      Let’s not pretend here. Over half of America voted for him this time. Last time almost half of America voted for him.

      This is America. You can blame russia, you can blame whoever, but still the end of the day this is America and Americans fault.

      Go talk to the 60% of white people in this country who voted for him and make them realize that they are idiots and racists. Then maybe you’ll get a change.

        Nope, less than half of eligible voters did in fact vote for Trump. This is quite less than half of America in addition.

        63% of eligible voters voted in 2024 and 49% of the popular vote went to Orange Hitler.

        155000000 out of 244000000 voters voted roughly. About 76000000 voted for the orange pedo, which is about 23% of the USA’s population of 336000000.

          Yeah propaganda exists but the point is that this is already who the US has shown themselves to be. It is and has been a racist oligarchy for as long as I’ve been alive, and most likely longer.

          The second Obama won you had shitheads burning efficiency of him or hanging him from trees.

          My point is it’s easy to blame Russian interference, etc. It’s harder to look inwards and realize that oh hey, this country is actually just not thatbgreat and we’ve been living on lies for the last 80 years.

          It is deeply, deeply racist and always has been. It is deeply oligarchical, and always has been.

          There is more in common with modern day russia than there is with any civilized 1st world country in western Europe.

        Not half the population. Using approximates:

        US population: 345 million

        Can vote: 245 million

        Did actually vote: 156 million (63%)

        Voted drump: Just over half (78 million or 50.5%) of those that voted

        US population who voted for tangerine: Around 22%, or 1 in 4

        US population who could vote and did vote for tangerine: 31%, or 1 in 3

    I saw a trump supporter on twitter say he could see Trump raping his mother right in front of him and he would still vote for him.

    That is what we are up against and all these nut jobs are going to have a free for all for the next four years.

      That person will likely never change but it doesn’t matter. We need to focus most importantly on empowering and mobilizing those who are already against Trump and focusing on those who either don’t yet have an opinion on Trump (yes they exist), those who are on the fence about him and make our case. Expand our base.

      For people in the don’t like Trump category we must teach them how effectively resist him. I think the single most important action is working on building a powerful opposition who will run in local races in 2025 and nationally in 2026. We must work to get as many Democratic votes as possible. Don’t sleep on 2025 because depending on where you live there could be judges up for election or election commissioners. It depends on where you live.

        Democrats are toast. They couldn’t beat the easiest guy to beat two times in a row. Blow the whole party up, get rid of the corporate shills, make it an actual democratic left wing party instead of a right wing party and then maybe they’ll get some votes again

        You don’t win by just saying ‘get more Democratic votes’.

        Trump won because he convinced people he was a solution for the corruption. If you want votes for someone else, offer specific solutions to address those concerns. People are fed up with politicians. If you want to sway those votes to blue you’re going to have to offer something beyond business as usual.

          He is the corruption but he is their corruption so it is okay. Kind of like my abortion is the only righteous abortion only with rape, fraud, and pedophilia.

        There might be a need to focus on those that see your comment as super naive. Trump’s January 20th, 2025 “deportation” is the beginning of something completely different that the United States hasn’t seen since … I don’t know which US reign of terror against which minority to use as a comparison but yeah the idea of voting out a Hitler sounds so not in tune with the upcoming reality.

        And there is no stockpile of weapons or warriors or whatever to take on the resources available to Trump transforming the Office of the President of the United States of America to the Throne of Trump.

          It’s terrifying, I too worry that what happens will be worse than anything we’ve seen before too.

          I didn’t quite understand your first sentence. Would you be able to elaborate more on what you mean?
