How Can This Country Possibly Be Electing Trump Again?

"HAHAHA YES I LOVE KILLING PEOPLE! NO WE WON'T STOP! NO YOU WON'T GET HEALTHCARE! NO YOU WON'T GET CLIMATE ACTION! NO YOU WON'T GET AFFORDABLE RENT, WE'RE HIKING UP THE PRICE OF GROCERIES TOO! DIE OF COVID, WE DON'T CARE! WE FUCKING HATE YOU AND CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO PRETEND OTHERWISE wait why aren't you voting for us come back we need you at the polls trump bad"

Oh didn't get exactly what you wanted? well then- you should vote him anyways because Trump will do it to you but even worse. Don't agree? I will shame you!
- Reminder the maybe later emote guy lost his primary.

They still haven't figured out how he got elected the first time.

He was a wizard and cast a spell on people living in trailer parks
- pretty much the same as their explanation for Hitler
They decided it was because RUSSIA.
- Yeah, mail in ballots coming from Russia.
- Fucking everything is Russia now
  Joe Biden's own actions? Russia.
  Your favorite site taking ad money from ultra right wing lunatics? Russia.
  That bump in the attic? Believe it or not, Russia.
what no material analysis does to a mfer
- You, me, and countless other posters have said this exact line. This would work as the only tag line on the home page.
Hillary ran a shit campaign, particularly in swing states, that was the primary reason.
- Look just because you can't understand the 12 dimensional chess move of not visiting Wisconsin, doesn't mean it was a shit campaign. Or her sex pest advisor. Or not telling anybody but her competitive sycophants that she was feeling under the weather before her trip to the 911 memorial. Or the pied piper strategy. Or the being under federal investigation for months ahead of the election. Or, jeez this might go on for a while.
  But, also the USA is shit and Trump is exactly the candidate it deserved. He played all the of the US's Favorite Hits and the media made sure he got plenty of coverage.
it's okay, i dont think our opposition parties have figured out how and why orban keeps winning... this seems to be normal behavior

At this point I’m calling this a dedicated campaign on the part of Biden and the democrats to get Trump elected. If they were trying their best to get Trump to win it would look no different from what they’re currently doing so i have to assume that’s what they’re doing.

The purpose of a system is what it does.
- I almost put that as the last sentence of my comment
The democrats love losing, getting owned is their favorite thing

Democrats get elected after the most important election of our lives, with the mandate to end populist fascism and bring back the Obama years. Then they spend 3 years fucking up, then calling anyone who notices a dumb hick russian bot. Now it's a few months out and it's time for the most important election again.

It's how we always slide to the right. They never do shit, just hop from one gaff to another with a smug attitude.

They're not even pretending to pander like they usually do. There's no gestures at minimum wage increases, there's no promises about making homes more affordable or bringing down cost of living generally, who has even heard about healthcare reform since 2021?
We're dying young and poor and they're telling us to "be grateful for it, or else!" Or else what?! The largest orangest adult son will embarrass the bourgeoisie to their cultured European friends? Who gives a shit?! Couldn't triangulate a worse position if you tried.
- Their platform is lecturing poor people on how it’s entitled and selfish to want a living wage

"No way to avoid this" says only party this consistently happens to

With the electoral college, Trump really only lost by ~80K total votes across four swing states and that's with Brandon winning the popular vote by 6M and historic voter turnout. All that to say that the country barely DIDN'T elect Trump last time so I'm not surprised that he has a shot this time.

iirc, it was even less than that. 43,000 across three states. arizona, georgia, and wisconsin. I think.
- with a voter turnout % only surpassed by the one right before the civil war

God what fucking world are these people living in? The economy is good??? Inflation is solved??? My grocery and gas bills are still nearly double what they were before Biden took office so I’m going with “That’s a fucking lie”

