Copied from Quora; I didn’t write any of this…
We are on the same team.
Every policy carried out by the government, every federal law passed by Congress, and every landmark case ruled by the Supreme Court impact you and me. Inflation impacts all of us. The price of grocery, gas, and household goods impacts all of us. The horrendous for-profit health insurance system harms all of us. Poorly funded schools harm all of us. Unsafe transportation, such as trains, airplanes, and poorly maintained infrastructure, harms all of us.
Everything I wanted: universal health care, a better-funded education system, a robust welfare system, more support for the homeless population, better mental/psychiatric care, student loan forgiveness, closing tax loopholes for corporations and the super-rich, women’s right to bodily autonomy, stranger food safety laws, stronger environmental safety laws, more money for national parks… everything benefits you (and I, and everyone else.)
I want what is good for everyone.
You want to own the libs. You relish the sight of immigrants, documented or undocumented, being deported, their families broken apart. You want to check every woman’s underpants just so a few trans people can not use the bathroom in public. You want to sentence women and their doctors to death for seeking abortions. You want to make Christianity the religion of the country. You want to see other people suffer, even if that means you suffer too.
So perhaps we are not on the same team.
I’m on Team America.
You are on Team Trump.
I have since received several comments from Christians telling me that this is not what they wanted.
You know what? It doesn’t matter. If you voted for Trump, this is what you wanted. Trump is a package deal. You don’t get to pick and choose. I don’t care if you voted him because egg prices, or immigrants, or abortion, or no warming centers for homeless people in winter.
I don’t fucking care.
You don’t get to vote to harm millions of Americans and then pretend to be a good Christian.
Back in the 1930s, a lot of Germans supported Hitler because they believed Hitler would make Germany great again. They didn’t agree on everything Hitler and the Nazis did, but they thought Hitler would bring down inflation and make things better for them.
Do you know what historians call those people?
Nazis.
Why is the failure of this current budget bill being blamed on Republicans when almost every single Democrat voted against it?
If only half of the Dems had voted in favor, it would have passed and we wouldn’t be looking toward another government shutdown.
I was wondering what the actual popular vote totals were over the last 7 or 8 US presidential election cycles, and discovered a few important things that haven’t been mentioned very much. Let me first present the entire table so you can look for any patterns that stand out for you.
Here are a few:
(1) Harris got ten MILLION fewer votes than Biden.
(2) Trump only gained about 400 thousand over that cycle, which is not much.
(3) The big change was that over 10 million Democratic voters stayed home.
(4) Nearly every single registered voter got out and voted this time: 94.8%!
(5) Non-voters are definitely the largest US voting block: anywhere from one-third (34.1%) to one-half (48.3%) of the eligible voting population!
(6) If Democrats want to win elections, they need to convince large numbers of non-registered people that Democratic policies are good enough that they will register to vote Democratic. They also need to convince folks not to sit out elections.
Peter Greene, as usual,has done a lot of research. this group is pretty scary.

Me: First of all, congratulations on your victory.
DJT: As our great Vice-President JD Vance said, this is the greatest political comeback in the history of the world. The only thing that even comes close is the resurrection of Jesus. Both are miraculous and ordained by God.
Me: Speaking of miracles, how is the ear?
DJT: Completely healed. I’m a very fast healer. Years ago, my bone spurs healed really quickly, too. Doctors are amazed at how quickly I heal. They’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like I’m a super-healer. Of course, in this case, I might have been helped a tiny bit by the angel God sent down to save me. Everybody knows that angel wings are very powerful. Even though they are fluffy, they also very, very strong and very powerful. So, not only did my guardian angel change the bullet’s direction with her beautiful, fluffy white feathery wings, she also must have touched my ear. I didn’t know, but people tell me angel wings also promote healing.
Me: How are you feeling otherwise, physically and mentally?
DJT: I’m in the best shape of my life. You know, most candidates gain weight during a campaign, eating all that fried chicken and ice cream. But I actually lost weight.
Me: Really, what are you down to?
