    The guy illegally attempted to overturn an election. Spread a deadly lie about our institutions that incited an insurrection. Stole classified documents and refused to return them when asked. Stated he trusted Russian intelligence over U.S. intelligence on live television.

    The man is quite literally a traitor to the United States of America.

    And, as a nation, we decided that not only was it not a big enough deal to do anything about, but that we should totally let him be president again.

    No one should be surprised about this, or any of the insane shit we’ll be hearing over the next 4 years.

    Welcome to the new normal. It’s going to be bad. And it’s going to get worse. And it’ll probably continue after Trump is gone because that’s what happens when this kind of stuff gets normalized.

    America is failing, and this is probably just the beginning.

      Yup, failing, or already failed and we’re just waiting for the ashes to settle. I don’t think democracy can work when the public is intentionally being misinformed, and no country can be stable when it’s governed by a shitstorm of lies.

        Y’all weren’t that misinformed. He got up on stage and rambled. He got up on stage and said nothing while he barely gyrated his hips for 40 minutes. He grabbed em by the pussy.

        The whole election campaign was so laughably bad that it became a flex of how he is going to get away with everything. If you voted him in knowing all this than who gives a fuck what he does.
