    Sorry, but that argument doesn’t hold water anymore. We gave you guys the benefit of the doubt for his first term, but this time you knew exactly what you were getting, and you allowed him back anyway. 32% of the eligibile population voting for him is not just some small minority.

      Last time he didn’t win the popular vote, so there was some consolation to be taken. This time we really don’t have an excuse.

      you know…elections can be rigged, right?

      I wonder how the Germans that fought against fascism felt when people spit on them and called the Nazis?

        The vast majority didn’t fight Trump’s return. The vast majority still aren’t fighting.

        I’m guessing that the Poles didn’t give a fuck about German feelings after WWII, and no one gives a fuck about your feelings now. Until something more than hand wringing on the internet is done, expect the negativity to continue.

          I don’t know exactly who you are talking about, but I did everything I could. Unfortunately I am not a fucking billionaire so my efforts don’t hit as hard. That said, I actually couldn’t believe the results of the election. I think there are a lot of people didn’t expect this outcome. I mean it was hard to imagine re-electing a person who actually lost their reelection bid before, and that person is one of the most caustic and evil people to ever hold office. It was unprecedented.

      You would condemn the 30% that voted against him, the non voters, not to mention the children, just for the crimes of a minority, however multitious?

        The children? No.

        The dead weight “opposition” that does nothing but complain online? Yes. Blood is in your hands too.

          Just to be clear, which do you condemn more? Those who voted for Democrats or third party, or those who refused to vote altogether?

            I think this is a pretty pointless distinction, but sure, here’s a convenient nine-year-old ready list for your reference, ordered best to worse:

            A person actively protesting, sabotaging and working politically against the current administration > A crusty sock I’ve forgotten I’ve left behind my bed after a gym session > Person voting for a democrat > Person not voting > Person voting for a Republican > Person voting for Donald Trump > Hitler

              Is it not possible that the capitalist system we work under makes it very difficult for many people to protest, either through working them so hard that they have no energy, or no time, or makes it harder for them to get work or even keep their jobs to survive if they openly oppose the establishment, eg on social media?

              Are these oppressed people truly worse in your eyes than a crusty sock?

                When was history ever easy? What exactly did you expect, to induce change by tweeting angrily? Is the difficulty more important than the lives being lost?

                Either way, not sure how that’s an answer to my comment. There are a thousand different ways to fight that aren’t simply sharing a perfectly rehearsed AOC rebuttal that is precisely long enough to make for a viral TikTok video designed by a PR team and then feeling like you’re different. You are not. Voting for a party is not the end of your civic duties, nor does it make you opposition if that’s the end of your actions.

                Depends on who they voted for.
                Depends on their actions now.

                A worker got fired from Ford for having more courage than most. Hopefully gofundme will unblock all his donations.
