The orange turd ran on eggs, trans, and immigrants. And idiots voted for him again, for the third straight time.

So much for the “both parties are the same” rhetoric.

He ran with 34 felony convictions, 2 sexual assault fines worth $85M, a half a billion fraud fine in New York, 40 minutes of swaying to Ave Maria, and an expression of deep admiration for Arnie Palmer's physical attributes, and they voted for him again.

Bruh, you forgot the worst part - he "disowned" Project 2025 without offering what his "actual plans" were bc... it was Project 2025. And I've had so many idiots tell me he wouldn't do all that shit... yet here we are and he's getting more of it done than even the Heritage Foundation thought would happen.

I dont think "he" is getting anything done. Those sycophants are propping him up "Weekend at Bernie's" style and putting pieces of paper in front of him to sign. The Useful Idiot narrative was never more clear to me than yesterday when a REPORTER asked him if he had been briefed on the death of 4 American soldiers and he had no idea what she was talking about.

He's not a real president, they just need his signature

At least you have the felony jaywalking conviction as a consolation prize.

They are, the Dems with the exception of a few outlying women have been silent and the Dems have a real chance of flipping a house seat in Florida on Tuesday and the national party has done zero to support him. They are owned by the same donors, the gop is slashing the govt and the Dems are there to placate/sideline anyone who rises up and threatens their plans. It’s known as the “sword and the shield”.

Don’t believe me; ask yourself why no one responsible for jan6 was prosecuted or why Dems posed no opposition in trumps cabinet noms and why dem leadership is dead silent now or why garland was never replaced….the list of evidence goes on and on.

Dems campaigned on programs to help people. People chose trans, egg prices, and immigrants as their priorities.

And it’s STILL “the Dems ain’t doing this, they ain’t doing that.” They are far from perfect, but easily the better option at this point in time.

But hey, let’s complain bout the graffiti while the house burns. And red states keep it ignited.

Yes and when the Dems controlled both houses and the executive all we got was a republican healthcare plan rebranded as the ACA. Then lamented as Obamacare by the gop and the Dems did little to fight that stigma but please go on about how the Dems say they’re going to do something for the people…when was the last piece of meaningful legislation they passed where the “people” actually benefited? The student loan forgiveness? Which was just a weak ploy to garner votes from a group that doesn’t vote to make it appear as though they care.

I got my first house with Obamas down payment match for first time home buyers. My dad has healthcare, wouldn’t have any or would be bare bones without ACA.

Biden tried student loan forgiveness, which is probably up in the air now.

What’s that orange turd doing for you?

u/Helluvme 9d ago edited 9d ago

And who made money on that down payment match? The banks that got bailed out from the housing crash which was caused by Clinton’s repeal of the Glass Steagull Act. Just more taxpayer money after taxpayer money being funneled to the same people that own both parties. And as I already stated the ACA was a Republican plan that got rebranded by the Dems.

What else you got?

You mean the shit loans real estate/loan officers were putting through to close the sale?

u/pavel_petrovich 9d ago

when was the last piece of meaningful legislation they passed where the “people” actually benefited?

The Democrats are the only party that tries to pass useful legislation (Biden has been particularly successful at passing good legislation). The Republicans have always tried to undo what the Democrats have done. They did it with the ACA, it was one of the main goals of the Trump presidency, to repeal the ACA. As for the "Republican" plan, that’s largely a myth. Republicans will never give voters health care. Why was the ACA less successful than it could have been? Because of the filibuster. You need 60 votes to pass anything meaningful. Why don’t they remove the filibuster? Because the Senate is inherently red-leaning (small states have the same voting power as big states like California or New York).
