And if you were one of the ones fleeced by this blithering idiot, do the world a favor and SHUSH your non-discerning mouth!

American people?

I think the step prior to this - swift and immediate legal action following the coup - was also a major component of the coffin.

With eyes wide open.

You can rationalize it all you want but the Democratic Party lost to a game-show-host-rapist, TWICE! Without Covid Biden doesn’t win in 2020. The Democratic Party would rather enable fascism than give an inch to socialism.

This is true.

White supremacy is a helluva drug.

They were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they might be able to refills once he leaves office. He only ran to stay out of jail, and to enrich himself and his family.

A huge reason Trump was elected, is you never held the Dems accountable. You just parrot their talking points pretending everything is fine at all costs. That cost was another Trump term. You know this, but youll never admit it.

Not “probably,” it was absolutely the most ignorant, foolish and self destructive…we shot ourselves in the foot and can’t figure out why we are in pain and bleeding out

More gullible than dumb. It was the most successful billionaire propaganda campaign of all time. More successful than convincing Americans Oxycontin wasn't addicting, that tobacco made you cool, that healthcare is woke and fast food doesn't make you fat. Control the media and you control the mind.

Just 👀 a meme (maybe even yesterday?) showing Jim Jones leader of the People’s Temple who led his cultists to their deaths w/ poisoned Kool-Aid and a KJI (Kim Jung Un ‘s father) looking - Donald, huckster-in-chief who without a doubt would charge$ (probably include a gold🔱 emblazoned pitcher)

Yes he would !

January 6th was a *failed political coup*, but a *successful epistemic coup.* The Insurrectionists lost the battle but won the war. They control the culture, all the mainstream platforms, and the future A.I. assisted narrative your children and grandchildren will learn moving forward.

It also indicates the complete lack of critical thinking skills of many voters. It’s not just a US problem. It’s an issue of not teaching political systems, problem-solving and other fundamental life skills to kids and teenagers in their formative years. Society reaps what it sows.

The election was the embodiment of the largest display of emotional immaturity ever, combined with the largest education failure ever. Both factors are still providing guidance today.

But musk rigged it

Ever!

It's a society so dumb that it falls for all the lies posted in their Facebook feed. A lack of a critical thinking and an abundance of indoctrination got Trump elected. The manipulation of facts and the outright lies were allowed to seep into soft brains. This was a psyop that succeeded.

We have a righteous anger, and they suffer at their own hand! 🤷‍♀️

Greedy and/or gullible fcks!

Indeed it was. Besides inflation, wokeness, the darkest of money, and corrupt media... I wonder how much of it was racism and misogyny.

Still not entirely sure he won the vote but since we treated that investigation just like the Epstein files I guess we will never know

I agree in that one. DNC insistence on loyalty to Biden at all costs to prevent a primary is what ultimately cost the election. It was a change election, the people wanted change, even if it was to go back to the "other guy".

Oh how I love an American who can be real. Thank you for that honest analysis. It’s rare.

It's collective recklessness. robertreich.substack.com/p/where-the-...

Right on! The first democracy becomes a sad joke A different President and AG in 21’ would turn out ?

He won a plurality, not a majority. He got 4M votes fewer than Biden in 2020. A South African billionaire bought him votes illegally & gave $250M to campaign. Musk also made an in-kind contribution of hundreds of millions by wrecking Twitter. He ran on lies. He has never beat a man in a general.

Reminded me of Howard Dean in the 2004 elections. His cracking laugh after the Iowa Caucus did him in, right?

I can’t believe every single swing state.

Assuming it wasn't rigged...

The decent half of America can still do something.

Well, when you have an ignorant (both willfully & woefully) electorate with a sole source of biased information, what else can you expect?

Probably!?

💯

NEVER FORGET J6. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 x.com/KJNO816/stat...

What you thought was America never was and even that is in the rear view mirror.

Brainwashed by the propaganda of medianetworks owned by billionaires. If people hear their entire life the same nonsense, a lot of them will believe it. Same with so many Americans always thinking and saying their country is the 'greatest'. No country is the greatest: just different.

Admittedly, that’s a big challenge here but even still, something feels off. There hasn’t b en the type of scrutiny in 16 and 24 like there’s been for 20. Until there is there will be doubts

Most definitely

And here we are…

It makes you wonder if the USA we thought we had ever really existed, and if so, if it even deserves to be saved.

I blame Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and the rest of those cowards who allowed this 🍊 🐒 to get to where he is. It’s all on the f ing Republican Party.

Covering up for a doddering Biden turned out to be quite the strategic blunder.

The Trump years are one long stupid mass psychosis.

The media lied every step of the way, tech overlords waged a misinformation war, and the "opposition" took every possible opportunity to cede moral and political ground. The actual vote was just the inevitable result of all that.

We did this to ourselves because America will not elect a woman to the presidency, and most certainly not a Black woman.

