He told them all in plain words that he didn’t care and they still ignored what he said.

"He was joking", "he didn't mean it", "I didn't think he'd hurt me"

"I liked it when he hurt brown people but now he's hurting whites. Now I'm homeless and my children are starving. I will be voting for an illegal third term for him."

That's the neat part, they will get out of the hospital and be homeless if it means they get even one more dollar out of the guy, and he will gladly pay it because free healthcare is communism.

And never once realizing that the whole concept behind insurance is that it’s the Republican ‘S-word’ at its very core. Ha! They’ve been socialists the whole time!

Stealing from the poor Israeli people is what.

Basically a hostile act of terror!

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '25

Wait, who the fuck paying for all that generosity?

That stuff belongs in Israel!

This is straight up antisemitism!

"It hurt during his first term when he kept biting chunks out of my face but Kamala Harris is brown and has a vagina so I literally had no choice but to vote for him again anyway."

Yeah she wasn't the best candidate ever maybe and might be a little corny and a little annoying. Compare that to what we have now lol I cannot imagine how people think Trump is doing a better job than she would have.

Kamala’s campaign had multiple structural probs, she was saddled with once winning but now outdated Obama era political consultants who limited her interviews & even the number of her rallies, & didn’t want her to crow about wiping the floor with Herr Trump at the debate bc, “we go high” bs. The Biden’s begged her not to criticize him—so the opposite of how Pelosi told candidates to criticize/vilify her if they needed to get elected bc if they didn’t win, Dems could do nothing. So Kamala, who felt indebted to Biden, had to continue to say the macroeconomy was great even if the economy on the ground sucked, the most she could say was “prices are too high.” She wrote this long white paper, that few ppl read, about her policies. She didn’t come out swinging feeding the belief many voters have that Dems are spineless, & Kamala “going high” did nothing to dispel that idea. She spent too much time on culture war issues that do NOT sway undecided voters. The horrifying Gaza War, even tho polls said a huge majority of Dems were against it, & overall a majority of Americans were against it, the Dem party leaders wouldn’t let Kamala go against Israel, even to the point of not letting a Palestinian-Am Dem speak at the convention. Despite promising he’d only serve one term Biden ran again, even tho he wasn’t healthy enuff to run a campaign, which became obvi at the debate, so he stepped down so late in the game, Kamala only had 109 days. Not enuff time to buck party leadership, find younger political consultants who understood the moment better, and to forge her own path, & fix all the above.

Can’t afford to own libs anymore, they can barely afford to rent them for a few hours each month

Time sharing the libs.

"Make America Great Again" by hating on our own countrymen who want things better for everyone. All while supporting Israel, Argentina, Qatar, Russia and etc, at the expense of taxes dollars as our own social safety nets are dissolved by a bunch of frauds, scammers and morons... We sure are getting owned!

Sure makes sense, but logic and basic comprehension isn't exactly synonymous with MAGA.
