Something someone who uses “woke” as slur made up that other people like to pretend is true so they can have an excuse for whataboutism.

If you’re seeing dying much sooner as direct result of his actions as an equal outcome, I’m not sure what to tell you.

There’s dying, or a 1% chance of not dying. These are in fact not equal.

he saying whatever he thinks you want to hear to give him your vote

Which to someone starving to death is a lot better than someone saying “everything is fine, keep the status quo”.

Are you glad he got voted in?

Nope. I was spending time trying to argue with people to do the bare fucking minimum to stop this, and the Democrats did not help with their campaign of “lets change nothing because everything is fine.”

Is your life better now?

Not an American. I’ll be fine. I can just understand why someone who is desperate (which according to polls is over 50% of your population) could decide to vote for someone who says they want to fucking change things, instead of the people saying everything is fine and they will change nothing.

Best case scenario with the honest man: he does nothing and I starve to death. Worst case scenario with the lying man: I starve to death anyway. May as well try changing things.

Sure, maybe I starve to death faster, but you give most people a choice between “100% chance you starve to death” and “99% chance you starve to death and 1% chance you don’t” and they will take the 1% chance.

At least the lying man admits there’s a fucking problem. “Everything is fine and nothing needs to change” was not a good strategy.

If a known liar is lying to you and you take action supporting those lies, should you be responsible when the lies are indeed shown to be lies?

If I’m starving to death, and the most trustworthy man in the world says “I will do nothing to help you” while the most dishonest man in the world (Donald Trump) says “I will shower you with more food than you have ever seen in your life” I’m going to take my chances with the dishonest man. Maybe the lie is how much but there will still be something. Better than a guaranteed nothing.

Por que no dos?

So how’s their strategy working out for them?

There are two groups at fault here:

1. The protest voters refusing to take the simplest action to prevent what is now happening.

2. The people who said “we’re not going to try to change or improve anything because we’re running against a literal dictator so it’s not like we have to actually try to improve people’s lives. What are they going to do? Let Hitler win?”
