    Stop grouping the American people in with the President, most of us didn’t vote for him.

    Edit: The government is doing this, not us. The fucker rigged an election and Russian bots have given the deceptive impression that it’s a larger percentage of people that support the president.

    If you really think 40% of us voted for this shit, you’re dumb enough to fall for Russian propaganda.

      I visited the US (small town in NY) in 2022 and every other lawn had a bunch of small Trump flags. Not even a presidential election year.

      I fully believe a large share of the country voted for him at this point. Doesn’t mean that he’s absolved of fuckery in swing states

            There are more land with its people voting republican, but that’s population density, California has more population than 20+ states, but don’t just visit those 20 red backwards ass states and be like: “See, 20 red state states vs one California”

              That’s true, but California itself also has a load of conservative small towns in the desert. The system for the senate is fucked tho

        It’s hard to fix the problem when MAGAts are fucking morons. My dipshit moron uncle tried that shit on me recently, and tried to compare “what we’ve suffered the last 4 years” as if the fascist authoritarian crackdowns we are seeing are anywhere near anything under Biden.

        These people are willingly and gladly stupid/ignorant and refuse anything that refutes the inaccurate worldview in their heads. I’m trying when I can, but talking to these dumbasses is infuriating at times (probably intentionally to keep people from being able to disabuse them of their ignorance).
