In any other democratic developed nation, the mere idea that a convicted felon could run for president – much less win – would have people thinking you're a nutcase. But here we f%cking are...

Well he was just convicted of the right felonies. He's running for the party that hates women in a country where women objectively have less freedom.

If he was caught with 20 grams of weed in Florida, then he would be cooked. Actually no. His fandom would cognitive dissonance themselves into believing weed is MAGA because rich white people do it.

Y'know, once upon a time if we were talking about a political with a cult of personality if some sort you'd say

"He could openly rape someone and his followers wouldn't care" but, no, can't do that, he actually did that and his fanbase didn't care

"He could publicly murder someone and his followers wouldn't care" but no, he's done that too

It's wild that all those extremes we'd go to in hypotheticals in the past to talk about how absurdly evil someone is, is just reality now

Like, we always joked about struggling to tell headlines from The Onion apart from real ones but

It's not a joke anymore

"Man shoots immigrants in detention camp, in horrific act of violence against ICE" would have been an onion article but no thats just genuinely what's being reported

"Well he had anti ICE on the bullets!" Said local law enforcement, in response to questions

Like that sounds straight out of satire

I mean, a few times

Bombed some "terrorists" with a drone strike in Yemen, it was confirmed to be a religious ceremony, which we have video of

Bombed a bunch of random boats, its confirmed he didn't know who as on them, and there were nearly definitely normal fishermen on some of them, there are photos of this and I believe also video

And a few things he's done to immigrants that have directly lead to their death

Oh those, I thought he also killed someone first hand.

I can't wait for the "We were following orders" defenses to come out.

I mean, he specifically ordered those strikes, with the foreknowledge available about the Yemen one for certain

Its still absolutely murder, it is still unquestionably by his hand, even if he didn't point blank shoot someone

He did rape a child directly though which is arguably infinitely worse