DJT: Last time I checked, I lost about ten pounds, down to 205. I also grew about an inch, inch-and-a half. Nobody can explain it, but I think our father who art in heaven had something to do with it. He wants to keep me around for a long, long time.
Me: And mentally? The Democrats claimed you are having cognitive issues.
DJT: The Defeated Democrats are so dumb they couldn’t follow the weave. You know, the weave. Really smart professors who study language and words were amazed at how I could talk for hours and hours about so many different, seemingly completed unrelated and irrelevant things and then pull it all together into a perfect speech. I’m smarter now than I ever was.
Me: You have some big plans for your second term and are putting together a team to carry out your vision. In your first term, you said you’d choose “the best people” to help you, but a lot of them—including former Vice-President Pence—didn’t support your reelection. Some even called you a Fascist.
DJT: For some reason, I’ve had to deal with disgruntled employees my whole life. That’s all they are. They didn’t have the courage to do what was right so I fired them. I said, “You’re fired!” and they wrote their nasty books full of lies and made-up conversations, which is something I would never do.
Me: What will you do differently this time to make sure the team stays together?
DJT: I’m bringing together the best, most loyal and strongest people to carry out the public’s mandate. It’s interesting that the word “mandate” is made up of two words, “man” and “date.” It’s like the whole country has found their man—their favorite President, me—and they all want to date me. They love me so much and so do the really great people I’m bringing in to do what most real Americans want us to do, to Make America Great Again. Did you see that? Did you see how I did the weave there?
Me: Very impressive, Mr. President. Really, kind of astounding. Sounds like you need to be careful, though, Melania might get jealous.
DJT: She’ll be fine. She’s used to it. Nobody knows more about what’s best than the beautiful, brilliant, multilingual, First Lady. Remember her really great “Be Best” initiative? Wasn’t the something? She knows what be best.
Me: Speaking of the First Lady, how is she feeling about your reelection?
DJT: She’s very upbeat, very excited. She can’t wait to get back to the White House that she loves so much so she can rip up that terrible Rose Garden and plan her incredible Christmas decorations.
Me: I remember a lot of people made fun of the decorations, particularly the blood-red Christmas trees that resembled the cloaks worn by women in “The Handmaid’s Tale” What does she have planned this time around?
DJT: Nobody knows more about decorating than Melania. Like, she knows that red and green are really big, important, powerful Christmas colors, so she’s planning on decorations that match the color of her beautiful “I Don’t Really Care, Do You?” jacket.
Me: I’d like to ask you a few questions about your foreign policy plans. As you know, wars are raging all around the world and some of the most powerful countries are threatening others. The Middle East and Ukraine are in flames. What do you plan to do to address these problems?
DJT: The world was completely peaceful when I was president. Not a single gun was fired, except in the United States where law-abiding citizens were exercising their 2nd Amendment rights and brave police officers were gunning down the rapists and murderers and gang members who have invaded our beautiful suburbs. Sure, sometimes there was some collateral damage, but the American people want to feel safe and secure, so we’re really going to go after the bad hombres now. When Sleepy Joe and Lying Kamala were in power, it was a total disaster here in the Homeland and in foreign lands, too. Only I can solve it. It might take me as long as a week, but I will have peace in the Middle East and Ukraine and we will rebuild very, very quickly.
Me: Can you expand on that a bit?
DJT: Sure. If you look at a map, there is lots of really good beachfront property available in both areas. It’s a smart developer’s wet dream. In Ukraine, you have all that beautiful Black Sea waterfront property ready for condos and gold courses. When Putin takes back Easton, Latvia, and Lithuania, that’s opens up the Baltic Sea, too. Same thing in the Middle East. The whole Gaza Strip is on the Mediterranean! Plus, Putin and Netanyahu have already leveled a lot of the industrial sites and old apartment buildings, so that will save a lot of money on demolition. The rubble can be carted away by the many, many unemployed laborers desperate for work. They’ll work for next to nothing, so there will be incredible cost savings there, too. Supply and demand. The free market at work. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
Me: You seem to be pretty close to Putin and Netanyahu, and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. Do you have any special plans with them?
