You mean the kind that think he is pathetic and want to assassinate him?
At this point, I'm starting to think it was Obama that was the aberration.
people? Trump won the popular vote. Most voters wanted him
America is a fascist country already. The fascist plurality turned out in droves to support a guy who was saying what they believed.
Liberals watched this groundswell of fascist support begin to crest and turned to Dick fucking Cheney to bail them out. And then when they lost, 76M to 73M, in a contest of New Fascism versus Fascism Classic, their response was to... blame Muslims, Latinos, and Trans People.
Conservatives, meanwhile, decided to use their big electoral win to checks notes normalize pedophilia.
Fucking hell, this country sucks.
He had less than 50% of votes. Saying "most voters wanted him" is demonstrably incorrect.

Donald Trump
76,856,362 votes (49.9%)
Kamala Harris
74,320,684 votes (48.3%)
Most voters wanted him.
This is not an endorsement of trump, rather, a condemnation of the US voting public.
if you want to have an argument about the definition of pluralaity and majority or whatever, I suggest
And that's what he said when he was president last time.
This time?
Using the military to put undocumented migrants in concentration camps. Not even trying to hide that fact.
Using the military to put ~~undocumented migrants~~ anyone who looks "funny" in concentration camps.
You are correct. If you're a citizen and a cop decides you're one of "them," good luck convincing them your ID is genuine. If you're carrying it on you.
If you’re a citizen and a cop decides you’re one of “them,”
Okay, but if we say bad things about the police then we'll lose the election.
We need to politely ask our Brave Boys In Blue to be more Woke, when they're firing into a crowded subway station at a fare evader. And if that doesn't work, we need to stop being so Woke ourselves. Maybe doming a bystander and clipping another cop in the process of securing a $2.90 train fare is just the price of our freedom.
"Papers, please."
I've told my visibly brown partner that he has to have his passport on him at all times because that's where we are, now. I'm hoping it will be enough.
I hope so for both of your sakes because it just takes one racist power tripping cop.
Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.
I just don't understand people. My partner's brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I'm hoping we don't have to rely on him for anything but I'm also weirdly grateful that he's my partner's brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.
Yes, that's me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn't as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.
And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don't get it. He hasn't been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don't get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump's.
The only thing I can figure out is they're extremely low-information voters whose thought process was something like "prices high, Biden's fault, Trump not Democrat, vote for him."
Ah yes, the famous gas and grocery price levers in the Oval Office that Biden keeps leaning on.
Yes. Americans being really really fucking stupid is why we're about to go full fascist.
Good luck on the job interview!
Thanks! It's not a job I'm dying for, so I'm thinking of it more as practice, but I will take anything if it means we can get over there in January and afford basic things like a home and food.
And every time you have to show your documents to law enforcement, maybe this is the time you don't get them back.
Fourth panel should be a duplicate of the first panel, except saying "Trump will establish a fascist dictatorship, and that's what I wanted!"
Yeah. I don't care how many posts I see saying trump voters are regretting their vote. I feel like that is a level of media bias to make those who voted against him feel a bit better. I'd be shocked if even 5% regretted their vote. Maybe in 18 months, just before midterms, things will be different. I think it is more likely that the real problems won't start until after the midterms though.
Edit: some words
Same shit happened with Brexit. A blizzard of news stories about how Brits were too stupid to know what they were voting for and everyone regretted their decisions. Then Brexit loving conservatives won the next election in a landslide.
By 2026, there will have been US military deployed in the states for a long time, and everyone will have been sufficiently terrorized by arrests and detentions. Then it'll be "another stolen election, we have to postpone the midterms, because even the US military can't stop the steal."
Prepare to !Resist@fedia.io
that statement is kind of funny because hitler's generals eventually tried to kill him lmao
hitler got the last laugh in the end, they didn't get to kill him.
Arent his statements always kind of funny/weird?
Great comic, wrong community.
I mean we said that and they didnt react like that
The most unbelievable part of this is the magat having a crisis after learning (somehow, always for the first time) about Trump's Hitler-worship. Since it hasn't directly affected the magat yet, no way he's going to have the self awareness to freak out.
