Donald Trump’s reelection is awful, but wallowing in misery only benefits his far-right agenda — and risks squandering the many opportunities we actually have to stop the worst of his plans.

wild how this community went from shitting all over harris and supporting stein, to sudden concern of trump’s election

Trump is just a figurehead. The massive network of grifters behind him will still be there when he croaks.

And they're going to make damn sure they stay in power this time. You're never going to get another chance to simply vote them out. It's going to require a lot more than that now...

Idk two attempts and an Iranian plot that was foiled. Every legal battle being erased. Jerking off the air on stage and fantasizing about Arnold Palmers dick...

I'm starting to think he is invincible.

doesn't matter at all.

he's not the problem. he's a symptom of our greedy easily led white pasty christian dog sperm corporatist oligarchy culture.

of course he's not invincible, but those who come after him will be closer to it than we can defend ourselves from.

America should have taken out all enemies directly, individually, instead of playing these god damn shell games for last decades. but since it didn't, it's finished.

There is no country anymore, there is only corporations and foxnews to disseminate their desired message.

all those bad asses we've seen throughout the years in movies where they were "the last line of defense" for America. lol where's ur god now. they were assimilated and duped to hate fellow americans by russians, getting us fuming at gun control, religion, abortion, race topics and watching us spin like toys. they let their country they spent their lives defending to be usurped by a series of compromised Republicans. because jesus. and alpha male. and wait why would people vote for Ted Cruz if not out of malice for their fellow man? or mitch McConnell ? or Lindsey graham? they were cancers before mr malignant trump came to spread to stage 4.

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
