Special councils, Congress, the courts, Democrats, media and the plurality of voters did not save us from him. But biology is inevitable.
Because most people are either dumb or uninformed. And that's who swung the election. I'm not saying that all Trump voters are dumb or uninformed. But that's who made the difference and swung the election. Politicians are always targeting demographics in their campaigns: suburban women, white men without a college degree, the under 25 crowd that never voted before, yada, yada, yada, etc., etc.

The lunatic went after the moron people demographic. It was a brilliant move because there's more of them than any other group. Ever hear the saying about how life is so hard and difficult and unfair and that the last thing you wanna do is to let a stupid fucking person get so close to you, get their hooks into you that they drag you down and your life with them? Ever hear that one? Well that's what fucking happened. The morons of America put this grifting, lying, deranged crook into the White House. The madman won the imbecile vote.

In light of the declaration that "there are only two genders", I would ask someone who has a married gay son or daughter how they would feel if the marriage were to be nullified and what should happen to their grandchildren.

What does true gender issues have to do with gay and/or lesbian
second-generation family members or marriage nullification?

I agree. "Only one gender" really only targets people who consider themselves non-binary. Even many trans people identify with one gender or the other.

In one of his early speeches on the matter of sexuality, he said he might make homosexual marriages illegal.
I'm not sure if that was to satisfy his socially conservative followers but I fear the proclamation that there are only two sexes is the first step on the slippery slope toward that.
And I have a woman in my office who was an early and avid follower of MAGA. She has a married lesbian daughter who has (at least) one child. I haven't asked her the "what if?" question, but one of my co-workers did. It was met with a dumb grin and no verbal response. I haven't been back to the office since COVID but I wonder how she would react today.

And now he’s pulling back (illegally, of course) as much of bidens infrastructure spending as he can get his claws into. Well, at least he’s trying to. Congress controls the purse strings, until the sotus makes an exception for trump that is.

I wonder how happy this makes trumpists about all the less spending and blue collar jobs spread throughout those red states in the middle.

It’s so great, innit?

Netflix beat their 4th quarter revenue goals and have record subscriber numbers, so obviously their next step was to raise prices.

Anyone who thinks Trump was ever going to lower prices or keep them the same on most anything they purchase does not understand how a capitalist society works.

Like they fucking know. If they understood and appreciated what Biden did for them in the first place, they would've voted for him. But they're brainwashed idiots and they're gonna get what they deserve. Can't wait for these imbeciles to lose their shirts when their Trump crytpo money tanks. Trump won't lose his shirt, though. He'll get paid before it tanks. Stupid suckers.

It's probably not going to tank anytime soon. I imagine overseas investors looking to influence or control US policy through the presiddent will keep it inflated at least for the next two years, and his legal Ponzi scheme will actually work as a front for an illegal money laundering scheme.

Unless somebody steps up.
