He's already dehumanising foreigners (claiming they're all criminals and eating peoples pets) and trying to claim LGBTI are criminals
So, it's not actually a joke. He has already started following the Nazi playbook
We are removing "gaslighting" from our active vocabulary for a day or two, aren't we?
Uniparty-L-tards still repeating the same retarded analogies.. and talking points.. and faux-intellecualism they learned from the "rational wiki" and co.
Wishful-thinking Harris into becoming a landslide winner failed. How surprising. How surprising.
Will they ever learn? Doubtful.
The audacity and shamelessness of some to even mention Palestine is on a whole other level though. Like only now things will get seriously bad! Like Gaza hasn't been flattened multiple times over already. Like America itself under the uniparty rule isn't the most recent/current number 1 committer of genocides around the world. Like the uniparty-L-tards haven't put some of the faces of previous war crimes at the front of their fake-it-til-you-make-it campaign.
I guess if Madeleine "500,000 dead Iraqi children is worth it" Albright can be a part of the "woke" twitter echo chamber for years, then anything goes.
I just cannot get over the fact that if every man o. The country dropped dead the world be a better place.
The dem message of "we won't do better but the other guy will do worse" failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn't motivating enough
Right, it wasn't the media harping on every single thing the Dem candidate did wrong while apologizing and making excuses for Trump at every turn. Going on and on about Biden's age and then never bringing up age again once Biden dropped out of the race. No it's all the Dems fault 🙄
Did you watch the first debate where Biden could hardly speak a sentence? They were right about Biden's age. And they knew that Trump voters would never listen to them so what's the point of going after him over and over?
At the end of the day the blame falls mostly on the campaign and on the party and they failed. They have to do better than this or they'll fail again.
They haven't done that... Yet. As FD Signifier said, "you can't out-right the right". Democrats screwed themselves in many ways this election such as letting Biden hang onto his candidacy when he was unpopular and not communicating their plans to the public as much as they should have, and because of how fresh it is everyone is looking for someone, or some group, to blame. At the risk of defending Harris, which I'm not because I didn't like a lot of what she said, she really only had 100 days to actually put together a campaign. Trump has been campaigning since he left office.The truth is that this has been a long time coming and the American failure to recognize that is was ACTUALLY led to this. Well, that and the fact that Harris was a black woman. Racism and misogyny hard carried this election term in addition to the unpopular policies Harris proposed. As unpopular as those policies were though, the number don't show that the policies are what lost her the election.
I also blame this on left leaning influencers AND news sites because they spent more time making fun of Trump than actually saying anything to convince the right to vote for Harris. Again, I'm not even saying that I agreed with Harris, but she would have been better for a LOT of minority people than we know Trump is. Laughing at Trump working a closed down McDonald's is one thing, but they didn't do much else. This is the reason I'm kind of done with the online left in general. The spend so much time making fun of people that they don't realize we need people on the left to be in positions of power before things can change in a meaningful way. The liberal media got cocky and so they contributed to Trump winning. They never brought up that he was a felon, a rapist, or attempted a coup. Nothing.
The dems lost this election when unpopular senile Biden insisted on running again and no powerful Democrat stopped him
That was never the democrat's message.
What you are describing is the disinformation that you fell for.
Harris's nomination acceptance speech was around 70% right wing positions. Undeniable.
I watched multiple speeches given by kamala and I watched the debate. This is the message I came away with and judging by the outcome of the election Im thinking that's the message most people got. Intention is irrelevant perception is what matters and they failed
Except Harris did mention Trump's age a few times (after the first debate). If you didn't see it, you only looked at the disinformation channels, or it got drowned out by them.
Well no dems voted for Trump, and his voters don't care about his age because it's a cult of personality
