This was made the first time Trump won. Depressing that nothing has changed.

No but you don't understand nobody saw this coming, it's not like we had to, god forbid, change things now, did we?

Unfortunately the political situation in the US was completely unpredictable 😔

It seems to me, the only thing that was really unpredictable is that so many people were surprised at the outcome.

Trump has said exactly was his plans are, and what he intends to do. Yet, plenty of people are still taking his side.

Only difference is that all the grownups that were keeping him in check have all quit or been fired.

Trump has said exactly was his plans are, and what he intends to do.

His concepts of a plan? I agree he's made it clear what he's doing to do for anyone paying attention but it's rarely what he said he'll do

Look, democrats didn't run a perfect campaign. So people had to not vote against fascism!

only adding $1t to the deficit and only taking health care away from 13 million? come on, those is rookie numbers.

"Dear Lord, we thank you for nothing as we don't actually believe in you, we use your name to progress our cause. Blessed be the billionaire for he bestows onto me his blessings of wealth as I do his bidding here on earth as it is in his vision. He leads not into utopia, but dystopia for all but us and himself. Amen."

“Wait, I thought we were also going to make quac, beer, wine, and trucks more expensive?”

I think this is supposed to be funny because the implication is that it's hypocritical.

It's not hypocritical.

Hippocampus

I mean, it is if they claim to be Christian, and they hilariously do.

The Jesus "Filthy Commie" Christ of the New Testament was very specific about what the Christian God thought about reveling in greed, being exclusionary to immigrants, being cruel to your neighbors, hating the needy, on and on.

They are hypocrites in this scenario, at least if words still have meaning. They play opposite day with their own book... Every single day.

At least libertarians are honest, they say fuck everyone who isn't them, screw others over if you can, and ha ha ha. Largely the same policy positions as Republicans, without Nega-Jesus and his supply side blessings as a stand in for having morals.

Seems like you're equating "Christian" with "good."

I don't.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I don't either. I'm an atheist, though I was raised "Christian," and most self professed Christians aren't Christians, they're "Christians."

It's not about a No True Scotsman fallacy. They have a book. A rule book. A value book. A book that declares it supercedes the previous book on how to live your life if you want to be part of the Trinity's flock.

I see no mass movement of any self-identified Christian denomination that rejects the teachings of that book directly in favor of another book or source, yet very few identified American "Christians" even seem to attempt to follow those teachings, and it's not about trying but falling short of them, most of them seem to revel in living the opposite of those teachings all of the time.

Dear Lord Jeebuz, please only let people with a net worth of 6 figures or less get murdered on this blessed day.
