    On the one side we have a perfectly serviceable candidate, maybe not the best ever, but pretty damned good. On the other side we have a diaper wearing grandpa, with severe cognitive issues who is not running for president but instead to be king/dictator. This second candidate is rude, shits on everything, is a racist piece of shit and a felon to boot. He is running only for the grift and will fuck over anybody and everybody (except for his own daughter who he just wants to fuck).

    AND SOMEHOW AMERICANS BE LIKE HOW CAN I EVER DECIDE 50/50

    This simply cannot be reality

      It helps if you understand that a huge portion of rural Pennsylvanians are overtly racist. It’s like they collectively decided the worst southern stereotypes were aspirational.

      //edit: I was born in Pa and live there. I’m not just slagging off my fellow Pensyltuckians. I see more confederate flags on the trip to my parent’s house a third of the way across the state than I did on my roadtrip to Tennessee last year.

        Flying a confederate flag in Pennsylvania is about the most ridiculous thing I can think of off-hand. In the south, they’re all about “it’s not about racism, it’s about heritage!” People flying it in the north are, like, “Nope, racism! I don’t have any heritage with this, except its heritage of racism!”

          Very slightly more ridiculous, imo, are the people that fly it in West Virginia. Whenever they come up, I think, like, do y’all even know why your state even exists?

      “Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor [Miles Taylor, a DHS chief of staff under Trump] wrote, recalling an alleged exchange with Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff between 2017 and 2019."

      Just real normal stuff to say about your daughter. /s 🤮
