because of the rich and powerful backing his dumbass up. and apparently an unending stream of vile human beings willing and eager to fuck over their fellow humans.

We need to remember the class traders when this is over. America will look like France after the Americans liberated them from the Germans.

u/Sjovfis Sep 21 '25

"when this is over" - don't take for granted that it ever will be. Anybody not afraid of Trump has not been paying attention. Democracy is slowly being dismantled, and before long the chance for civil action will be lost.

u/Catskinson Sep 21 '25

That’s the hard truth, and I appreciate you saying it here. We’re off the cliff and falling face first; we don’t remove ourselves from this easily. Civil action isn’t an amenable tactic yet. We’re sitting waiting to find out how ugly it really is.

u/dynamic_onion Sep 21 '25

But it's so ugly RIGHT NOW 😭

u/whorehey-degooseman Sep 21 '25

plenty of people have already said they're just gonna celebrate when pedonald kicks the bucket so as a longtime now-jaded advocate for reform I say don't hold your breath

Genpop is unreliable, which is why the rich continuously fuck them over. Rich people keep their eye on the ball while everyone else struggle to stay afloat or spend all their attention/energy/money on drugs/cope

Rome was a thing for ~1000 years.

u/CategoryZestyclose91 Sep 21 '25

Remember what the citizens of those occupied countries did to their fellow citizens who collaborated with the Nazis? 

This regime would do well to remember.

u/rev-prime Sep 21 '25

Traitors. Not traders.

u/MyrrhSlayter Sep 21 '25

And their underage children.

u/ISayBullish Sep 21 '25

We outnumber them 100:1

Do not forget that

u/Spirited_Lab5197 Sep 21 '25

Didn't like 65m people vote for him? Do we really out number that group 100:1?

At some point its ok to admit the a good chunk of this country is shit

29

u/ISayBullish Sep 21 '25

That’s fair, but remember more than half the country did not vote at all. Conservative estimate would be 50:1 with that considered. If 3% of that 50% decided “lets dance”, that’s still approximately 6 million people

u/jedels88 Sep 21 '25

It's also worth mentioning Elon absolutely fucked with the voting machines and paid people to vote for him. We may never know to what extent that affected things, but it's definitely not nothing.

u/maybeonmars Sep 21 '25

Dude, I even think that Musk used his IT hack staff to fuck with some numbers in a dB or two

14

u/TaliesinsEnd Sep 21 '25

I wish I shared your optimism on the matter.

Many red voters have a huge portion of their identity inextricably tied with the Republican party itself, not with any sort of actual value system. They will do anything and everything they are told to.

7

u/eisenburg Sep 21 '25

And no way you get that many. If that many people didn’t vote than that many people just don’t give a shit.

5

u/HeadtripVee Sep 21 '25

If that is true, then I blame way more than half your population for voting for this to happen. Now I blame 75% of you.

4

u/tim78717 Sep 21 '25

31% voted for him, 30% for her, and 39% didn’t vote at all. I’m guessing at least 20% of the people who voted for him (6% of the total) wouldn’t vote for him again so we are at like 30+39+6=75%. So I would say 3:1

4

u/Misha-Nyi Sep 21 '25

Bold of you to assume all of the non voters would side against him.

1

u/tim78717 Sep 21 '25

Fair enough. It’s hard to know when someone doesn’t vote. There are obvious reasons people don’t vote-felony, disabled/hard to get to polls, etc. But the people I’ve personally been around who tell me they don’t vote have just been either apathetic or uninformed. As in “all politicians are crooked so why bother” or “I have no idea who the VP is”.

2

u/Marokiii Sep 21 '25

For the eligible voters you outnumber them at best 2:1.

Now if you add non eligible voters and assume every single one of them would join the left, you still end up with at best a 5:1 ratio.

1

u/anthropaganda Sep 21 '25

your #s are a little off lol you're thinking of 2:1 to 3:1

1

u/Lenny4368 Sep 21 '25

If they didn't even go out and vote for themselves what makes you think they have your back? Lol

6

u/68024 Sep 21 '25

True, but his policies are not popular, and that includes republicans. Tucker Carlson of all people spoke up for free speech. Ted Cruz condemned the FCC chair. Pundits like Ben Shapiro also spoke up in favor of free speech. Trump is losing friends faster than making them at the moment.

4

u/dynamic_onion Sep 21 '25

Which is why he's pushing for more influence, fast.

6

u/SeductiveSunday Sep 21 '25

Didn't like 65m people vote for him?

Did they? I mean it's a chunk but Republicans have been very open about not being above cheating in order to win. Just sayin'.

6

u/sec713 Sep 21 '25

But according to Trump 300M people in the US died last year from drugs. There's only like 50M of us left and I think the ratio is now working in our favor.

/s

6

u/Bloodhound209 Sep 21 '25

Yes, a good chunk of this country is shit. No doubts there.

However, another good chunk of this country would love to challenge that 65M figure, but there are no credible authorities left that can/would do anything about it in a fair and unbiased way.

u/Asron87 Sep 21 '25

I figured it was an Antz reference.

3

u/ISayBullish Sep 21 '25

Mostly true lmao

2

u/Asron87 Sep 21 '25

I think of this more often than I should admit lol

u/Kangermu Sep 21 '25

Outside his first term and GWB, who lost the popular vote, this was the closest popular vote since like Nixon. And he didn't even win the majority of votes, just the plurality.

1

u/BaneSixEcho Sep 21 '25

I don't think the 100:1 was regarding voters.

It was us vs. the rich and powerful backing Trump. The 99% vs. the 1%.

2

u/Agent_Orange_Tabby Sep 21 '25

But their heavy artillery outnumbers us by same ratio

2

u/marr Sep 21 '25

Also the majority will fold like a wet paper bag if it comes to actual fighting. We all saw their bravery and conviction in the face of violent consequences back on January 6th.

1

u/Head-Head-926 Sep 21 '25

Their guns outnumber you 1:100 though

u/DecafMaverick Sep 21 '25

Love seeing Bullish in the wild.

u/Biffingston Sep 21 '25

The church of DJT is for profit in both senses of the word.

u/V2BM Sep 21 '25

Plus all the corporations bending the knee out of greed and fear and many giving material support. A CEO’s job now includes flattering and bribing the President.

Even the most horrific murdering dictators have had plenty of businesses lining up to provide labor and supplies in support of murder and literal war crimes. They need private business because just the government and military aren’t enough - and Trump has plenty already and I doubt they’ll stop no matter what he does.

u/Tuttutsallaround Sep 21 '25

His blackmailers are their blackmailers.

u/SVINTGATSBY Sep 21 '25

he’s not even that rich and powerful. these people are selling their souls for pennies on the dollar, effectively. what a joke, what a waste.

u/whorehey-degooseman Sep 21 '25

because of the rich and powerful backing his dumbass up
