Earlier today my wife sent me a link to an article about the Trump/Elon drama and compared it to our teenager's high school bullshit level feuds.
Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

You voted in a pair of drama degenerates and now you try to build some sexist agenda upon the bullshit those degenerates do.
Are you sure that you don't deserve Trump as a president?
You are exactly the kind of person this post is making fun of and you dont even realize it.
Edit: Joined a day ago...hopefully you're one of the lemmy.ee migrators.
Who voted for Elon? I don't think anyone did. :)
Anyone that didn't think they were voting for Elon whilst voting for Trump didn't attempt to understand the bare minimum about the vote they made.
Elon was on the same stage as trump for months leading up to the election—it was crystal clear he would be part of the package
See, I didn't vote for trump either and also, they cheated. Trump said he was going to cheat and Elon is now saying they cheated. I believe them.

To be fair, I feel like almost everyone I’ve ever met would be too emotional to be president.
We failed pretty horrifically at screening the bullshit out though. Like, god damn.
The greatest illusion of humanity is that reason is a default state.
We are hormonal meat beasts that require decades to tame to any productive end and even still we are all literally one phone call away from losing our shit completely.
There’s no way I can handle a phone call of any kind. Honestly even a mildly annoying Teams message would probably be enough to send me off the deep end.
Yeah this is why facts and evidence aren't that persuasive. We're all emotional first. All of us

Eh, Patil of India was allegedly pretty corrupt, using government money to build a retirement home among other things. Park Geun-Hye (S. Korea) was jailed for corruption. We’ve had corrupt female corporate heads in the US, like Elizabeth Holmes. I’m not trying to butwhatabout at all, just that people in power are susceptible to corruption and fuckery regardless of being a woman or man. Per-capita, women are probably better, they’ve often had to work harder than men to reach higher office and don’t want to give anyone more fuel to muckrake on them.
