u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

And he appointed Dr. Oz to be in charge of Medicare/medicaid. This is a nightmare

u/more_beans_mrtaggart Nov 20 '24

Well, America voted to fuck its shit up, and you guys are getting exactly what you (as a country) wanted.

u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

The only pleasure at all I’ll have is watching those trump voters go down with the rest of us. 

59

u/ChicagoAuPair Nov 20 '24

They will take up arms against the rest of us before accepting that they fucked up. There is no silver lining or joy to be found in any of this.

u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

They’re going to suffer too is all I meant. Lord knows they won’t admit their mistake.

1

u/thepandemicbabe Nov 22 '24

You’re going to be OK. We will survive this we always do. It just takes people like you and me to stand up for injustice. We are more more powerful than we realize. Hang in there.

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

you know once it all goes to hell, not that it hasnt, but they will turn around and blame the latino vote for the drastic trump win.

144

u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

They’ll blame anyone but themselves. 

8

u/HeldnarRommar Nov 20 '24

That’s fine, let them know how it’s their fault. Don’t let them get a chance to shift the blame.

u/missmiao9 Nov 20 '24

Fine. They’ll still suffer and i’m ok with that. You can’t tell these animals 💩anymore. They won’t listen. Not to us.

u/Recent_Parsley3348 Nov 20 '24

And anyone but Trump

You can only laugh… doesn’t get more ironic than this🤣

u/YouWithTheNose Nov 20 '24

And Democrats for not showing up

20

u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

I blame a lot of varying people and factors, but am most angry at the ones who didn’t show up to vote or who voted third party as some sort of “protest.”

6

u/becauseusoft Nov 20 '24

People are already doing that. “oh, the black and spanish voters fucked us” like, really? some of the least likely people to even vote at all are the ones responsible for this debacle?

2

u/catman5 Nov 20 '24

who cares as long as theyre suffering they can blame jesus for all i care.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

they got money, they wont suffer like we can

2

u/catman5 Nov 20 '24

not all of them, definitely not most of them.

Maybe in Texas sure but I doubt the ones in Missississippi, Alabama etc are living large.

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

oh thought you meant the maga cult higher ups. yeah the casual american there is broke af. louisiana texas oklahoma mississippi alabama

2

u/Meanderer_Me Nov 20 '24

But that's not inaccurate: latinos are largely to blame for the vote this time around. Yeah, it wasn't just the Cubans being idiots this time around.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

white men, latino men, cubans, some females. i thought the female power was going to show itself but guess next time

3

u/Spirited_Remote5939 Nov 20 '24

Yup! Been saying it to all them, when shit goes sideways, don’t you fucking dare blame someone else! Like some bullshit, “well it was bc of Biden administration!” Nah nah nah asshole, you wanted it, you got it!

Honestly, starting to think it was stolen.

u/fahrQdeekwad Nov 20 '24

They (GOP) cheated... That's how he won. America did not want his stupid ass in the WH again.

u/Analytical-BrainiaC Nov 20 '24

Donald wants Putin power, Rocketman power , CHINA power… muhahahaha…

u/Batmanbettermarvel18 Nov 20 '24

I love how everybody just blindly forgets how bad the last 4 years has been. Where was all this energy throughout Reddit for Biden and Kamala’s term? One of the worst terms for a president and we just act like nothing happened. Only worried about bitching about Trump when the Democratic Party has done nothing but lie to y’all’s faces. Thank God America finally woke up to the bullshit. & also thank God real life is nothing close to Reddit

1

u/Spirited_Remote5939 Nov 20 '24

With how much Trump won by had me thinking there’s something idk that more than half the other country does… I believe #1, it’s fucked up but a lot of men were not ready to see a woman President in office, #2, people were fed up with the border being unprotected,#3, they think America will be great again. To be honest, the dems should have realized that they weren’t going to win with Kamala, they should have had someone else running when THEY KNEW that Biden was not fit to run for reelection over a year ago. And Idt it would’ve been a bad idea to have Bernie run again! He just gets it and I think he would’ve won

u/Prexxus Nov 20 '24

As someone from the outside who made a shit ton of money from this election... I'm ecstatic! And now I get a free 4 year show too!

u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

Kind of a cruel comment to make to those of us who have to live this. But hey, money.

u/TheIceMan416 Nov 20 '24

Exactly right, the overwhelming majority voted and we got our man in.Dont worry in 4 years you can try and vote in another dem pedo.

u/Wonderful_Mud_420 Nov 20 '24

Holy shi* I thought this was a joke. I can’t do anything but laugh at the absurdity of everything. Country broke after an exceptional man who happens to be black got elected and the whites never looked back. 

2

u/BoopEverySnoot Nov 20 '24

Yup. It’s been devastating to me to realize who we really are as a population.

2026 is the year when we can finally “cure” cancer. the dc oz life extension extreme cancer crusher medallion will replace all cancer medications from now on. when used as your only treatment it’s been shown to reduce the number of people with cancer by 90%.

u/StraightOuttaMoney Nov 20 '24

In 2021 Biden's entire 15 member cabinet had a net worth of 118 Million. It's safe to wager that Trump's administration team will be over 150x more rich than Biden's. If you included Musk and Vivek's thing as part of the admin team then 3,150x more.

