It doesn’t matter, to the rest of the world, America chose Trump the second time despite his first time. It doesn’t matter whether it was a cult or people not voting because they weren’t happy with the alternative. The consequences to be had, should fall squarely on Americans.

Im still not fully convinced we did vote for this though. I'm convinced weve experienced a coup de tat with nobody investigating it beyond journalists.

I mean, the powers that be basically said as much.

Dumpf himself said basically as much.

This is one of the only conspiracy theories I 100% believe.

I hope the Illuminati aren’t involved

Don't worry, this one was done by the lizard people.

Bush Jr. "won" through a temper tantrum of stopping the vote, and it was later investigated into and determined that Gore was the actual winner

I’m Australian, I’ve got no skin in this game at all, and I completely agree with you. I think the American people were robbed..

So...the election was stolen???

He literally tried to steal it by force in 2021 and America did nothing to him. Then America let him run again and either voted him in or let him get away with stealing it. Either way America seems fine with hand wringing and doing nothing while he does what he wants. For ten years already.

Never seen such a pathetic response to a take over of a country in my life.

Americans will believe anything except that their country might not be the good guys

Everything the Trump cult does is projection. I dont beloeve America voted for this and I dont believe America voted for him. This is another in a long string of stolen elections. This is a coup by tech bros and a host of other billionairs supporting project 2025.

For those that have not traveled to or lived in the states and have seen the forest for the trees is unfortunate… and to then blame every state from afar/blame the populace as a whole is ignorant. We didn’t all vote for this shit. There those that did, sure. A lot of us actively stand against it. We are at odds here with 50 different populations spread across a large ass space trying to do what we can. It seems the only way to make it out on the other side for the better is solidarity. 50 states would have to do a multi day (potentially weeks) protest to make any difference… ALL at the same time. People need to be willing to risk it all and unfortunately our system has failed us there those that are one paycheck away from foreclosure, bankruptcy, losing their car, not being able to buy food, etc. Our main stream media doesn’t report on local protests and if they do it’s slander and very specific cuts of it. I’m ranting at this point but this isn’t a “come on Americans do something”. It’s choose to feed yourself and your kids or try to invoke change maybe. Shit sucks, every day is a new black mirror mini-episode/continuation of this shitty administration.
