For the first time in history, after even a triumphant Washington refused to be treated as a king, all the power of the US government was handed to a single individual ...

... and he's a fucking idiot who can barely read. Great job patriots 👍

Idiot, yes but at least he's not a child rapist who was best friends with a convicted human trafficking paedo for about 2 decades. And who had many, so so maaaaany failed businesses. Who was a reality TV star in a real shitty TV show. And has over 30 recent felony convictions plus numerous fines for numerous cons over the years. And was judged to have raped E Jean Carroll. Who also tried to spearhead an insurrection whilst simultaneously stealing top secret documents to sell to hostile countries or give to his boss putin!!

Because yhe 'murican population would never vote that type of person in, TWICE, would they?
Oh, wait...

Seriously at least make it a smart fascist. I get that he is just a set up for vance, but even vance is such an unbelievable pussy. Hitler and Mussolini did some time using the military. Stalin and Sadam at least acted as violent thugs for their party and did a bunch of actual crimes before taking over. Vance feels like just a guy this orange dipshit picked.

If you asked me what I thought of Americans, he’s the perfect example.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

There was a time when i would take offense to that

Stop being a xenophobic dick, please.

No no. They've got a point. Just because it's not all Americans, doesn't mean it's not indicative of the majority of voting Americans.

I think we kinda deserve it right now. Want the insults to stop? Maybe we should take a note from other countries that have had dictators and do something about it. Fast.
