God, there are so many better way to disparage this guy, and you chose body shaming an AI image? Is this really the best you can do?

The Electoral College was supposed to be one protection against that
Instead, it only enabled it!
The Netherlands. Amsterdam seems really nice.
I haven't noticed until you just now pointed it out. It feels so insidious.
Well, most of us don't actually get to vote. Technically we can, but if you don't live in one of 7 swing states your votes straight up doesn't matter. That's why we tend to have such low election. Turnouts, voter suppression is built into the system. Something none of us chose, because the system has been in place longer than any of us have been alive.
To make it worse or educational system has been slowly getting dismantled for generations. That makes huge swaths of our population a lot easier to manipulate. Again, something that has been going on for longer than any of us have been alive.
" Why don't you just protest, or riot?" You might ask. And we do, unfortunately America is fucking huge. This isn't like trying to organize a protest in most European countries. It's an enormous organizational challenge. And if you start succeeding at that organizational challenge, there's a decent chance you'll get disappeared by the CIA. It doesn't help that we have an incredibly militarized police force. It's just salivating at the idea of arresting or beating the shit out of protesters. Go back and look at videos of the George Floyd protests if you'd like some examples. Again, This is a ball that's been rolling longer than any of us have been alive.
Not to mention, I don't know if you remember this, but ever since elect Trump's first presidency there have been dozens upon dozens of Republicans who got caught attempting to rig elections. If you think that all just suddenly stopped the 2024 election, you're being willfully stupid.
And yeah, there are definitely Trump supporters here. And I agree: that minority of Americans absolutely deserve what's coming to them. But what about the rest of us? What about all the people who did vote against the fascist? All of the people risking life and limb to protest? All the children who unlucky enough to get born here? All the queer people, AFAB people, and POC getting our rights stripped from us? Do we deserve this collective punishment just because a bunch of hateful dipshits want us to suffer?
You're using the same line of reasoning that ends in Palestinian toddlers labeled as "Hamas terrorists"
I can tell you're a good, empathetic person from how you blame victims for their own suffering. Keep up the good fight, comrade! /S
Yeah. He better be careful. He might get slammed next!
I mean, there's plenty of that out there, if that's what you want.
Every time I see the phrase "raises alarms" nowadays, I just picture someone tossing a claxon onto the top of an enormous pile of claxons.
clearly, slavery is actually freedom.
And anyone who disagrees with this is literally 1984 - Also Jordan Peterson probably
Yeah, it attracts people who feel powerless in their own life, so they're desperate for any amount of power they can hold over someone else.
For real, it's all because I got that crazy fuckin banana joker. I'd have been cooked without it.

I'm not criticizing you for sinking to their level or anything like that. I'm just kinda baffled. Like there's so much low hanging fruit, and you're just gnawing on rocks at the base of the tree.
But yeah, you show 'em, champ.
