imagine how the poor neglected DNC with no influence or resources could ever stand up to that.
Oh no! We lost and democracy’s in danger, hurry and donate to our fundraising drive!
We had 8 years to deal with trump if we just give and fight maybe he will die at the ripe age of 85 and the problem will solve itself, right?
Trump will go down in history as the greatest con artist that ever lived.
Or the most ruthless dictator this side of the 21st century. You decide.
He heard about that Hawk Tuah girl getting famous and he figured he’d give it a shot and spit on that thang himself.
ITT people replying in earnest without viewing the GIF.
Lol
Taught about Watergate and Deep Throat in 2016 but then stayed at a Holiday Inn one night.
I love and hate this gif because it illistrates so clearly what the problem is but our entire political system cannot begin to address it. Trump can sit there and fellatiate a microphone because our norms say there is nothing wrong with it. Our politics say, that is one of the most egregious acts someone can display in a political setting and it will surely result in a loss of support. One of these two things is wrong.
Overall turnout was low. I blame crappy Democrat candidates
I blame stupid fucking Americans.
They chose facism over a candidate they weren’t enthusiastic about.
Let America burn. It deserves it.
It’s not Americans fault they were given two crappy candidates for three consecutive elections 🤷 Most of us just stayed home
Viewing politics as a spectator sport is certainly the fault of a misinformed, unenlightened electorate. The crappy candidates continue to pop up because that’s the best our corporate trash parties can do with political couch potatoes that are less interested in whether or not their neighbors suffer and die than about which walking cosmetic surgery mishap was a removed at brunch, or which bimbo was chosen on the bachelor.
Trump himself is even a product of this couch potato culture and was well known before running for office for being the biggest, baddest boss of them all in a reality TV game show full of complete idiots pretending to run companies in front of cameras for the prize of a fictional job at a scam corporation.
The DNC cannot win. They are the space shuttle and we are wanting to go to mars.
