It’s one democracy, Michael, what could it cost? 100 dollars?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 16 hours ago

If you don't pay it's actually 0 dollars!

And didn't even get the money up front.

Consider that Trump had something like a 47% approval rating on the day of the election.

Also, yes. People are broke af, hate their neighborhood, hate their country, and hate everyone who has governed it since JFK. If someone offered you $100 for a pile of shit, you'd take the deal, too.

The joke of it all is that they believed a career con-artist would pay out, not that they gleefully pawned the broke down jalopy of a nation-state at the first opportunity.

Do not think for a second that they won't try to do it again.

To be fair, I'd hate my life, too, if I lived next to a bunch of MAGA morons.
