    Well then, shouldn’t be long before we’re all terrorists, seeing as this won’t be the end of it.

      Cheese? only use American and only in extremely hot areas.

      The real joy is using slices of bologna.

      Or, if you want to go hard, get some sponges and soak them in acetone. But that’s not for Cybertrucks. They need lemon juice and salt. Just mix up a batch and fill a squirt gun.

    Terrorism only applies to brown or poor people.

    If you’re rich you get a free pass to do anything including genocide.

      It’s only rich people who can boycott Teslas (poor folk wouldn’t afford them in the first place) so it must be pardonable to boycott! Problem solved!

    So what you’re saying is: the only wqy to not be a terrorist is to threaten elected officials until I get my way?

    I’m off to be an upstanding citizen.

    Oh noo, it caused mass terror throughout the country … when people saw mildly vandalised pre-shitty cars, PTSD for life.

    Remember, Trump doesn’t say things that are true - or even things he thinks are true - he only says things that he thinks will benefit him to say. So yes, it benefits him to say Jan 6 wasn’t domestic terrorism, and that vandalism of his boss’ cars is domestic terrorism.

      About ⅓ of eligible voters voted for someone else.

      About ⅓ of eligible voters voted for him.

      About ⅓ of eligible voters didn’t vote at all- either because they didn’t want to, or were unable to.

      He won by the slimmest margin in decades.

      So WE didn’t vote him in. A majority of voters did (by the slimmest of margins). But a lot of that can be attributed to misinformation, foreign (Russian) influence, oligarchs playing the system, and so on. There was a massive influx of campaign cash for him in specific states (from people like Musk).

      Of the ⅓ who voted for someone else, the majority of them voted for Harris, and are absolutely miserable with the outcome. The bulk of the eligible American voters you meet on Lemmy probably fall into that category. When you come to them and say “why did you vote him in office?” You’re not asking the right people.

        I truly believe the reason is because even amongst democrats there are still a large group of people who are racists and/or sexists.

        That’s all true but it doesn’t change anything meaningful. All that matters is the end result of the election. People from other countries have every right to ask Americans wtf we were thinking.

      Many of us didn’t. In fact, many people didn’t vote for anybody, and that was a major part of the problem. These people, usually single issue voters, thought they had the moral high ground by not voting between bad and worst.

      Trump received the same number of votes as last election, but Harris received significantly less than Biden did last election. Harris wasn’t good enough for a lot of Democrats, and they thought not voting and letting Trump win was better than tossing their morals aside on a single issue.
