    All foreign aid ended except for Israel and Egypt. In 2016 Trump campaign foundering, running out of money, Egypt "loaned" Trump a billion or so.

    Threatened Denmark with punishing tariffs and military action if they don't hand over Greenland. Is Trump planning on leaving NATO?

    Threatened Colombia. A US ally

    That's 6 days.

    Yeah I'm not a Trump voter I'm not stupid.

    The question mark is because what is happening NOW is not indicative of a better future. Anyone who thinks that it is wants the worst for people.

    Our future is fucked.

    Their biggest struggle is inability to distinguish between facts and falsehoods.
    I'd just as soon not share their struggles.

    Indicative? No. I understand your hopelessness. Nothing lasts forever.

    Tariffs would cause inflation wouldn't they? That might actually help bring the relative price of booger sugar down...

    Trump voters are having the same struggles we are? You mean the ones they created for the people they "love"? Those struggles?

    Like, I know you're not stupid, so please stop trying to talk to me like I'm stupid. I'm way too smart for that bullshit. We have common struggles as a human, yes, but to say the people who voted for Trump didn't cause all this shit... I'm not a fucking idiot.

    Every single person who voted for Trump is directly responsible for all the pain this will cause.

    What has happened in the last week and will happen for the next 4 years is directly their fault. Stop justifying their hatred for others.

    We disagree on the root cause. You are trying to sell me as Trump is the origin of all that's wrong with our country. I disagree with that. The current system and the failure of the Democratic party is what made Trump possible. Nobody else. It's not the voters fault. They voted for Biden and then he let them down and went the other way. Stop trying to deflect the responsibility of the Democratic party.

    The people of this country have been trying desperately to get a populist/change since Obama. One president after another has failed them.

    Democrats didn't read the room. They thought cozying up to the establishment was a sure winner.

    If you believe Trump is the genesis of what's wrong with this country, we disagree. No need to continue.

    You’re under the assumption that US political climate begins and ends with what’s going on in the middle east and that can’t be further from the truth.

    The average voter is oblivious to it.

    Democrats were boring institutionalists, so 77 million of us voted for the leopards-eating-faces party and then the leopards ate our faces and so it's all the Democrats fault!

    The leopards are just doing what leopards do - they can't be blamed.

    And certainly, 77 million people can't be at fault. After all, they wouldn't cut their noses off to spite their faces.

    They asked the leopards to eat their noses. Much, much different.

    No. Trump is the root cause of the things he directly causes.

    But the Dems are responsible for being shitty enough that a guy like Trump appealed to enough voters to win. Twice...

    There are numerous studies and reports indicating that if Kamala came out on the side of ceasefire she would have won. Try Googling and reading any which one of them. This is old information by now. Where have you been?

    You're so out of your depth it's hilarious.

    So the Trump voters were thinking:

    Wow, these democrats are shitty.
    But not shitty enough for me! I want someone much more shitty!

    They couldn't tell much difference that mattered to them.

    Because the Democrats have failed that hard.
