I would highly advise shutting off your brain before going there. I've seen it. And while I don't personally agree, I could see the effect it would have on huge numbers of people. Really. To me, he is a fake merging between a celebrity and a salesman, yet don't forget the huge impact they have on our daily lives.
Well no I know this already lol, and it's why I didn't care about it when he was president. Its 100% hyperbole and I had no interest in a president I don't agree with doing that.
Yeah, hyperbole is the domain of politicians. And yet that he upsets the other politicians, who we all know is lying, is perhaps why so many brush them off, and refocus on him. When honestly, he goes out of his way to incite. It's why I don't trust him any more than the corporate elite.

What I personally don't care about it for is that his fan base aren't intuitive about any of this, and at the very least I feel that he misdirects matters in the same fashion as general conservatives while also doing it for people who aim to know as little as possible about public administration.

I blame that on lowering education standards. Plus, he is kind of fascinating to watch in a train-wreck sorta fashion.

Actually, make that a train wreck, then followed by a six-way traffic pile-up against it, then followed by a lightning strike that sets the whole mess on fire, followed after that by a meteor hitting it in a blazing nuclear crescendo, and just when you think it's over, the debris rains down and everyone's hair is set ablaze in the nearby town, where they run screaming until one of them bumps over a canister of oil that winds its way down into the sewers, where the right combination of an electrical spark sets all that into an incandescence, and just when you think it's over, in come the medevac choppers asking everyone below if they need assistance, with the news choppers flying in and the two collide, raining down giant, spinning blades onto the populace and reducing them to meat. And just when you think THAT'S over, the drug dealers begin spiking all the water sources when survivors race to dunk their heads in, getting completely geeked up on speed and meth so that they wind up going nuts and tearing down statues and defecating in the streets, and it just goes on and on and on...

That's his Twitter feed. I am convinced the man only sleeps four hours a day.

Just want to say how proud of i am of america right now. Removing a dictator during a dictatorship is near impossible (typically it takes civil war or a death/ power vacuum) but for four years you’ve been fighting back and now you’re fighting a heavily rigged, horribly unfair election and not giving Trump that “landslide victory” dictators typically get. I want you to know that many of us across the world, see those 50/50 looking results and don’t see america as half and half but 30% cultists who were given an easy vote and 70% people who’s vote was very hard to get out (we saw the lines, we saw the fake ballotboxes) and often outright thrown away. We hear that more people voted for Biden than have ever voted for a candidate before. We see your judges fighting to have every vote counted and the diverse new congressfolks you’ve voted in. The narrative of a close race omits that one team had skates on a downhill road and the other had an obstacle couse littered with dirty needles, fences to break through, barbed wire to crawl under and rabid dogs blocking the way.

And CNN, and the Associated Press have called the race for Biden due to his still expanding lead in Pennsylvania. Even if Trump could take Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona he has no path to victory.

I am so glad Tuesday is over.
It's OK to make mistakes as long as you don't make the same ones. If you do then you're not learning.

I feel as if it is always worth remembering that Trump did not freefall like many predicted him to. He lost only by a few million which is a gap that can be recovered.

Basically what I am saying America is that if you do not want to go through this again, fix your shit by the time Trump has a crack at 2024.
