      SCOTUS already effectively made him a king. The notion that we’ve got only four years of drama is incredibly optimistic.

        I’m hoping he just keels over by then, he can’t be long for this world at his age and at his health.

          Then we get who knows how many years of slightly less dramatic but significantly worse christo-fascist Vance. The US is fucked and it’s going to take a big chunk of the world with it.

            Vance lacks the cult of personality, though. With Trump out of the picture, his former loyalists will scramble and turn on one another to fill the power vacuum.

            Guess what‽ It no longer matters what Kamala would have done, she lost the election. Trump has promised to help Israel wipe Gaza off the map to end the war. Since you find his fascist antics entertaining, you’re in for that treat.

            Also, how much time do you save by not typing out “your”?

                Nice one, are you actually 12?

                Our choices were status quo (sending bombs and finger wagging) or fascism (turning Gaza to glass and bulldozing it so that Israel can complete their genocide and take the land for themselves). The country chose fascism. If you’re saying Trump is better in this regard, then you need to work on your critical thinking skills.

                    You can’t even spell hypocrite, so I don’t believe you know what that word means.

                    And no, Trump has frequently said that he’ll actively help end the war in Gaza (but not through peace). He is going to help wipe them off of the map. It’s not just “no finger wagging”. It’s scorched earth, and for some reason you find that “entertaining”.

                    While it’s true they both sucked in this regard. Trump will definitely be a lot worse. So not voting dem for that reason is ridiculous.

                    And it’s far from the only thing this election was about.

                the whole “fascism is ok as long as it affects me none” is so goddamn tiring.

                i really hope you never have to experience it, but people like you really do not learn any other way it seems.

                • The world is an awfull place with bad people doing bad things and good people dying unnessasarilly. U see the way i see the world all people are equal and thus all lives are equal and thus all deaths are equal. Therefore it would logically follow that the thing causing the most death is the primary concern. As of present that would be the 1.8million people dying of the preventable disease tuberculosis every year.

                  The whole “slow painfull death by disease is ok as long as it affects me none” is so goddamn tiring.

                    my guy, your argument was “both sides bad”. when i pointed out how accepting fascism is really not the slippery slope we should be riding down, your counter argument is tuberculosis? where does that play in your original argument? did trump promise to solve the worlds tuberculosis problem and i somehow missed it?

                    yes obviously tuberculosis is bad, so are plethora of other preventable diseases; as is world hunger, lack of clean drinking water, shelter, etc.

                    trying to use my words against me would work if your argument made any sense, but at best it boils down to whataboutism, and at worst, smells of burnt toast.

                    get some help.

                    Find one person who supports tuberculosis. This is an insane argument and honestly complete nonsense.

                    There is 100% going to be more deaths under Trump. So by your own argument he is worse.
