    Well at least it's only 4 more years and he can't stand again in 4 years time. Although I wouldn't put it past him for him to try and change the Constitution so that a president can serve more than 2 terms.

    I’m loving this. <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

    All you idiots on here saying I was in a cult.

    Turns out I was right and it was all of you brainwashed by the media, not me. Hundreds of millions of people globally agree with me.

    Hahahahaaha

    No, he’s not. But he is going to empower Elon Musk and the rest of the tech bro disinformation spreaders, to interfere in our politics. The impending storm will not be confined to America

    We weren’t saying you were a cult, think you misread that.

    Oh stop being so petulant. Trump only won because the Democrats were so incompetent. And no one said you were in a cult.

    The other mod literally posted this yesterday.

    Liked by the rest of the left wing cult on here.

    Turns out they’re all brainwashed, as I said. Luckily the American people were smart enough to see through the censorship and lies too.

    The West is feeling less wealthy and wants to return to it's heyday - problem is the World has changed but nationalistic blame it on the immigrants parties benefit.

    We also need to consider people are more willing to vote green, independent and this tends to split votes. We saw this in Muslim areas in the UK too.

    Well for a start, neither myself or thereisonlyoneno7 are left wing. Both of us have said many times we traditionally have voted Tory. However both of us can see what an absolute ****er Trump is and the damage he will now cause over the next 4 years. I'd say he's the one who has brainwashed people with all his "Make America great again" bullshit. America is more divided than ever now. Probably only a matter of time before someone tries to take him out again TBH.

    Trump doesn't have a stance on anything. He just goes whatever way the wind is blowing!

    The only thing bothering me is Ukraine. If he forces Ukraine to back down then we are in some serious trouble as Europeans.

    Grievance politics is effective. Whipping up outrage seems to work, if you want to get people to vote for you.

    We desperately need the Democrats to get control of the HoR. If the Republicans get control of the White House, the Senate and the House we really are ****ed.

    I think people on here need to step back from the media propaganda and think more deeply about why people are able to vote for this guy.

    If you just dismiss it as ‘bullshit’ you will not ever understand the truth about the world.

    Ask yourself; ‘what do hundreds of milllions of people around the world understand that I do not?’

    Around the world? As far as I'm aware, only US citizens are allowed to vote. Many of whom would vote Republican even if Donald Duck was their candidate for president.

    Most people are ****ing idiots mate, that’s always been democracy’s greatest weakness. Factor in the influence of digital technology in manipulating the weak minded, and we’re well and truly ****ed.

    Yeah, but in Europe we have the rise of the far right in Germany, Holland, Hungary, potentially France, and er, Clacton. There are a lot of people who think like @Osvaldorama , and are easily led; he’s right about that much.
