He looks like a cartoon demon. An exaggerated 90s gross-up cartoon demon. Wtf do people see in him* except for their ugly-ass selves?
He pisses people off, which is funny or something. Plus they are afraid of immigrants and "the gay" though there have been times when those people have embraced good will and togetherness, usually when a country song about it becomes popular. There was one about doing a good deed and passing it on or something like that and people weren't dicks for a month or so.

Assuming...you know...Biden will lose his record for oldest president ever and the gerontocracy continues.
Gotta think 2029 brings the biggest drop in age for a long time, JFK was 26 years younger than Eisenhower. We could beat it with a 56 year old in 2029. Vance would break that record if by election or...you know...but I think Whitmer would be 56 exactly. Wes Moore, Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro would all break it.

i don't think posts about him are appropriate here. the kind of dystopia wants to bring is not the boring kind. it's straight up cartoonish shit, like the government from v for vendetta

Those of us who gave it our all don’t deserve this.
God what an ugly bug he is.
Biden must be laughing his ass off right now. Should have let the old guy run. Turns out no one really cared about the presidents age.
The old guy should have never run for a second term so we could have had a chance at an actual full dedemocratic campaign out of someone.

Real Vanity Fair image, in case you were curious like me. From this article, about a quarter of the way down (on mobile at least): https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/donald-trump-wins-presidential-election-2024?srsltid=AfmBOoqLRfHo70JfvoeZaBIJqUpWHxf0nO_UKHUatbC_cgIqMWF3_dU9

People need to stop blaming voters, we all need to start understand why this happen more and more in the world and not judge the voters for their decision. I have some theories but its not the time or place, but stop say "people are dumb" or "People need educations"... 100 million people cant be all dumb or uneducated, go deeper!
Yes, yes they can.
They've been conditioned for 8 years that any negative thing they read or hear about their leader is "fake news", and likely their own pride of not wanting to consider the possibility they could be mistaken has made them easy targets for the misinformation machine at Fox News to avoid telling them objective facts to instead pander to their emotions and tell them what opinion they should have. Mass manipulation by biased media.

Metoo?
More like you, again.
A few thousand years ago the ancient Greeks said:
"δὶς ἐξαμαρτεῖν οὐκ ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ".
Roughly meaning: A wise person doesn't make the same mistake twise.
But again some people keep doing it
I think you're understanding it the wrong way. It does say "A wise person"
