No. Real Americans do not want that. We never have. Real Americans want these racist assholes to be held accountable and punished for their treasonous acts.
Keep in mind that a lot of states have had their districts redrawn in such ways that make it so the Republicans will win, and the courts have upheld these illegally drawn maps in one manner or another.
In other words, while the system is working as intended, the intention is not what the majority wants. It’s rigged so the “house” always wins.
That doesn’t matter when voting for president. Trump won both the electoral votes and the popular vote. The people quite literally did vote for this. However, I don’t think many of Trump’s voters actually believed he would do this and be as cruel about it as he has been.
Right. You can make the argument that the electoral college is an out of date system and he should have lost in 2016. I would even whole heartedly agree with you. In 2024 there really wasn’t any controversy that the DNC didn’t inflict on themselves.
People might be disagreeing with me when I say that some or maybe even most Trump supporters don’t approve of how he is using ICE. I think national polling shows that to be true though. Yes they wanted to kick out the undocumented, but I don’t think they realized how bad the action of it was going to be. It was something that sounded good to them in theory and then a lot of them have come to regret it after seeing it in practice.
It’s edgelord bullshit like this that’s just so fucking disgusting. Fucking victim blaming dipshittery all because you’re painting a country and all of it’s inhabitants with the same brush as the absolute scum in power. You think native Americans want this bullshit? You think American women want this bullshit? You think black Americans want this bullshit? You gonna paint every American as wanting this bullshit because you wanna be a pos edgelord on fucking lemmy? Go fuck yourself, you’re a bad person.
For all those people you say they “don’t want” this, they sure are letting it happen a lot. If this was any other country, y’alls would have already complained in socmed that “you need a coup” or an “American intervention” (oh the irony).
They didn’t say “Americans”, they said “Amerikkka” to specify what kind of American they are referring to. KKK is from the Klu Klux Klan, a racist protestant terrorist organization.
“Amerikkkans” refers to them and their supporters (whether members or not).
Be kind, don’t start this “bullshit bad person” crap, thank you.
No he isn’t. He referred to the entire country as amerikkka. There’s so much hate for America and it’s people rn all because a bunch of elites are screwing with the whole planet. The American people don’t support this thinly vield gestapo.
I’m referring to the country as seen from the outside. I can only assume it’s even worse from the inside.
But enough with the pleasantries, they are unneeded… I hold Amerikkka to the same or even higher standard than other countries. Aren’t you the oh so mightiest country in the world? Well then, get to fixing yourselves. For fuck’s sake, even the French did it better than you so far.
This is absolutely a bullshit take. Like, yeah, no shit I noticed the reference to the kkk. In this context it was used as yet another generalization of “america bad”. It’s childish bullshit. There was no differentiation between the kkk and other Americans, did you fucking notice that? You think maybe that’s something that would piss off any sane person since like, oh, I don’t fucking know, maybe other Americans are black and descendants of those violently oppressed by that terrorist organization? Maybe that’s a super insane thing to imply while suggesting Americans are being murdered by ICE because that’s what they fucking wanted? Grow up.
Don’t play games with not understanding how being kind works. There are people who are bad people, and the person victim blaming people being murdered by fascists in their own government is one of those bad people. That kind of behavior should absolutely NOT be tolerated. Letting toxic bullshit slide like that isn’t in any way kind since it actively makes the world a worse place.
ICE murders people in Amerikkka because that’s what Amerikkka wants.
No. Real Americans do not want that. We never have. Real Americans want these racist assholes to be held accountable and punished for their treasonous acts.
I’m guessing they meant that America voted for this? I dunno.
That’s a negatory there too.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. Trump won both the electoral and popular votes in 2024.
It was a plurality, and not nearly as much of a landslide as the electoral map and Trump will pretend it was, but he won.
The states are borderline gerrymandered in and of themselves, but that doesn’t matter for the popular vote totals.
Right. You can make the argument that the electoral college is an out of date system and he should have lost in 2016. I would even whole heartedly agree with you. In 2024 there really wasn’t any controversy that the DNC didn’t inflict on themselves.

This whole ‘not us’ is just a convenient way to wash your bloody hands. You all got him in power, you all keep him in power.
Voting is only an expression of intent, not an actual action of improvement.
Gerrymandering or not, the voting system doesn’t prevent you from sidestepping its obvious failures and taking the country back by force.
(As the saying goes, “if voting actually helped things, they’d have outlawed it by now”)
it doesnt matter for senate, or presidential elections. voter suppression is whats really killing the DEM votes in the red states.
What I meant wasn’t that it’s true, but that maybe that’s what the commenter is saying happened.

If they are using “Amerikkka” to indicate all of America, they are misusing the term. Which isn’t unusual now or anything.

This is incorrect.
The last protest in USA was big, as big as if EVERYONE IN PARIS protested at once.
Considering all of France has 5% of the landmass of the USA while being one fifth of the population, well… there you go.
The USA is massive. France is more comparable to California alone.
A more apt comparison would be USA compared to the European Union. Can you get everyone in the EU to protest like in France?
No.
We’re not magical. We’re just people.

Damn, you’re not a very pleasant person, I get it! Go on and freak the fuck out, it’s cute
But you’re not making the world one jot better. I am not inviting you to my party
You’re not the type to honestly engage with things and give the less than useless “clapbacks” aren’t you?
You can either be insulting, OR provide ‘honest engagement’. You can’t do both.
You know this in public though, right? Yeah you do.
Minnesotans didn’t.
