Doesn’t even know the presidential oath he pledged.
You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?
This comment has devastated the entire MAGAverse
You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?
Yes. Yes it does. And there are plenty of them who want more of this.
And I don’t even blame the MAGA morons any more. I blame the “progressive” Democrats and so-called “independents” who decided to stay home in November and allow Trump to return to power because Kamala Harris had the audacity to commit sins like running for President while being a black woman, campaigning with Liz Cheney that one time, and not being left enough for their liking, so obviously the only reasonable thing to do was to let Trump return to power.
How’s that working out for y’all, you fucking chodes?
I’ve been saying this for a long time.
The people who stayed home or voted third party are still trying to blame Dems for this, because the Dems didn’t try hard enough and “didn’t inspire them”.
Yeah? Well if you need a politician to inspire you to show up and fill out a piece of paper that will help protect marginalized groups, then you’re a piece of shit.
I’m not a Dem. Never will be. But I understood what was on the line.
Gaza is gonna get glassed, my gay and trans loved ones are in immediate danger, among God knows how much more heinous shit is going down.
They said they were gonna do this. And a huge group of people who wanted to be seen as morally pure decided to sit it out to feel superior.
You’re not superior. You’re a monster. The Dems shouldn’t have to “inspire” you to stop a fascist regime. It’s American exceptionalism at it’s fucking worst.
Fuck ALL of them. All of em.
Even dems are still American, and everything is about MEEEE!
Don’t forget calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Gaza virtue signallers really hated that.
She was the second shittiest candidate, but in a two horse race, why would anyone choose otherwise? Baffling.
We can blame the MAGA crowd, too. There’s enough blame to go around. We can also blame the strategists who killed the momentum that Harris/Walz had.
It’s not the Dems fault that so many people didn’t give a shit about marginalized groups.
But you know why I blame the “progressive” Democrats and “independents” more?
Everybody knew that the MAGA crowd was going to MAGA.
Everybody knew that the strategists were going to stick to the same old playbook.And you know what else everybody knew?
Everybody knew that in this election, not voting for Harris was a de-facto vote for Trump. Everybody knew that whatever your position was on any given topic, Trump’s position was an exponentially worse option.
Everybody knew that even under the best of circumstances, this was going to come down to the wire.These people knew it. They knew how important their vote was, and they stayed home anyway. And they still infect this very community with their constant excuses for blaming everybody else for their own choices because Kamala Harris wasn’t the perfect candidate.
“She wasn’t a supporter of Gaza.” First, let’s remember the fact that the Jewish voters in this country exponentially outnumber Palestinians multiple times over, and if she had spoke out against Israel and it cost her even 10% of the Jewish vote, she’d still have lost even more votes than she would have gained from Gaza supporters. And second, if the people of Gaza are supposed to be your primary concern, how is allowing a man who was openly campaigning on amping up the genocide, annexing the land, and turning it into beachfront property any better for them? Or the university students in this country who are now being deported for supporting them?
“She campaigned with Liz Cheney one time.” So fucking what? Liz Cheney wasn’t running for re-election. None of Liz Cheney’s policies were on any ballots. This was a woman who, much as I disagree with her on 99.99999999% of policy issues, still sacrificed her career to try to hold Trump to account. Conveniently, of all the dozens of Republicans who endorsed and even campaigned with Harris, she is the one everybody gets all up in arms about. Gee, I wonder what separates her from all of the Republican guys that also endorsed Harris? And even without that…everybody gets mad because Harris campaigned with someone who formerly supported Trump. But how in the name of holy fuck does it make sense to retaliate by allowing Trump to return to power? “I’m so fucking mad that a former Trump supporter endorsed her that I’m going to let Trump return to power! That’ll show 'em!”.
“She wasn’t far enough to the left on <whatever issue>”. Ok. Again, so fucking what? How does allowing our government to be controlled by a far-right trifecta that is campaigning on dismantling the very progressive programs you’re supposed to support help that in any way, shape, or form?
The lot of them decided that the remedy to not shooting themselves in the foot was to point the gun at their own head instead.
