Freedom for me, chains for you. They don't actually care about real freedom.

They love the freedom to own slaves and stuff like that

You'd think after he didn't pardon the people in person that stormed the Capitol they'd smarten up. If that didn't open their eyes, nothing will.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

(But actually thanks, nurses are the best. How can we make your day better next time we're in the hospital for something completely our own fault?)

If you think voting for literal idiots is an American thing you really haven't been paying attention.

Boris Johnson, Victor Orban, ...

Rage bait

I see this take often and I see the same kinds of responses, but it's really upsetting to see the main culprit is never mentioned.

Yes, some of us are just hateful, but most of the people voting for Trump are exposed to and consume wayyyyy too much propaganda.

Our media has failed us in sooooo many ways all to chase the Almighty Dollar™. We have literal entertainment networks masquerading as "News" because they're allowed to act however they wish. We have actual "news" corporations acting like entertainment. We have Fox News and Newsmax straight up fabricating a reality for their consumers that is almost exactly the opposite of reality, and then we have CNN, MSNBC, etc, that would rather follow The Days Of Our Trumps T.V drama as opposed to actually doing hard news.

We have 1/3 of our population living in a fantasy reality, 1/3 being made to be enraged about an orange man's dumb tweet instead of learning about potentially good candidates to vote for, and 1/3 that's just apathetic to it all.

We have a gigantic media propaganda problem... We have no real press that the 1st amendment was made to protect, instead we have corporations that are taking advantage of those protections to do whatever they want to make the most money, to hell with what happens to the country...

Edit: all that to say, the people that we see as "OMG how could you possibly vote for him again, are you a monster?" Think "Trump was the best president ever, every news show or podcast or Facebook interaction I have had or watched says as much and proves it."

You should probably be aware that the cheeto never won a majority vote in America. Our democratic system is broken to the core though, and there is basically no way to fix it which is why he still won.

Along with that a good chunk, possibly majority of Americans is already more decent than you because we don't use dehumanizing insults like the R word.

Several states have even proposed banning him from the ballot for his coup attempt, including mine. Unfortunately they are being tossed out, probably by judges that he put in power.

I think you would be surprised at how little power Americans actually have to affect change in our government. Short of dragging our knuckles and starting some uprising like his goons did, change can't happen, and I'm not one to resort to that. I'd sooner head to Canada or Mexico.

Once again pointing out that Trump never won the popular vote. Yes, we need to abolish the Electoral College. It favors the right wing unjustly and undermines the will of the people when it does not align with the popular vote.

Lots of people voted for him, yes. I'll make the argument that things will actually get better as the folks whose cognitive abilities are negatively impacted by a century of burning leaded gasoline start to die off. I believe it's something like >95% of people born between 1945 and 1965 that have enough lead in their bodies to be cause for concern.Can't remember exactly where I read this, but you can do your own Google-Fu.

Striking those last couple sentences and just outright saying that over 90% of the entire population born between 1956 and 1976 were exposed to enough lead to raise medical concern in early childhood, according to the table below.

I'm also back to throw in the table/material I'm referencing. If I'm going to make assertions, I should back them up.

And the source: Half of US population exposed to adverse lead levels in early childhood

If you want some idea of how little we cared about lead exposure, just look up the Tar Creek Superfund Site., which turned three nearby populated areas into ghost towns. It's been reported that children would play on the enormous mounds around Picher, Oklahoma, and those things were covered in lead dust.

And try not to live downwind of small airports.

Put me in a Trump run death camp. Me and all my new pals will be living better than most Americans in the new order within a week. For sure would rather be there than a part of Gilead.

Some things sure did happen
