        Honestly, the roles could even just as well be reversed. I hate all the people involved but the libs playing their games rather than being honest about their genocidality really takes the cake (hell, outside of domestic social policy- which granted does count for a hell of a lot if they weren’t committing industrial genocide and pushing for WW3- they may as well be considered worse)

          The fact that they can keep getting away with the flimsiest of facades and there’s a collective societal consensus that we must not call them out on their bullshit has been driving me bonkers this election season.

      Narcissists never want to lose, even if it means getting a break from something they don’t want to do. Trump is just too tired to keep up the old shitposting rizz and my-hero is a rizz black hole.

    Really cool and good how the richest man on earth unironically likes Brainrot.

    Give it 5 years and Elon Musk will try to unironically make a Skibidi toilet to wipe out minorities to, and I quote, “troll them epic style!”

      Pretty sure being that rich basically necessitates it- but also was Elon ever not a lolcow?

    They’re laughing at thier own suckers

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of_Venice

    The word Doge derives from the Latin Dux, meaning “leader,” originally referring to any military leader, becoming in the Late Roman Empire the title for a leader of an expeditionary force formed by detachments (vexillationes) from the frontier army (limitanei), separate from, but subject to, the governor of a province, authorized to conduct operations beyond provincial boundaries.

    The Doge of Venice acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy. Doges were elected for life through a complex voting process.

    A real and functional democracy exists when some chauvinist grifter runs to the president with a sticky note containing his ideas to gut the very system they claim to defend, and everybody claps.

    Maybe its actually funny chuds think they can vote their way out of a dessicating swamp