DJT: Like me, they’re all very strong. Very tough and strong and powerful and great manly leaders. I can’t tell you everything we have in the works, but let’s just say I envision a very tough and manly meeting with them all in the very near future where we will discuss manly things and be very manly and tough together. They rule with an Iron Fist. I like that. The fist.
Me: You’ve talked a lot about deporting “illegals” who have invaded America. Will that include workers at Mar-a-Lago?
DJT: There are no illegals at Mar-a-Lago and even if there are—which there aren’t—I have no idea how they got their jobs there. I leave it to my people who do the hiring. I am a big picture guy. I leave the details to others.
Me: Who will handle the mass deportation details?
DJT: Stephen Miller is on top of that. Great guy. Fun guy. So much fun to be around. Really funny and so kind, but really tough and manly, too! Loves the work. Always has a big, satisfied grin on his face. He’ll do a great job. Amazingly, he also has a really hot wife. I guess some women just like the baldies. But that’s okay. Not everyone can have beautiful, thick hair like me.
Me: You’ve said climate change is a hoax, but climate scientists say the Earth is warmer than ever and that catastrophic storms are increasing in frequency and intensity. Are they wrong?
DJT: Of course they are. The Fake News and pointy-headed, government scientists are panicking because the temperature is up what, one, two degrees? That’s San Diego weather. Eight-two one day, eighty-four the next. Big deal. And if even it is getting a little hotter, so what? Think about all the wheat we could grow in Siberia or corn in the Arctic, right next to the big, beautiful oil rigs that we’re going to build there.
Me: You’ve been very critical of the “woke” left, calling them Fascists and Communists and Socialists. Could you explain the differences between Fascism, Communism, and Socialism?
DJT. No. Next question.
Me: Can you define “woke” for me?
DJT: America is the greatest country in the history of the world, but the woke Fascist/Communist/Socialist haters always talk about ancient history—like slavery—to tear it down. They even say our great Founding Fathers didn’t start the country in 1776. They bring up 1619, when a few people were brought on ships—free of charge—to work in the New World.
Me: But didn’t a lot of the Founding Fathers own slaves?
DJT: Sure. But they gave them room and board in exchange for their work. They treated them like family. They saved their souls by converting them to Christianity. Some of them even had children together.
Me: Before the election was called in your favor, you were suggesting that there were some voting shenanigans going on in Pennsylvania. Did you find evidence of voter fraud there?
DJT: Absolutely not. The election was free and fair all across the country. It’s amazing how quickly the many, many problems that let the cheating Democrats steal the election just four years ago have all been fixed. This was the fairest election in American history, by far. No question. Every single vote was counted correctly. Every single one. I won, big time.
Me: One final question. Could you please tell me what “Covfefe” means?
DJT: Sure. Just sign this loyalty oath and I’ll let you know.

I fear that Trump is probably going to be elected president again on November 5.b
Why? Because he is the most effective and gifted demagogue and conman I have ever seen, backed up by the most vicious propaganda network of Faux (Fox) (fake) “news”.
Without lifting a finger, he has also built up and united a pretty large batch of armed , racist, openly fascist militias without lifting a finger or spending a dime.
He has convinced many working-class and poor whites that this multimillionaire con artist and liar is on their side. While he and Fox talk about economic injustices to working class folks, especially whites, the biggest capitalists know he is in fact on their side.
He has somehow convinced millions of American “Christians” (the ones that ignore pretty much everything Jesus is recorded as proposing) that he was sent by God to help smite us heathens and to prevent women from controlling their own bodies.
When I see that folks who have NOT voted in the past — generally poorer citizens — and who make up nearly one-third of the voting-age population — break for Trump by nearly 40 percentage points, I realize that Harris is probably going to lose, if Trump can get them to break past habits and vote.
If my prediction is correct, then what do we start doing on November sixth?
