Well he may not be afraid, but I'm legitimately concerned the administration will deport him under the guise of that anti-conmunist law the Reich wing is buzzing about... There is no stopping them if they wanted to. :(

"there is no stopping them if they wanted to" mfers when we show up and de-arrest people from ice captivity

That's when a work stoppage should happen. Complete shutdown.

I'm concerned about either that or another right-wing domestic terrorist assassinating him.

If I were him I’d be investing big in private security

"Oh look at that it's an Iranian backed organization. What are the odds." - Half the GOP

"It's clearly Antifa trying to blame the innocent, Russian backed Iran." - Other half of the GOP

Give people something to vote for and people will vote.

Gotta build it before people show up, even Kevin Costner knew that 35 years ago

He gave people something to vote for...

It was a stupid hateful thing, but it was a thing his base wanted.

Biden/Kamala didn't, at every opportunity they'd talk about their similarities to trump on things like Palestine, the border, healthcare, fracking, pretty much any question they asked they'd say they mostly agree with trump, but have slight differences.

That was trying to get people to vote against trump due to a slight difference, still voting against trump because the difference made trump worse.

So yeah...

That's the largest reason trump is president again.

Yes? What makes you think otherwise?

If the communist left somehow elected a candidate that sends the Superpolice to billionaire's homes and kidnap them to el salvador, everyone else would probably be like "it's just crazy people wanted that"

Everyone knows that the current system is broken. Trunp has been saying that he will tear the system down while the Dems have been going on about how everything is actually great. People don't care what the change is, they just want something different.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yea but the left also does the same. They don't say everything is going great. But they do exactly the same thing they did last time they said everything was terrible. Therefore they must think what they do works pretty well otherwise you'd think they'd change their methods at some point right?

Like how many things does PETA need to change themselves to before you stop eating hamburgers ya know?

How many people can we fit into a street and how many heads need to be caved in before the left gets some higher taxes right?

No, Trump won because of foreign influence primarily from Russia. Also he had help from the billionaire class and the GOP propaganda machine.

Together they were able to tip the scales less than what Trump lost by in 2020.

They accomplished this by convincing democratic voters to either not vote or to vote for Trump.

While those things had an affect, I don't think they were the main reason. The Dems sitting on their ass when they had a chance to fix things, their pandering to the rich, their pro-war stance, and their general disdain for the desires of their voting base were a much bigger reason.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Money makes or breaks elections.

I think Dems would’ve lost by much more if they didn’t work with the rich, the military industry, etc.

For example, the progressives that lost their elections because AIPAC funded their opposition.

Zohran should drop a diss track on Spotify that targets the corrupt maga grifters. That shit would go viral AF.
