GW Bush Jr was an Angel compared to trump. Dubya had his faults and was an average president at best, but at least he wasn’t a racist, criminal, entitled, petty, pervert, mean-spirited, failure, corrupt, egomaniacal narcissist unfit to be elected president and govern a country like trump is. In a fair, sane and decent world, Trump doesn’t belong in politics. He doesn’t have the ability, experience, poise, intelligence, required and necessary knowledge, tact, wisdom, assurance, credibility and the gravitas of a true statesman. He carries himself like a bully and a big loudmouth clown, and many people mistake that for charisma, strength and authenticity.


Pre-trump/maga GOP of the 1990s/2000s/early 2010s was very different from the gop post 2016. It’s night and day literally. Maga gop is openly fascist/racist/ meanwhile the old gop tried to be respectable, inclusive, professional and colorblind-conservative. You Notice that Establishment old republicans like bob dole, John McCain, Donald Rumsfeld, mitt Romney, Jeb bush, bush senior and junior, dill cheney and Condoleezza rice/colin Powell never fukked with trump like that and actively distanced themselves from the maga cult.

I agree. Conservatives were tolerable. Now that MAGA shyt should concern everyone. Imagine David Duke in the White House with the support of some of the biggest billionaires in the world.

As you said, trump is very petty. The biggest concern is there are no rules, there are no red lines, he will do whatever. You always figure a president could be trusted to do the right thing no matter if you fukk with him or not. Trump is dictator level, he is capable of anything.

That map is depressing.

“inflation”

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Did I just read Bush Jr wasn’t racist
So his response to Katrina never happened
Y’all just be typing shyt

 

[Rekkapryde]

Trump had to beat two women to become president.

He was dumb and a war monger

With Katrina he said he was tryin to let the governor and mayor lead the way after speaking with both and use him for assistance with whatever they needed. Dem two idiots clearly didn't agree and fukk with each other so he should've taken control. Already know he should've been out there way sooner and that shyt wouldn't have happened had it been a buncha cacs floating. His response would've been quicker to be out there no doubt.

Maga gop is openly fascist/racist, meanwhile the old gop tried to be respectable, inclusive, professional and colorblind-conservative. MAGA GOP is intolerable and unacceptable, while the old GOP was at least acceptable and tolerable. They didn’t deviate from normalcy, continuity and democracy unlike trump/maga. You Notice that the old establishment republicans like bob dole, John McCain, Donald Rumsfeld, mitt Romney, Jeb bush, bush senior and junior, dill cheney and Condoleezza rice/colin Powell never fukked with trump like that and actively distanced themselves from the maga cult.

God bless you. You must be young. George W was damn near EVERYTHING Trump is. He was absolutely racist, entitled, petty, bumbling, corrupt, and goaded the country into a war we had NO business being in. The shyt George W pulled makes Trump’s first term look like JFK’s. Trump cod go for the gusto and plunge us all into a long night his second go round but George W Bush was the fukking anti-christ made flesh and only Trump’s public blustering makes George look halfway competent or tolerable in hindsight.

 

[NobodyReally]

OMG, y'all, can we start a thread to collect all of these hopes and dreams and promises. I want a record of receipts when the gas, rent, mortgages, and price of food DOESN'T go down, but sky rockets. lol. Did they even listen to Elon? He already said it's going to get much worse, and that they have to brace themselves for hard times while they dismantle everything. Do these fools even listen to their own leaders? lol I think I'm just gonna go somewhere, hoard a bunch of shyt, invest in shyt that's gonna get scarce and check all the way the fukk out of this foolishness until 2028.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

You think those massive tariffs are gonna help the economy? That will directly increase the cost of goods

Plus, Elon's influence could also wreck the economy.

And this was the last time Trump was on the ballot, the GOP has underperformed when he wasn't on the ballot.

A better Dem campaign (which they have 4 years to prepare for) should at least be able to do 3 points better in the "Blue Wall" states plus Georgia.

It's cute y'all think elections will be the same as always in 4 years. It's cute y'all think this party will allow a normal process going forward.

It's cute y'all think we are not at the point where violence is necessary.

Y'all are cute.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Bernie got did wrong

Im afraid moderates in the party and moderate talking heads will not learn

 

[lib123]

Its soul crushing. The best we can do is survive these next four years and hope the elections in 2026 and 2028 will be legitimate and fair. But we just voted in an actual fascist regime whom I doubt won't go out their way to make elections less fair and transparent to cling on to power going forward. By voting for this man or not voting entirely, millions of people may have put us all in a position where civil strife and disobedience is the ONLY means to move past this.

Countless lives are now endangered unnecessarily. They're endagered because of the actions of 1/3 of the electorate and the other 1/3 who're walking around this bytch completely fukking clueless and don't vote. MAGA isn't the majority of the country. They are a minority. But because roughly 80 million eligible voters don't vote in this country we are in this predicament. Think about that. 80 million fukking people.

A lot of those 80 million people are poor and suffered regardless of who has been president. Trying to motivate someone with $10 in their bank account, childhood trauma from poverty and abuse, and living worried about making it to the next day by saying they need to vote against a “fascist” (which an extremely small percentage of people still living have actually experienced) isn’t going to work.

I know people who are doing well financially and have zero interest in voting.

If someone doesn't care about social issues and their life is going well in terms of financial stability, I can see why they wouldn't care about voting.

Bush was an idiot and had evil people advising him (especially regarding the Iraq war), however Trump has been much more damaging to American society.
