...... So fucking what?

"Ooh, he hasn't got a mandate." Yeah, know what he has got?

CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT. And no intention of ever giving it up.

(Yes, I know, don't abandon hope, organise, and all that. But crap like this just reads like "it'll obviously work out fine just wait it out" shit. Which famously Does Not Fucking Work)

Idk, I can respect where you're coming from, but this meme feels more to me like a counter to people who are saying "Trump won, this is what America voted for, if you fight against his agenda you're fighting against the will of the people" etc. type crap

Totally agreed that just hoping things will work out fine isn't any kind of plan, but a reminder that the average human being doesn't like what's happening right now can help people feel a little less crazy when they're staying informed about current events

Fucking wrong. Every asshole who abstained from voting, voted for Trump. He received 60%. At the very least, that 30% didnt vote for someone else.

"69.16% of Americans are okay with fascism" isn't really a resounding defense of the health of American democracy in the face of fascism, though.

More people didn't vote at all than let this demented rapist burn everything down.

Fucking idiots.

As usual, apathy is the greatest ally of authoritarianism.

Well the US clearly doesn’t mind that much cause they’re accepting his neverending stream of shit.

Does it sound like we don't mind that much? Srs?

Not talking about the corporate news sewers, which is a whole other discussion. Average schmucks who live in America, do they sound like they don't mind it much?

The meme is about how razor-thin their control is. And it is. It is also (at the moment) time-bound.

I am curious how many of those 36% that didn't vote wanted to but couldn't due to gerrymandering and other bullshit.