And I’ve said it before and I still believe it: The people who fall into this category I believe are closeted racists who either low-key support Trump’s immigration policies, didn’t want to vote for a black woman, or both, and are just using one of the above flimsy arguments to justify their choice rather than admit it.
Apologies, but I only skimmed your reply. I don’t disagree with you that non-voters share the blame. I just don’t want to give anybody a free pass here.
I’m sure the Oath Keepers group will speak out and act on this. Right? Right? *crickets*
He doesn’t need to if no one holds him accountable. He should need to, legally, but, in the current environment, he doesn’t.

Trump probably had his fingers crossed while he took the oath.
He didn’t bother putting his hand on the Bible. Not that I care, but you’d think his “omg christian patriot doggy mommy” followers would say something.
All I can do is laugh at this point. This regime is so buffoonish and so open with their intentions that I genuinely wonder how people fell for this shit and continue to believe it. Are we really this fucking dumb ?
I’ve been thinking that for nearly ten years now.
Oh yeah same. I was in 5th grade when trump first won and from the get go i could tell he was full of shit. I was taught very young not to trust the rich lol
Thankyou for making me feel very old :) Btw, don’t trust anyone with something to sell.
When you have a mom who works in fraud prevention you learn stuff like that very young lol
Yes, very fearful too, but worse even: selfish, hateful and evil.
Yeah, we sit around and laugh about how stupid he is while he ignores the law and constitution to the detriment of the freedom of citizens and immigrants alike.
We are literally that stupid.
I want an extensive study done on the brains of maga supporters when this is over. I need to know what is going on up there that makes them act the way they do.
More research is always good, as it can deepen our understanding, but the basic outline of what’s going on is already known. A lot of people just don’t want to believe it, because we’re all stuck on the metaphor that we’re all captains of the ship inside our own heads. You see it in this thread; people want to blame non-voters, as if millions of people all had perfect information and all made decisions based upon it through conscious reasoning. Because they’re just—I dunno—bad people? (Which is a completely bonkers belief when you start to dig into it.)
Actually, neuroscience tells us that consciousness doesn’t really exist, except as an emergent phenomenon of sensory experience. Brain scans show that thoughts, feelings, and decisions occur before we’re consciously aware of them; the conscious mind is basically a rationalization machine, inventing narratives about why we did a thing or felt a certain way, only after the fact. And, it’s notoriously bad at it. (The Misattribution of Arousal is one of the classic examples.) So, if you can affect the way that somebody’s brain works, you can in many ways control what the they think and feel.
And that’s exactly what authoritarian demagogues do.
I’ll read that when I have the time since it looks very interesting
I’ve concluded that MAGA people are as afraid of diversity, equity, and inclusion as normal people are of fascism. Their brains react to things like social acceptance of transgender people with the same horror to which our brains react to Trump sending people to concentration camps.
So they’re literally just backwards idiots ?
There has been a lot of study done to ‘normal’ Germans after Hitler took over, I expect the result to overlap.
Same thing that’s been going on for millenia now. Humans being humans, look around the globe and through history. This is not new and we are not special.
Sucks though.
I can cry too.
Are the constitutions all over the world really valid today ?
He and his ilk are traitors.
“I don’t think so” is what he meant
A lot of Trumpers here decorate their cars with “We the people…” in Constitution-style script. I wonder how much of it he needs to violate for them to see the disconnect.
Take their guns away and let’s see what the bobble heads do.
What does it take to get this guy out of office? Genuine question. We impeached this guy like twice but it didn’t go through
A democrat majority in congress
Supermajority probably
Super-duper majority, gotta survive the Democrat-defectors
And if your R’s know that, they will never allow it to happen.
A coffin is the only way. It’ll probably be easier to secede.
Trump has the logic of a five year old.
He is performing plausible deniability. Without saying directly yes or no, he is still open to the idea of not upholding the constitution. It is like saying “I can neither confirm nor deny.”
But he vowed to uphold the constitution, it’s a requirement of being sworn in as president
Thing is, HE SHOULD FUCKING KNOW!
At this point I’m just curious how long this will go on. What would have to tilt for a group of politicians to overhaul his ass and the r’s supporting him?
I believe it will continue until the politicians are scared of an angry mob kicking in their door.
Food shortages will do it.
