    I think the people who are now upset Trump is doing all the things he said he was going to do on the campaign trail deserve some blame.

    Seeing people act all surprised they're so naive lmao

    You guys (as in, people who voted in US) all knew beforehand what he wanted. And that he's crazy enough to do whatever he wants

    Why do people on the right always post the worst memes? Are they just not funny?

    You bring up a valid point, he is doing a lot of what he said he would do - although in a more chaotic way. Also he said he would lower prices not raise them.

    From an independents perspective (the ones who decide these elections) - we had 2 bad choices and chose the one we felt would be best for the country and the world.

    For example right now the world is safer because terrorists won’t be in control of nukes.

    Those assassination attempts probably didn’t help out the far left either, especially when they were going around preaching about democracy.

    Look at the bright side. At least we get to do WW3 this time instead of that stupid Covid stuff.

    Cant speak for everyone but as a moderate independent (we are about the issues not loyalty to any party) I use the term “FAR left” to describe the ones who have derailed our beloved Democratic Party (Left) from a reasonable moderate party trying to help the working and middle class - to the terrorists that they are today.

    Only terrorists would lose to DJT but rather than do better they can just say it was racism and continue on with their mission to destroy the world with the full “emotionally challenged” support of their brainless followers.

    Man…what? Lol

    I hate ideological labels because most people aren’t ideologues (even many of the ones who claim to be) but in the U.S., “liberals” are generally folks that are left-leaning/center left. The Democratic Party is run by liberals.

    Do you not understand that Iran has been funding terrorism for decades?

    The Houthi's, Hezbollah, Hamas - to name a few. One thing for a global power to have nukes - but in the hands of terrorists it’s a whole different world.

    Do you get that or are you just braindead?

    Actually don’t even bother to answer that, you named yourself Enigma so that’s all I need to know. IMG_0592.jpeg

    What does any of this have anything to do with what I said about regretful Trump voters deserving blame?

    You’re having a completely different conversation with idk who lol.

    Thanks! It's kinda funny lol how different that can be.

    Over here the (biggest) liberal party, the one I always vote for btw, is center/right-right. They stand for less government involvement and more responsibility for people themselves.

    Where most of the 'left' parties here want more government involvement.

    I know its a lot more complex than 'left and right" though but I always see people make fun of liberals here when its something different over here lol

    Yeah, a lot of confusion given the divergence of liberalism over time. Classical liberalism (generally calls for less gov. involvement) is entirely different from social liberalism (generally calls for more government involvement). The later is who Americans refer to as “liberals” whereas in Europe & elsewhere it may be the prior.

    2020 election has been confirmed stolen. I was the first to call this out on election night and got banned for it. Can't wait till all Bidens actions get reversed. I just hope Trump picks a better supreme court pick than Amy Barrett to replace the DEI Autopen pick. Once the arrests start I'll be happy though. May even get sick of winning.