Republicans could have all stood against Trump and cast him out of the party, so I would argue it was also one of the greatest examples of political corruption and opportunism in history.

Fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.

In history, only Hitler and terrorists have done it, but it's probably not trendy enough for them or I don't know, what is their problem.

Or perhaps he didn't really win...

Did we elect him or were we social engineered by musk and those voting machines he’s so good with

I am unwilling to give up hope that this can be turned around! WE THE PEOPLE!

Yeeeeup. Look your system is rigged against smart choices prevailing, but it took a collective stupid effort to choose the LITERAL convicted felon who had already fucked it up the first time round.

Voters have a duty to be pragmatic-and to start running for office. Local offices first. We never get the perfect candidate. None of us is perfect. But demanding 100 percent alignment or being single issue before agreeing to vote means you’ve already lost.

Yep, lemmings diving off a cliff

Coffins aren't nailed unless there's a dead body inside. I refuse to concede that our democracy is dead. Seriously threatened, "Yes." Dead? "No!"

Pretty sad to see that so many Americans were willing to discount the events that happened on 01/06 and bought into all of Trump’s lies. While he was claiming Biden stole the election from him, he wanted his VP Mike Pence to do that exact same thing for him by not certifying electoral college votes.

Well ok yes we should make a Biden/garland equally responsible.

No Biden. He could have ordered it.

It wasn’t Biden. It was the then Attorney General. Biden stayed out of these things. He didn’t tell the CIA, FBI, Congress or SCOTUS what to do, either.

We have no choice but to fix it in 2026 and 2028 by getting all the enablers out.

Unfortunately, the majority of eligible voters DID NOT VOTE, so let's make sure that never happens again. When we vote, we win.

I'll never forgive the people who voted for this administration.

But trannies were taking over girls' sports and bathrooms. Immigrants were eating our pets and the local geese at the lake. It was all a disaster. I know, because Fox told me it was, over and over again.

We did Brexit, you did Trump (TWICE!! 😳🤦🏻‍♂️) - both countries have inflicted harm on themselves deliberately, knowing full well that’s exactly what would happen….

Agreed >>>+

I will never understand how that alone wasn't a deal breaker for so many Americans. The cult were the ones who did it, so I understand why they didn't let go, but the Biden voters who went "sure let's put HIM back in charge!" are completely lost in every way.

Even dumber than Brexit which was incredibly self defeating for Brits.

Others also includes social media (FB and X in particular). They fuel outrage and lies to keep people engaged in their platforms. I stopped corporate news, cable, and many news outlets. Now I read foreign news and watch YouTube independent media.

WHITE America. The fact that no one will acknowledge the moral rot and that White America is the problem IS the problem.

They voted to abolish democracy, the rule of law, and the international order that has kept the peace for 80 years. They voted to enslave themselves to corporations and the billionaires who own them. They also voted to empower Russia and destroy Ukraine.

Most of the mainstream media went along with Trump rewriting history into some sort of economic utopia before covid & then giving him an * for 2020 due to covid, even though his fucked up covid prep & response made it far, far worse.

DO NOT PAY YOUR TAXES! TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! MONEY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEIR ATTENTION

You can also blame the social media cyberwar no one stopped either. Corrupt Social media is destroying ppl and the world.

The DNC running a candidate who no one nominated, one of the most unpopular VPs of modern times, who's strategy was courting "moderate Republicans" & telling struggling workers the economy was great while supporting genocide was political malpractice. Blame them. 🤷

Another profile in fraud

He used musk to cheat. He didn’t win

True but you gotta give the German people and Hitler at least a tip of the hat.

100% agree. i pray for the poor

1/6 was forgotten when he decided to exploit racism within the minorities with ‘they’re taking your jobs’, his voter growth was with minorities who said it was about eggs but it was deportations, the takeover of their neighborhoods by outsiders

Agree. But we should also question the legitimacy of the previous election given Trump’s ties to Musk. There is no low for that monstrous orange felon.

🎯

Truer words...

We (as in the American voters) did this to ourselves, on purpose.

"Egg prices!" was just an excuse to vote for someone who hated the same people they did.

Aside from that pesky little detail that it was NOT won fairly...

Agree. I fear we are watching our country slip away due to authoritarian behavior. Dems are watching. Yesterday it was Venezuela without congressional approval; tomorrow it may be Greenland, then Cuba. History has shown us where this leads. Doesn’t this sound eerily similar to Hitler?

If he actually won. Some election results are resembling Russian elections.

Tied with the Brexit vote.

And for some reason democrats decided we weren’t going to have primaries for a stop gap 80 year old president. And then gave the nomination to a woman (I like Kamala. But terrible idea at the time) that ran on small business tax credits (which I also liked) You just had to run on Democracy!!!!!

from my perspective in America right now the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

It was inevitable given the media and political environment that was engineered. It took decades of hard work by right wing media and billionaires to get to this point, but this was always their goal.
