    I don’t blame people in the US for believing that, when more than half your population (who actually voted) decided to vote Trump in (again).

    Like the guy is unironically a treasonous criminal con-man so obviously under Russia’s (or more specifically Putin’s) influence it’s laughable.

      He is “confident” which for most means simple being a giant asshole without a hint of introspection or care for others. It’s a trait people love because they wish they could bear being a giant asshole themselves but their fear of unfavorable judgement from others keeps them in check.

        Stop it with the sugarcoating. He’s a fascist, a Nazi. He promises to inflict pain on others, and that’s what’s appealing to half of American voters. Not the “confidence”. They get off on the hate and cruelty, whether they admit it or not. They are, in every literal sense of the word, textbook fascists. No need to make excuses for them.

          Quit beating around bush! The dark messiah ascends the throne. Who will stop the summoning of Cthulu? The end is nigh!

      All of that may be true, but it’s easily overlooked by his voters because they hate immigrants so very VERY much.

        You mean they are racist? Because they love the work they do as long as they don’t need to see them and still buy their products. We all know they won’t do their work either.
