Right so can you guys please not vote for this guy now fuck my life 🤦♂️
Best I can do is a historic number of people voting for him a 3rd time, still losing the popular vote and standing a decent chance at winning anyway
☹️
This comment made all the dopamine leave my body at once. Now I look like Voldemort in death fetus mode, except fat and hairy
Unfortunately there are too many stupid Americans, sorry.
Unfortunately the verdict will do nothing to sway his supporters away from him.
I’m signed up to his mailing list for fun. He described it as the darkest day in American history. I’d say roughly half of the country agrees with that assessment.
Saaaad.
Unfortunately it's incredibly difficult to get people to leave cults.
Voting for him is voting against your own self interest.... it's like some oddly bastardized form of the Heaven's Gate mass suicide, but slower and more political.
Now that I think about it...That comparison does feel insulting to Heavens Gate. Their leader believed in what he was preaching and he actually seemed more competent and less malicious since he killed himself too. So I guess a cult that performs a mass suicide is less harmful than trump at this point. I hate this reality so much.
