Political Memes

At least he won the popular vote, so it's well and truly want the majority (who cared to vote) wanted this time. It would be much more frustrating if he lost the popular vote like in 2016, where the minority in votes had control of house, senate and executive branches. This time it's what people wanted, and people somehow voted for fascism instead of the status quo.

A key takeaway for me is that when people of color and those in inner cities turn to violence, crime, and drugs, we blame the oppressive system for their failings. When people in rural America do the same, we blame them. Just because someone is white doesn’t mean they don’t need sympathy and compassion. We’ve lost the thread of love and acceptance in this country.

That was helpful, thanks.

Considering they are now completely irrelevant and about to be wiped from government all together, sure.

It's this. America cannot fathom that a well qualified Black woman could be better than the most basic of white men.

Could you imagine if SHE had sucked off a mic? People already didn't vote for her because they thought she slept her way to get where she is.

Sure, and this is why Trump won. The backlash vote against this ignorant rhetoric.

I'm hearing trump didn't add any supporters. This whole thing was a failure in turnout. I won't say America isn't deeply sexist because I'm not stupid. I will say that voting just to have a women be president, no, that was not enough and it wasn't enough in 2016 either.

I fully believe there will never again be another legitimate election in the US. Except, I want to be devil advocate and say Trump can't pull it off. I know that's not true so I have to kinda decide if I want to larp it.

Socdem party? When have we ever had one?

I dont understand that sentiment... i mean yes, i agree the parties should absolutely do more and listen to their voters... but the fact of the matter you have to play the game because the alternative is worst. You think noone listens to you now? What makes you think letting the opposition win will do for you? It will only make your life worse.

Do you think the governments in 1930's europe appeared out of thin air? No, they were elected until they held enoigh power to consume total power. Literally tens of millions of people suffered all over the world because people became complacent.

Dont ever give up hope vote for the lesser evil and push for more grass roots movements so the lesser evil will become the even lesser. If you dont, you may never have that freedom again.

Pretty spot on from my perspective. I did vote but it was more because there we're two proposals on the ballot that I did care about. If not for those I would have probably skipped voting. I'm just exhausted at this point because my life has continued to worsen as long as I've been an adult and everyone's fixated on LGBT and other shit that doesn't even affect me or most of the other people that feel the need to have an opinion on it. We can just let people live their lives... What about housing, healthcare, wages, and all the other basic quality of life shit that helps everyone?

On top of that my vote for president didn't matter anyway because the district I'm in would always go red and for most of the local positions there aren't even democrat or even 3rd party options.

Agreed. In the 2016 election I checked myself out of the hospital against my doctor's advice, donned a mask, and coughed my way through the voting line with pneumonia. There's no excuse, especially with how easy it is to absentee vote nowadays.

It's really just a great unmasking. This is the america I grew up in. Now it just goes uncensored.
