    Because I’m not mad about it. In fact, a LOT of the country isn’t mad about it. That’s how and why Trump won the election.

    Lemmy needs to come to terms with the fact that Lemmy’s opinions are not the majority right now.

        I’m not in trouble at all. I’m financially independent, in a rural town, with my own place and land, and I don’t work for anyone.

        And I also know that you the world isn’t going to end just because Trump is president. You all just doomscroll all day. Go outside. No one takes this as seriously as Lemmy does. lol

              What do you like most? The rampant corruption, the oligarchs siphoning money directly out of your taxes, the farmers being hurt and some who are yet to know it, or just the growth of racism and sexism brought on by this?

              Number of working class people hurt: millions Number of billionaires helped, hundreds Number of idiots who think the trickle down effect works: To many illiterate people. Helping China and Russia daily.

              Mothers of our kids and those kids, hurt daily. Enjoy yourself. But everything I said is true and some day maybe you’ll see it. Until then, your ignorance is bliss

                All that happened before Trump took office. You think this just started in the last month or so?! lmao

                Were you this angry when Biden was in office and did nothing to help you?

          You think you’re in the clear and you’re cool with Trump and all. But there’s one thing I know: the minute he wrongs you - be it your tax return check not being mailed because the IRS is in shambles, or the water at your tap tasting like shit because the EPA is in shambles and someone started fracking in your area, or ICE invading your property because someone told them you’re harboring illegal migrants… you’ll become the most ardent Trump hater.

          It’s always the same with evangelists: all it takes is one little thing and they flip so hard they become rabid haters of what they used to believe in.

            None of that is gonna happen. I’m not worried. You have a chance to vote for some democrat next election. Do do that. I like Trump.

    I challenge your premise: They are mad. Not all of them, but plenty of people are upset and angry. More to follow the way things are going: The worse things get, the angrier they’ll get.

          Oh so angry. I’m going to go to work and do my masters bidding tomorrow I’m so angry!

          Those guys killed in slave uprisings must have been fucking cool as shit. Imagin how hard it must of been to stand up to these very same bullies, in heart, mind, and spirit, back then.

            Humanity has been living in absolute monarchies for like 2000+ years, and they were angry about their life, but most of the times, people don’t rise up against their monarchs.

            Ever wondered why?

            Now sprinkle a bit of “freedom”, just enough to keep people content, so now the choice is:

            Revolt and probably die

            Or

            “Wait until the next election” (if there even is a next election, most people just hope that there is)

            And don’t say “go protest”, think about it: you stop showing up to work and go to a protest, you lose your job, and since most people rent, so they eventually get evicted, now you are on the street, dealing with extreme cold / extreme heat (depending on the season), you are hungry, fascist cops harass you for being homeless. Yea, its easy to romanticize revolution, but just put yourself in the shoes of the average person.

            As corrupt as the elections can be, they are the only way to try to change things, that doesn’t involve getting yourself killed (or jailed and tortured).

            (If the government actually cancels elections or declares martial law, then maybe we can get a revolution)
