It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

No one's laughing at trump's shit anymore. Anyone with at least a lukewarm iq and even a cursory knowledge of history can see his fascism. It's just the system is rigged to give regressive areas more voting power

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

explicitly told everyone that he's gonna be a dictator

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Eh, that's not what he said. Sure, yes, he said those words, but if you watch the whole thing it's clear he just can't talk like a normal person. He uses words that cause outrage because they get people riled up, and then he goes on to say what he really means. Although who knows man, he's a total liar, and nothing he says has any value anyways.

What got me about that video was the end. He said "We were doing so well. And we were coming together, and coming together, and it was a beautiful thing. And we're going to do that again.". So he personally acknowledged that we were doing well as a country, and more united, and then he came along and started tearing all that down. We've been going downhill ever since. His entire motto "make America great again" is built on a lie that he just acknowledged right here at the end of the clip. It was already great. It stopped being great when he wouldn't shut his fat fucking anus mouth.

But I can't even really evaluate the things he says without sounding like I'm contradicting myself, because the things he says are contradictory from one statement to another. Idk why I even bothered.

They don't say shit in good faith my friend. His whole thing is to say stuff that makes his followers react and exhausts anyone trying to pin him down on anything. Contrary to what anyone thinks he isn't fooling anyone. His rube followers are just happy he's upsetting everyone and wont hold him to a single thing. Everyone else is just tired of his shtick.

The GOP is done veiling their ideas and power plays but it's not like they are being honest. The political equivalent of yelling jibberish at the top of your lungs when someone asks you a simple question. Sad part is the media feeds on it somehow.

That's a very good assessment that I completely agree with.
