From an outside perspective I have been waiting for years for the USA to go "haha gotcha! We pranked the whole world!".

Please hurry.

Believe me, when this piece of rancid filth ends up behind bars, most of us will be as relieved as you.

Remember, he only won in the first place because our stupid fucking electoral college system screwed the country. Most of us never wanted him, and can't wait to see him in a jumpsuit that matches his stupid skin.

I won't be relieved, because at that point there will be thousands (millions?) of irate, brainwashed acolytes who are told that he is an innocent political prisoner, and that their country has turned against them, and the only thing they can do is turn violent and become terrorists.

Oh, that's certainly worrying. But most of them are Meal Team Six types. They'll piss and moan about it online, and then find some other stupid thing to be outraged about. Without Trump being in the public eye urging them on, they won't be able to maintain their hate-boners.

I just pray that if Trump goes down, the justice department suddenly gets a little more feisty with certain "news" outlets.

Conservatives aren't the only ones armed. They're just louder. This liberal owns more guns, and is actually practiced with them, than any conservative I've met.

Not that "more guns" is any indicator of ability, but let's just say this liberal won't be caught with his dick in his hand.

Can't wait to see the news articles about drones smuggling bronzer into his prison.

There was 2.1% difference in popular vote, so still close to 50% of voters who supported him, that's demoralizing and depressing.

[-] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well, only about two thirds of registered voters turn out. That statistic, minus everyone who couldn't vote (those under 18, people not registered, resident aliens who haven't gotten their citizenship yet, the massive number of our citizens who are incarcerated along with all the convicted felons who finished serving their time, etc) and it's like only 23% of the country wanted him as president... same coin different side only slightly more than 23% wanted someone else.

I mean, when Thomas Paine wrote "What if the British colonies declared independence haha" it was supposed to be a trolly 4chan post, like NO WAY they were actually gonna beat the World's greatest military force in the 18th century ... unless?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
