Hey, hi from Canada! You guys had literally MONTHS of watching Trump demonstrate that he doesn't understand basic economic principles, let alone tariffs... you have had YEARS of practical demonstrations of his inability to govern effectively, his gift for grifting the "poorly educated..." his absolute narcissistic penchant for lying pathologically (just look at Trump standing face-to-face with California governor Newsome....) How can you, USA, explain how serious people take Trump seriously? It's absolutely cringe-worthy watching Trump apologists justify Trump's statements and actions on news programs. Fox News, especially Jesse Waters, are absolute parody at this point, except it's happening for real... how have you let this become your reality? I'm seriously concerned, for you all, the disenfranchised among you, and for world relations... is there no resistance? Are your representatives so entrenched in the notion of retaining power and being reelected that they have failed to represent their constituencies? The world laughs at Trump, but his actions have real consequences... Seriously, cousins... are you ok?

Yes dude. We are fucked. No we are not ok. Our entire democracy is about to be destroyed from the top, and we have little power to do much more than watch the fleecing, because the majority of our populace are uneducated racist fuckheads.

Only a wee bit under 50% of us didn’t vote for him. Everyone I know is either relocating or just talking about it. Don’t lump us altogether.

We had years of direct experience to know he has no clue what he's doing. Add in another 4 years of him proving it further and there's no excuse. I mean, voters don't pay attention to anything and here we are

We’re not okay. The rise of social media gave the idiots a voice and the conmen a platform. Here we are. Everything will implode before it’s over.

Assuming he didn’t really rig the election, stupidity is strong in this country…

We're not ok. I take comfort and hope in knowing the world is watching, but it's really hard to deal with the fact that about a third of our country is proud to be uneducated and we are being ruled by the criminally insane and the spineless at this point.
Reps and senators do need to grow a spine. Back in the day, even the Republicans would never have confirmed a hegseth, because they valued having a strong defense that would never be compromised by some loose cannon on a bender.

Alot of us didn't want this - but thankfully, many votes weren't cast so alot of people could "take the moral high-ground".
Americans are fucking selfish and egotistic.

I didn’t vote for this abomination. I have an IQ over 12. Can’t do much until mid-terms.

It's half of the people, and that half can't be classified as serious people. We, the other half, are being held hostage.

Gotta go put this comment on twitter. Most people on this app didn't vote for Trump. In fact, most of the people who voted didn't vote for Trump, he won with 48% percent of the vote, the other 52% being spread around other candidates
