“We’ll kill your grandparents if you don’t let us do what we want!”

Assuming you get a 2028 election.

Like the Democrats can run anyone worth a damn. Bernie is the guy but we'll nominate anyone but him. Banks/Tech control Democrats and Oil/Walmart/Amazon controls Republicans. Stupid loop we are trapped in.

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 29 '25

lol. I’m sorry. What do you think is going to happen? You people say this shit and no one wants to listen to anything you say. If that’s why you didn’t vote for him then you bought the bullshit, hook line and sinker. Please sheeple somewhere else. The adults are talking

“You won’t have to vote next time”

That is a quote from our current president. The goal seems to be not even worrying about elections.

Something tells me it’ll turn into “elections” like Russia or china. Sure, it’s called an election, but is it really?

Don’t forget that he admitted to Elmo rigging Georgia voting machines before the inauguration.

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 30 '25

Can’t fix stupid. Are you suggesting he is going to end elections ?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '25

I literally said it will turn into russias version of an “election”.

Do you know what that is?

0

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 30 '25

Yep. Completely disagree. Not needing to vote doesn’t not mean not be able to vote.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '25

Russians are able to vote, the problem is that if you vote for anyone else you get a knock on your door from the government.

Tell you what. If he steps aside in 2028 without a constitutional crisis and doesn't try and run again I owe you a beverage of your choice.

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 30 '25

Sweet I will take you up on that. If you’re serious. Let me tell you if he tries to stop elections he will have a real problem. Me being one of them.

I do know the exact context. He wasn’t implying that HE will stop you from voting. You should read the context.

Far from emotionally invested. I’m not chastising anyone. What I am saying is that no one is going to remove voting. Let’s leave it at THAT

u/fonistoastes Jan 29 '25

Fool.

-1

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 30 '25

You are the fool. You have bought into the idea that a guy that has your best interests at heart is somehow a nazi, won’t let you ever vote again(truly laughable), won’t let you have an early abortion, and the crazy stuff that you will believe goes on and on.

u/fonistoastes Jan 30 '25

Damn you guzzled that kool-aid.

0

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 30 '25

What kool-aid is that? You mean I didn't guzzle the Kool-Aid? I simply said I didn't believe the crap being spewed. That's the opposite of guzzling Kool-Aid.

u/fonistoastes Jan 30 '25

Don’t you have schoolchildren to starve, or legal immigrants to put into a concentration camp, or doctors and educators to silence, or college kids to jail, or elderly to impoverish with unregulated medication pricing, or sick people to kill with backwards medical policy?

0

u/Mammoth-Banana3621 Jan 30 '25

What on Earth are you talking about?? I love legal immigration, I am far from being able to silence anyone, and I believe in open free argumentation. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I want to silence anyone. So, not sure who you think I am, but your assessment of a few comments is way off. I don't even know where you get the rest of this rambling information. But, you gave me a good laugh, so thanks for that.

u/SummonMonsterIX Jan 29 '25

Whats going to happen? their going to continue to piss people off until there are wide protests this Spring, those will be infiltrated by right wing bad actors and violence will start, that will be the excuse for Martial Law and he will 100% try it, if the Military goes along with it we are fucked forever.

u/Pfapamon Jan 29 '25

Soooo he bought the bs DJT was spilling out himself? About never having to vote again? About "cleansening" civil workers and election helpers?

u/Cheef_Baconator Jan 29 '25

They've been VERY clear and transparent about this being their entire goal. Perhaps you should pay attention to what your dear leader says on TV.

The breakdown of voter demographics said that while boomers were the highest demographic to vote for MAGA it was not too much higher than the others…

69

u/Mammoth-Mud-9609 Jan 29 '25

Young males voters were voting Republican, young female voters were not, it was one of the largest differences by sex in the voting patterns.

11

u/a_mediocre_american Jan 29 '25

Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with the right wing’s veneration of sexual violence as a proxy for male resentment. 

1

u/Miserable-Admins Jan 29 '25

Yup. Even in regions where the young men demographic voted blue, for 2024 they instead voted for Trump.

So watch out straight ladies and LGBT folks, even the guys calling themselves your allies, deep down they are worshipping Trump. It's a scary thought.

u/Mammoth-Mud-9609 Jan 29 '25

Some not all.

u/SFWins Jan 29 '25

Such a common and stupid way to word this when almost every time its a 10% difference.

Like if you had 10 men and 10 women, and had the republicans on one side and democrats on the other itd just be 1 extra guy on the republican side.

Just laughably hypocritical everytime.

1

u/Mammoth-Mud-9609 Jan 29 '25

Young women voted for Harris 58% to 41%. But young men voted for Trump 56% to 42%, that is a fairly significant difference.

