I'm tired of people like John Stewart, who I actually really like, saying WE did this to OURSELVES. I know me and MILLIONS of other people are never- Trumpers. I am not taking the rap for this nightmare.

Normalization of racists and defending Hiltler are two more of the disgusting things the "Trusk" team is accomplishing.

The defence of Elon Musk’s salute is a symptom of a much deeper problem
There is a renewed attempt in the US, Europe and beyond to minimise and sanitise the horrors of Nazism.

DJT again showing his massive hypocrisy. He says he wants to stop illegal drugs from coming into the country, and then pardons a drug king pin.

I am very afraid that this is just the beginning. DJT, Musk and all their racism and hatred has incited violence before, and it will continue to do so.

This is what DJT calls making America safe? He is releasing violent criminals, while he accuses other countries of releasing violent criminals into the US.
aiding and abetting future crimes...
With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.
January 22, 2025 at 3:13 PM
The criminals are in charge now. The very thing DJT accuses other countries of doing (releasing and sending us convicts) he is doing himself EVERY DAY.

But of course the MAGA disciples will say " he didn't really mean 24 hours".
Did Donald Trump already break a major campaign promise?

For years Trump has said over and over again that if he were to win the presidency again, he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Well, it's been 27 hours since he took office. Is the war over?
Did Donald Trump already break his first promise in office?

Oh, and in case you missed it DJT said people don't care about inflation. "75% of voters reported that inflation had caused moderate or severe hardship for them over the past year, with 45% saying they were worse off now than they were four years ago."

I lost all respect for Snoop after he performed at the inauguration.
Too bad.
Ugh. This one hurts. Snoop. Why?? Is the money worth it?? While we suffer under your dictator friend??

There’s a German saying that if 10 people sit at a table and one is a Nazi and they stay seated, there are 9 Nazi sympathizers. 🤷‍♀️

How can you tell when DJT is lying? His mouth is moving. That's all you need to know.

This is true. Sadly, many who don't understand what sicentists are saying act as if they know as much or more than them anyway.
I have once again encountered this exact situation in real life. XKCD is far too prescient.

MAGA followers are SO out of touch with reality. They are in total denial of all the lies and non-stop grifting. I wish I had any answers on how to pull them out of this delusional trance.

Biden actually accomplished quite a bit, but unfrotunately the first thing on DJT's agenda is to reverse the positive change. Otherwise, this meme is spot on.
