IF ONLY WE could go back in time, not trash our 2016 and 2024 candidates. Because I just heard

KEGSBREATH or HOGSHIT is calling in 800 flag officers on Tuesday in all likelihood to get them to swear allegiance to the piece of shit.

Do you understand what this means?

I will be so fucking angry that we got here and how we got here and still people STILL fucking won’t COP to what they did.



Somebody here posted an Instagram video of someone talking about it, the way she talked about it I assume she was a former officer.

I think this is likely. He'll claim our whole country is a wartorn hellhole because of immigrants, liberals, and trans people, who are all Antifa terrorists, and only he can fix it by deploying troops in every city to crush them once and for all.

And I have yet to see one of them, ONE of them admit that doing that was wrong and contributed to this situation, amazing.

Smart voters knew it was BS, but the purity brigate amplified the "butter emails" chorus and the "rigged" lies, because they cared more for themselves (and getting revenge?) than they did for the country. That's a life-lesson of what petty selfishness and vindictiveness and pride will get ya. And now, we all pay the price for the BS lies and vanities.

We might or might not have had trump 1 in 16. But I dont thing 24 would have changed if we just went back to that one.

Starting from the top, the people who voiced off and voted (or skipped voting) based on race, age, and gender wont be changing their votes for anything as minimal as the collapse of society or world downturn. If anything, I think more of the wealthy and powerful people would jump in earlier to be seen supporting a "winner". Meanwhile, Im still not convinced it was a free and fair election, and going back in time wouldnt fix that either.
