    Just a trump. Apparently shoving every dollar he can grift into his fat gob isn‘t enough, he has to destroy everyone else‘s accomplisments or monuments so he doesn‘t have to be reminded he is a failure and a POS. He has to grift monuments for himself instead of people making them for him in appreciation.

    We knew what he was when he was elected. He’s been a public figure since the 80s, decades of dirtbag, he’s always been vile. There’s no one who represents the USA “executive class” better than Trump.

    He was the man America celebrated for over 40 years, with best-selling ghostwritten books, talk show circuit, front page news, cover of GQ and Playboy, prime-time WWF wrestling star, blockbuster film cameo, popular major network show, and so on.

    He is America’s Monster , all of our worst traits combined into one abomination. The perfect President for a long-corrupt and decaying empire.

          As a malignant narcissist, it’s totally expected that he’ll try to sully the memory or reputation of anyone he perceives people like more than him. Being assassinated definitely played a role in how highly they’re regarded

            Meh, no one really gives a shit about McKinley or Garfield. I’d wager that a majority of Americans don’t even know they were assassinated. Both Lincoln and Kennedy are famously connected to major advances in social progress, it makes sense people would hold them in higher regard than presidents that led less popularly-considered successful administrations.

      Its a legacy thing. He knows he can’t cheat death and he wants to be remembered.

      It won’t work.

      Even if some great fascist leader emerged from the vacuum he leaves, they will blame the coming shitpocalypse on Trump. Frankly he deserves the blame, but my point is neither side of politics is going to remember him fondly.

      I never saw anyone here saying that Trump would be better. Also, the idea that either lost because of their “happiness and laughter” ignores all of the death and destruction they promised to bring.

      Maybe they should have tried being popular candidates, and running on popular policies.

          No, she helped put imigrants and people who smoked weed behind bars. They are both pro war, pro genocide, anti labor, pro big corporation, pro torture, etc. Not only are they in the same ballpark, they are playing for the same team. I never said they are the same, but they sure are similar.

            Because of 1 issue… Israel (and yeah, we’ll ignore the fact she was a public prosecutor that fought to put shitty people behind bars)

            Trump?

            1. Determined to be a rapist
            2. Tax fraud
            3. Tried to overthrow the government
            4. Had MANY rape allegations against him
            5. Had made many public racist statements.
            6. And, he still supported Israel

            If Trump was in the military, he would be committing war crimes (oh wait, he’s doing that now), and raping civilians (he did that too)

            Whereas, at least Kamala spent her life as a public prosecutor. It could be argued she did a lot of good too. Trump has ALWAYS been evil, and has never done anything that helped anyone except himself

            Even if you include Israel, Trump was still infinitely worse at that point, and it was CLEAR you’d be voting in a rapist if you didn’t vote against him

              I like how not voting for genocide is supporting a rapist, but voting for kamala isn’t support for a genocide.

              Most of USA is doing nothing serious to oust Trump, does that mean you support Trump? No?

              It’s mighty convenient when you use others inaction to justify hate against them, but it doesn’t work the same way for your own inactions, isn’t it?

              The few protestors are keeping some shred of hope in humanity alive in the area. But everyone would have been against it in the future and they’ll claim it as “American values” like the majority of people weren’t spineless people stealing valor.

              You people are a lost cause and the faux morality rhetoric you bring up defend your side no matter what, is what led to evil vs worse evil scenario.

              And you’ll always be dumb founded to figure how it got there.

              I’m not here to say don’t vote, VOTE. Voting is the most basic thing a person needs to do, but when the whole system you’ve propped up is rotten and without consequences, don’t act offended when the whole world sees you for the war criminals and genocide apologists you are.

              Because of 1 issue… Israel

              No, for plenty of issues:

              • Supported a rapist
              • Pro war
              • Pro ICE
              • Throwing Trans people under the bus
              • Throwing marijuana users in prison, then laughed about smoking herself
              • Pro Torture
              • etc

              Harris openly sold people out, lied, and betrayed the people who supported her. I never said Trump wasn’t bad, so I dunno where you got that from, but Harris was also bad. He’s not “infinitely” worse, he’s slightly worse.

              And yes, it was clear that you’d be voting for a rapist if you didn’t vote against him. But it was also clear that you’d be supporting a rapist if you supported Biden, and she had no problem doing that.

              Also, I can’t remember if he was suspected of being a pedo too before the election… But, I recall that it was already strongly suspected at that point, as they were friends. And, he had claimed he’d “release the files” (everyone suspected he was in them)

                Oh yeah, he had already said that he would rape children as young as 13, and he was known for hanging out with human traffickers. It was pretty easy to put two and two together.

          So she had to support genocide because otherwise people like me would have found some other way to attack her? Do you have any basis for that assertion? Again, you don’t know how I voted.

          I only posted because your post shows you think thousands of dead children is trivial compared to Trump putting his name on a monument.

          And what are you claiming that Trump done at that point that was beyond that Israel?

            1. January 6th for starters
            2. He was convicted of tax fraud before the election
            3. He was determined by courts to be a rapist (E Jean carroll) before the election.
            4. He had MANY other rape allegations against him
            5. He claimed foreigners were “eating dogs and cats” (which was clearly BS)

            I’d argue that a guy who was determined to be a rapist by courts, convicted of tax fraud, suspected of being a pedophile, attempted to overthrow the government is worse. It doesn’t even matter where you stand on the israel issue. This guy preys on women. Kamala was wrong for supporting israel imho, but, the two aren’t even remotely in the same ballpark. Trump is pure evil and has always been

            If he qualified for the military, he’d be the first to commit war crimes (which he’s now doing), and attacking civilians (which he did do)

              You didn’t answer my first point at all.

              And your list still pales in comparison to what Israel had already done by that point.

              Of course Trump is far worse, I’ve never said otherwise. At least you agree that Kamala was wrong to supporting Israel, which is very different than your original post.

        If she went hard against Israel, she’d have lost a lot of voters. This was before most people recognized that Israel really went off the deep end. And she would have lost a ton of funding that was needed for advertising to combat all the right wing bs and foreign interference that effectively got the likes of you to vote against her.

          You have no idea how I voted. Op suggested that people didn’t vote for her for trivial reasons, which trivialises the real documented reason of expressly supporting a genocide.

          Well, she didn’t have to go “hard against Israel”. She could have just gone hard against genocide, which was the popular position at the time. Also, how helpful did that funding end up being in the end? Doesn’t seem like it was worth it.

            I’m pretty sure she was against genocide - she just didn’t apply that term to what was happening in Israel at the time.
            Clearly the funding wasn’t enough. So instead we got the orange moron who encouraged Netanyahu to flatten Gaza and put up trump casinos. yay for that win, I guess.

              If she was against genocide, why didn’t she say that? There were a lot of people asking her to. In fact, she lied about Biden trying to stop the genocide, and never spoke out against it when she had the chance.
