    Republican administration completely fucks up the budget, leaves office with massive deficit

    Democrat administration spends the next 4 years cleaning up that clusterfuck

    GOP tells it’s dumbfuck base that it’s all the Dems fault that their 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 gets 8 mpg and they’re gonna fix everything

    Dumbfuck republican voters fall for it, yet again, because they never passed the 9th grade and have been huffing diesel exhaust for the past 20 years

    Dumbfuck masses rally and vote in another Republican administration

    That cycle has gone on repeat over and over and over again for literally my entire lifetime. It’s all I know. That has been my experience with with the US government, for my whole life.

    I’m tired, boss.

      Maybe if more people showed up and voted instead of bitching about the choices available, we wouldn’t get a broligarch blowing republican in office every 4-8 years. Less than 70% of voters ever show up, so those of us who don’t show up are also responsible for letting the republicans win every other cycle or so.

      Dumbfucks will always dumbfuck. Trick is to get the voters who stayed home. The numbers I found with a quick search …

      Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote.

      Of the 65.3% of the eligible voters who voted.

      Which means actually only 32.5% of Americans voted for him, in the sense of “could be arsed to get off the couch and cast a ballot”.

      That’s an encouraging number to work with.

      assume the dems are going to get in, given the recent events i dont see how some of them will get elected, with people like schumer/hakeems and the other dinos, NEWSOM is pretty unattractive right now . they are complicit to the GOP agenda, only AOC, bernie, and maybe some other is fighting it.

      are people even going to remember what hakeem and schumer did in the next election, who they tried to shield when voting for the shutdown.