Don't you see they have statistics on their side though!
I'm so tired of hearing "real wage growth has rebounded faster than ever before!"
Really? In what fucking jobs that working class people are working? You telling me grocery store workers are getting paid more? Or delivery drivers? Looking into the data I'm sure the growth is entirely driven by the top 40% of earners who don't love in anything close to the precarity that average working class folks do.
The only reason there is any gains at all is because unions are striking and just vaguely point at rent increases and grocery food prices and even company negotiators are forced to grant giant raises because public perception would annihilate them otherwise.
Claiming Biden caused any of this is ludicrous. He made the rich get richer and we have to fight tooth and nail for every cent we claw back from them. Fuck Biden he deserves to lose, and it's a shame Trump is the alternative, because the path forward is bad or worse.
Yeah your grocery bill may have doubled, but now it won't double again (for a while) - we solved your problem!
- libs pointing to a graph that shows the rate of inflation went down from 9% to 4% per year
  See? Things are getting cheaper so you can't even complain anymore

Yeah they act as if Biden himself magically invented inflation and Trump will magically fix it. Breaking news: that’s not how that works.

Uh breaking news when inflation happens people kick out the ones in power even if the ones they replace them with don't actually change anything.

Oh it doesn't work that way? Perhaps it would behoove them to stop pretending it does, then

When I'm in a being smug competition and my opponent is a reddit lib

Trump is America personified what do you mean

The avatar of America.

Guy who says he will do something about the rapidly lowering working class quality of life is running against guy who says he will not do something about the rapidly lowering working class quality of life. Both are fascists with nearly identical beliefs

After barely winning because Trump killed 2 million people with shitty decisions he only pissed off labor activists, climate activists, people who care about immigration, Healthcare, abortion and genocide.

Surely the 4 people who don't care about any of that and also aren't already voting for Trump will be an effective coalition.

cause it's a stupid country full of assholes

Death to America

The Democrats are like the restored Bourbons: "They forget nothing and learn nothing."

Being the president doesn't bring in the money that being the opposition party does so it's time to lose the election

lmao

most braindead sub on

, and that's saying something

That sub... That fucking sub. The whole damn thing is an experiment on the liberal brain. They figured out a Skinner box to get them to clap like trained seals for the most meaningless gestures of 'slay Queen energy', while their government nakedly does the opposite of what they say they want. It's trained them to respond to theatrics and think of themselves as being the main good guy character in a never ending struggle. It's come down to nothing more than entertainment, football for socially inept debate club dweebs.
I think r/worldnews might actually take the cake, but r/politics isn't that far behind.
Only this comment made me realize this was a link, why does it look exactly like a text post
- This has been my biggest issue with the site post federation, very annoying
- It might as well be, every comment in that link is a LLibM-esquian
  beyond satire. Is anyone there real?

How do you salvage a country where Trump is the harm reduction candidate 3 times in a row?

I put it this way: Obama led to Trump. Biden is the older whiter half of the Obama administration. Why would that not obviously lead back to Trump?

I even made this argument when I was canvassing for Bernie in 2019. Boggles my mind so many libs can't see it.

"And where did it bring you?
"
Boggles my mind so many libs can't see it.
Simple, they see Trump as a fluke.
Why would that not obviously lead back to Trump?
Honestly imo we’re lucky it’s only leading back to Trump and not someone worse
Elaborate on that

It's the economy, stupid.

These libs are fucking hopeless.

Same as the first time, the Democrats have a slam dunk election, all they gotta do is like, appear to have a shred of humanity and it's an easy win, and instead they show their whole asshole to everybody and then pretend to be baffled when nobody likes it.

I really do want to stress that Joseph Robinette Biden owes me $600 and that alone would be enough to make me go “fuck you I’m not voting”

Lord help me I engaged

Thank you for your service

Record scratch

You may be wondering how I ended up here.

Cue footage of Stalin's funeral

A degenerate electorate, bought to you by our partners, poor education, crushing debt, Budweiser and the NFL.

The sheer

from these people is basically the only thing about this election I'm looking forward to
