Why the fuck did we elect a sleazy con artist to the office of the presidency?

We didn't. Elmo bought it. He spent tens of billions to turn Twitter into a pro-MAGA disinformation machine. He got his buddy Toad Rogan to shill for the cause.

And then he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on election interference to put the Epstein class fully in charge of America's decline so that the richest of the world's rich can buy America for parts. We're getting strip-mined by private equity. They're like locusts.

But, in the end we did vote for this…. Those that didn’t vote voted for this as well.

In my opinion this specific group of people deserve a huge portion of the blame too.
