Well a plurality did vote for this after he was convicted of crimes and they saw what he did in the first go around.

I mean… we allow it, so…. Half-right?

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 9 points 2 months ago

It’s hard to argue they aren’t fully right, just not in the way they think.

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault. <--- You are here
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, You deserved it.

Oh sorry, my super powers are on cooldown so I can't just rush through them like a fucken viltrumite. Looks like its organizing my community and connecting local to national networks for now.

Their crimes are everyones fault but theirs, just like with their father.

Plurality of voters.

Only ~64% of voters voted in 2024...

"None of the above" would have won the most votes if everyone voted, but that's not how the system works

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago

30% of US adults voted for trump.

In a democracy, that would be a crippling defeat that might spell the end of your party, not give you complete control of all branches of government.

Truth is people who don't vote don't matter.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Just watch these jackasses become our future leaders

Oh guillotine, who we art in need

Hallowed be thy memory.

Thy victim be screaming

Thy blade be falling

To Earth as it was in the sky.

Give us this day our daily justice

On Earth

As it was deserved.

And lead us not into despair.

But deliver us from Republicans.

For thine is the hope, the justice, and the revenge.

Forever and ever.

Amen

It's what dictatorships do.
The question is which of the numerous pieces of shit children that the orange child rapist vomited out of his tiny mushroom dick do you want to take over the leadership when Dictator Donvict finally has the inevitable heart attack?

"Look what you made us do!"

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

They are not wrong. No one asked for tougher anti corruption laws in the US.

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Why would they? It's the world's bestest democracy! /s

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Okay there has to be some Its Always Sunny memes for this moment.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, they expected to be in jail long before this, so they couldn’t be corrupt

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Classic DARVO shit.

It's rampant these days, from assholes like Tucker saying if he turns fascist, it's because the mean liberals made him do it, to the Murc's Law media and the reactionary centrists blaming all of the excesses of the radical right wing/Republicans on liberals/Democrats.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

This literally absurd take is compounded in stupidity with the fact they acknowledge they’re being pieces of shit and opt not to change.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
