This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.
Nahhh... we're pretty fucking disappointed... Least everyone I know with half a brain.
I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.
Time to start beating your wife, she’s actively asking for it. If she’s your ex make sure to remind her that project 2025 wants to make her existence illegal.
I think it's revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).
Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.
It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.
What will they think when those things don't happen? Some conspiracy shit?
It’s those brown people in Iran! We better start another 20 year invasion!
Cognitive dissonance - They'll find some way to blame it on Biden/Harris/Newsom/Pelosi.
"Thanks, Obama!"
Biden will be taking the blame for all the problems over the next couple of years.
And Trump will take credit for the good policies that Biden implemented, if he manages to not fuck it up.
Honestly, in my social circle we're all kinda treating it like this... strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can't even really joke about it, still. It's like we all know it's gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it's going to be. There's a lot I'm hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that's a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.
Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

then I remember that trump... what? I'm also "a foreigner" (meaning I don't live in the shithole known as the US), but that's an incomplete sentence
I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.
I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.
Welcome to Walmart. I love you.
I gave you an upvote because it is on point. I want to down vote you because I don't want to live on that planet and its looking more and more like we will be that planet.
The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.
I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.
The taxpayer doesn't pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.

Didn't look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan's reaction is in that one.
Saving this picture, in case I ever eat something poisonous i can use it to throw up immediately.
Strap the fuck in, American people of the Fediverse. This table of lunatics is about to make your lives much harder and more dangerous.
Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.
We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.
Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.
Yeah, climate change is global.
what ever happened to jd vance? rarely see that guy these days
JD Vance is busy preparing for the implementation of Project 2025 while this clown car is busy pWnInG tHe LiBz.
Nightmare blunt rotation
I mean, at least there’s a bunch of fries available.
Not a single sauce opened, no bites taken, nothing removed from an annoying tray lip and placed on the table like a real person. No sign whatsoever that they are actually eating this junk. The half eaten fries are staged as eating without the ketchup that is right there on the tray is quite unlikely.
This is a staged ad. It is meant to be a message to others in corporate America, and for marketing to convenient idiots to quote the Russian term.
McDonald’s Unhappy Meal
Fun fact: RFK jr plans to ban most of the ingredients of the junk food he is currently eating
“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he said on [a] podcast, in an episode that aired Tuesday. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. You have a choice between—you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”
-- RFK Jr. a few days ago
Edit: to be fair, his expression in this picture does make him look more than a little disgusted
Oh my god for a second there I almost felt empathy for him. The feeling passed quickly though.
