Simply put, Trumpf is America's Godzilla.



Salon writes: 'Trumpf's First Week: "Designed to destroy the US from within."

During the first ten days of his second term, Trumpf's dozens of executive orders and edicts have included "freeing virtually all of his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, attempting to nullify the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship, declaring a national emergency on the US-Mexico border, launching nationwide raids against undocumented immigrants and their communities as part of 'the largest deportation plan in American history,' escalating attacks on the LGBTQ community, closing down government programs and offices focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, withdrawing from both the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accord, and throwing out many other changes made by the Biden administration regarding the environment, the economy, education and other areas."


As well as handing over the government to gluttonous oligarch racist Elon Musk and his DOGE and firing dedicated FBI agents who protected our country.

If you want a monster metaphor, Trump, Musk, and Putin are the three heads of Monster Zero.

Everyone is gravely aware and concerned about Trumpism's existential threat to American society and global stability, but only **AFTER** not supporting Kamala 😞

8. Howdy Hitorque: The operative word is "everybody." We who voted BLUE knew this was coming.

Here's the math:

Negating mortality rates for both Blue and Red States, between the winning 2020 and losing 2024 elections, Democrats lost 6,265,888 voters. If we liberally subtract the entire 1,698,570 Arab-American vote (1.1% of the US population) since they are being scapegoated, that leaves us with 4,567,318 missing voters.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein won 628,129 votes across the US (doing best in New Jersey).

Subtracting that number, nationwide that leaves 3,939,189 Democratic voters unaccounted for in 2024.

Who are these ~four million people that didn't vote Blue?


Now we are going to be crushed:
