    This really is disgusting and goes back to a general question for all Americans. Around the world politicians and celebrities by and large strive to represent the best of the nation they are from regardless of where on the political spectrum they lean.

    Do you feel this best represents you as an American? When you want the world to think of America do you want them to think “they think black people are apes and black women look like men”? Does a man say “Grab women by the pussy” and that’s a valid opinion? Is it acceptable for men to rape children?

    You don’t need to answer. It’s rhetorical. You all made your choice it is what you think.

    If you voted for him or didn’t vote, or voted Republicans in general, listen to Rogan, watch UFC, etc. Get your shit together. We are all laughing at you not with you.

            It’s almost like you are purposely trying to negate gerrymandering and the many reasons why people don’t/can’t vote which does not mean they support or agree with something. The world and choices are grey. Always has been. So, can you, and others, stop with the black and white camps you paint the world (or the US) in?

            Less than half of the population got Trump elected.

              Less than a third, actually. There are ~244m eligible voters and ~77m Trump ballots in the popular vote. I voted for Harris and my state went blue, but the armchair revolutionists are going to keep telling me to do “something” about it like I swore him in personally. Dummies gonna dum.

                You’re correct. I didn’t want to get that specific, but it’s an even better point than the less than half that I said. I also voted for Harris and have been part of groups that combat ICE and help those in need locally.

        It’s always amazing to see who the folks responsible for this naked fascist media are. 9/10 times it ends up being some random assholes with no economic or political clout in a third rate social media comments section.

          Go get shot by the Secret Service and leave your family without a home.

          I’ll get right on that

            The bend over and accept it? You see the problem? If you’re actively part of the solution what does that make you?

      What obviously instantly gets me about the “grab em by the pussy” is this and other brags is not just “locker talk”…he’s literally admitting and bragging about sexually assaulting women. “When you’re a star they let you do it”… Like i guess im preaching to the choir but to me is super easy to draw the line at someone overtly proud of sexually assaulting women.

      I’m listening to alot of Norm Macdonald and a popular joke is about Bill Cosby being a hypocrite and how most rapists are hypocrite…Meanwhile we have a president who’s literally open about his abuse of women and thats not a dealbreaker for Christians - he’s actually sent by god somehow.

        That line is what immediately turned me off of Trump and the vast majority of Americans. The fact that didn’t bury his political career speaks volumes on the nation the level of acceptance of that type of behaviour.

        Politics aside, that is a disgusting human being to be able to say that like it’s cool, lockeroom or not. Yet here we are.
