On one hand he voted exactly for this.
On the other hand, he is a worker that was systematically exploited to be less educated about political affairs and then exploited further by having his work taken from him.
This is the right take here. I'm sure without all the propaganda far less people would support Trump.
It doesn't take much education to know what a lying, fascist sack of shit Trump is.
With cleverer, more sneaky politicians, I might pity the man who didn't know. Not with this one. All the morons who voted for Trump knew exactly what they were doing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. These people are both stupid and so propagandized so as to be effectively cult members, nothing will change until the propaganda sources are annihilated and their economic backers hanged, butchered, and burned to ash.
I'm always torn between accusing people of willful delusion, and sympathy for the difficulty of breaking out of a cult you're culturally incentivized towards. I genuinely think that if the 'Left' had the funding the 'Right' does, this wouldn't even be a contest. But one side is playing with a crazy big handicap, and we know from history exactly the kinda of culture that leads to. Discourage critical thinking, and you will find yourself with less and less critical thinkers around you.
It's shitty that people relish in the suffering of another but it only takes a room temp IQ to have realized Trump was a con man in 2016. It took even less intelligence to realize Trump was unfit to lead in 2020. Voting for him post Jan 6th? You're a fucking traitor.
This needs to be on every billboard around the country.
On the one hand, he's a fascist. On the other hand, HE'S A FASCIST.
Well on the one hand, he IS a fascist, but on the other hand, he's ALSO a pedophile!
He's still a shitty person because he likely voted for the horrible things Trump would do.
