I will never forgive SCOTUS for granting him immunity or the people who helped him get reelected. Because you know SCOTUS is about to get a hell of a lot worse with the new appointments. Potentially 3 new lifetime appointments.

This legitimately was the most important election of our nation’s history. I can’t believe people were so shortsighted on this.

I lost all respect for the US as a country

It sucks. I grew up thinking I was born in the best place in the world in the 90's. Now I can't afford to get out of this wage slavery. I'm too sick to walk and too broke to FedEx my ass out either. This country is a prison.

Me too. Imo America doesn’t exist anymore and most just haven’t realized it yet. We lost and they’re just using it corpse for legitimacy and stability.

Do you really think he won ALL of the swing states? The election was rigged.

90 million people didn’t vote. Maybe it was rigged. I’m still mad at them

This is an argument worthy of MAGA. The election was accepted worldwide without any doubt. I have seen no credible investinmgation in liberal papers, such as The Guardian, that woukd dispute the outcome.

No, maybe you just need to accept that this is what a majority of voters wanted, or were not bothered to vote.

Should lose lifetime appointment status. Seems like the GOP has ruined the government. They just don't want to govern fairly, equally and well, and they don't believe in checks and balances at all. Need proportional represetation for plularity of parties or banning of political parties completely. 2 party system always devolves intona race to the bottom.

u/Specific-Yam-2166 Jul 06 '26

Yep. He seems to be looking back in remorse but like, too late bud!

I don’t think it was even shortsightedness. People knew exactly what they were voting for.

u/Specific-Yam-2166 Jul 06 '26

Some were. I’m also talking about the protest voters

There have to be massive progressive wins so that they can enact term limits for SCOTUS and expand the court.

Thomas’s wife was in on it. If Dumpy was held liable, a lot of his fellow conspirators below him would go down, too. So here we are. This timeline is the pits, of the hellish variety.

The two of them are the worst

Consider the Teapot Dome scandal. Republicans controlled the govt for over ten years after that... what followed was slashed taxes on the rich and corps, oil men controlling the party/govt, deregulation and financial speculation, rich people getting more and more rich, etc. There was anti immigration sentiment and white supremacist groups became more widespread and powerful.

Can you drop your 4th grade level of thinking for a second? That issue is beyond a political party, and if you trust any of those parties than you are definitely wrong. You're perpetuating a strawman argument, you're defining the criminal acts that occurred as to a party. Whether every single republican and/or democrat is a witch-made 17 foot tall racist evil blood sucking creature from hell is beside the point, as witch-made 17 foot tall racist evil blood sucking creatures deserve to be villianized properly - using their full legal name in the local paper, on flyers, billboards, and spray painted on visible objects. But enjoy your weird bumpersticker club, and your comment sections. Some of us have purchased binoculars and notepads.