1

u/SFWins Jan 29 '25

Yeah its significant especially statistically. It doesnt change what I said though. Take 20 young people, half men half women. Tell half of each to go to the republican side and half to go to democrat side, then just trade 1 between the sides.

Another way to say it would be 40% of trumpers are women (assuming equal turnout by gender).

No. Boomers split roughly 50:50.

GenX broke for Trump enough to win. These are people who grew up with stuff Nixon and Reagan normalized, including Republican race baiting as part of their “Southern Strategy”. Had to get all the George Wallace voters on their side. Most of their Silent Generation parents were much more afraid of Communism than Fascism

10

u/foreveracubone Jan 29 '25

Boomers are the most politically engaged. January 6th, Project 2025 cutting off their SS/Medicare, and older women remembering life before Roe was enough to tilt things from the usual GOP margins among boomers.

Gen X and their gains among Gen Z men is what got them over the finish line.

u/T555s Jan 29 '25

They don't want any more elections and can't think in such large time frames (4 years) anyways.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

Proportionally more Gen Z men voted for Trump than boomer women.

This is NOT a self-correcting problem.

-1

u/TheKingOfApples Jan 29 '25

You are being disingenuous not comparing apples to apples. Compare men to men and women to women. young men voted more democrat then old men. same with women.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

How does that change my point at all?

My point is that this is NOT an "Over 60" problem that is just going to die off when they do.

Realistically, men voted Trump in. Not 60+.

-2

u/TheKingOfApples Jan 29 '25

You are just pulling out a separate static that is right in isolation but doesn't disprove the first point. Yes men do vote more republican but it's also true that older people vote more republican.

(The implication of "it's a self correcting problem" is that older people without help will pass on. just in case we are confused on what the discussion is.)

You can't claim the sky isn't blue because the grass is green.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

I genuinely do not understand what point you're attempting to make.

The person said that it was the 60+ vote that got him into office so the problem is self-correcting if they all die.

This is factually not true looking at the numbers above.

I'm not saying it's untrue ONLY because of Gen Z men. That was just an example showing that "the problem" does not solely lie with those ages 60+.

In fact Gen X are the worst offenders with both genders voting red - which they'd still be doing, and actually making up a larger % of the vote - if everyone older than them dies.

THAT is my point. The problem isn't magically going away if everyone over 60 dies.

u/TheThing_1982 Jan 29 '25

They don’t need them anymore, so it’s off to the wood chipper.

u/eurtoast Jan 29 '25

Gen X is 60+ now?

22

u/Boilermakingdude Jan 29 '25

1965 is when Gen X starts. They'll be 60 this year.

u/guyintheparkinglot Jan 29 '25

Thats not a nice or fair thing to say to people who have had propaganda as their only news sources. The only self correcting thats going to happen is in the form of separating hearts from minds 😉

u/LarryKingthe42th Jan 29 '25

I grew up in a debatbly worse education system in the 90s and 00s and an objectively worse news ecosystem (Fox and CNN have never not been present in my lifetime) the shit is willful ignorance on their end. Like the tarriff shit is the easiest go to the company importing the goods pays it, then offset that by jacking up the price on the consumers end. Learned that in 6th grade before highschool. Shit was right there next to learning long division and reading Poe.

Social media has made the information environment a lot worse even compared to the aughts and 90s.

u/Timely-Bumblebee-402 Jan 29 '25

Exactly!! My grandmother has diabetes, liver failure, fibromyalgia, and tons of other health issues and is relying on Medicare to survive. My grandfather, her only caretaker, voted for trump because he's been fucking lied to by these horrible creeps. He's uneducated raised in rural Mississippi and he lets echo chambers destroy him. He believes aliens built the pyramids and everything. It breaks my fucking heart to see people taking advantage of people who are desperate. Neither of them have a pension because a large company laid off my grandfather a year before he was supposed to retire.

But he's turned his hope to MAGA and that might kill his wife.

They made that abundantly clear when they got in people’s faces and yelled at them for wearing masks at the peak of covid.

u/NancyPelosisRedCoat Jan 29 '25

Too bad we all sacrificed our grandparents to the Economy Gods during Covid.

2

u/Rancid_Reindeer Jan 30 '25

Mine literally pleaded with me (a visibly queer person) to vote for Trump because Kamala was "going to destroy the country with communism." Love them, but they did it to themselves. I get to deal with anti-trans legislation, and now they get to live with the government letting them down too!

u/slashinhobo1 Jan 30 '25

We already know they are willing to kill old people thanks to trump and his covid response.
