  1. > No one in this country has done more to sow division, create chaos, and, yes, encourage violence over the past decade than Trump. It was only a matter of time before that boomeranged on him.

    You reap what you sow.

    I was discussing with a friend earlier that if Hitler had taken his sweet time in going after enemies and undesirables and had there been no war, the German population would have been fed up with 4-8 years in. I sense we’re in that zone.

  3. Trump in a nutshell:

    Endorsements don’t make a difference… unless it’s for me.

    The polls are fake… unless I am ahead.

    The election is rigged… unless I win.

    The news is fake… unless it’s flattering.

    Everything’s a hoax… unless I tweet it.

    Nepotism is bad… unless it’s my family.

    I’m rich… but you can’t see my taxes.

    I’m smart… but you can’t see my grades.

    I’m a patriot… but I dodged the draft.

    I’m successful… but my businesses fail.

    My staff is the best… until I fire them.

    I’m innocent… but the prosecutors and courts are corrupt, unless they support me.

  4. Trump is the guy that gets drunk first at the party and gets everyone loosened up but he keeps drinking until everyone else wants him to leave.

  5. Maga is a cult of crass, rude, loud and now mostly white men. .jd vance is their mouthpiece. This is like jerry springer. So fucking absurd.

    Trump is so lazy in everything except running his mouth. Everyday he makes himself less useful to Republicans. Well he is kinda nuts. The next few months are likely to be the chaos of maga exploding. I hope we can minimize the violence.

    VOTE!

    I think the most telling thing is going to the conservative subs. 8 years ago /r/the_donald was hitting Reddit front page and every post was them celebrating and posting pro-Trump memes. That stuff is nowhere now. It’s all just negative anti-Dem, anti-immigrant propaganda. Finding a positive Trump post is difficult. A post even mentioning JD Vance is extremely rare.

  7. I just pray that he gets jail time and then fleas to Russia. Despite the obvious, repubs would deny all previous accusations and evidence of him being a Russian agent. Ignorance is bliss.

  8. I still can’t get past the Haitian immigrant thing. 52% of Republicans either strongly or probably believe that Haitian immigrants are eating pets, which means the other 48% of Republicans are okay with people believing that.

    Engulf him whatever fuck you if you’re Republican eat a dick

  9. GOP was bring it long before Trump, he definitely has been throwing gasoline on it since their voter base will re-elect the swamp over and over.

  10. There’s an old saying, something to the effect if you live by the pointed finger you die by the pointed finger.
