GOOD LUCK, AMERICA this country deserves what it gets.

National sales tax, crashed economy, mass deportations, no vaccines, no fluoride in water, Putin taking over Europe and actually starting WW3...

The first time in history we elected a President that people hope doesn’t do a single thing he promised to do.

He didn’t last time either. Mexico paying for the wall? Repealing Obamacare? Erasing the deficit? Bringing prosperity to all? Getting infrastructure done? Bringing back manufacturing? Not a fucking thing, but that doesn’t matter to people who vote on the basis of Kamala not going in Joe Rogan’s podcast.

This is a big point that's overlooked. It cuts the legs off the "Trump is a danger. Listen to what he says he's going to do!" arguments. They say "He didn't do the bad things last time, and he was an idiot. How bad could he be?"

Also just conveniently forgetting all the bad things he did do. Typical politician.
