    Maybe one day people won’t have to touch the element to find out if it’s hot.

      After the war to end all wars, we thought we were done. After WWII, we said never again, but we couldn’t make it to the end of the century without multiple subsequent genocides. We clearly documented the signs of fascism and some people took it as a fucking road map.

      I hope we’re not always going to be like this, but it doesn’t look good.

    This will lower his chances for getting illegally elected for a third term by at least 10%.

      no, no, it won’t be illegal, J.D. Vance is going to be elected President, with his V.P. Trump, and then J.D. will step down right after he’s inaugurated. Nothing says a term limited president can’t run for vice president. And the 22nd amendment only says he can’t be elected as president, not that he can’t serve as president. ;-) I mean it’s the least we can do after the liberal media stole the 2020 election from him by telling the truth.

    “There are a lot of people who are being harassed for the color of their skin, and that’s not right,” said Ramirez, who broke from her Democrat-voting family to cast a ballot for Trump.

    “I’ll never go Republican again,” she said.

    Trump made inroads with Latino voters like Ramirez during the 2024 elections, earning support that helped propel him to a second term in the White House.

      I just can’t believe it worked though. It seems obvious to me that voting for Trump as a working class non-white is shooting yourself in the foot.

          It seems to work on apparently smart people too, but they lack skepticism or a critical thought process.

          Two colleagues who are amazingly intelligent fell for the propaganda, and still do. It baffles me. Even when I present facts they seem really confused.

              Either they’re finally showing their true colors, or they’re not as smart as theykeep telling you they are.

              I had one who always claimed how bright and well informed he was, bragging about how instructed his kids to always be skeptical.

              He listens to focks nooz in the car

                The guys saying they’re smart aren’t who I’m talking about here. Its the guys who I respect their intelligence except on this issue that I’m baffled by.

                Although admittedly less and less of them are still Trump supporters at this point.

                Its not them telling me they are smart, its me witnessing them grasp stuff faster than anyone I know and have massive insight into things, and yet there is this part of them that has a tremendous blind spot

        Hell even working class white makes 0 fucking sense. The guy is clearly out for 2 kids of people.

        1. People with the last name Trump.
        2. Billionaires

        If you aren’t one of those 2 very specific groups and you voted for him, you have to be one of the dumbest people on the planet. It reminds me of a George Carlin bit. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that!”
