    I never in my lifetime thought this country could turn such a complete 180 in such a short period of time and yet here we are.

      lol, I’m at the point that I just can’t understand my fellow MAGA human who would think clean water is a bad thing anymore.

      I just can’t even stoop to the level of holding a serious conversation with them anymore at all.

    TIL that clean water is “woke”

    I better not see any anti-woke types drinking clean water!

      Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it’s got what plants crave).

          Freedom isn’t cheap but if it’s anything I’ve learned from Trump supporters is it is worth it for the brown people

          I mean to say, against the brown people, in case the racism wasn’t coming across clearly enough

      Perhaps, but before you label something insane you compare it to all the words that the Biden - and even the Obama - administrations banned.

      Oh, wait, there isn’t a list of banned words from those administrations?

    At this point we already know they have “frontotemporal dementia,” so my question is at what point do we bar them from government positions because of known brain damage?

    Maybe they already read the article, and that’s why they hate science, knowledge and free speach so much? I think it goes way deeper then that though.

    Hopefully if we come out of this alive we’ll come together and finally do something about the things we already know, and I’m not talking final solution, I’m talking about banning people with known brain damage from office, then helping them with their known problems and possibly allowing them government positions again once recovered from this nazi disease.

    Just putting this out there because these numbers give me hope that we still have a chance to move past this. Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons. still makes me hopeful though.

    Number of U.S. population 2025 = 347,276,000

    Number of votes for Trump = 77,284,118

    Number of people who didn’t vote for Trump = 269,991.882

    This translates close to 22.2543793% of the U.S. population voted for Donald Trump.

    This also translates close to 77.7456207% of the U.S. population didn’t vote for Donald Trump.

    I was the one who did the calculations… sooo maybe check my work, it’s been a long time since I had to deal with percentages, I think it’s correct though.

    Good luck, and stay safe out there.

      While your point is valid in that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump, you’re being slightly disingenuous here. Ok maybe that’s the wrong word since I don’t believe it’s malicious. But in my opinion the number of eligible voters, not the total number of US Residents is really what you should be comparing. And that number is more like 244,600,000. So while the number is still very high, it’s more like 68.4% didn’t vote for him.

        I agree, those numbers are the complete population, (not only eligible voters) that’s why I added the statement “Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons.”

        In my lifetime I haven’t known many people that would be considered left leaning that vote, yet I’m pretty sure everyone I’ve known who are conservative vote every chance they get.

        I should also point out that my view comes from someone who only ever lived in vary conservative areas in the south. Hopefully this election will finally get the left out to vote more.

        Plus ineligible and disenfranchised voters still have a voice and they still matter, hopefully many of them will use their voice as protests are dramatically on the rise now that people are starting to take a financial hit.

        So with my experience (which is subjective) the voting numbers definitely don’t represent the whole story because so many people don’t vote and many more can’t vote, so that is why the raw numbers give me some hope.

          Also only ever lived in the Bible Belt although at least near more liberal universities. And you’re right, just because they can’t vote, doesn’t mean they aren’t affected.

          And boy do I hope you’re right that this causes people to wake up.

      If you want to work as a politician it should be required to take psychological evaluations. If you have narcissistic or psychopathic tendencies, you should be barred from that. I have no problems both a rule like that

      The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we’re all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy… We’re going to need a general strike.

      I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

      Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

    What’s interesting is that other then three minor places reporting in this. Not even a comment from the democratic party. Nothing in major news publications. Nothing on CNN that I can find. Nothing on AP or NPR. I’m questioning if this is even real.

      A lot of the time major publications won’t print something like this unless it can be verified. They are probably trying to get confirmation it is real.
