Trump hasn’t so much failed us as we have failed ourselves.

The corporate media wants Trump back in the White House. They can't actually say that, but they do. The "journalists" want to go back to ragebait headlines from the president 3-4 times a day, and the oligarchs that own them want tax cuts and deregulation.

Biden's every slip up was a sign of dementia and catastrophic, while they sanewash and maybe "have concerns" about Trump's obvious decline. Treating Trump's antics seriously and allowing him to control the news cycle was at the top of every list of mistakes made in 2016. They're doing it this time on purpose.

Because everyone is chasing the dragon and no one gives a shit. Everyone with so much as an LLC tto their name is salivating at the tax cuts and deregulations. No one gives a shit. They just want to shut their eyes and worship Mammon. Solving problems and progressing world living standards is too hard.

Not true. I would very likely benefit financially from his policies but I would not even for a second consider backing that scumbag out of self interest.

What is incredible to me that those who stand the most to lose, lower and lower middle class folks are the ones that most fervently support him.

Around my neighborhood the only houses with Trump signs are the crappiest, smallest houses, that have not had an improvement since 1985.

This seems like the long-intended outcome by the swine that have pulled the Republican party’s strings for decades. Ike was the last decent Republican.

Just who the fuck do you think took away American prosperity by promoting socioeconomic stratification at every turn? And who the fuck benefits from a traitor like trump?

Republicans are traitor filth.

Racism. Misogyny. Homophobia. Capitalism.
