Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue, eat their corpse, shit himself, murder a puppy with his bare hands while screaming ALLAH AKBAR and STILL mother fuckers would vote for him just for lower egg prices

We are the dumbest fucking country on the planet

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

And egg prices will still go up.

Catastrophicly so.

You didn't really need to add the bigoted bullshit and just as reference "god is great" was and is still a warcall of Christians.

[–] shadowfax13@lemmy.ml -3 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

maybe you should try to live at 2000$ a month in nyc while renting. you will quickly understand why so many didn’t vote or voted trump after hearing peak cringe & farce from dnc for months. ii am very sure they wanted to shoot harris every time some celeb endorsement was thrown at their face. but keep living in your bubble if ignorance.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

Harris was the path of things slowly getting better. Wages finally overtaking inflation.

Given a couple years, we would all be in a better place.

Trump's tariffs will drive up the price of everything. The last few years of inflation and greed will pale in comparison.

Don't worry I'm sure the billionaire convicted fraudster who hasn't divested from his NYC real estate will reduce your NYC rent prices. He would never use the presidency to enrich himself and his businesses. What was that about a bubble of ignorance?

I don't have a dog in the fight; I live elsewhere, but it's baffling to see voters vote for someone who actively caters to the corporations and rich that exploit the average American. Criminal record and very questionable ethics aside, choosing to elect someone to pour more gas on fire doesn't seem like the right solution

Like the emperors new cloths was suppose to be a stop gaurd against someone like trump. Nope. The only fairy tales we subscribe to are bible^tm^ and they need to be predigested by a guy who touches little boys.

Sad thing is, the person who read me the emperors new clothes is the one gobbling his knob.

Wisdom is probably a very real feature of society we need and depend on. I think with the suddenness of all the technological advancement the wisdom we needed to have in place just wasn't there.

It's almost like the reason there isn't any visitors in a universe filled with life is knowledge cannot advance as fast as intelligence.

The mother and I made the same expression 2 days ago

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 36 points 1 day ago

This reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. Eventually the boy cries wolf too many times, townspeople stop listening to the boy, and stop responding to the cries.

The way we tell it, though, is that the boy is falsely crying wolf each time. And the townspeople eventually learn their lesson and stop responding.

One hypothetical that I always think about is what if the boy is correct each time, and there really is a wolf every time? Well, I think the townspeople would eventually grow numb to the cries and stop responding anyway, and kinda leave the boy to fend for himself because they're sick of helping him. We'd see the same result even if the boy did nothing wrong.

I’m so glad I’m not missing out on a slightly larger margin.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

Its a marginal difference

You can see the quality difference right?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not at my phone without zooming in. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay don't take this as an insult, but you gotta get glasses or update your glasses or something. Either that or your phone screen is really bad.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You’re just jealous of my superior anti aliasing brain skills.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I personally zoom and enhance automatically

The time to post this was a week ago.

This is definitely a repost.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Literally, and by that I mean, YES that is the face I was making

Some combination of dread, denial, fear, anxiety and a general sense that shit is about to hit the fan

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If you wanna be even wider eyed, consider that trump 'tariffs' are a great way to extort other counties, they'll all pay that extortion fee directly to donald trump to avoid the tariffs. He will leave the white house a trillionaire in 4 years and nothing can stop it.

I hate to say it, but I'd actually take orangie over the couch fucker

Turd vs turd who is more effective

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I hope for an artery to clog while he forms his signature little O mouth together with accordion hands, and eyes-crossed falls over mouth frothing to be never seen again. The end.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm hoping for a Biden like decline but drastically worse, knowing he'll cling to power 'till the bitter end and sabotage Vance's future campaign

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't want Vance to be president, but I do really want Trump to die quite soon.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I wouldn't be bothered by retroactive, in case anyone can make that happen

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This comic is several decades old by now. This means her daughter is now all grown up and voting Trump now.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

She's reading a book as a child, likely went to college and voted Harris/Walz like a good non-nazi citizen

I'm trying to cope

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I told you not to vote for the Sheep-Eating Wolves Party!

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Don't blame me, I voted for the sheep-eating-coyote!

[–] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.

150 million sheep would beg to differ

[–] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

We only had 67% voter turnout, so that'd be about 112 million

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Only they see themselves as wolves, which would explain why they call the others sheeple
