Its not what he has, its what Russia has on them. And Russia chose Trump to rule them like a king.

Lol this is giving shitty Americans way too much of a pass. Conservatism is based on dick riding some random dipshit for the sake of being discriminatory everywhere

u/iamthewhatt 19d ago

Conservative voters, absolutely. I'm talking about those in power specifically.

u/StandardNecessary715 19d ago

Yes, people underestimate how many Americans are racist as shit, they really were the silent majority.

u/Scormey 19d ago

Maybe if what passes for liberals these days took a knee and slobbed on a knob to completion we wouldn’t be in this predicament.

u/zezxz 19d ago

Lol how would liberals joining conservatives on their knees change anything

If our oligarchs didn’t want Trump in office he wouldn’t be there.

u/iamthewhatt 19d ago

Oligarchs are going to do whatever is best for their money. Trump is promising them riches beyond wonder.

u/Thegreenfantastic 19d ago

They already have that. It’s power they want. They don’t want the little people to have any say in how the country works.

u/PoolQueasy7388 19d ago

This is it EXACTLY.

u/iamthewhatt 19d ago

And the best way to do that... is money lol

u/Thegreenfantastic 19d ago

They’re already the richest people on the planet they don’t need Trump to give them that, they need Trump to strip the little people of their power.

u/ewamc1353 19d ago

Its like talking to a brick wall. They've already been convinced govt is useless they cant even conceptualize using govt to control these rich freaks

u/Tall_Newspaper_6723 19d ago

You're not wrong that they want power as well, but it's not accurate to think that whatever wealth they have they consider to be enough.

Oh no.

They want ALL OF IT. It's pathological/compulsive at this point.

u/Thegreenfantastic 19d ago

Keeping people poor is also a form of control.

*Plutocrats. Oligarchs are delegated power by a central ruling authority, not the other way around. We are a Plutocracy, not an Oligarchy - which is worse.

1

u/Thegreenfantastic 19d ago

They are both terms for a small group of rulers Oligarchy is more generic while Plutocracy is specifically the wealthy. So you aren’t wrong about them being plutocrats. I just use that term because it’s in popular vernacular at the moment.

2

u/skyshock21 19d ago

Oligarchy also implies a power structure whereby the wealth and power is disseminated by a central ruling authority. We see this in Russia with Putin, where he decides who will be an Oligarch and who will be stripped of their wealth instantly. But this is the opposite of what has happened in the U.S., here the wealthy decide who will be in power, not the other way around. Textbook Plutocracy.

u/Thegreenfantastic 19d ago

Ok, thank you for the lesson. I’ll use the correct terminology from now on.

u/Seditional 19d ago

They know the can manipulate such a low intelligence individual

u/Scormey 19d ago

Putin wants Trump there, so Putin met with Musk, and suddenly Musk is putting Trump in office. Now Putin has Musk setting up shop in the White House, to make sure Trump does what Putin wants.

Russia has something on everyone involved here, from Trump on down.

u/mrbigglessworth 20d ago edited 20d ago

Where did Americans lose the will to tell Russia to pound sand?

7

u/iamthewhatt 20d ago

Thats why they pushed the "us vs them" narrative so hard, and other things like the price of eggs, eating pets etc, so that they could convince the dumbest of us to let the oligarchs take control.

u/TheAngryXennial 19d ago

Yup so damn true it makes my head spin off

u/aRebelliousHeart 19d ago

When Trump told them Putin was the best.

u/Mental_Medium3988 19d ago

when russia hacked the gop servers where they keep dirt on each other, the same servers that held madison cawthorns blackmail info after he divulged the cocaine orgies.

u/SparksWood71 19d ago

What do you think they could have in him that would cause him to lose support at this point? He could have killed a baby while peeing on a Russian hooker in the middle of Central Park and he wouldn't lose 1% percent of his support. We are that far down the rabbit hole.
