49% = ‘a sweeping mandate’?

Posted on November 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

“Thankfully,” they continue, “we have a historic opportunity to solve the problem. On Nov. 5, voters decisively elected Donald Trump with a mandate for sweeping change, and they deserve to get it.”

According to Elon and Vivek, 49% of the vote constitutes a sweeping mandate. Well, okay 🤔

As I’ve said before, there is going to be a lot of buyer’s remorse in a few short months. Will it be too late for voters to reconsider?

Leopards Ate My Face

Posted on November 18, 2024 | Leave a comment

There’s a Subreddit called Leopards Ate My Face with the following description:

“‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party. Revel in the schadenfreude anytime someone has a sad because they’re suffering consequences from something they voted for or supported or wanted to impose on other people.”

I admit it— I’m pissed off at people who voted for an adjudicated rapist and felon who tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election, simply because these people had some vague idea that he would magically bring down food prices, and also believed that he wasn’t serious about the unhinged things he said during the campaign. Like imposing scorched-earth tariffs, or deporting 10-20 million immigrants. Suddenly, these people are seeing that he IS serious and that these things are going to affect them in very negative ways.

Case in point: this is an article that was highlighted on the Subreddit, entitled “Trump’s pro-Israel cabinet picks upset Muslims who voted for him” :

There’s a great line from Dylan’s Million Dollar Bash: “I looked at my watch, I looked at my wrist, I punched myself in the face with my fist.” Yep.

Elections have consequences

Posted on November 9, 2024 | Leave a comment

I’ve been reading stories about Trump voters who say they didn’t realize that he plans to deport their undocumented family members or that his tariffs will make it impossible to afford appliances, etc. And by the way, when he follows through on mass deportation, you’re going to experience food price inflation like you’ve never seen before.

Sorry, but cry me a river. You made your bed, and now you’ll just have to sleep in it. Perhaps I’ll feel some empathy when my anger burns out…

Fuck that guy.

Posted on November 7, 2024 | Leave a comment

Before Election Day, I told myself that, should Trump win, I’d need to come up with an escape plan, like move to another country, etc. But today, my wife told me that conservative bros have been writing things like “Your body, my choice” and one of her black friends got the text you see below.

So, you know what? Fuck that guy and his ghouls! I’m not going anywhere. Despite his win of the popular vote, turnout was way down. If he is somehow able to implement some of the radical notions he’s been floating in the campaign, it’s not going to go well for him.

Fuck that guy.
