No, trump is the fire. And everyone who normalises and excuses him are the dog.

And then they convince themselves it was their perseverence and gumption that resulted in all their success, which enables them to look down on anyone who isn’t successful, because clearly they just lack perseverence and gumption.

Not as stupid as the people who continue to support and vote for him.

When somebody says the 2A crowd I think it’s pretty unambiguous who they’re talking about, it’s certainly not anyone on the left.

I won’t be physically participating in any resistance because I left the US almost 10 years ago and I’m never going back. But if I can help remotely, even if it’s just adding to the chorus of voices begging Americans to wake the fuck up, then I will. What’s your excuse for being a keyboard warrior?

In a shocking turnaround that nobody could have predicted, the 2A crowd are the tyrants! 🤯

Can you believe, my poor dumb friend doesn’t even know what’s up with all the moth/silence of the lambs posts? 🤣

Just for fun, how would you explain it to them? 🤔

A public bitchfight between the two least credible dipshits in the world? I’m here for it!

Yup. All these reports acting like musk stepping away means the crisis is over but the damage is already done. Could take years or decades to figure out what he’s done while he had unrestricted access to all those systems, and what’s still in his possession and what access he still has now.

That’s a bit unfair. trump is the world’s worst enemy.

Trump realising that doge was trump-level bullshit is my favourite leopards eating faces story ever.

Never really thought about it this way, but my wife’s little piggies do have a lot of personality!

Pffft, details shmetails. If it’s got socialism in the name it’s the devil. I don’t wanna risk any of my tax dollars going to help me or - heaven forbid, my neighbor - when it could be used to push a hard working billionaire’s pile that much closer to trickling down! I can almost feel that golden shower already!

You mean decent, hardworking capitalist Americans are subsidising a socialist hellscape??? 😯

I moved to the states in 2005, got married, had 2 daughters. Moved us all back to my home country in 2015. I often wondered if it was the right decision and what life would have been like if we’d stayed. I haven’t wondered even once since November last year.

Unfortunately, being able to just leave the country is a luxury that few people have.

But Biden’s mental state though!

100%. I’m an Australian, married to an American. Moved her here to Australia in 2015 and now she says she’ll never set foot in that country again, not even to visit her own family. Too much uncertainty that trump will throw a tantrum and she’ll get stuck there somehow.

Still are in Australia. It was very confusing to my American wife for quite a while.

I’d love to see him spiral during a blunder-filled campaign. I’ll love to see all the byproducts, like an Eric scandal manufactured to make Jr look better by comparison. I want the quicksand of their fickle, mob of an electorate to engulf this family>

Isn’t this what we were all thinking in 2016?

Whoa, trump violated a law??? We’ve got him now!

It’s pretty intuitive from the saying. It’s the carrot OR the stick, not the carrot ON the stick. The carrot is the reward for doing the thing, the stick is the punishment for not doing it. Just google it.
