    Um, Trump also reported how he was going to start rounding up the undesirables, and something tells me this informed more Trump voters than egg prices.

    TBF, the Democratic Party is the neoliberal status quo party, and a lot of people aren’t having that. And the only alternative is King Heron / the far right party who starts genocide.

    Also TBF, the far right has a trillion-dollar propaganda machine working over time to control people’s minds, so we can expect a lot of people to vote for candidates who would campaign on letting them starve / hunting them down for execution / giving the whole US general fund to billionaires.

    We’re going to need a new system entirely to fix both of these problems. It’s going to be messy.

    I mean anyone who took the incoherent ramblings of Trump as anything of value at this point brought it on themselves.

      The saddest thing is, a lot of those who voted for Trump did think his incoherent ramblings were harmless. How many people went shocked Pikachu face when they learned Trump actually put in tariffs? Or that heard his “dictator for a day” comments and brushed it off?

      Somehow, a lot of people 1) heard Trump’s ramblings, 2) assumed he was lying, and 3) they still voted for him, even while believing he was full of shit.

        I know it’s probably not you. But I don’t understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn’t add up, because I don’t think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.

          You’re absolutely right. How anyone can accept he’s a liar and still believe him is baffling to me, as well.

          I’m just glad I picked this username.

    Don’t worry, WW3 has been brewing for a while now. And so has a civil war in the U.S.

    Hes just trying to speedrun the ending. So we can pick up the pieces and get back to normal. Honestly, its a big brain move by a very stable genius if you ask me.

    All he wants is for the U.S. to be great again.

      In fairness, the real problem is that they maintained that everything is fine, actually the economy is fine from my numbers, now everyone remember not to vote for the insurrectionist felon we did nothing about for 4 years

      They could not be more half assed and milquetoast. They were so busy trying not to make any enemies that they totally failed to meet the moment

    Still waiting for the $5000 promised to me in February so I can invest it all in crypto and be a billionaire by the summer, any day now…

      Any war that involves NATO (proxy wars included, ofc) could possibly escalate into WW3 nowadays because regional powers have gained greater power to fight back. Maybe that’s why the fears today are a bit more warranted? Idk.

    It ain’t WWIII, authoritarian regimes have a limited shelf life and Iran and Russia are past their expiration dates.

    People keep claiming WW3 is just around the corner so much that it’s lost all meaning. I’m really sick of seeing this claim.
