      Initially: Thank god we can finally stop pretending Trump is a real candidate

      Moments later: Oh, oh no

      Ten years later: What what what oh shit oh fuck

      I have repeated this story numerous times.

      After that tape came out, a conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump.

      One of the panelists kept using the phrase ‘pussy.’

      The conservative woman asked her to please stop using that offensive term.

      As a PoC we kinda just go with the flow. Got a few scattered family members that support him for his regressive values but its very few and far between. For white people, I can only imagine, entire families must have had a schism put through them.

    Honestly, this should’ve been the end of it. No sane country would elect someone that said this as their president

      As well as when he made fun of the journalist who was in a wheelchair. I remember seeing that and I thought it was completely over for him, but no.

      A significant portion of American voters: “Heh, NICE! I wish I was famous.”

          I hate to be the one to tell you, but the moral timber of the a lot of American voters is infested with selfishness and a lust for hurting others with impunity. And while good people stay home, the selfish always vote.

      It really should have been. The “conservatives” are not religious or conservative, they are disgusting. The “conservative” republican party is way WAY too liberal for my tastes. We should start calling republicans the “libs”, because they are.

        You sound like someone who still believes a party what doesn’t blab about it’s cruelties, wrongdoing and stupidity is a party that is innocent and good. Haha, good one. Who has been the opponent of trump the first time around in 2016, Hillary Clinton, right? Personally I always welcomed trumps presidency. Thanks to him the whole world can see what a farce our democracies are (and it’s not only the MAGAs I talk about). And as Europeans it enabled us to distance ourselves more easily from the forced western dependency/decadency. I just don’t know what’s better: being a US colony as before or the recent stupidity, having a straight-from-BlackRock-lobbyist as a chancellor… Darn, and that’s one of the reason why people become more and more aggressive while becoming decreasingly tolerant to differing world views…

    Trying to remember the sound of the recording because I’ll never get over how “I moved on her like a bitch” does not read the way he intended

    Remember when Christians called for Clinton to resign because he was unfit to be president because he got a BJ from an intern? Those same Christians voted for Trump.

        Absolutely true. However, it hardly looks any better for Democrats. Bill Clinton is barely any better than Trump, and yet he is still revered in party circles.

        Also, Democratic party elites have yet to back Mamdani in NY which is defacto support for Cuomo who has the same kind of track record.

        This isn’t a Republican problem, it’s a wealthy elites problem.

      All of it is about control, it has nothing to do with logic. If you understand this, fighting these idiots becomes much easier. You’re not dealing with reasonable adults, you’re dealing with a bunch of giant upset babies that don’t want to get sent to their room.

    That image of text that breaks accessibility, searchability, & fault tolerance for no compelling reason while making the web less usable would have been far better as proper text.

      To be fair something can be said about allowing formatting. For this the added value is little though, and it would’ve been better if an alt text was provided

      Totally agree with you. The web was literally designed to share text easily and here we are sharing images of text in 2025. What’s the fault tolerance aspect though?

    Lunatics will have insane ideas, that’s a given. It gets dangerous when lunatics get other people on board however.

    Edit: also the amount of billionaire cocksucking many Americans do is genuinely creepy. No cap.
