    My cousin Donald now goes by his middle name.

    His quote: “man, fuck that yankee piece of shit.”

      Sadly, half of voting Americans think you’re a fascist, Chinese bot.
      Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.

                You may notice how I said. I believe not that I factually looked it up. The source was it came to me in a dream this is why it’s important to do research on the internet and to use good reading comprehension skills. I did not make it an authoritative statement. You should not have read it as one. Now that I’ve looked it up I’ve edited it

              But even when someone doesn’t vote, that doesn’t mean they aren’t Maga?

              So if half of voters are Maga and 1/3 of eligible voters actually vote, it’s almost impossible to say something about the population as a whole. We can say about 16% would be the lower limit, but it could be a lot higher. If we take the voters as an unbiased large sample, we could extrapolate and say 50% of the population is actually Maga. But since voters are by definition a biased sample, it’s hard to say what the actual number would be. Especially with humans, that have complex interactions, like a certain persuasion could actually mean someone is less likely to vote. Or the other way around, where wanting to vote makes one persuasion more likely. This makes the whole thing pretty hard.

          “Equal in the eyes of the Creator” allows us to be us, without adversely affecting our equals.

          You could, but I’d imagine your therapist sending you a fruit cake every year at christmas as a thank you for latest new lambo you funded

            Well, are you okay? You’re kinda not making much sense in your comments here. Like, the individual sentences make sense, sorta (this one anyway), but they don’t match what you’re responding to very well.

            It makes it seem like you’re responding to the wrong comments. Is that the case? Gods know I fuck that up myself.

      Trump isn’t a proper representation of a New Yorker. I doubt he even likes baseball.

        I still don’t understand how a bunch of Southern, trailer park rednecks who hate new York city rich people, decided that a Manhattan millionaire was the guy to vote for. Why do they think he’s anything like them or has why idea how they live? He’s literally a northern, cartoonish carpet bagger.

          I’m sure there’s deeper takes on this but from my understanding, it’s a mix of things: 1) he convinced them he’s not like other politicians (which is true, he was not a politician at all) and 2) he convinced them he’s the “pull yourself up by the jockstrap” American dream and everyone can be like him - that’s just the typical American lie they’ve been using for decades if not longer. Then sprinkle a little bit of christofacist fear mongering in there and you got some undereducated folks excited to see someone who’ll “fight” for their American dream.
