Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!

  Don’t disagree and I honestly hope all of their promises come true this time. Americans will never learn unless they suffer.

      Trump isn’t even 10% as competent as Leto Altreides II.

    As an American, you’re right. I guess Trump won’t see consequences, but maybe the country will. And MAYBE voters / non voters will learn something.

      The problem is the consequences are not immediate. This is like making a child sit in their room because they scribbled on the wall in crayon last week. They don’t have the capacity to make that connection.

      If renewed inflation takes another four years to really build up, guess whose fault that becomes? If the climate gets worse over years, decades, generations, no blame here. If Russia invades the Baltic states after consolidating Ukraine, it couldn’t be due to appeasement here. If they succeed in replacing the merit-based civil service with partisan hacks whose only skill is “loyalty”, clearly it’s the swamp that needs to be drained.

      I guess Trump won’t see consequences,

      Probably not given his age, diet, and general level of fitness.

      And even if he does live that long, I doubt he will remember it given his clearly declining mental health.

  I feel kinda sad for them.

    You should. Our country was just flushed down the drain by 37% of the population who are all a bunch of dumbfuck morons.

    Feel bad for the rest of the world who still rely on the unreliable American voters.

      Eh. Russia doesn’t rely on American voters. We know Putin will draw 80% votes with 80% turnover.
