I've always wondered if this was the reason some of the ruling class hated Trump even though he stands for the same things they do, and this is confirmation. They are afraid that Trump will embolden the left by being so obvious a symbol of US incompetence and the failings of capitalism.
Yeah, Trump is like the physical embodiment of the entire western ruling class's sins
It like he's their portrait of Dorian Grey that was supposed to stay hidden away in the attic but now he's out in the open revealing just how vile the bourgeois really are
The obvious reaction to seeing this truth is is resurgence of the left
Crowned heads, wealth and privilege may well tremble should ever again the Black and Red unite!"

Oh, I was thinking of just wallowing in self-pity for four years....but GREAT IDEA NYT!
I never considered this Communist movement thing before ... I think I should try it out. WHOS WITH ME
I mean, I've said this to all my lib friends and it's made them step back a little bit because they all realize it's true.
Obviously I don't support Trump, but there was a very strong energy in me that wanted Trump to win. The biggest reason being that if Kamala won, normal people would stop caring. As everybody on here says, everybody would have just gone back to brunch if Kamala won. Trump is radicalizing. Whether that's left or right depends on the person, but Trump's rhetoric will radicalize people
This is the sickest, most derannged, most fanatical, most bizarre, most most most most most what the actual fuck nycrimes?
Fuck!
Wait I didn't know we were signing up for inflicting fates on dynasties. That sounds awesome!
Brunch is no longer on the menu instead its coming to protests with me. sorry libs
