It was painfully obvious that Agolf $hitler is a con artist, a thief, and a believer in the idea that might makes right. He's in no way qualified for the job.
Twice this country had the opportunity to vote for two highly qualified women. Misogyny resulted in the rejection of both and the election of a bully and con man who is using the country as his personal cash box for in your face corruption and the destruction of our democracy for his Project 2025 donor/owners.
I refuse to let the real culprits off the hook, which is the Republican party and everyone who votes or has voted for their agenda, going back to at least the 1960's, and the people who are not honest enough to admit their racism, classism, and misogyny, which they use as an excuse to vote for anyone other than Democrats.
I have quoted the late author, Terry Pratchett many times since the election of this maladministration: " poison goes where poison is welcome ". People who voted for this monster, or voted a protest vote, or didn't bother? They own the results.
I will give a big portion of the blame for the spread of propaganda, misinformation, and sane washing Dump's insanity totheMcGreedia, but I don't have a fancy education. I had a few scattered college classes, but nothing that amounted to any kind of degree. My parents weren't college educated and were middle of the road on politics and my dad voted Republican for his whole life. He died before Traitor ran for office.
Inspite of all that, I managed to grow up with my head on straight and an ability to be informed even while working very long hours at a low wage job. I even did the multiple jobs tap dance at different times in my life.
If I could see through the con of the Donvict, then so could other people, if they chose to make the effort. I am not letting them off the hook for being responsible for their choices. Blaming the outcome on Joe Biden is bull$hit. The choice was crystal clear and could not have been clearer. I am not buying this.
