Just like in 2016, he called the election rigged and that he wouldn't accept the results. And then he won, and suddenly, all the wolf cries of "it's rigged" vanished into thin air and they started saying how it was the most significant election of all time, a true underdog come-from-behind win, and wow look how big the crowd size is at my inauguration, I bet Obama didn't pull a crowd like that! Nothing ever mentioned about it being rigged again except for how he should have won by even wider margins than he did.
I fucking hate Trump with every fiber of my body. How stupid do you have to be to look at this guy or listen to him speak and take away anything other than the fact that he's an egomaniac who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life? If anybody ever says positive things about him in front of me for the rest of my life, that person is dead to me.
Even calling it an underdog story kind of betrays the truth that they did not expect to win, contrary to their claims that a loss would prove a rigged election.
They know it's rigged because they're the ones rigging the damn things
It's impossible for them to understand the idea that the Democrats might not also be desperately trying to counter-rig every election, and rather just have such a shit ton more voters outside the hostile voting environments that they still occasionally pull out a win now and then
I mean, Hillary absolutely rigged the 2016 Democratic primaries. She just didn't feel the need to put out the effort to rig the general election. She learned the Watergate lesson. Why rig an election you're absolutely going to win? You run the risk of getting caught. It's only worth rigging an election if you think you might lose.
Trump is awesome. I love him. MAGA 2024
He's awesome because he fucked a porn star while his wife was pregnant?
Or is he awesome because he stole from his own charity?
Is he awesome because he's so disrespectful?
Is he so awesome because he goes on these weird nonsensical rants like the nuclear one?
Is he awesome because he estranged all the US allies, making the US weaker than ever before?
Is he awesome because he withdrew from a base in such a hurry that when Russian forces took over they still could.use all the food supplies left behind?
Is he awesome because he wants to be a dictator? Not my words, his.
Is he awesome because he completely ignored Corona, saying a miracle would cure it, and then edging people on to take ivermectin, then talking about injecting bleach? Causing millions extra to unnecessarily die, btw.
Why exactly IS he awesome? What part, that I might have missed, is awesome?
And just to be clear: all the above happened, don't even start with "that never happened" because then you need to stop watching right wing news outlets and just.. I dunno, go out and touch grass?
Stop trying to make trump sound cool.
Stop being a teenage edgelord. I've seen the likes of you come and go and be absolutely worthless all my life, and you're just sad.
That’s not what I’m trying to do. half the things you wrote are cool, more if you don’t suck.
Lol, you support an obvious dementia patient.
AAAAAAAA IT'S THE OPINION 🤮
