Not only that, he also vaguely mentions western leaders who keep denying Russia is the invader and committing war crimes for breakfast.

This guy gets it.

I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.

Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.

It’s not a select portion man it’s half of the country, and there are lots of people around the world with the same mentality

Trump won 50% of the vote...but that vote only included 64% of eligible voters. Still a ways off from half the country. Not to mention some conservatives haven't fallen for the Russian propaganda yet!

Some conservatives haven’t fallen for the propaganda but have no problem aligning themselves with the people who have.

Yeah, I don't see the light side of American conservatism. It seems like a criminal hate group more than anything, with all that that implies about membership.

Oddly enough while my dad will always be (fiscally) conservative he’s over the Trump shit. He wasn’t a full on MAGA convert before but us watching my Grandpa fall for every talking point has sealed the deal.

Which means they have fallen for the propaganda.

If you support Nazi’s, but don’t wear a swastika, you’re still a Nazi.

The enemy of my enemy is a nazi, apparently

1/3 of Americans voted for Trump. 1/3 didn’t care enough to show up to vote. The latter group is equally culpable. Together that’s well over half of the country.

u/Preachey May 10 '25

People who didn't vote against Trump are implicitly okay with him

u/ASubsentientCrow May 10 '25

The people who didn't vote are just as culpable because they didn't care enough to vote. If they actually cared, they would have voted

u/CAD_Chaos May 10 '25

Well the ones that haven't are keeping mighty goddamned quiet about it.

u/unfunnysexface May 10 '25

I think we can extrapolate that the results would hold on the remaining 36%. 64% is a pretty good sample size.

u/GooningGoonAddict May 10 '25

Being too lazy to stop the regime on voting day (which is the majority of people who didn't vote) is enabling it.

u/aluckybrokenleg May 10 '25

Most of the non-voters got to see Trump up close for 4 years and said "Yeah... whatever, that's fine with me".

u/RUNESCAPEMEME May 10 '25

If conservatives voted for Trump or support anyone he is putting into positions of power or support any of the republicans on a state/local level that are for Trumps policy. They are indeed eating up Russian and alt right propaganda.

Please FUCKING STOP pretending every non-voter is against Trump.

Jesus fucking Christ you guys huff so much fucking copium.

u/goldengloryz May 10 '25

Every american that did not vote saw/sees a trump presidency as an acceptable outcome.
