"clean water"? So we'll refer to it as "water not full of shit"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

lol, I’m at the point that I just can’t understand my fellow MAGA human who would think clean water is a bad thing anymore.

I just can’t even stoop to the level of holding a serious conversation with them anymore at all.

If nothing else, their sheer inability to understand reality would make it much easier to put Dogey America to sleep. Animals use language, however primitive, to warn of danger. Trumpkins fundamentally fails at this, and will start to die in record numbers when they eat RFK Burgers with rat diarrhea as the sauce.

Not even sure if I am kidding there. They are tearing down the institutions that protect everyone from everything.

Let's replace them with "dirty water" "polluting plastics" and "preferred discrimination".

At this point we already know they have "frontotemporal dementia," so my question is at what point do we bar them from government positions because of known brain damage?

Maybe they already read the article, and that's why they hate science, knowledge and free speach so much? I think it goes way deeper then that though.

Hopefully if we come out of this alive we'll come together and finally do something about the things we already know, and I'm not talking final solution, I'm talking about banning people with known brain damage from office, then helping them with their known problems and possibly allowing them government positions again once recovered from this nazi disease.

Just putting this out there because these numbers give me hope that we still have a chance to move past this. Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons. still makes me hopeful though.

Number of U.S. population 2025 = 347,276,000

Number of votes for Trump = 77,284,118

Number of people who didn't vote for Trump = 269,991.882

This translates close to 22.2543793% of the U.S. population voted for Donald Trump.

This also translates close to 77.7456207% of the U.S. population didn't vote for Donald Trump.

I was the one who did the calculations... sooo maybe check my work, it's been a long time since I had to deal with percentages, I think it's correct though.

Good luck, and stay safe out there.

If you want to work as a politician it should be required to take psychological evaluations. If you have narcissistic or psychopathic tendencies, you should be barred from that. I have no problems both a rule like that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

While your point is valid in that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump, you’re being slightly disingenuous here. Ok maybe that’s the wrong word since I don’t believe it’s malicious. But in my opinion the number of eligible voters, not the total number of US Residents is really what you should be comparing. And that number is more like 244,600,000. So while the number is still very high, it’s more like 68.4% didn’t vote for him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I agree, those numbers are the complete population, (not only eligible voters) that's why I added the statement "Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons."

In my lifetime I haven't known many people that would be considered left leaning that vote, yet I'm pretty sure everyone I've known who are conservative vote every chance they get.

I should also point out that my view comes from someone who only ever lived in vary conservative areas in the south. Hopefully this election will finally get the left out to vote more.

Plus ineligible and disenfranchised voters still have a voice and they still matter, hopefully many of them will use their voice as protests are dramatically on the rise now that people are starting to take a financial hit.

So with my experience (which is subjective) the voting numbers definitely don't represent the whole story because so many people don't vote and many more can't vote, so that is why the raw numbers give me some hope.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Also only ever lived in the Bible Belt although at least near more liberal universities. And you’re right, just because they can’t vote, doesn’t mean they aren’t affected.

And boy do I hope you’re right that this causes people to wake up.

I'm so glad that most imported products in my country are no longer made in the USA. I'm not even a strong believer in the effectiveness of consumer boycotts, this is just a health consideration at this point.

The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we're all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy... We're going to need a general strike.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Start tomorrow? They’ve been every damn day for months now. Tomorrow is a big one.

What's interesting is that other then three minor places reporting in this. Not even a comment from the democratic party. Nothing in major news publications. Nothing on CNN that I can find. Nothing on AP or NPR. I'm questioning if this is even real.
