    As an American, my personal opinion is that America deserves all the pain in inflicts upon itself by electing literal morons and spineless idiots year after year, culminating in the literal Idiocracy America has become.

    Americans elected a dumb asshole, and natural consequences followed.

    And I know I’m not gonna see so much as one picosecond of displeased facial expression from any of you “the Democrats didn’t impress me enough” non-voters, since this is what you decided was an acceptable outcome.

      I don’t know who is worse. Those “the democrats don’t impress me” people or the “both sides are the same” people…

      No we don’t. Outside of rich assholes who stand to profit, not a single American wants this. We are just too stupid to handle the conman who tells us to our face that he’s going to ruin is.

      There is a line from “Going Postal” which sums it up amazingly, but I can’t find the quote. Something to the effect of “I tell them what I am, I show them how the cards are marked, and they smile and nod to each other, and think themselves fine fellows for doing business with me.”

      It’s infuriating. We could use a Vetrinati just now.

        There are an unpleasant number of US citizens who thing we’re going be able to use his bullshit to their advantage and that’s why they’re in it for him.

        Yes they do.

        not a single American wants this.

        1/3 openly wants to suck Trumps dick and loves everything he does. 1/3 didn’t care to get off their couch, so they’ve openly accepted what Trump is going to do, none of which should be a surprise unless you decided to cut yourself off from politics, which means you just don’t care.

        The only people that didn’t want this is the remaining 1/3 that voted against Trump. As for the rest of you, this is all on you. You wanted this and you’re going to get it.

          They one third, and to an extent the second third, want the racism, the homophobia, the dismantling of government, maybe even the wreckage of the US as an international power.

          None of them wanted higher prices.

          Oh blow it out your ass.

          “All of them want this!”

          “1/3 want this!”

          Firstly, be consistent. Secondly, the 1/3 that voted in favor voted for the lies they were told (and to hurt brown people).

          Nobody voted for that moron because of what he would actually do. Those aware voted against. Those in favor bought all the lies.

          Either way you’re full of shit.
