Giving out an ultimatum to blow up civilian infrastructure is a war crime right

      Under 32% of Americans voted for this to happen.

      Most Americans didn’t give enough of a shit to vote at all. It’s really fucking bad here. This society has been sick for my entire existence, and the toxicity of it is vastly understated. People are miserable here, and stressed too the point of self-preservation as a norm.

      I don’t think Americans ever got a choice in the matter. Trump ran as an anti war candidate, about a third of Trump supporters do not support this war, and the majority of Americans are opposed to it.

        None of that matters. The fact is that obese orange thing still got elected by the direct or indirect actions of voting for, or ‘protesting’ by not voting at all.

        Even if you take away all the paedophilia ‘accusations’ ;⁠-⁠);⁠-⁠), and the bankruptcies and corruption etc etc etc and then solely go with what that fat cunt did during the first term then that should be enough for any intelligent person to not vote for that thing again. But no, that’s just too much for the rest of the fucking world to ask for!!

        I don’t give a shit what the average american is opposed to when the rest of the world have to also suffer the consequences of electing in a dementia riddled, warmongering, tyrannical old twat with the temperament and bowel habits of a tantrumming toddler.

          Trump voters and the non voters deserve to get the third degree burns. The rest of us are the poor fuckers on the crashing airplane with them.

          Even if you take away all the paedophilia ‘accusations’

          At this point you can just say “the fact that he’s a pedophile”

          Also, I feel like you’re attributing too many grandiose-in-a-bad-way adjectives to him. He’s just a spoiled unloved rich kid with a two digit IQ who has managed to surround himself with two digit IQ lackies.

          Yes all of that matters. My point is that US democracy is a sham. There have been plenty of studies that show US policy is dictated almost exclusively by the interests of the wealthy and not the interests of the population at large. Trump is symptom of this mess.

          Americans are frustrated at their current conditions but they have no tools to understand why they suffer. The American education system is full of propaganda and so is their corporate run media. The wealthy capitalists that control the US are okay with Americans picking Trump as an acceptable outlet for their frustrations. The alternative to that would be real left wing policy and they can’t accept that.

          Also recognize, the world suffered under democrats as well. Obama turned Libya into a perpetual war zone and Biden supported one of the most well documented genocides of our time. It’s a hubristic empire run by pedophiles and pedophile enablers and it never mattered what the people really wanted.

          Well, you better keep fighting the good fight and accusing all Americans, including all those who are trying to help.

          Trump loves you for that. You are a great asset to MAGA.

        Looking back at the process to evaluate our leaders makes this statement pop. A debate with 5 minute responses to world challenges where the candidates can talk over each other? Wtf are we even doing.

      People supporting him is not nearly as important as who can stop it in the next day
