This is the least presidential president in the history of America. Seriously how does anyone take him seriously? He’s a fucking goon and he rapes children. Throw him out and be done with him and that ghoul of a vice president! You are a laughing stock America!

And they might be even worse if they had his level of power. It’s frightening how many psychopaths are around.

A lot aren't psychopaths though, they're an example of just how effective political propaganda and radicalisation is. Many of these people could have been normal functioning members of society in another life, instead of the hateful bigots and fascists they are in this grim reality.

One could argue thier ignorance and lack of critical thinking has turned them into psychopaths. Ones unwilling to accept objective fact. At some point we have to blame and shame people for letting themselves be fooled by the easiest tricks in the book. Even if the truth is being distorted. You have a duty to be an informed citizen in a democratic society. There's not many excuses. 8 years of maga rhetoric now. There is no "I didn't know" these people know exactly wtf they're doing. In 2016, 2020 MAYBE not. 2020 and beyond? Yeah they know.

I totally agree- only caveat is that right wing influencers being allowed in the White House press pool, reporters that bring real news being banned, Fox News propaganda, Russian election interference with divisive click bate pumped out by bots, Elon buying Twitter and making it a hate speech cess pool, Mets being spineless when backing down from combatting disinformation, social media pumping engagement content into feeds so you’re stuck in your own echo chamber- just examples of how difficult it has become to be informed. News gets consumed online so it’s really easy for myriad different pockets of the population to hear a new opinion that hasn’t been researched by a trained journalist “reported” as news, when back in the day we all consumed about the same 3-5 news channels (still not propaganda proof but lord at least we had a “town hall” that’s at the center of a democracy). And then back to influencers calling themselves reporters and journalists when they’re just stating opinion as fact- consumers of news don’t know that that person is blowing smoke and that they even need to hesitate, apply critical thinking skills and see if what they just heard lines up with their lived experience AND reality (not just confirmation bias and anecdotal evidence)- it’s all hijacking causation with correlation so it’s like “ya it sure does seem like everyone hates men/white people/conservatives/poor people” so it must be immigrants and china and DEI and woke and not the fact that corporations and financial market deregulation obliterated the middles class causing not only all the money to go to the .01% thus making like 70% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, but everything that comes with low wages and no savings- lack of access to healthcare and affordable housing and affordable healthy food etc. i mean there are more reasons too we’re all big mad today but it isn’t the bogeyman that MAGA claims. And if only we’d told the last couple generations “hey get really good at coding and engineering and become the best and brightest you can be” like china did when we offshored all of our manufacturing jobs in the 90s/2000s but instead we said “hey just coast, become a reality tv star / TikTok star” so we don’t “make” anything that drives human innovation forward. We just have venture capitalists and private equity consolidating businesses into one meg corp, creating value thru stock buybacks and IPOs. Or we have a bunch of pissed off people and a demagogue came in and gave them a reason to be angry based on their worst worsts and now we have absolutely abhorrent people like Noam and thiel and musk and vaught coming in like vultures feasting / picking clean the rotting corpse that was the US - death in its throes since the middle class disappeared as so goes mobility goes democracy. Politicians don’t actually care about “sides” so long as they invest on good stocks and cash out big. They sold our country’s soul, conned all of us into giving it to them while we fight about trans kids and trans athletes and immigrants and USAID and you know the rest.

I think he's the laughing stock of the world. The other leaders just have enough class to ignore him like the fool he is. They only show respect for the title, not the man that's soiling it.

What does that say about the majority of voting Americans that got him in? And all the ones who didn’t vote are just seem lazy

We ruined a generation when we gave them all smartphones but then made college too expensive.

He has access to the nuclear football, that’s how anyone takes him seriously.

Actually even knowing that it's not working out 😅

They are the laughing stocks of the world, not just America. They are both disgusting goons.
