We are so f*ucked... [View all]



Yes Trump is all these things. BUT for now America is still a democracy and the more he fucks up the response to the pandemic, and his supporters die because they won't wear face masks cause culture wars - the worse it will get for him in November.
The fact that he had never heard of Juneteenth, but wants militarised police and the frigging army on the streets against peaceful protesters of colour and then describes it as beautiful - means the outpouring of righteousness will continue from our young people - and the worse it will get for him in November.
The more he gives trillion dollar bailouts to his pals, while SME's and sole traders flounder, and the more he fails to support unemployed Americans who have lost their jobs to this pandemic - the worse it will get for him in November.
The more he supports the brutality of white supremacist police who lynch black men for being black, the more Generation Z will continue to show their displeasure and politicising young people is certainly not a good plan for republicans. If the 18-25 year demographic vote on mass this November...