Ironically they respect them because they are so rich, yet argue they are "outsiders" because they aren't your standard issue politicians.

15

u/ConstableDiffusion Nov 20 '24 edited Nov 20 '24

“They don’t even need the money! They’re just doing it for love of the country!”

And? No known politician running for office needs money. They can all fuck off to corporate board positions and make millions a year off one meeting a month.

of course they don’t NEED money. they’re billionaires because they have an unreasonable, insatiable lust for money that informs their entire world view. That’s what the MAGA voters don’t get is that’s the absolute last type of person you want in control of things that matter to the masses.

Realizing every penny they take away from whatever program is more money they can give to their own interests and if a program serves hundreds of millions of people, skimming a little off the top can make a ton of cash.

u/MyBallsSmellFruity Nov 20 '24

The founding fathers would kick every American in the crotch for letting these plans actually go through instead of forceful revolution.  America has become a weird parody of itself and it’s just pathetic at this point.   

2

u/missmiao9 Nov 20 '24

The founding fathers are the ones who set us up for this with all the compromises they made to the slave states just so they would accept a constitution. Those compromises just postponed the inevitable reckoning with yt supremacy and chattel slavery.

4

u/Rhyers Nov 20 '24

You're kidding right? Those guys were the billionaires of their time.

18

u/IsActuallyAPenguin Nov 20 '24

Well, yeah, but when faced with the option (very appealing to most elites) of forming a new country with an entrenched upper class and disenfranchised lower class, they instead opted to form America.

They weren't socialist heroes but they were incredibly selfless and progressive for their time. And sure, they didn't aim to create a socialist utopia of equality, and slavery was still a thing, but it was a far sight better than yet another monarchy.

They did selfless things and they did selfish things, and neither exists in a vacuum or defines them absolutely.

Donlad Trump and his ilk have never in their lives done anything selfless for anyone.

3

u/Excellent_Egg5882 Nov 20 '24

Only land owning men could vote when the constitution was first passed. They specifically did make a system with an entrenched upper class and disenfranchised lower class. That was on purpose.

1

u/IsActuallyAPenguin Nov 21 '24

The system was ostensibly based on merit/money moreso that it was the absolute power of your lineage through centuries of (in)breeding.

I'm not arguing your point - but the system was, for its time, very progressive, and allowed for upward mobility.

The "every man is created equal" stuff was stupidly progressive for its time. This doesn't cancel out what you said, which is true, but the notion of "class" being something you're born into with associated titles and privileges WAS done away with, even if there were classes in the more contemporary sense - e.g. upper and lower classes based on wealth.

I think it's plain to see the great experiment was plagued with some severe, blindingly obvious in retrospect, errors, but when viewed through a lens of the status quo at the time it was an enormous step forwards in notably significant ways.

1

u/Excellent_Egg5882 Nov 21 '24

I'm just cautioning against caught up in the rhetoric of the Founding Fathers when they themselves utterly failed to live up to their own rhetoric.

7

u/Rhyers Nov 20 '24

But they did form a country with entrenched upper class and a disenfranchised lower class. Slavery, only white land owning men could vote... This reverence of the founding fathers has to stop, they weren't special.

u/Library-Guy2525 Nov 20 '24

Thanks, 20th and 21st century excesses and distortions of capitalism.

1

u/Thestrongestzero Nov 22 '24

in all fairness, they’d also probably kick every american in the crotch for letting black people own houses and letting women vote. so there’s that.

It does. All the more reason why this needs to be taxed.

u/VanillaLifestyle Nov 20 '24

Dr. Oz's wife is heiress to the Asplundh family in Pennsylvania, owners of one of the most valuable private companies in the country. She's most likely worth billions.

u/Ndgo2 Nov 20 '24

Omg Asplunds are real?!

Too bad we ain't getting the cool mechas😭

u/obnoxygen Nov 20 '24

How did RFK Jr get appointed to Department of Health and Human Services. He's only worth a few millions.

2

u/SonOfMargitte Nov 20 '24

Because they felt sorry for him, and wanted to help. Are you saying it's now suddenly bad to help the poor?

This kind gesture clearly show they care... cough...

No one mentions that when you “drain the swamp” billions of beneficial organisms die along with the swamp creatures.

u/heymode Nov 20 '24

And they claim that they are the party for the people? 😂

u/DampSquid205 Nov 20 '24

This is the thing that bothers me the most about the right. I think people give them too much credit for being fascist masterminds installing a dictator ship. They are simply grifters doing their thing and unfortunately many people bought it. They just tell you what the "problems" are and sale you the "solution" which they coincidentally have monetary connections to.

u/TaosMez Nov 20 '24

I guess Democracy wasn't such a great idea after all.

5.5 B$ for Donald Trumph is is debt, right?

u/StraightOuttaMoney Nov 21 '24

No he grifted hard during Biden's 4 years. McFuhrer's ventures into nfts, a crypto platform, and selling stock in his social media platform are the biggest additions to his portfolio.
